Realistically, I'd have put Ryder (MEA), but I put Ryders because I like the concept of basically being an evolving SAM that controls multiple characters and arguably puppets them (with all the actual moral quandaries therein).
But to be clear, the second option is basically 'Ryder (MEA)' as well. It would still be a Ryder story.
EDIT: Also: -Do I want Shepard? Kinda, yes. I'm probably one of the people most wanting a reimagined Shepard if it fits into a grand story to tell. I know many don't want this. That's cool too. -Do I want a new protag? Kinda, no. Not for now. What would tip me over into wanting it is if Bioware brings a good species selection. Even a 'basic' set of Human/Asari/Turian/Salarian would be very enticing to me (I'd try Turian or Salarian!). If worried about romance (like asari customs, salarian sex drive), I think Bioware has evolved to the point of being good with romantic or emotional entanglements that are just as interesting to seek as sexual ones.
I just want Ryder the most, specifically for the single next title.

I picked Ryder, since there are still some things left unresolved with them so I would like that finished first before moving on. After that I hope the next protagonist has race options.

I have no problem with another game in Andromeda with a different character. But I disliked Ryder. I would have rather played his father Alec. Time and time again his crew undermined him, and there was never an assertive option. The entire thing wasn't believable at all. The game would have made more sense if Cora was the leader or the PC. I was made to believe Ryder was the hope for everyone. Ryder was an absolute joke. I want to play a more serious and assertive character someone who will speak their mind. I voted for Shepard. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Edit: Oh and the dialogue with Suvi was absolute cringe

Voted Other because:
Ryder is a bad joke. And Shepard is a compete tool/dumbass.
Just my 2 cents...

That part we can agree on. Andromeda should of had this option. It would of been the perfect time to implement it! Fans have been calling for this since ME2...

Yeah, I’ve said many times before MEA came out that that was the perfect opportunity to integrate options into the game since it was the first time all the races were in the same boat literally and metaphorically.

I'd love another Shepard and her friends game but, realistically, I don't think that would work. I didn't like Ryder much so I'd prefer someone new. I didn't like the idea of Andromeda much either but I would accept a game set there.

No matter where it’s set my preference would be a new protagonist. I’d prefer it be set in andromeda because while I think they can do a mw setting that most players would accept I’m not sure I’d like it. They’d either have to canonize a series of choices or time jump to a point the setting is unrecognizable enough that andromeda is just as undeveloped. Given that there are story points in andromeda I’d like to finish.

I actually wouldn't be opposed to more choices in background for Ryder. Shepard didn't have a lot of that but it was more than what we got in MEA. I wonder if they could flesh out the backgrounds a little more, even if it's just slight divergences. For example, maybe there's more to the story of why Scott ended up guarding the Arcturus Relay. Maybe it was less about his father and more about, perhaps, getting into fights with others when they talked shit about Alec. It leans a little toward Paragon/Renegade, though obviously not as much as Shepard. I also think a return of the interrupts is a must. It really defined the PC, even if the overall impact isn't there (though it could, if BW were willing to write several different outcomes).

I would actually love if MEA itself was the background setting for the next game, but in the sense that a bunch of the things that we thought wouldn't mean all that much, or didn't mean much in MEA, ended up substantially (though not hugely - Bioware after all) forming a later Ryder. Have it further ahead (5-10 years) more than we've seen for protags before. But I do like the idea of getting to determine more elements of personality through being asked of pre-MEA background. MEA interrupts were mostly super lame. They don't need to be lame. They don't need to be Para/Rene. But they need to be cooler and done smarter.

Gotta go with Ryder. Ryder is young and has potential to grow more with the player's choices and I think they have a destiny that's a lot greater than it seems.

I'm going with the Ryder's they are young and like all young they have room to grow especially Sara since she was a archeologist of sorts back in the MW.

The only way I could accept Ryder as the PC again is if there is first and foremost a better character creator, If MEA2 takes place in Ryder late 20s to early 30s when his testicales finally drop, If he has severed contact with that old crew, and that SAM thing in his head is unable to speak anymore or at the very least get a more entertaining VA. Edi was endearing, SAM was straight up annoying.

Edi was endearing, SAM was straight up annoying. I have a similar but more moderate view. -MUCH better character creator (with the caveat that it should facilitate something similar to an appearance we made previously in MEA - just for consistency) -Keep old crew characters, but not necessarily as shipmates. Part of me would be intrigued at a (new to Bioware) setup of keeping the 6, then stuff happens to scatter and turn the 6 into temp-mates until the end/DLC(?), and add in new characters to fill in the gap in meantime. So like a mix of MEA and ME2 in that structure. -SAM is reimagined, but present as a thing
