Would you like to see the ME:Andromeda series reconnect with the Milky Way?

Sadly they beeped it up with the rainbow. MW is dead and gone. They should have just used the red ending after the arms open. Shep dies, s/he saved us all. Add a few epilogue slides depending on the major ME3 choices (krogans - fresh start or Wreav, ranoch - peace, quarians at home, geth possible new threat/friends) to get some galaxy wide closure to the trilogy. Roll credits, drop the "here come the dlcs" scene.

Of course they can return to the MW but they'll need to do a galactic retcon to match all 4 colors to 2 universal starts.
Green: after a hundred years everyone went mad because this was a dumb idea from the start. Everyone died.
Blue: starbrat overwrote Shep in a few days, galactic genocide continues.
Credible ending: *cue braveheart shout*, galactic genocide continues.
Red: uhm, on second thought, let's just go with the red, and forget the rest.

But no, forget the MW. Let Andromeda be a fresh start and make it right this time. I'd prefer if they copy the DA approach. Protagonists change but the timeline and world constantly moving forward. I think the Ryders could carry 2-3 games (make it a ~Ezio trilogy!) spanning a few decades. Then in the 4th Andromeda game (MEA 40+ years) they pass the torch to someone new. New explorers to reach other clusters in the galaxy or just a Hawke like somebody having his/her adventures in this new world.

Exactly. If they didn't want fans to get hopeful in any way shape or form, they wouldn't have made the initiative's ultimate goal to reconnect to the Milky Way.



That doesn't sound like something they are never going to do down the line.

My opinion:

Only if ME3 is declared noncanon

Effectively rendering Shepard's story incomplete because it's as if nothing he did changed anything if there's just no reapers or control-reapers by default.

If Destroy becomes canon, a return to the Milky Way is very doable. That would force BioWare to take a position on the ME3 endings, though, which they are determined not to do.

Only if the ending chosen was the middle finger to Star child. The one where the reapers succeeded again and Liara planted bunkers. The Reapers would only be 400 years gone by the time we arrive in Andromeda and 49,600 years away from returning. The only thing I want from the original trilogy is for the geth and quarians to have survived, maybe they hid in dark space or started a journey to Andromeda. Really as long as those fucking Bacterians are dead I will be fine.

I would be all for a certain small minority of players to be able to re-establish contact with the Milky Way, only to go, "Oh right, I killed everyone in the Milky Way because I didn't get exactly what I wanted."

Then again, they'd probably whine about that endlessly.
