Where art thou, oh Great Old Ones?

I am not the sort to start threads, usually, but with all the negativity flying about I thought I would make a (mostly) positive comment based on what little we know.

In what we have been shown so far, I have noticed a distinct lack of that beloved Bioware trope known as the "ancient evil," by which the main plot is reduced to another tired fight between our protagonist and some wannabe villains straight out of their millennia of retirement. The Reapers, the Blight, the Collectors, the idol, the Catalyst, Corypheus, and our bald friend Solaris all make the list.

Is anyone else tired of it? I know I am. It is a crutch that has made many a main plot suffer. And I am noticing a distinct lack of it in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Of course, we all have heard of the Remnant, but nothing suggests they are evil or even still around. It is looking like a story of exploration and colonization, of finding a new home in this brave new world (which one can only hope will have such people in't) while dealing with internal conflicts and clashes with the locals. That is interesting and has a lot of potential, and if they are brave enough to go for it and not fall back on tired cliches they get my respect... until Dragon Age 4 anyway.

Of course, it may just be that we haven't seen them yet. I remember when we thought Dragon Age: Inquisition would be about juggling the different factions in the Mage-Templar War and the Orlesian Civil War, only for it to be revealed that in fact we would be dealing with skydiving demons. Joy. This is all speculation, as everything else in this subforum. But I am willing to place a little trust in Bioware. Just a little, mind.

Thoughts?
