Well we pretty much already know we are getting Quarians. It wouldn't surprise me if somehow Geth are some how involved with whatever is going on with the Quarain ark because whenever there are Quarians having problems geth are involved and the geth would be a pretty cool addition to Helius. Would love to see Batarians but considering what the political situation was in the Milky Way when the initiative launched I find it unlikely.

Quarian Ark DLC is pretty much sure to happen after that small cutscene after the final mission.

This series is going to be a bloated mess once that delayed Ark ship arrives.
I voted Batarians. it would make no sense but I love Batarians.
I never want to see Geth again. Like the Genophage issue being reopened I feel even more with the Geth that re-adding them completely undermines the Rannoch outcome of ME3. Killing the Geth off in that game will just make you go "Oh, but there are thousands of Geth in Andromeda so not all is lost!". For some reason I don't feel the same about the Quarians except that adding them to Andromeda is going to divert even more focus away from what is supposed to make THIS franchise spinoff unique and memorable unless they find some way to make the Quarian Ark story more interesting than "They're living in exo-suits in a liveship but can't live outside of it".
I think the appeal of bringing the Milky Way species over to Andromeda is the potential to continue the canon of Mass Effect where it previously couldn't due to ME3 over the stupid endings and otherwise the potential lies in the Angara, Kett and the newfound politics of the arks as well as Ryder's personal story. This IMO also implies that the most interesting thing they can do with Quarians is to finally reveal what they look like without helmets. I'm not expecting it to happen in this game but if they get here in a DLC they better get around to showing us that in Andromeda 2 or it's starting to become laughable.

I didn't vote in the poll because most of all I want to see new places, new races, weird and new things in Andromeda.
If the first DLC is all about the quarian Ark, that's fine but I think the main game played things safe enough as it is. Time for some daring, for some variety. This game seriously needs more landing zones, more crazy planets and ares. Remember how everyone complained about ME1's repetitive interiors during the side quests and how the planets were just random terrain maps? Well, all true but almost everyone who criticized those also mentioned that the one saving grace of those side quests were the beautiful vistas and various color pallets we got on the planets. In ME2, the N7 missions were mostly just as small and non-committal as ME:As side content but no one complained because with every mission, we got to see a new area, a new planet, space station or ship. It really added to the sense of diversity and discovery in the ME universe.
Andromeda with its current 5-6 planets could certainly use a bit of that variety and sense of actual space exploration where we find places we can actually go to instead of just scanning them from orbit.

I rather see new Andromda aliens.
We are already getting Quarians, Volus, Elcor and Haenar according to the messege me get at the ending. It's time to move on, what's the point of exploring the new galaxy if people keep ask old species back?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the next ark we save will have some or a lot of indoctrinated folks. As for the poll I voted Geth but really I only want the Legion platform and I know that won't be happening. Or give me my Batarian squad mate already that I have wanted since ME2!!

Wait, didn't the last couple of DLC companions from Bioware cause a huge sh*tstorm? I didn't even realize this was supposed to be about squad mates. I wouldn't worry about that though. I very much doubt we'll see a squad mate DLC. There is a reason all of BW's previous squad mate DLCs were either day-one or shortly after release. Essentially, they always had to incorporate the squad mate into the main game already before release. The new guy needs to be incorporated into the scripting for every level and quest already, there is no feasible way to do this retrospectively. The only thing in the DLCs were their recruitment missions and some additional files for the general visuals and combat scripting. Hence the outcry about Zaeed/Kasumi/Javik, etc. already being in the game files, that was pretty stupid, everyone tech-savy enough to open the game files and find them should have expected this already. Anyway, unless they super secretly planned out some squad mate already that no one knows about, the chance that we'll get one in a DLC now are pretty much non-existent, fortunately.

When would the DLC take place? I haven't finished the game, but I think I've been spoiled enough to see that the arks with the rest of the Milky Way species haven't arrived by the end of the game, and I'm assuming you find the Salarian/Turian/Asari arks through the story game? If we are talking about the next game, if I had to select two it would be Drell and Quarian. The Quarians have always been interesting and the Drell we don't know enough about. I think both species are friendly enough with the core galactic races to make good additions to the Andromeda Initiative outside of being isolated to the Migrant Fleet. The reason I say the next game is that I really wouldn't want a DLC based around finding an ark for the Milky Way species arriving... it would just feel like that should have been in the base game. Either have them arrive early in the next game, or jump a few years ahead to have them having already arrived.
However, I would much rather meet some new non-hostile species in Andromeda other than the Angara, and get new squadmates and worlds with alien races we have never met before. I think that's the best way to branch out in this story in a new galaxy rather than a continued focus on races we already know about and interacted with in the prior trilogy from the galaxy we left.

I think that's the best way to branch out in this story in a new galaxy rather than a continued focus on races we already know about and interacted with in the prior trilogy from the galaxy we left. Well, do finish the game, it will make more sense after that. But I think you can already read in the codex that: Very conveniently, the quarians built an Ark of their own (yes, they did despite the fact that the flotilla was always struggling to even keep itself intact and that a ship with an ODSY dirve at the time of ME2 would have been an absolute blessing for them to search for a new world to colonize outside of the relay clusters but whatever, they had nothing better to do with it then sending it to another galaxy, I'm sure Han'Gerrel is still facepalming back in the MW). Not only did they do that, out of the goodness of their heart, the quarians - the most struggling species in the Milky Way - also did what none of the council races did and shared their ark with drell, elcor, hanar, etc., just so that the devs had an excuse to get all the ME species into the new galaxy eventually if they wanted without having to put them into the game right away. The codex also tells us, that the quarian Ark was almost finished and scheduled to leave just little bit later then the others. So I guess we can all deduct what would happen from there.
Oh the nostalgia about the times when the codex was a little bit more than just a thin veil of BS to legitimize convenient design decisions.

Quarian Ark seems like a promising plotline.
Also give me the stetson that this Texan shopkeeper on Havarl wears. My Ryder is the biggest badass in the Initiative, yet does not posses the best hat. This cannot continue.

I feel that the genophage issue was kinda solved as quickly as it was mentioned here, since there's no reaper wars and such and the colony seems reasonably stable, not to mention the post-campaign scene with Kesh and Drack.

The quarians and the geth for a full fledged game not a just DLC (because you know they might be the benefactor for the Andromeda Initiative maybe not Garson's killer though) it would make the story better. Oh that would be awesome. They did it to preserve life or something?

When Javik was cut they had to write around that and make the catalyst something else. Hence Star Child.

I want to say batarians because they ought to have been a squaddie for MET (especially for a Colonist Shepard) but I don't know how they'd really fit here. Went quarian because, let's be honest, it's going to happen. It's their ark so how could they not show? Not a pathfinder, though, because I think each of them should have their own team. This would just be some random quarian who finds Ryder irresistible.

After Shep blew up their home system didn't the Reapers more or less wipe out what was left of the Batarians? Do they even have enough folks to send to Andromeda? Doesn't matter I voted for the big stupid jellyfish. As long as it's Blasto. Unfortunately, we know Blasto was still on the Citadel in ME3. Well, I guess if you don't have the Citadel DLC, or even From Ashes, your canon universe wouldn't have Blasto there.

The fact his dialogue is ample and fits the current story says you're wrong. The information I've seen says He was originally more like the Prothesn VI by no mention of him as the catalyst. This was all early script ideas before they knew where they were headed. Javik is very key to the plot as you'll see if you take him on missions.
