As much as I would love a Q intervention, I don't see it happening here. The only way for us to truly return is for them to do a Tomb Raider reboot style starting everything from scratch. Edit: Damnit, why do I always get the top of a new page.

The only way we will see the milky way again ironically due to Andromeda is if the series reputation is so badly damaged that the next Mass Effect game will be a complete hard reset of the entire franchise.
A game set in the post ME3 ending MWG is never going to happen. But if it did synthesis will become cannon eventually. Destroy and control are merely postponing the "inevitable" certainly within 1k years. That would go down a treat with fans and general audiences.

Edit: Damnit, why do I always get the top of a new page. Considering how badly they ruined the Milky Way regardless of what ending you picked that may be the only and the best way of doing it. I guess we will see what happens once they ruin Andromeda.

Not necessarily. It is never confirmed that the Quarians go extinct if you side with the Geth. It was suggested that it might be the outcome during the game, but that doesn't actually occur during it. It also doesn't make sense. One battle should neither result in the Quarians going extinct or the Geth being destroyed. The Geth were housed on servers spread throughout Quarian space so losing Rannoch should not be catastrophic, particularly considering it was said that they barely even occupied the planet. There also would be no reason why some of the Migrant Fleet couldn't retreat through the relay following a defeat at Rannoch. Multiple fleets were able to do just that in the wake of defeats by the Reapers, an enemy many times more powerful than the Geth. It would make more sense for the Quarians to just be greatly reduced in number, sacrificing ships to buy time for others to flee through the relay. The bigger issue would be that the Geth should be destroyed entirely if a sequel is based on Destroy. The Catalyst's dialogue in the Extended Cut however provides an opening for a hand wave. He notes that anything destroyed by the Crucible can be rebuilt, and in response to a question about how the device would affect Synthetics. An easy solution would be to have the Geth rebuilt post-Destroy by the more pro-synthetic Quarians (like Koris). To have player choices still matter they could have rebuilt Geth more suspicious of outsiders and isolationist, while Geth that were never destroyed are fully integrated with the Quarians as a single faction sharing planets. All of that could be handled with codex entries and some differences in the occasional bit of dialogue. It would mean that Rannoch can't be visited, but that's not really an issue. I admire the inventiveness, but is this even worth doing? Having all the choices do the same thing is a very strange way to respect the player's choices. It depends on whether or not players want the series to return to the Milky Way. The only way ME3's choices could be fully carried over would be to have three separate games, something which isn't feasible. A Milky Way sequel would require toning down some of the effects of choices so that entire factions don't disappear. The alternative would be writing the Quarians, Geth, or Krogan entirely out of the game since they have variable fates that can't be fully accounted for in a single game, which is probably something almost no one would want. That Synthesis turns everyone into a cyborg but the others don't is problematic as well. A Milky Way sequel would either need to be based on only one of the three endings, or carry forward all three but have the post-Destroy and Control galaxies go partially synthetic on their own at some point prior to the game, or the post-Synthesis galaxy would have to revert to a natural pre-synthetic state. Of course problems like that are why this game was set in Andromeda. ME3 wasn't written with an eye towards future games.

But just the same, I don't think the new Andromeda setting is in nearly as much danger of being scorched like the Milky Way was.

Of course at the end of ME1 was anyone really worried the entire Milky Way would be made unplayable by the end of the trilogy? Kinda doubt it. :smh: Still a full-on reboot wouldn't bother me after the end of Andromeda. You figure we will be, what 2+ decades removed the start of it all (assuming MEA is 3 or more chapters)?

Synthesis..... The idea of going back and doing what they did with Tomb Raider is a possibility though. But I can't remember who said it now, but they were right - if the characters of the original trilogy weren't so damn memorable we probably wouldn't be having this discussion right now.
