In the light of 'No Mans Sky', could and should there be a 'Mass Effect Andromeda Next'?

The Angara aren't all bisexual sex buddies, obviously, but the amount of focus that BioWare showcased with the #makeJaalBi twitter campaign (their only addition to the single player, outside of patches BTW) which, when coupled with the fact that they were created with a primary intention of being a romance option, certainly makes it feel that way. Especially, when one also takes into account the overall bland, non-alien depiction of them we are offered in-game.

They're designed to be the new Asari, but are even more human-like than the monogendered space babes were in ME 1.

They couldn't even tell that Legion was a geth.

Could there be? No. EA was pretty brutal with how they axed everything related to Andromeda. I'd say it's more likely that we'll see a KOTOR3 than Andromeda get any more development.

Should there be? Since it's all hypothetical anyway, I don't see why not. They'd have their work cut out for them, though, as the issues with the game are deeper than some ugly faces or abominable UI.

Not very well explained. But that's nothing new for the series. (ME1 at least had the decency to shuffle most of its plot holes offstage.)

I'm not sure I understand the logic here, can you elaborate?  My thought process is the MW Galaxy has had space travel for thousands of years and weapon technology has advanced so I'm not so sure why a few decades is all they would take to be outclassed after an alien discovered FTL.  Sure the MW stuck in its mass effect tech but I don't think there is any indication that other races would in a short time branch off.  It may have been a crutch but it also was a giant leap forward, it would probably take centuries just to catch up to where the MW was.

No, but I would be willing to debate how the Geophage was justified if you want 

BioWare could have done a lot when it came to Andromeda but, seeing as how it was out sourced to the unproven 'C team' and then was stuck in upper (mis)management hell for the better part of it's development cycle, I guess we should't be too surprised that it turned out the way it did.

If there was going to be a "ME NEXT" of any kind, I'd rather BW focus on releasing a ME3 special edition. Tweaking the storying in that game. There's a reason Andromeda was dropped; and it'll be a good idea for EAware to stay away from that game wholeheartedly. But with all this ME talk going around, that BW is already brainstorming for the next ME. I'm really interested in where they're going to go next. I personally hope they just bring back Shepard.

If there is going to be dedicated sequels in Andromeda I would prefer to see any rumored story developments getting addressed in-game and not having to have required reading of various novels to understand what is going on.

As far as the Quarian Ark goes, I would prefer that ark arrive in Andromeda at the start of any supposed second game without any complications. I would also prefer that said ark is stuffed to the gills with all the other Milky Way species that we didn't get to see in the first title. The Quarians, Volus, Elcor, Hanar, Drell, and Rachni (at the very least) need to make the trip, since Andromeda is in bad need of 'alien' aliens to populate it.

I couldn't agree more.

It's time for aliens like the Elcor, Hanar, and Rachni to get their turn in the spotlight and out of the perpetual 'joke/cameo race' typecasting they've been lumped into. All the significant plot lines regarding the mainstay races are done, and there is little reason to keep retreading old ground. I swear if we have another Genophage/Krogan oppression plot line in the next Mass Effect...

Even exploring the simple nature of how these aliens with wildly diverse physiologies would approach things, like combat and colonization, would be far more interesting than what we've seen so far with humanity and the 'big 4' human-like races.

It would be really amazing if we could actually get some of those 'alien' aliens as companions. More companions like Shale from DA:O or Legion (ME 2), characters written to explore compelling ideas and interesting concepts, and less companions merely put in place to satisfy a romance option please.  

Personally, considering the Hanar's duality already shown with their Face and Soul Names, I always figured that they would approach combat with a focus on deception and misdirection. Extensive drone support & Drell auxiliaries would make up the bulk of their forces of course, but with a very small, and very dedicated Hanar "commando squads" providing them with quick surgical strikes. I don't think biotics is a skill commonly employed by their species, and it seems more like any such individuals would be kept far behind the front lines as valuable leaders, or at least supportive assets, to assist the rest of the armed forces. As a species the Hanar seem naturally secretive, it wouldn't make sense (IMO) that they wouldn't 'flaunt' their biotic experts in simple ground combat like the Asari and Humans do.

As for companion 'classes' go, I pictured a Hanar being more an infiltrator myself. Being able to float through the air, squeeze into impossible spaces (thanks to no solid skeleton), and possessing natural neural toxins as well as multiple, dextrous limbs would make them formidable close combat opponents; especially if they got the drop on a target. I mean, someone's training the Drell to be assassins, and anyone with that knowledge and skill set must possess said capabilities themselves.
