VentureBeat claims we're going to get a MET Remaster "Legendary Edition"

It's extremely difficult to make a good Cthulhuesque enemy in a game that emphasizes shooter mechanics over RPG.

I don't think any style of video game can make a good Cthulhuesque you are better off just leaving them to pen and paper RPGs.

I hope it's not "just" a remaster, but also bug fixes and canon fixes (ME2 endings), and with all DLCs.

To be honest, I’m actually not displeased with Priority: Earth in terms of the actual ground assault and beam run. If anything, I feel like the beam run would have been better off being that big final push to the Citadel and you have to avoid the beam entirely or it’s a critical mission failure, and then from there, it might function similarly to the trench run, where it’s a race against time to open the arms and get the Citadel joined before the reapers converge on the station and destroy it. Marauder Shields would be denied the legendary status he enjoys today, but I think we would probably have been better off. 

I only use the Illusive Man's base due to it being what could feel like a conclusion point to the game instead of going forward with a new mission and ending in the middle of it.

The reapers are fine for the game Mass Effect is, so long as you don't have to actually shoot at them. The original idea and what I figured when I first met Sovereign in ME1, was that they were an extremely advanced post-singularity Artificial Intelligence. So advanced and esoteric even, that they invoked Lovecraftian cosmology. That, was one of the high points of ME and what made Mass Effect unique. Otherwise, and I have to be honest despite it being one of my favorite franchises, it's more akin a Halo-esque shooter with Star Trek influences.

It potentially could stand on its own without the existential A.I. in the foreground. The thing with stories like this is that you have to have the quads to see them through to the end intact. People aren't going to be happy that they are nothing more than cosmic dust against an A.I. god? Good. Humble their anthropomorphic centric asses and teach them that sometimes, life is not that easy and the universe will actually not bend to your will.

Of course, this needs to be handled with discretion. I doubt the remaster will change anything significant aside from graphics and maybe some gameplay elements, but man would I love for it to clean up the Reaper plot and streamline it with how an actual post-singularity A.I. could be. Especially one so old; the fact that the Reapers seemed technologically stagnant and design locked was disappointing. Should have been a goddamn Matrioshka Brain lurking in Dark Space rather than some Holographic brat that never reached puberty. Seriously, don't be afraid to go big with "Lovecraftian" Space Opera.

I don't give a damn about humanity being magically special enough to end the cycle. I just want to be awed, even at the cost of feeling insignificant. I wish other gamers felt as I do.

That surely can't be true, lmao. 

Sequel to OG trilogy in the Milky Way means developing a game with 3(4?) different main plots. While fun to theorize and think about, it may be hell to actually develop. Shepard her/himself only survives in one ending, which means most definitely a new main character regardless, and Synthesis... requires a really good sci-fi author.

Not to play devil's advocate, but I can't blame them; it wouldn't work out unless the vision is there.

I agree. And Andromeda is nothing but a complete rehash of the first game, anyways. It would be lot better if Andromeda is nothing but a adventurous game where you could play different species like asari, human, drell, turian, Salarian, etc. Instead of a copy/paste game that tries to be like the first game.

Shepard dies on all of them, but the worst part is they have us believe that Shepard is alive after the Destroy ending. It's like they just want to throw they're hands up, and just write whatever they feel like. That is why I wanted them to do the trilogy over and create a proper ending.

Mass Effect was never the same after Chris L'etoile left.

Slightly disagree. It could have worked. But the method used was yes extremely lazy.
