Judgements like in inquisition, only instead of delivering justice you just shoot people out of the airlock. Using an escape pod without my permission? Peebye. Mentioning Battle manuals more than once a month? Away ya go. Being Liam? Cheerio.

Planets that weren't 2/3 fetch quests. Or maybe a decent Journal that actually told you useful things like what planet a task was located on, and where the task could be done. Or a map that told me which part of the objective was closest. Or maybe not having to press and hold E to interact with everything.
Yeah there's too many, I can't decide.

There are the minor details here are there, the bugs, the gameplay, the animations, the designs, etc. We get that. But what major gamechanger were you expecting that didn't happen or if you could rewrite this, what would you do differently? For me, I have probably about a dozen or so, but one thing I was really wanting to see but if I could rewrite, I would like to see us picking which pathfinder we were. Be it Asari, Krogan, Salarian, Human, Turian, whatever - and the game played based on this one choice. If other companies could do something like Skyrim, this shouldn't be that far-fetched. Dialogue shouldn't be that hard - interaction either. I know it would put a cramp in the coveted Biowar sex scenes, but oh well. Give the game some freakin' role playability. Aside from some minor open world areas, the game was very linear and not very much RPG-esque. In other words, give us choice and make it matter. Either playing as another Pathfinder, or having TWO critical path through the game - as a Pathfinder Ryder or an Exile Vidal that finds an alternative way to kick-start the Vaults from Remnant and Angaran tech after taking Sloane down with an option of a darker, more brutal protagonist. Nexus carrying a few non-council races so the cast is not restricted to the 4 races only (and that includes Tempest crew). Quarian Ark story-line in the game.

Strongly disagree on it being linear as that's one of the positives I liked about andromeda and disliked from previous ME going corridor based.
Id change it where decisions actually matter and differ from one another. I have no care at all for 3/4 of the decisions in this game and I tried a 2nd run to pick decisions different from my first, and yea, this is a bioware game isn't it? Cause I'm not seeing it.

Give Ryder the option to choose who to have on the squad
Alec lives. After Habitat 7, he isn't able to continue as Pathfinder because of his injury which looks like he suffered a broken hip. He passes the pathfinder stuff to the kid. He has cameos throughout the game listening to what his kid has done and pass any helpful tips to make things easier.
Getting aboard Archies ship. I would have included all squadmates for the mission
If I was to choose from the 3 I mentioned, it would be having Alec survive

Couldn't settle for just one thing...
As R'Shara mentioned, the journals are a mess, especially when the game tends to hi-jack you frequently with some other quest or mission. A planetary specific listing would be great - or if it has to be divided up into other categories, show the planet location.
Manual and Quick saves when the user decides. (I'd like an explanation why I have to play long game stretches without being able to manually save the game because I don't see any rationale for it.)
Integrate the inventory, loadout and development systems so I can use it or see it all conveniently from one location/menu instead of multiple locations and menus. I have an Omni Tool on my wrist - OMNI is Latin for ALL or EVERY, or did that change in Andromeda? At least let me access my email and change my weapons, armor, etc with it when not in battle.

Not sure what whether this kind of answer qualifies, but the thing I am most annoyed about is the character creator. I like to make my own characters, and even more importantly make them look good in my eyes. The character creator frustrates the hell out of me, less because of the number of options, but more so because of the preview that does not coincide with the face you end up getting in game (has something to do with the focal length of the camera used in the preview) and the range in which those options lie.

I don't play Mass Effect because its a great shooter or fun to explore. Got Doom and Skyrim for that. I play for choice and consequences during the telling of a story. In a world i have come to love as much as any other.😊

If I could change one major thing it would be their post-release support. The game was launched with a myriad of technical issues and bugs and in six weeks we've only gotten one small patch to fix a few of the really embarrassing meme inducing issues and otherwise complete radio silence.
Maybe they just don't give a frack, but with the amount of issues the game has they should be pushing out patches pretty often trying to get the game into some semblance of polished before most people just hang it up for good.

Just one? Difficult since this is the first Bioware game I actually regret buying.
But I can say I'm not buying another Bioware game that doesn't have pause, squad control and squad customization.
I don't think that will ever return to ME so I hope that DA don't strip those options out as well.

A broader spectrum of dialogue options/tones, and reworked cinematics, including a better use of the music. pretty much that, and a protagonist with more depth . But what constitutes depth and character is not easily defined. It takes a pretty solid team of writers. I understand the desire from writers to emancipate from the polarizing paragon/renegade style, but i think they should be kept in addition to some more nuanced options .

I would have the quests directly effect the settlements you put down on the particular worlds, and have the settlements expand or change over the course of the game based off what was studied, found, acquired, accomplished on said quests.
That way you could actually see the fruits of your work, and see the initiative succeeding and expanding in the Helius Cluster. All we get is a viability percentage that really means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
This also would eliminate the fetch quest feel of the game, and cause players to want to do more quests because they would be looking forward to seeing what they would do to their colonies. It also would confine more quests to one planet and eliminate a lot of the system hopping and having to sit through all the scenes.
It would also give more meaning to which pods you opened up. Science, Commerce and Military could have offered different things to the growing settlements. It would go towards replayability as well.

Hmm, well I'd definitely like to have more scene-defining music. For any complaints I might have about some of ME2's aspects, one thing about that game that I'll always truly love is its soundtrack, and how you can pinpoint the better moments or dialogue sequences where that track plays. TIM has his brooding track that pretty much makes any scene he's in in either ME2 or 3. Samara's dialogue track after defeating Morinth. The FTL jump through the Omega 4 relay. The Suicide Mission track itself. The same goes for ME3, like the electronic track that plays when the Rannoch mission kicks off, or the reprise of the main theme when the Fleets Arrive.
