The multilayer directly related to the ME3 story in particular the galactic readiness, yes you could argue its not needed but for me it tied in nicely....Also a great deal of the ME3 longevity was the free multiplayer that had regular free dlc, that went a long way in the community. Not really concerned if the next Mass Effect has multiplayer as I'm unlikely to buy it, this was for a lot of fans Biowares last straw to redeem themselves a bit after some disastrous recent releases (Inquisition, Andromeda, Anthem). It wouldn't be hard to win some goodwill back with a decent remaster (Activision did just that with the Crash and Spyro remakes, Capcom did it with Resi 2 and 3 and even EA to some extent with Apex legends and the star wars games). Bioware has regularly failed however ME3MP related to the story insofar that it affected the readiness counter, but as an actual story component, it didn’t actually add anything to the game, and even introduced some annoying little lore bombs, like the awakened Collectors which never show up anywhere in the campaign. In any case, the prospect of an ME3 remaster getting as much life in it online seems kind of shaky. The fact that this is just a stopgap before they release a properly new Mass Effect game probably makes it too costly to be worth it. Also, since when was Inquisition “disastrous”? Not sure who started this revisionist shift, but this is certainly news to me. Its revisionist to think Inquisition wasn't disastrous, it was supposed to have longer support than ME3, that's what the devs said, look at how long that lasted...As for the campaign...It was a boring mess, far inferior to Dragon age 2 or the great game that was origins, how many inquisition missions were the same go to x location and fight y amount of enemies or pick up an item and track back. Trying to create an immersive RPG with the frostbite engine didn't work out and ultimalty the game was full of bugs.

Trying to create an immersive RPG with the frostbite engine didn't work out and ultimalty the game was full of bugs. Inquisition received 3 major story expansions over the course of the following year, so it got the same amount of support for its singleplayer content as Mass Effect 3 (I think it would be an insult to include From Ashes, since it’s Day 1 DLC). If you’re talking about multiplayer, yeah, that’s not really relevant. Dragon Age is not a live service game, so whether or not that component lasts has little bearing on the success or failure of the title. I think the metric by which we’re determining what constitutes something being “disastrous” is in need of reevaluation.

I think the metric by which we’re determining what constitutes something being “disastrous” is in need of reevaluation. The multiplayer is relevant as a large part of it was sold on being similar if not a step up from ME3 multiplayer. Maybe u aren't aware but ME3 had a huge following from the multiplayer alone, Inquisition was sold as both a story and a multiplayer game. Devs saying they would support it for a great deal longer than ME3 but barley lasting a year is a disaster. I have no idea what the dlc's were like, I finished the campaign once and was so bored with it that I didn't care to purchase any of the dlc and go through the game again. I'm usually someone who will do multiple runs and have done so for other bioware titles (Starwars KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1/2/3, DAO, DA2).

Not sure who started this revisionist shift, but this is certainly news to me. It wasn't me. Just saying. I actually thoroughly enjoyed Inquisition, in my opinion it was the best of the Dragon Age titles though I also really enjoyed DA II (except for the overly rehashed caves. Seen one, seen'em all....Right down to the last eight-legged freak). I really enjoyed Inquisition and I hope the forthcoming DA 4 is equally as good( I'm still unsure about the ANTHEM style Co-op/single player hybrid mash-up) that Devs had talked early on about "if these elements work, we would definitely bring them into the next Dragon Age game....." (or something strongly to that effect). Nonetheless, Inquisition is my favourite installment in the franchise and I am looking forward to the next one.

I don’t mind a new protag but I don’t want someone young like Ryder. I’m close to 40 and didn’t connect at all. I realize not all players are as old as dirt like I am and maybe better dialogue (a more experienced protag) might help. I dunno.

I don't have a problem with Ryder cause i am the same age as them but one year younger. I connected with them and would still if i was older. Age doesn't matter whether you'll like someone or not. It's about preferences imo. A more serious and mature writing can change them alot, and no new protagonist please until Ryder's story is over.

No I don't want this current version of Bioware anyware near Mass Effect if im honest, they took out multilayer from the remastered game which was a stupid move If they were to release multiplayer for this now, this creates serious overlap with the next Mass Effect game that’s coming, which will undoubtedly have multiplayer as well. Also, is Andromeda’s MP mode even still running? Up until this point I forgot it exists, but if it is, I doubt BioWare wants 3 concurrent MP systems operating within the franchise at this point. Yes MEAMP is up and running with a lot of people, nowadays theres a lot of newbies too, mainly from steam release.

