Instead of BioWare launching some DLC over the next year and a sequal in three or four years, wouldn't it be interesting if they'd take Mass Effect: Andromeda as the canvas, a base, for creating new stories for years to come. Episodes if you will. Short stories about exploring new planets (like Star Trek episodes), developing storylines like KOTFE in SWTOR, stuff like that? A bit like a MMO, without the story quality being that of a MMO.
Of course they'd need to polish the base game quite a bit, but it will also give them the time and a financial reason to do so.

I really prefer a full new game. I did not like how SWTOR episodes turned out in practice, and DLCs and their pricing is really a sore issue with me, as someone who bought DA2 and ME games late, and the whole idiocy of each DLC costing almost as much as the game, never going on sale, and not included when you buy the game. It's just all around bad stuff. I would rather wait a few years for the next full game, then be overcharged for 5 hour content every 6 months. I have patience.
Also, withand w/o DLCs it creates different versions of the game, breaking MP and Mods.

That's already what essentially happened with Inqusition and ME2. The new DLCs technically brought the plot one step further. The vanilla game had a lot of non-critical plot things in the critical path and the DLCs were no different.

You mean make it episodic like Hitman and The Walking Dead? Fuck no. I hate episodic games. Keep that shit away from Mass Effect. DLC like Overlord, Omega, and Leviathan, yeah sure. But no to a full episodic Mass Effect game.
