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

Narnia's good, but nothing beats LOTR 

It's not even a "happy" outcome, it's a hopeful one.

EC tried to gussy things up by trying to TELL us these were "good" outcomes. But they largely ignored what it was that made them so horrific to people: forcing the protagonist of the trilogy, a character we've been playing for five years, to commit genocide, or forcibly eugenicize (it's a word) the galaxy, or hand the galaxy over to the very machines they were fighting.  And we get a slideshow basically telling is "it just works"

They slapped a coat of paint on the endings and didn't actually deal with the underlying problems., and called it a day.

Interestingly, in contrast, Telltale's first season of The Walking Dead was released that same year. It was a game with fewer choices available, and essentially one ending. But how the game responded to player choice led to the (obviously) sad ending feeling potentially very powerful and "worth it" in a way ME3 couldn't hope to match. 

That was never going to happen for many reasons. They addressed as much as they could with the Extended Cut, and honestly that was a gift compared to what most other studios would have done.

Exaxctly it was called Mass Effect becasuse they wanted to still use elements of ME in the new story such as he Turians Asari and Krogan for example. They jus twanted to get away from the whole reaper thing and tell a new story set around a nwe bunch of characters. In that for me they succeeded. How good or bad the story is subjective at this point and totally based on peoples individual opinions. Personally I liked MEA still do but I know ther are plenty that don't and I'm happy to leave it at that.

Well, the end of Andromeda leaves a lot more headroom to work with than what we have left of the Milky Way after the scorched earth space magic death bukkake, so why not? 

I guess the thing about dull characters as a complaint that rings hollow for me is that this doesn’t really mean anything when it comes to material that’s yet to be developed. As an example, let’s look at the MCU iteration of Thor. The original Thor is boring as fuck. Doesn’t matter what anyone says; this character didn’t really resonate with general audiences, even the actor himself was bored and was basically phoning it in in The Dark World. But, he got revitalized and managed to make his way to being a fan favorite. Again, doesn’t matter who personally didn’t like these changes, it was clear that these changes were wildly successful anyway. Whatever deficiencies in writing and characterization that exist don’t obligate anything made in the future to adhere to the them. If BioWare swapped protagonists and the entire cast because they want to follow a Dragon Age model of this being about the setting and not the central characters, then fine. I’m used to that. But if it’s the result of overreaction to fan feedback, and they decide to fall for the ridiculous lie that creating a new character is a solution that works, then I’m afraid I’d have to call bullshit. Remember, characters aren’t real people; they’re just fabrications of writers. If the writers can’t assemble interesting characters, they can’t solve any problems with trying to create new ones. Maybe instead of changing Ryder, they could just get new writers. If anyone’s worried about character consistency, they can find comfort in the fact that this doesn’t exist for BioWare protagonists anyway. 

The point about the power wheel and having options to choose your roster are moot, as they have nothing to do with Andromeda specifically. Had they created a game based in the Milky Way as a direct sequel to ME3, these things would have been exactly the same. I’d even chance a guess that the functions of SAM in terms of combat gameplay would also have been present, even possibly having a version of SAM that speaks to us, just under a much different context. 

The Extended Cut definitely doesn’t smooth out all of those horrible nagging things that plague the original ending, but frankly, the ending is so immensely damaged that nothing save an entire rewrite from everything from the beam run onward could ever hope to tie this logistical shit-circus together. 

I would say the Milky Way has just as much headroom as Andromeda. After all, what happened in the Milky Way is based on a story told by someone that has changed it at least once. And is uncertain what the details are since he did say some of them have been lost over time.

Since I know nothing about thor or the mcu stuff, I'll leave the looking to you.

Getting new writers doesn't guarantee the characters will be better. For me, I don't see what they could write that would get me interested in some of the characters

They are not moot. Don't you like having more choices in the game? Not having a power wheel felt like why have squadmates at all. Having the ability to not recruit a squadmate can give replay value seeing the difference in the game.

I believe it can be depending on what Bioware were to do. You say everything from the beam run, I would say everything from the moment Anderson mentioned his plan before the fleets headed to Earth.

I wouldn't say TLJ (the best sequel movie) killed the franchise, maybe JJs Rise of Palpatines clones granddaughter or Solo or over saturation did. In a way though you are right in that I think last Jedi should have ended it, and maybe others felt the same.

Also I was satisfied with the extended cut endings, and I always appreciate getting something for free.

Ben Iriving said it on one of the Livestreams.  Of course being the internet one person saying something means the entire company feels that way and people wonder why developers stopped talking to us.

Yes, it did. Evident by how Solo lost money and tRoS had the weakest start out of all Disney Wars. You can say it isn't so, but it is so.

I'm guessing I'm in the minority, but I'd gladly take a remaster, reboot, remake, or any other form of MET content they cared to throw at us. No complaints, no expectations, just give us MET in some shape or form and I'd be happy. MET and ME3 in particular (largely due to ME3mp) are my all-time favorite video games, so its hard to imagine myself not enjoying it, whatever they end up doing. Heck, I even enjoyed Andromeda.