Perhaps something like the Inquisitor, where instead of a specific age it could be an age range (Inquisitor can be 20-40). Very much this. I don’t play RPG’s with defined characters in their teens and early twenties. Probably miss out on a lot of good stories but I can’t make myself care about them. I liked the Inquisitor because I could make her look older and either ask questions or act like I knew what I was talking about. I understood what they were going for with Ryder, a chance to grow into the unknown with them over the course of the games instead of starting out as a badass but I have no desire to re-live my awkward young adult years. I just kept asking myself why in the world someone let this character be in charge of so many lives. I don’t remember anything about my Ryder anymore, never even think of her and I have no desire to ever hear from her again. You can be out of your element and not sound like an idiot.

I realize not all players are as old as dirt like I am and maybe better dialogue (a more experienced protag) might help. I dunno. I'm 27, but I find myself in this boat. I always connect better to protagonists in their 30s generally because of their maturity and sensible skill sets. I moan and cringe at most movies these days that have a teenager taking up an unrealistic role in saving the galaxy or whatever. When I started Mass Effect, I was roughly 16 and Shepard was the perfect age range 29-32; I could practically use him as a role model. With Ryder however, he felt more like 21 when I was 25 and it felt like I was reliving my freshman year of college. No thanks.

With Ryder however, he felt more like 21 when I was 25 and it felt like I was reliving my freshman year of college. No thanks. This actually reminded me of another slight issue. My daughter is about to turn 18 , meaning some of the romance options are just few years older than her. I can’t do that. I don’t want to. Have no interest in trying. Romances are optional, yes. I can still play the game just fine but that’s still content that I’m missing out on. I’m not a cougar, thanks. lol Good for those players that have no problem ignoring those things or not thinking about them. But I do and I’m allowed to be disappointed by it. All I’m hoping for is middle ground. I still played it multiple times. Loved the worlds. Really loved that jetpack. Like a lot. But if you don’t connect with the main character then that casts a shadow over everything else.

I think BioWare's intent was for MEA to start the Ryder kids years before where Shepard was at the start of ME. Shepard had already earned both reputation and maturity by then … if BioWare had done a prequal to ME, that focused on Shepard, we would see that younger Shepard, making the kinds of mistakes the Ryder twins make in MEA. So in effect, MEA was like a prequal, to create the Ryder backstory, for the next installment, where they pick it up along the same competence/maturity/experience/age lines as Shepard in ME1. For whatever reason, that idea has been lost to most in this forum. Whether or not BioWare follows this idea in NME is unknown (at least to me), but that was their stated intent. So I don't worry so much about Ryder's age in MEA … I look forward to seeing a more mature, experienced Ryder in NME … someone along the lines of Shepard in ME1. As far as cringing at romance options that are too close to the age of your children … I think that is something every parent goes through … and later, in reverse, that every child goes through, thinking about their parents' love lives.

Yeah, leaving some flexibility would be best, preferably with options to be a bit aggro when we feel it most appropriate, but then be able to dial it back to kind of be our “old self”. Last thing I want is just a Shepard 2.0.

I think ryder is gonna be more matured and experienced, but keep their old self to an extent. It'll be weird if suddenly they are only serious and out of character.

