Has BioWare abandoned Andromeda completely?

They kind of did when Bio abandoned MEA and put the whole franchise on ice until LE came out and MENext was announced.

As far as in know DA2 should have been a DLC for DAO. But with the big Success of DAO, EA forced Bioware to make a full game out of the DLC.

Everything that Hudson says shouldn't be taken at face value (after all, he was one of the few people who lied regarding ME3).

And I would take the facts that have been shown over a guy who lied and caused the shit show that this franchise is in now.

So the fact that all support for MEA in terms of updates to fix the issues still wrong with with it, the fact that no plans were discussed in regards to a sequel and the fact that MENext not only hints at it taking place in the MW, but also seems to move away from MEA doesn't count?

The guy said one more story. Bioware had that guy say that line of dialogue for a reason. Him saying the details changed over time, it happened so long ago means it's possible for Shepard to return for ME4.

They abandoned the Milky Way when Shepard's story isn't finished.

If there's to be an MEA2 with little Ryder returning, I want it to take place a short time after the events of MEA. That's because of the kett. They are the main threat. The Initiative has nothing to defend against them as seen when the Hyperion was taken. If anything, I would like to see the kett attack the Initiative in force. Getting rid of the Initiative wouldn't be hard. They know the location of the Nexus and outposts. I believe they also know the location of Aya. They show up in force attacking the Nexus. Within a few minutes, the Nexus is destroyed.

The only reason I would want a sequel is because of the benefactor. If it wasn't for the Initiative, would he/it/they/she sit back while the galaxy burned instead of giving whatever information they knew about some threat before Shepard showed up in ME1?

One way to get my attention for another game in Andromeda is to have the game take place far in the future where Ryder is a passing memory. Get a new main character and new side characters.

They have experience and training in the military yet prove how unfit they are. Did the Alliance and their father, a former N7, train that stuff that Ryder does in the game? Whatever the little one learned went in one ear and out the other. It's all about the I don't care attitude. I could walk up to Ryder, smack them around like a little ragdoll, watch then fall to the ground, curl up into a fetal position, then start sucking their thumb. Some have posted, Ryder could be more mature in a sequel. To get me to believe she/he has, I like to see that right at the beginning of the game. A new squadmate asks why the stowaway and traitor are no longer on the roster. Ryder came to theconclusion that doing stupid thing can lead to bad things. Doesn't want that to happen again. To correct that, he/she removed the stowaway and traitor from the roster. That would be a start.

I think - dont know - a some of the talks are last minute additions, not refined as too are the animations...

But yes, I dont see much difference in overall writing quality personally. One can pick examples from all the 4 games for plus and minuses.

Why, exactly? neither the Angara, or the AI have warships, at all. The AI is an idiotic organization that deliberately chose to show up in foreign lands with NO WEAPONS. None of the AI's ground vehicles even have weapons. What could these groups do to stop a fully focused Kett attack exactly? The Kett could sit in orbit, with their warships, and just bomb planets into submission. For gods sake the one time at the end of the game Ryder magically summons the Forerunner ships, THEY DON'T EVEN FUCKING SHOOT! This is the most ridiculous, lopsided set up I've ever seen in fiction. It's like a bunch of brain dead fanatical pacificts wrote this crap. Ryder can't be everywhere, and your team is clearly the only ones capable of defeating any Kett at all given the missions we're given the whole game. THe only reason the Kett haven't already won is pure narrative bullshitery.

Everyone here realizes Dragon Age 2 didn't get finished either, right? The Exalted March was cancelled, and it's whole narrative neutered and squished into being a footnote in Act 1 of Inquisition. Bioware decided to Prioritize their stupid, pointless Felicia Day DLC, the Mark of Felicia Day instead because they wanted to fanboy over a massively overrated actress.
