Do you think we might ever return to the Milky Way?

If there are any quarian aboard the nexus, they dont really ahve to answer anything, since Shepards decision were made after the AI fleet leaves Milky Way, and thus dont mean shit. Quarians in the andromeda are not affected in any way.

And i dont think they weill be returning to the Milky Way any time soon, if ever. Casey abd Mac screwed up that galaxy so soon and so totally, they are better off without it. And these two bozos will never correct what they left behind, artistic integrity after all(not to mention their egos on the stake). That would mean after all admitting they were wrong, and if theres one thing ive learned about people in power, they very rarely if ever admit doing something wrong and taking any responsibility for it.

I think we might yes. Maybe not soon, but at somepoint yes. There's still so much potential there, it'd be a waste to just mothball it all. They could just do a star trek and have some kinda alternate universe/multiple timeline/anomaly business etc etc.. its worked for Star Trek for over 50years. I see no reason Mass Effect couldnt do the same.

So what, if theres no connection to MW(i suspect all quentum entanglers will be destroeyd or unresponsive), it will be a complete mystery to them what happened in Rannoch, and since its over 2.5 million ly away it will remain so.

No. We can't. They messed up the first three games so badly that it wouldn't make sense to return there.

Will we go back to the Milky Way? Probably. Is BioWare actually ever going to make a ME3 ending canon? Unlikely.

Why do I get the feeling I see this thread recreated every month?

Well, consider the fact that Andromeda takes place 600 years after ME2/ME3. Mac Walters has already hinted at the fact that the Andromeda Initiative is interested in creating some form of communication between Andromeda and the Milky Way. That's not going to happen in MEA, but it's something BioWare wants to do in the future. A lot can happen in 600 years and BioWare could create some lore reason why all the choices have essentially been homogenized, so no ending is retconned (except for Refusal since that was a joke ending).

It's also possible BioWare may just explore the other 99% of the Milky Way we never saw and avoid the areas that were in previous games. There are a lot of things BioWare could do without necessarily having to deal with the ME3 endings. As long as whatever they come up with is compelling and reasonable enough, I'm certainly not against going back. I thiink it would be interesting for Mass Effect if at some point the games start encompassing multiple galaxies.

I believe it depends on the failure or success of ME:A.
If it fails the likely-hood of ever going back:


If it succeeds:

Then yes back we will go.

If our crew finds a wormhole capable of connecting both galaxies, why not?

It's HIGHLY improbable for there to be  a natural wormhole with such precise characteristics,but an alien civilisation with a very advanced spacefaring technology can always create a device that forms artificial wormholes, you know?

I think we will. It took them six hundred years to get to andromeda so pretty much whatever the ending for ME3 was can be summed up by this "not mentioning it". With the exception of the asari and krogan there will be noone in the milky way who was alive when they fought the reapers. If you choose control ending then shepard could have taken the reapers away from the milky way and thus never see them again just like we wouldn't see them in destroy ending either. SYnthesis could easily be ignored by saying that the species of organics modified themselves with tech to become more enhanced. Thus all this could easily be dealt with.
