Has BioWare abandoned Andromeda completely?

1) Darkspace is literally the space between galaxy’s as we saw on ME2. There is fuck all out there except MAYBE a relay. The only reason there was a citadel was to act as a focal point for the reapers trap. interstellar civilisations would find it at the centre of the relay network and use such a vast station as the centre of their power. Then the reapers would arrive upon a predetermined signal by the catalyst, wipe out the government of the ruling civilisation and lock down the relays to begin the harvest. This plan worked great until the protheans disconnected the catalyst from the “begin harvest” button. Out in dark space, there would be no stations or other mysteries for organics to discover as there would be no reason for the reapers to build one. It would run counter to their purpose and would be irrelevant.

2) Feelings on the ending aside, this is easily explained. In destroy and control, Shepard and shepardbot tell people what happened. In synthesis it is the catalyst. Easy.

3) We still know next to nothing about the Kett. For all we know, they may do exactly like the council and ignore anything past inactive relays. We know the kett forces arrived in Heleus via cryo ships. The distance between us and them could be thousands of years and therefore the disappearance of the archons fleet could be considered a mystery and therefore a waste of resources or too dangerous to follow up on.



For me personally, the easiest way I see to merge the two storylines would be to have the initiative not actually travel to andromeda. Instead the benefactor used them as a continuity of civilisation protocol and just sent them into darkspace for 600 years. Then programmed the ships to arrive in an unexplored part of the Milky Way and set up shop. With the simple matter of survival and establishing new homes, the deception would not be discovered for a very long time. The scourge could just be an after effect if the crucibles firing.  

Well said. I totally agree

Indeed, there's many, MANY reasons, MEA failed. Anyone who thinks Shepard would have somehow magically made the game good, or even better in any way, is a legit smooth brained imbecile. 

I agree, Shepard was just a bland avatar with a couple of bullet points to be the empty avatar for the player.  I also think if BioWare Montreal was going to make a Shepard game instead of Andromeda there would have been just as many problems and they would have been similar or exactly the same.  They were the ones that made Mass Effect 3: Omega and that has a lot of the echoes that Andromeda had, but it had Shepard and if I recall it wasn't well liked on the boards.  For some of the problems such as the writing, procedural content, mismanagement wouldn't disappear because Shepard was in the mix as a character.

I don't know. I know that combining the two galaxies is an idea that should be thrown away though.

I'm confused. I said there probably aren't super soldiers today. Since we don't have SAM and science magic armor. And Shepard is a super soldier only because she/he can just reload a previous save if they die. 

Having replayed Omega recently for the LE, the DLC is not great by any means, the plot makes zero sense without reading comics beforehand, it's all just running and gunning for 2 hours with basically no conversations at all, and possibly microscopically small levels of character growth from Aria if you push back the entire time, or you play the DLC because you have an Aria fetish and want Mistress Aria to plz stomp ur nuts harder so she gives you a kiss at the end. It was also very very buggy when it first released, which sounds very familiar...

Wanna place a bet that Bio comes up with that biotics make make you immortal. 😆

Me too tbh as long as they can come up with an idea that may make sense they'll go with it I think. But then a lot of sci fi I think is that way. At least Star Trek felt that way to me a lot of the time when watching it.

I knowwha tmy choice would b e to stay in Andromeda but that's just me.

2 didn't, otherwise you wouldn't have that "bring Shepherd back from the dead" BS.
