Do you think there's any chance we'll ever return to the Milky Way in a future game? Would you even want to? If so, would you prefer a game set before or after ME3 (and how would Bioware address the endings?).
I personally would like to see a return to the MW at some point, set post-ME3 with the Destroy ending as canon.

Yes I think we will. But hopefully when we do Bioware takes a plunge and steps away from N7 and the Alliance finally. Playing for the first time as a cool alien race or a group of space pirates. Different cultures and morals i'm loving it already

No i don't think they should. The ending was a trainwreck and they would have to set a canon in order to make it work and that would cause all sorts of fallout. At most they should establish communication with the Milky Way from Andromeda which could potentially be doen whilst still respecting any ending being canon.

No.
That would require Bioware to retcon ME3s endings into a singular one to be workable, I think that's the exact thing they're trying to get away from by going to Andromeda in the first place.

I really don't think so. "We're done here".
Unless they do some spinoff set before the ending of ME3, I don't see it happening.

It's not a sequel to ME3 it's spin-off that starts, by MOST accounts, in between after the events of ME2 but before the start of ME3. Unless BioWare decides to completely remake the original trilogy (which is the ONLY way to truly fix all the problems with the endings) and declare that the endings to the remake as canon I don't see them going back to the Milky Way anytime soon.

I doubt it... if the franchise lives long enough, we might see a game set around an earlier point in the timeline, but the Andromeda "arc" (if it becomes one) will probably stay in that galaxy. The fact that we only have seen one star cluster of this new galaxy so far also speaks to that. Once humanity is established there (probably after MEA), they could go on making numerous games from there...

I'm fairly confident that the Milky Way is done. If BioWare wanted to do more in the old galaxy, they probably would not have bothered with this Andromeda Initiative in the first place, and would just come up with a solution to keep the familiar setting.

They could. The Catalyst said synthesis would eventually happen in a distant future, no matter what ending Shepard chooses. By the time Ryder arrives in Andromeda synthesis could already be a thing in the Milky Way, who knows. I doubt fans would be happy though.
That's why I think we won't get back.

The ending isn't the only thing that would be retconned. People often overlook the rest because the endings top everything else, like the sky above the earth, but even if there was only one ending, there are huge scale events that we choose, like killing or not the quarians,destroying or not the geth, rachni taking over Tuchanka with all krogan dying.

It was pretty obvious at the time that this was a total end for the franchise, since we could scorch whole fixtures in the setting.

Yes.
I want them to have the balls to make the destroy ending canon and then have the former Andromeda Initiative send an expedition through a wormhole back to the MW. Only to find out that the Yaahg are ruling the galaxy and only a small resistance of the other Milky Way races is left to fight them.

Yes. As more time passes by people clearly care less and less about the ME3 ending drama. By the end of Andromeda 3, I say the fanbase will be full on ready and accepting of canon post-ME3 Milky Way Galaxy state

Do you think there's any chance we'll ever return to the Milky Way in a future game? Would you even want to? If so, would you prefer a game set before or after ME3 (and how would Bioware address the endings?). I personally would like to see a return to the MW at some point, set post-ME3 with the Destroy ending as canon. Actually yes and there is simple reason for that yes. For the state of the Milky Way to "stabilize" after whichever ending of ME3 might have been canon, they need many centuries for its effect to "dissipate". Flying to Andromeda already takes over 600 years, assuming that we cannot find any way in Andromeda that would let us eventually go back and forth instantaneously... another 600~ years or less/more need to pass, if we go back. So, that is at least over 1000 years on average to go back and forth once - a lot of stuff could have happened in the Milky Way in that time, that could make any of the ME3 endings either irrelevant or "just history". That is how I see it, they can be laying groundwork for future ME set in Milky Way, but after the events of ME:A. ... Besides, the whole AI is described as an Initiative to find a reliable route connecting Milky Way with Andromeda. Whether this is just a "propaganda" behind AI or an actually honest intent behind AI is yet to be seen after release.

Synthesis is easily the shittiest lol

I always hoped they'd make a game in an alternate reality where the Reapers (and by extension, ME3's endings) don't exist, and I could just be an alien having rad adventures in the ME universe. I doubt that would ever happen, though

Maybe after they write themselves into a corner in the Andromeda galaxy... If we were to go back to the Milky Way, it would have to be some sort of post-apocalyptic reboot to purge all of the Ending-related stuff.

Different cultures and morals i'm loving it already It would be awesome if we played as an emerging alien race, and encoutnered the dominant force of the milky way: Humans. Then, as our race, we'd have to fight against their overlord manners.

They've said none of the three endings are canon, so the only way I see them returning to the Milky Way is if the "Refuse" ending was canon. Which could be quite interesting.... And probably depressing as we learn how our ancestors slowly fell to the Reapers!

I think it is possible, but highly unlikely. If they ever want to return there, outside of a prequel, they have to make one of the endings canon, they have to address some other major decisions you would have made in ME3 (Genophage outcome, Geth & Quarian outcome, etc).
As a side note, this is probably also why they have been so hesitant to announce Quarians being in the game or not, as once the Quarian(s) woke up from cryo, if they ever learned of what had happened with their species one way or another, the devs would either have to ask you what your Shepard did in that decision, or they would have to make one of those choices canon.

If we were to go back to the Milky Way, it would have to be some sort of post-apocalyptic reboot to purge all of the Ending-related stuff. We can always move to Triangulum galaxy. Plenty of galaxies left in the universe after all. But really at that point it would be easier for gamers to find a portal in real life to alternative earth, were Bioware actually hired some competent writers in their games. Or where CD Projekt bought the IP, i mean people are laways here screaming about how godly the Witcher is compared to all this, right?