ah yes, little Ryder being more mature in a sequel? Ryder is just an incompetent doormat. It seems like whatever they learned in the Alliance, and from their father, a former N7, went in one ear and out the other. Look at the first encounter with the stowaway. Why is there a timed- delayed interrupt? Did Bioware want Ryder to enjoy having some ugly alien on top of them for a few seconds? Why couldn't Ryder get in the asari's face about what her problem is? If I saw my squad leader/platoon leader/company commander do nothing, my first thought would be this guy is a wimp. Is that what the Alliance and dad taught the kid? Not to stand up for yourself? If so, that might explain a few things in the trilogy.
Later the asari wants to be on the team. Why would I want someone who admits to preferring to work alone on my ship? Ryder should know that it takes team work to get things done in the military. There's no I in team. But that's ok. Maybe Ryder wanted to be knocked to the ground few more times.
On the ship, the krogan will setup in the kitchen/galley. Ryder doesn't care, but wants to talk about the kicka** team, as she/he calls it. That pretty much sums up Ryder, the I don't care attitude. That attitude follows the little one throughout the game.
Liam 'I am a traitor' Kosta tells Ryder he's been suspended x amount of times. Why wasn't Ryder given the opportunity to ask the guy that question? I would curious as to why. Oof course the player learns why later in the game. The traitor does stupiud crap without giving any thought to what the consequences might be. But that's ok, Ryder doesn't care. Sure Ryder gets a line of dialogue to be firm, but at that point, it's too late. For me, after talking with Bradley, I would have turned around a shot the traitor dead. My Shepard would have killed him before doing his loyalty crap. I wanted Ryder to turn the guy over to Nexus security to explain why he's stupid. He no longer can be trusted, and there's a very good chance he will do something stupid again going by his history.
Back to the stowaway. Her girlfriend breaks into the ship. Did someone forget to turn on the security system? But that's ok. Ryder doesn't care because the matter isn't taken seriously. Later on the robot is found and brought back on the ship. Hold up little one. Why aren't you scanning it for foreign objects? Oh that's right, you have the I don't care attitude.
Later the stowaway uses the escape pod for her personal use to get some object while at the same time putting the pathfinder, the other squadmate, and those on the ship in danger. That's all part of the I work alone attitude. Obviously she doesn't care about anyone. Once on the planet, my Shepard would have thrown the asari in the lava, I would have left her on the planet, and I would have had Ryder turn her over to Nexus security to explain why she used Initiative property for her own personal use while at the same time putting many lives in danger. But Ryder doesn't care. There is no punishment to the asari for the crap she did. All because the little Ryder doesn't care.
What hurt the little one is father Ryder is killed off at the beginning. If anything I would have had him survive, but incapacitated that he can't perform as pathfinder, as seen with how badly he was limping. I would gues he has a broken hip. With having the father around, his kid could talk to him in between missions about what to do and what to avoid in case he/she runs into a similar situation. It would help the kid grow and learn.
If Ryder were to return, and Bioware makes them more mature, I would have it where at the beginning the stowaway and traitor don't return. Someone will ask why they're not on the roster anymore. Ryder will reply saying because she/he realized that having squadmates who do stupid things can lead to bad things and that they no longer can be trusted. That would be start.
If Ryder were in my unit, I would have them either transferred to another unit, have them put on KP or just have them guard the latrine. She/he has to get rid of that I don't care attitude because it can, as seen in the game, lead to bad things.

I just hope they don’t harden Ryder too much. I liked their personality over Shepard, so please leave it a choice for the player to make. Yeah, leaving some flexibility would be best, preferably with options to be a bit aggro when we feel it most appropriate, but then be able to dial it back to kind of be our “old self”. Last thing I want is just a Shepard 2.0. And most of us don't want a Ryder 2.0. If hardened protagonists aren't your thing, then maybe galaxy ending/altering storylines shouldn't be your plot of choice. I'll take a serious, commanding lead who understand the gravity of situations over one chasing butterflies all day.

I didnt much connect with Shepard, he's kinda there in the background, not as much as .. uh that Witcher guy thankfully. I did connect better with Ryder.
I'm 45. Ryder seems less defined than Shepard, less than Inquisitor for me even.

That's funny I had a mental picture of a guy in heavy armour frollicking in a field of flowers, leaping and chasing after butterflies. Hilarious! Kinda like I felt and what I saw after that one time I was in the hospital and they had me hopped-up on Demerol.

Something I felt Shepard was lacking, especially in 3, though some of that I’m attributing to the addition of “action mode”, that created lots and lots of autodialogue. As for galaxy-ending/altering storylines, I’m wary of BioWare’s attempt to try that again. Let’s hope they actually plan this one properly.

Cause I don't remember it being in MEA.

Why was that mode even made? Cause I don't remember it being in MEA. I’m not sure what BioWare was thinking when they created that. I’m loath to insist that BioWare was becoming too much of a EA tool and creating a “filthy casual” TPS, but that’s precisely what action mode is. It’s just for people who want to blow through the game on autopilot, which is a baffling decision for a BioWare game in a trilogy typically defined by its choice system. What a total wank that was. Unless there’s some other title made way back when, I think ME3’s the only one that has it.
