That's too optimistic. Well Anthem 2018 is fine because it was already delayed to that, but DA4 for 2019 makes no sense with them starting development on it this year, that's a 2020 release at best. Another ME games won't start until Anthem is released (so won't start to work on it until end of 2018/early 2019), then you add ~3 years of production/development and you end with 2022. Yeah we should be more prepared for 2022-2023 Mass Effect even if it just might end up better. Not sure about 2020 DA4 because a studio can and does work on two games at the same time and Bioware hasn't just been twiddling their thumbs and conceptualizing a game over these years. Maybe, but like, that's not how it always works. 2020 is more likely for Dragon Age, by then it might be ready for a new console generation. Mass Effect, give it five years from now minimum.

Why? We can roughly assume that the Iniative has only been in Andromeda for a year and most of that year they were dealing with a resource crisis and an alien threat. I mean, they would have gone with that to get us to Andromeda rather than LOL ODSY Drive Remember they had to be there first for that M/C Bridge to even be possible in the first place: Pegasus and Milky Way and built from both ends to the middle. So maybe the AI was the first step in the inter-connectivity of a Andromeda/Milky Way bridge. Everything needs a beachhead on both ends for a bridge to be possible.

I don't think this is EA just pandering to fans with N7 day, if it is, they've put some remarkable effort into it for just some community fluff, and for what purpose if so? Moving more merchandise? From compilation of the art in it there's some 80 images per game in the trilogy, with 120 for ME:A.
The scope of that indicates they're considering something more than just stuffing the IP into their vault and forgetting about it, and that it depends on having access to save game choices. Still, when and in what form is anyone's best guess.

( Un)popular opinion: AAA games shouldn't be doing c&c/save transfer across the series. Never works, do a self contained story and focus on characters/relationships. Kind of like Alpha Protocol.

So maybe the AI was the first step in the inter-connectivity of a Andromeda/Milky Way bridge. Everything needs a beachhead on both ends for a bridge to be possible. There's plenty of SF precedent for that; for instance, in Hyperion the farcaster network has to be expanded by sending a Hawking Drive ship to the next system., which can take months or years depending on how far you're going. Hell, that's how mass relays work -- you need a pair (telescopes excepted, apparently). Of course, when the AI left there was no idea of how to do it, and the QECs to the MW went down during the Reaper invasion. OTOH, that could be repaired, or a new QEC dispatched to Andromeda sometime after the end of the war.

Could someone use the profile photos from the own Shepard from WiiU or PS3?

Looks like nothing from trilogy is automatically plugged in, except some ME2/ME3 DLC entitlements and ME3 achievements. Also no way to make a custom Shepard, only choose one from 18 combinations of origin/psych/fame.

Being able to change Shepard's name should have been an option.

I've sent feedback to Bioware about a few things. That was shortly after N7 day. One was about Allers. It has the choice between romancing her or not. Its hard to do that if she was never brought on the ship. Don't know if Bioware will add that to the archives. If they don't, I would be curious as to why they wouldn't. The same for a lot of stuff missing from the archives.

Go to Shepard gallery, choose Shepard, duplicate that one and you have a customizible Shep Yeah, there really should be better instructions on site.

Its roundabout (and really likely never to be reflected in any game), but you can change Shepard's name.
And the background history, gender, basic alignment.

I appreciate Bioware's effort in the matter, seeing all important events from Mass Effect franchise in a modern context is endearing in it's own way, and it's show's there's at least some love for all the good things Mass Effect has accomplished. Also in my humble opinion the tapestry art is gorgeous, definitely the best gift Bioware gave us this N7 day. Yah, until I know what it's used for, I won't be using the site except for shits and giggles.

( Un)popular opinion: AAA games shouldn't be doing c&c/save transfer across the series. Never works, do a self contained story and focus on characters/relationships. Kind of like Alpha Protocol. This is my belief as well. The choice and consequence should be dealt within the game itself. The start and end point of each game should be similar for all to have better continuity. Witcher series did this to an extent. The only choices that carried forward were minor at best as most of the other C&C were dealt within their respective games itself. I feel this to be a more honest and workable model, rather than accounting for an exponential increase in branches.
