Next game is set in Milky Way galaxy and will feature Shep

Unless I'm mistaken, he will say more than one person if he manages to kill multiple people. I guess Thane is easy since his death is guaranteed. 

Personally, I would've preferred silence, with maybe a louder piercing crunch noise.

I don't see how so🤷 Andromeda itself really doesn't have anything that "needs" to be carried over really. Nothing demands Ryder "needs" to be involved, nothing says the companions "need" to be carried forward as well. Essentially one can see Ryder's story as done and that's all it takes for a future game to not involve them. I can't remember the names (haven't played since beating it on launch week)but I believe the garson investigation can easily be solved by someone else, it doesn't have to be Ryder who resolves it, people just want it to be Ryder doing it, it can also be someone else working on the kett threat and again, it just doesn't have to be Ryder who does it, people just want it to be Ryder. For me Ryder would only be essential to carry forward depending on if anything related to them was unfinished and what was unfinished for them? They get their sibling back, they proved they can handle the role as a Pathfinder and Andromeda ends in a way where newer protagonists can come out of it. Personally I'd just time jump to where the colonies expand and bring in a plethora of customizable protagonists (especially multi-race choice) but that's just me. You're still in Andromeda and they can still be involved vs the kett as well as the expansion and exploration of Andromeda.

As for this foundation, I just don't see it, I saw a game become a mockery and I'll say that's quite the foundation if the future games are to build off it.

"Hey this games cool, think I'll try the one before it now........omg that game is bad, this one is so much better". That's how I see it for a general audience which bioware is gonna have to work with after their last few ME games just losing people. Universally I'm pretty sure Andromeda wasn't well received for multiple reasons. I see it better restarting the foundation.

I'm not saying they won't or can't continue on with Andromeda either mind you, I however just think it'd be better for them to do a soft reboot over the soft reboot. I'll even be honest, I'm not interested in another game keeping what's in Andromeda carrying over into the next, nothing was impressive or good enough for me to think they need to🤷.

Ultimately I'm very neutral on where they go, I don't care if it's the milky way, Andromeda or a new Galaxy altogether, I just know that I found Andromeda's characters so childish and uncreative that I don't want them in sequels. Hence me saying to essentially pretend like it doesn't exist.

As I was reading this, DA2's Hawke - especially the purple/sarcastic variety - came to mind. Hawke & Ryder have a fair bit in common, including family members included in major plot points.

From time to time, BioWare takes a stab at a PC that's not a designer superhero, and with mixed reception. While some really appreciate the more personal, growth-oriented story, others crave the traditional power fantasy.

A lot of people don't understand what a remaster is. It only changes the graphics of the game, not the story or gameplay.

But gameplay wise both Hawke and the Ryders are still power fantasies, killing enemies by the hundreds during the course of the story.  I thought that it worked fine for Hawke, who had already gained a certain reputation after the year that passes between prologue and Act 1, while the Ryders often talk (and get talked to) like bloody recruits but still drop 'em like Shepard on the battlefield, giving me the impression of some kind of goofy-Jekyll and cold-blooded-Hyde split personality going on there.

I just used them interchangeably, so there you go
