ME3 sequel

I feel ME3 sequel would be the worst option to continue the series and I'm not really interested in prequel either. MEA2 it is then for me.

Lucky bastard.

Like I said before, I want to see it only because all the youtube clickbait whores and trollbabies here and elsewhere will still rage and cry beyond reason and I can play my fiddle while Rome burns. they will scream and cry in their white knuckled fit over anything they find wrong, constructive negative or positive criticism be damned. Like sharks smelling blood they will come and they know ever since the redone ending to ME:3 that EA considers Bioware a small niche operation and they think the mentally ill ragers are the typical Bioware rpg player.

Back to MW? Ehh... Nope!

I've said this before but the AI makes no sense whatsoever and therefore even the basic premise of Andromeda falls flat.
The average member of the AI doesn't know anything about the Reapers so you're left with the ludicrous 'resources' explanation behind the expedition. Travel to new galaxy for resources and the investors will have to wait 1500-2000 years (600 years each way plus time to consolidate) before even the possibility of a return on their investment? Leaving behind a galaxy only 1% explored? This makes sense to the average AI employee? We're left having to assume that the Initiative is staffed by idiots. A pretty poor start for a franchise.
That's why the Milky Way, with all its problems, makes more sense to me if we ever see another Mass Effect game .

In one of the AI briefings. But you're right, I can't remember it being in the actual game.

But without the 'resources' reason, why on earth did they go (or what reason did they give the volunteers)? Exploration? I honestly can't remember if it was mentioned.

With less than 1% of the MW explored the exploration justification just doesn't cut it.   I'll give you a choice of two expeditions, one is going to Andromeda with an untested drive system and untested cryogenics, if you should survive the trip, everyone you know will be long dead and if something goes wrong you have no way of ever returning... or you could explore the Perseus arm, see new sights, find new alien species, come back in 3 years, probably very wealthy from the data and new discoveries you bring back...  

It just boggles the mind why they didn't make the AI a response to the Reaper threat.  It explains everything from the reason for going to the poor planning and oversight on recruitment and has no practical drawbacks to the story. 

I remember me and others theorizing that the Nexus was actually a giant Mass Relay that we constructed and it was connected to the Citadel, so once it was completed and we were established the connection would be activated and allow near instantaneous transportation between the two galaxies. 

A lot of the individual participants seemed to have signed up with the AI to get out from either the Citadel government or their own political and social systems. In retrospect, it's not surprising that things fell apart so fast when your entire population base is malcontents.

Halfway through the game, the player learns the crucible has enough energy to destroy the reapers. That's your ending right there. On Cronos, Vendetta says the catlayst is the Citadel. Once the arms are opened all the way, the crucible fires its beam of destroy all over the galaxy destroying the reapers

Sequel? Could be anything.

Going with the above, Shepard is in the hospital looking out over London. She looks to her right to see space hamster on his cell phone talking to his agent about having a movie about him saving the galaxy. He even got an offer from a company called Bioware to make a few video games about him saving the galaxy. He looks cute wearing his Blues Brothers shades and smoking a cigar.

She looks to left at the chessboard dreading that she knows she will lose again playing chess with Traynor when she shows up. There's also a datapad Hackett left the other day giving updates on whats going on. The doctors will release her soon once her wounds have fully  healed.

She turns around to see Hackett walk in. He sits down and mentions that even though the reapers are destroyed, he's wondering if there's some that may have not been destroyed. There could be some in darksoace that may have avoid the beam. He's also concerned about this Intelligence Leviathan told Shepard. Where is it? Can it still build more reapers? He's working on plans to have Shepard head to darksoace to see if there are more reapers, but at the moment he has no idea where exactly in darksopace they could be. Shepard knows they used the Citadel to come and go during cycles. Unfortunately the Citadel is badly damaged. No idea when repairs will be completed.

He does mention that he would like her to head to Cerberus headquarters to see if there's any clues that might help.

Once out of the hospital, Shepard with her crew and squad, including Miranda, head to Cronos. Once there, they find a secret panel that leads to a big area. Shepard encounters Jana, the female seen in the video logs. She has been hiding since the Alliance attack the station. She tells Shepard all the information that TIM knows about the reapers. She even mentioned that he somehow was able to locate where in darkspace they stay between harvests. She has no idea how he got that information.

Can take another trip to talk with Leviathan to see if it knows anything more than what it told Shepard

So the sequel would be going to darkspace.

I read posts from people wanting to play as another species. What if you can, not for the whole game, but for a few minutes? I will use Garrus as an example. How much do you know about the turian? He was in the military, then joined C-Sec. After the events of ME1, he went to Omega to shoot bad guys. He has a sister and father. What if the player is able to ask him about more personal things? What was his first day like in the military? Was he nervous? Is there a mission that he likes talking about?  At that point, the game turns back the clock to that time. You play as Garrus. You're on a mission.

The same can happen with the other squadmates. I would also include crewmemebrs as well.

For Shepard she/he can talk about a mission that's related to his/her background.

If romancing someone, can have something that's personal that wouldn't be known if that character isn't romanced.  Again that could be anything.

I would add Kelly in the game. She can stay in the medbay with Dr.Chakwas to help. During the game she is seen walking around making sure everyone is ok. Maybe even have a few of them talk to her about whatever.
