Are you hoping for pure canon or a little canon bending in mp?

I would rather them just claim it's some kind of simulation so that we can break canon as much as we want in the characters.

I would also like a character that is a cannon, wielding other cannons.

wait... Krogans in birhgt pink armour is no longer canon? well that's just preposterous!

No cannon - only powers - RAW POWERS! - and melee!

Canon is the easiest thing to break and rejig in sci fi. You can come up with 101 different reasons for making changes.

Holodeck/training excersise pretty much covers any lore problems. I would not mind anything creative. BioWare always does best when it's tongue in cheek. Like with Huttball.

I would not mind Rachni, Geth, heck, even a Dragon Age, JE or SWTOR map revamped as a "costumed" Map, IP/copyright permitting. The company has a lot of awesome goods, if they use 'em, I am game!

for me more options>canon but I know there must be some degree of adhering to the storyline. Let's hope they aren't above stretching the norm like they did with platinum and the collectors for the betterment of the community.

The Geth were my favorite classes in ME3 so I wouldn't even be mad if they broke cannon and added them.

We're not, actually, compared to ME3.

We already know of 3 factions we'll be fighting, presumably the same in MP:

1. Raiders/Anarchists - Replacement for Cerberus*, but more interesting since they're all of the friendly races including Angaarans. Mix of all ability types.

2. Kett - Replacement for Collectors* They are actually quite Collector-like in appearance, and I bet they'll play similarly due to having many different types of the same species in combat as well as using biotics.

3. Remnant (drones?) - Replacement for Geth*, of course. Lots of tech.

* In gameplay

Story-wise, it's hard to say how much of an antagonistic role 1 & 3 will have. The Remnant drones could be hostile by default, since you're accessing their stuff, and the Remnants themselves might not be, if they're alive in some way. Raiders don't seem unified since they're killing each other, but there could still be an infighting story about a more unified group with a more clear leader.

No canon bending, please, it would probably make it really difficult to aim.

That said, I'm ok with pure canon, but I'm also open to a canon-flamethrower or canon-lasergun hybrid.

All they gotta do is say "oh hey these (insert ME3MP enemies here) stole some Ark Tech and now they are in Andromeda too!

In fact it's very likely that Cerberus had operatives close to the project, and knew all about it, and once indoctrinated, passed that info along to the Reapers and Collectors and Heretic Geth.

y/w

We are still one short, and tbh, I would actually would not have minded going more Factions rather than less.
