What makes Mass Effect so different? (And my opinion on the state of the community)

(Now I feel like I have to word this very carefully. Why is that? Well, recent events have made it clear - I take it back, since ME3 - that the we as a community are a...sensitive lot. And I know I just insulted one person already with that statement. What I'm trying to say is that with all that's going on with MEA, BioWare, EA, the fan base it's evident that we constantly love nothing more than to insult one another or try to get one of us riled up. It's gotten so out of hand that I'm starting to think that some of you don't actually believe what you say in terms of what side you're on and only post things to get a angry response - and half of you guys fell for it. Seriously it's like 2016 politics in this bitch - bitter, anxious, depressing, and overly annoying. My point is what I'm about to post try REALLY hard not to get offended, triggered, or feel the need to defend your purchase if I bad mouth Andromeda. If you liked it - cool. I don't care. If you don't want hear me say anything SLIGHTLY negative - do yourself a favor and leave. Let me be clear AGAIN I'm not saying EVERYONE here does this but it feels like I have to make things clear. Now on to the post.) 

Everyone seems on the forums to be at arms with each other (again) over Andromeda. Now I don't feel like going over the issues that happened before and after launch - maybe another time - but something has always perplexed me. With other games that came out that seemingly deserved criticism I have to wonder ME:A and ME as a whole seems to be that ONE game that I know of where the fan base is more divided than really one sided. I only say that because Dragon Age II also got a lot of flak from fans, journalist, and reviewers for not living up to its predecessor. Hell I remember fans in the OG forums were brutal towards DA2 over reusing maps, everyone being BI, the story being very repetitive and etc. and yet despite all that they STILL released DLC and in game items. Still DA2 was saved by memorable characters (maybe Sebastian being a slight exception) and being more or less a prologue to DAI but it still got a sour taste in fans. Also No Man's Sky got blasted to shit after its launch by disappointed consumers, memes over the stupid looking aliens acting goofy, promises that weren't kept, and people being treating Hello Games with the same level of disdain as some of us treat BioWare. But surprisingly rather  than just pull the plug because of few meanie poop heads they've been updating the game to the point that it runs better than it was before. Nothing great but they're trying to let fans have the some amount of the  experience that was shown and promise before. And no matter what you think of this game - that is both sad and funny that a 16 manned game developer can keep updates better than a triple A company backed by one of the biggest publishers in the business. But whatever I'm sure some of you are gonna reply to that one and call me an asshole. 

So what I want to know is this: between Dragon Age II and especially NMS what makes Mass Effect: Andromeda so different? Why is it that many of us will agree on one thing but get real but controversial over the other?
