Do you prefer ANDROMEDA? or Milkyway?

I sometimes choose Synthesis. As a mysterious, utopic ending that is never subjected to further development or scrutiny, it's okay. As abhorrent as the Reapers' actions have been, "throwing away" the collective knowledge of so many thousands of species does feel like compounding the tragedy. The Reapers, their killers, are all that's left of those species. It's a weird conundrum. It is easy to imagine that newly peaceful, repurposed Reapers with all of that knowledge could vault everyone forward and upward in stunning ways. As a definitive end to the IP, it works okay.

That's precisely the problem. They never intended to continue ME past the trilogy and the endings show it. Though many have claimed otherwise over the last 6 years, everything Casey ever said before 2012 indicated that ME would conclude with ME3. He and a few others had spent a decade of their lives crafting the world and story. They didn't intend to go further. This is why he felt he could burn the setting to the ground in the finale. He didn't need to leave a workable loom for future stories. Casey ultimately helped lay the foundation of MEA and then took a much needed break.

If they'd originally planned to continue ME, I'm confident that versions of Destroy would've been the ending if the MET. Since they had no further designs, the vastly divergent, open-ended conclusions were used.

As to Control, I agree that it's creepy and ominous. I have only chosen it twice: once to see it, and again to refresh my memory. I'm not a fan. I prefer Destroy. It eliminates the horrific threat that has likely killed quintillions of souls. It preserves the civilizations who have come together in an incredible way. It gives them a chance to build something special, united in a way that would've been previously impossible. They lose the collected knowledge of the Reapers, but they're permanently rid of the killers. Development isn't a straight line, anyway. They'll forge their own future, free from the Reaper threat. We can leave the galaxy free from Catalyst/Reaper manipulation for the first time in untold millions of years. That's the best possible ending in my opinion.

Its good to see Milky Way has be chosen the most so far. Keep it up people

The game gives me no reason to let the geth upload the code since I have no idea what will happen. How do I know the geth won't attack me like they did before the option to have the code was available? Without the reaper interference, the quarians would eventually have destroyed the geth. I'm helping them finish the job

But since this is thread about the Milky Way or Andromeda, I will add Milky Way for the win.

I think that is the problem I have, for I have seen it in the past there are people saying "I will accept..." and not just with Mass Effect and then it becomes a major issue for them because they really didn't "just accept".  I don't doubt there are people that are in the camp, but I think there are many more that really aren't.

I have no problem avoiding that conversation since they are standing tucked away in security and we really only need to go that way one other time (for Keri).  It's also possible to just not do the First Murder quest until after talking with Keri in jail.  I think they put the two of them there just so you could avoid talking with them (and it doesn't affect the completion of the quest either).  I generally feel less compelled to "meddle" with Ryder than I did with Shepard.

Strange, I have completed it after patch 1.10 where i bugged out on me on my first two playthroughs.  Maybe its that I started a new game after the patch and they fixed a lot of the quests, but they are broken unless you do a NG+/New Game.

The one quest that bugs me on the PC version is the antibotic quest on Kadara which never spawns when you give the stoners the UV light, which still doesn't activate.

Well, to be fair, if one even hints at not being interested in buying a remake that declares a canon ending, people start coming at you for that... so, damned if you say you'll accept it and damned if you don't.  We're deadlocked on these boards on that issue and have been for some time.

I've never been able to give the antidote to the guy with the fever, but the "Running a Fever" quest doesn't appear at all in the quest log at all, so it doesn't affect game completion at all.  The "Emergency SOS" quest with the stoners is completed and marked that way when you give them the UV light.  Similar situation to "Earn Your Badge" - If you're trying to complete a first playthrough that started the log before they decided to just not make it quest, you probably won't be able to ever close that entry now.

I think that games getting as large and open as they are is directly causing greater issues with these sorts of quest bugs.  It's a shame they cut off further patching but on the other side of the coin, they probably don't want to end up in a situation where they're forever patching the game since it's not the sort of game they can take into a "forever under development" stage (like Minecraft).  Having the game being in constant development may have been the idea when they were flirting around with procedural generation though.

There were initially quests in Fallout 4 that could not be completed and, as I recall, the game could not even be advanced beyond one of them.  Bethseda patched it.  The same can be said about the two in Andromeda you're still on about.  Earn Your Bade is clearly fixed and can be completed.  "Running a Fever" was deleted as a quest.  Yes, you have an errant NPC that talks nonsense because the applicable content was cut.  That Bioware's games have been adversely affected by content that was cut late in development is without question.  Such errant NPCs are evident in all the Mass Effect games.  Bioware has always been overly ambitious and too late in coming to grips deciding what content they really want to run with.  The larger the game, the bigger the problem for them.  When they cut "Running a Fever" out of the quest log, they also needed to go back to that NPC and delete the request out of the conversation you have with him... but they obviously forgot to do that.

Without knowing what the actual part of the programming that was screwing up, it's hard to say why they didn't or couldn't do it the way you suggest.  I also believe Anromeda has residual problems directly related to the initial procedural generation programming.  I still think there are a number of memory leaks in the game... since, I seem to be encountering more framerate issues and dialogue cutting off or not sounding the longer I've had the game installed on my Xbox One.  In fact, after I'm done this current playthrough, I plan to delete everything and reinstall from scratch to see if things improve again.  It is undoubtedly a game that did require more patching... but EA snuffed that out by collapsing the studio doing those patches.
