Just an FYI, the Liara teaser has outdone the 2018 VGA DA4 teaser by one million views. Truly Mass Effect is saved and that is, of course, because all 2.4 million of those viewers want either Ryder to return or want a new protagonist. Because when people see Liara, they think Ryder/New Protagonist.

The real question is, does Bioware know or care how much people want to see Ryder after the teaser with Liara.

Pairing the Ryder Twins with a good writer will always a good thing. Between Ryder twins with a good writer or Liara, I prefer the Ryder Twins with a good writer. Liara is quite low on the people I want to return within Mass Effect.

I'm gonna say they do (i hope). Gamble sees the comments when he started production on nme, and now ofc. His response to this guy talking about abandoning andromeda, and ryder and crew gamble replied with "i think you should wait and see " it seemed to me like he's reassuring the fans that we'll see something. He wouldn't respond if it was something else..I won't be surprised if we see or hear something before n7. With the LE releasing on march, followed by Andromeda's 4th anniversary a week after, it's gonna be great.

I have this idea despite if the game is gonna have a new pc, it really doesn't to. We have the twins, and if there's a connection between both galaxies and stories, both of them can be playable but the one lesser than the other. Similar with what they did with Andromeda but a little bit more this time.

If it was done right, and done well....I honestly think a merging of ME OT and ME:A would be the best of both worlds. But it would have to be writing that was on par with the OT both in terms of STORY and Characters. I liked the Ryder twins...I liked ANDROMEDA, I just didn't like that they dropped the ball and left a ton of loose threads (like the Quarian Ark and Ellen Ryder's fate). Though ME:A had nowhere near even a fraction of the emotional impact on me that the OT had, and that was not only because of the story, the writing etc...But most importantly the characters. The vast majority of OT characters (with the exception of Jacob and Zaeed, neither of whom I liked as said before) I more than thoroughly enjoyed. Even characters like Miranda whom I had a love/hate feeling about at first, grew on me...and now I like her. But it's characters like Jack, Tali, Wrex, Grunt, Joker, Thane, Legion, EDI, Ashley/Kaiden, Samara, Kasumi and others that I really grew attached to over the course of the production life of the OT. I mean, never before (even 9 to 14 years later) has the ending of a game left either pumped for a sequel, or bawling my eyes out at the conclusion.
That kind of writing was lacking in ME:A, and is hit and miss in Games in general with the exception of perhaps DA:I because that single game is so vast and complex.
So if this new ME Installment is equal to the OT, it will be exciting to see.

Similar with what they did with Andromeda but a little bit more this time. Well I feel for Liara that how other people feel for Cerberus that She is overdone and burnt out. I have an idea for Ryder Twins take on a Black Talon Wraith(new faction and new enemy npc type) as a Main villain. The Premise is that The Black Talon Wraith offer a way to be immune to Kett's Exaltation at a cost by becoming a member of Black Talon. Black Talon would be a replacement for Cerberus a new Evil Faction and yes they have Reaper Tech and yes they have a better grasp on it than Cerberus does. If asked I will develop them to be work within either galaxy

From what i saw no, neither he liked something when people wrote that. He only retweeted a photo of a guy with shepard and ryder on his arms, and he put a heart. Don't know if this means anything. Maybe nothing.

I ask because if someone who played the trilogy, but not MEA, that person could assume that Shepard is returning because t'soni is being shown with an N7 logo in her hands. Also with the guy saying one more story, the teaser could be hinting at being that one more story.

It was a trailer and as we saw with ashley in ME3 bioware changes characters apperance sometimes.

Personally, I'd rather stick to Ryder and Andromeda.
I'd only accept seeing Shepard if Liara has gone mad with power and has created her own harem/army of Shepard clones.
I guess the Shepard Reaper/AI from the control ending would be ok too.

I would greatly prefer a new protagonist from the Milky Way.
Shepard should be left alone, especially by whoever wrote MEA. That's why I voted that I don't want Shepard or his companions to return.
Andromeda's setting and characters don't interest me enough to miss out on 600+ years of Milky Way developments just to catch up with them.
But that's just me and I don't expect BioWare to care for my preferences in any way. They will and should do their thing as they think is best, and I will decide whether the result is worth my time and money. Hopefully it will be something that many people enjoy.

While they will and should do what they think is best the question will be is economic interests or something else be what they see as best.
Economics they should probably go with Shepard, but I share your concern with what they would do with him/her with these writers. And would also prefer a new protagonist.

To be perfectly frank, I think that the one and only reason to use Shepard again would be strictly a marketing decision, and none of it a creative one, which will probably make it suck. I’ll be perfectly happen to be wrong since that means I get another Mass Effect game to enjoy, but exhuming Shepard’s corpse for another go doesn’t sound like a decision born of actual inspiration to tell another story.

To be perfectly frank, I think that the one and only reason to use Shepard again would be strictly a marketing decision Choosing to make another game in the franchise is a marketing decision, as well. In fact, making any product is inherently a marketing decision. EA deciding to back another game is a marketing decision. EA closing Bioware, because they are not willing to back another one of their games, would also be a marketing decision. Bringing Ryder back is also a marketing decision. Making a new character would also be a marketing decision.

BioWare’s never resurrected a protagonist with a variable end state, and the character they did bring back despite being able to be killed had less than stellar results. I see this being no different in the end.
