Like I said, I feel like Bioware is going to try to appease MET fans and only give ME:A fans crumbs. Which would be incredibly stupid on BioWare since many user reviews on sites like MS Store, PS Store, Amazon, and even Steam constantly given ME:A plenty of high reviews often around a 4 out of 5 which is a not bad rating, but because of Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are the only reviews that are worth a damn to big media companies, so yeah I expect them to return to MWG and that will be a huge mistake, because pandering backwards fanservice gets old faster than a lot of media companies think. Bold, new and risky directions can fall too, but at least it shows that a company and/or a franchise can and are willing to take a chance and if succeeds then you have years of new storytelling options to explore. Instead of sticking to Shepard and company and wearing them out because of a vocal minority of fans got their feelings hurt with the endings to ME3 and won't be happy even if BioWare canonizes that damn ME happy ending mod. I want new worlds, aliens, ships, vehicles, ideas, weapons, enemies to fight not the same old worlds, aliens, vehicles, weapons, and enemies like the geth, collectors, and reapers leftovers to fight. Which is wh yI' mon the fence wit hth enex tone as like you that's wha tI want t oI don' twan tmoe rShepha tboa tha ssailed as far as I'm concerned

Vocal minority? Is that your assumption or is there any stat proving what you posted to be correct? What about the fan's who may have been ok with the ending's, but still wouldn't mind if Shepard were to return? Even with fan's being upset/disliking the ending's, I would say there's at least another story for Shepard, crew and squad. The storyteller said as much. That can happen in the Milky Way. You do know about 1% of the galaxy has been explored, right? Who's to say there aren't other species out there in the unexplored part's that survive despite the reapers? A few systems could have pulled an Ilos by isolating themselves from the rest of the galaxy.

I just want Andromeda's story to be continued. I was really intrigued by the story implications of the remnant technology, the kett technology, and who the Jardaan were.

For all it's faults (which aren't as many as people claim), it deserves more. I honestly don't believe ME1 would have had the same hardcore following if it hadn't become a trilogy. There's so much left undone in MEA. Even dlc could have made MEA greater because it would have had the opportunity to, at minimum, tie up the identity of the Benefactor.

What I want to know is the origins of the angara. I find it interesting that an AI race would create a race or organic beings that is filled with so many questions it's mindboggling.

Do we know the Jardaan are synthetic? The Remnant are, but it’s clear those are just a drone force like what the Quarians wanted the Geth to be.

Same. For all it's faults (which aren't as many as people claim), it deserves more. There are a lot of fault's. It started with Jen "I can't balance my checkbook' Garson all the way to the end of the game. It removed option's that were in the trilogy, one's people liked, to make the game more streamlined. Then there is a main character who is pathetic at best. Really sad since dad was a former N7. Maybe. It did offer a lot of new species for people to interact with. The game had a number of option's that gave the game a lot of replay value. Maybe so, but I would not want little Ryder to be part of that. ah yes the benefactor. This part doesn't make sense. This so called benefactor, with a vast amount resources, and knowing something is out there, decides to help Garson instead of going to the council to report whatever information the benefactor has. Had Garson not woken up one day with a wild hair up her a** to go sightseeing, what would the benefactor have done when the reapers show up? Would the benefactor have sat back while the galaxy burns?

The closest is Jaal saying that it doesn't matter if the Angara are created by "an AI superpower" is where I got the idea from. IMHO It would be LOT MORE interesting if they were though, if anything else it would be nice "flip the script" approach that would be different than the quarians/geth or humans/cylons we've already seen.

Just a couple of thoughts for what is new in this thread.
First is Liara, my opinion is with other choices BioWare had available in the prior games it gave us Liara being the only character from the past that would work as an exposition dump since very few characters would always survive Mass Effect 2. Which is something I hope BioWare finally learns is there is no such thing as a Schrodinger's Character. They are either dead or alive at the end of the game, so if there is a chance they can die during one game they never return otherwise it makes a lot of other things feel half-baked for the character needs to be able to be removed if the player chooses death.
As far as completion I firmly agree a story heavy game shouldn't be open world for it dilutes the pacing for the story and stretches it thin too. As mentioned, I avoid most of the extra content in both ME1 and ME:A aside from the companion quests and it makes both games more enjoyable for me. At times I don't think people who want to see more story in the BioWare games and then compare it to Mass Effect 1 realize how short a game it is. My typical game in ME1 anymore is just under two hours but keep wanting it to be a game that is some arbitrary length that gives rise to the problems in Andromeda.
Now I probably have a controversial opinion on what setting to continue, but the reality is I don't care which one they go with. I just don't want BioWare to go with what people claim is what "everyone wants" and instead they make the game that meets what BioWare wants to do. I think that is why the earlier games worked so much better is because they weren't trying to keep the more noticeable groups happy. If the game starts in Andromeda and the clues lead back to the Milky Way that would be fine with me, I just want to see something new instead of being chained to choices and decisions dating back over 15 years.

Completionism can definitely be taken too far. I have conversed with people on these very boards who are adamant that they need to stripmine every single planet in the galaxy via the planet scanning in Mass Effect 2 until every single one of them is flagged as 'depleted.' because doing otherwise would not properly complete the game in their eyes.
Some of the same people also complain that the planet scanning in ME:2 is boring.

I like to be thorough but never set out to turn over every stone. Doing so would drive me nuts. I only pursue optional content that interests me. To this day I still have never collected every shard in DAI.

Some of the same people also complain that the planet scanning in ME:2 is boring. I agree, but I will also say BioWare encouraged it a little as well. I only did a full drain of every planet in ME2 after hearing that it would be carried forward into ME3 (so I only did it once because of that) same with the collections in ME1 going into ME2. That is one of the reasons why I liked the idea of the clean slate approach of Andromeda was that they weren't chained to what players did or did not do in the first three games. I am thinking that if Shepard doesn't return in the next Mass Effect game there is a chance that it might not be a full reset again, but it will still give BioWare the ability to trim things from carrying forward. Then take new approaches and hopefully not repeat the ones that might have a negative impact on players such as The Hinterlands zone in Inquisition.
