Anyone else feeling kinda depressed with the recent news? A gamer's confession to similar-minded

It's not canon. If you never played Arrival and didn't load a save from someone who played it, you get a different line from Anderson, (The shit you pulled) instead of the Batarian line.

My wife says the saddest thing she ever witnessed was my face after the initial Kotaku reporting. I recognise quality reporting, so was able to make peace with it some time ago.

Well, it's only my opinion, but overall, as I trudged through Inquisition, I went from assessing it as: "hang in there! It's gonna end any hour now! We've gotten that far...we can't give up now!" To "oh, look, it's almost interesting!. 

Trespasser methodically identified, extracted and ground into dust every tidbit of "good stuff" I managed to salvage during my martyred treck through the dull wasteland of Inquisition. Trespasser was my ME3 ending, and I have liked ME3 endings. So, it was like getting a semi decent "end" and then getting it revised into a scream-inducing retcon. 

Maybe Andromeda was an ME fan fiction, but it was a fan fiction that was fun to read. Trespasser was a fanfiction of the sort of "100 Unfunny Ways to Kill the Char I Hated" for a char you've liked. It was an insult to injury and *then* we got to the real torture....

Except that the dying Batarian is still there to blame Shepard for blowing up the relay.  Balak also shows up, even if the player did not complete ME1's Bring Down the Sky.

I'm fine with, and even expect, DLC being canon.

The problem I do have is that the Inquisitor's story in DA:I no longer feels complete without the $20 DLC. Trespasser relates back to the events of the main game just a bit too much to really be just an introduction into the next game.

I do also think that Arrival was pretty stupid to put in a DLC as well, since it was an important story point in the trilogy that could leave people confused as to why Shep was being detained at the start of ME3. Had it just been about delaying the Reapers and the detaining part was included in the main game, it would have been fine.

Lair of the Shadow Broker as well is fine as it can be explained with some dialogue with Liara telling Shep about how she took down the Shadow Broker if you didn't do it in ME2.

DLC should be nice extras for people who enjoyed the game and want more before the sequel comes along. The base game shouldn't feel incomplete without them, and that's how I ultimately feel about Trespasser with DA:I.

Depressed? No. It's a video game. Am I a bit disappointed this is the end of the line for Andromeda? Sure. I would have liked to have seen BioWare Montreal try to redeem themselves and the game.

Pretty happy with how things went down actually.

Nah, been playing other stuff- The disappointed part was when I found out there was no badass Martriarch mom to romance. Instead I got Pibbi.

Would rather the series be dead than have them release another lighthearted, goofy Mass Effect.

This really isn't any different than sports fan booing and throwing things on the field when they don't like something that happens during a game. 

Less fat dudes in body paint to deal with on forums though.

Don't see how that disputes what I said.
