It's not the Citadel, they said in N7 Day stream that they want to make some new locations in new setting feel familiar and Mass Effect-ish. Most speculated that this is the Ark

[LPPrince]

Wouldn't make sense for the Citadel to be in Andromeda anyway.

 

People gotta LET GO.

I had too!!

If it suddenly appeared, swept a ship or ships away, and dumped them in Andromeda, Gilligan's Island style, yes.

 

If stabilizing wormholes started being studied as a form of dark matter research, maybe not.

 

Try being more polite.  You may find you like it.

 

Ok, so here is an idea I just had (feel free to criticize)

 

So, I'll pick up on the idea Drew Karpyshyn had for the ending of ME3. The fact that continued use of biotics and/or FTL travel with element zero seems to cause an increase in the amount of anomalies in the space time continuum, most likely by affecting dark energy.

 

Since our cycle has gone on for much longer than anticipated (thanks to the actions of some very selfless Prothean scientists), there is now much more anomalies and disturbances in the space time continuum than there has ever been in the galaxy. The amount of these anomalies gets to the point where some people start noticing and begin to investigate.

 

A private corporation or science group decides to act on these anomalies and begins to examine them, curious to discover their origin and to do scientific research into interstellar sciences.

 

Then, with the Reaper invasion, the amount of ripples in the space time continuum reaches a critical point. With all the fighting, use of biotics and increased space travel (refugees and military), the researchers realize that something may become of these anomalies, and they are correct. After setting up post in the Haestrom system, a place that is very sensitive to dark energy as evidenced by Haestrom's rapidly aging sun, they see it. A coalescence, an agglomeration of  all the disturbances they've been seeing over all their past research: a wormhole

 

The scientists are stunned. They begin accelerating their efforts to study this black hole and examine it. Thankfully, the Dholen system contains no habitable worlds and is thus a low priority of the Reapers, giving the researchers time to continue their studies. By the time Shepard cures the genophage, the science group manages to send their first probe across the wormhole to a new location. They have limited data to go on and lack the time to do more full scale tests, but they know the wormhole is operational, though they have no way of confirming its stability.

 

After their successful test, the scientists decide to use their new found discovery for a very important task: the preservation of life in the Milky Way. They contact the Council, and they manage to assemble an ark containing a healthy number of ships, species, supplies, etc. Don't ask me how they kept it a secret. In my mind, if they can keep something like the Crucible hidden for all of ME3, I think they can manage this. They decide to limit the amount of people who know about ARKCON, especially Shepard. Despite his fortitude, they did not want to make the depressing state of their fight even more so by telling Shepard ''Yeah, we trust a random wormhole that may or may not be stable more than your Crucible''.

 

The ark mission was given a title of ARKCON, or Ark Contingency. It was always meant as a last resort. They did not want to risk sending lives across a potentially unstable wormhole upon which that they have no idea or control over the destination. They hoped that the timely completion of the Crucible would prevent such a sacrifice would be necessary.

 

However, the fall of Thessia complicated things. With things becoming dire across the galaxy, resources dwindling and the Crucible still incomplete, the Council had to approve ARKCON. After the Asari Councilor's conversation with Shepard in which she stated ''There are preparations to make, continuity of civilization to consider'', ARKCON went through the wormhole into the great unknown.

 

And thus began Mass Effect: Andromeda

Can we pick custom painting for Mako? I wanna color-coordinate it with my armor...

Not sure if this was answered but yes, rumours point to customisation of the Mako including swappable parts and the color scheme.

The same might even be true for our ship, which is called "Tempest" and *might* be flyable in-game.

[LPPrince]

All the semi-confirmed rumors

That would provide a half decent back story, but at the end of the day, it still looks like a copout to avoid dealing with the ending. What would put most of the backlash to rest is an assurance that we will get revisit the Milkyway and see what happened post Reaper War at some point. Doesn't have to be in this game. The people who want to completely avoid the ending can have this and any sequels from it, and everyone else can enjoy future titles occurring the original setting.

Sure! You know, Milky Way and Andromeda will really eventually collide in millions of years, so just wait for ME:3K and you'll know everything!!

Whoops! I have to reset the alarm...

 

EDIT: The game name is already set "Mass Effect Milkdromeda"!

Speaking of which, we never get any suiting cross-promo armors in ME. It was always from fantasy Dragon Age or Kingdoms of Amalur. Why can't we get trooper armors from TOR? Or Dead Space (ooops... DS series is dead )

[CronoDragoon]

It's SCIENCE-fiction.  

 

So were Jack Vance novels like Tales of the Dying Earth, where "wizards" walked the Earth and casted spells that were nevertheless based on complex understanding of physics (that were never explained). Science fiction has a wiiiiide application.

 

Personally, I'm coming around to the idea that BioWare shouldn't even bother to give an explanation for the move. Just set it far enough in the future that you have multiple myths flying around about how the races settled in Andromeda, none of them confirmed true. That would be a very Mass Effect and Dragon Age way to handle the problem.

ME2 has an Isaac armor.

Anyone watching the reactions?

Ras Jahbu's reaction was my favorite lol.

@chris2365

 

First, thank you for at least taking my concerns seriously.

 

Since this is the Twitter thread, though, I'm going to create a fresh thread so we can address this more thoroughly, if you don't mind.  

[shepskisaac]

ME2 has an Isaac armor.

Unfortunately, that was DA2 We never got DS or TOR armors in ME

[CronoDragoon]

Ah, you're right. That was weird.

[shepskisaac]

Ah, you're right. That was weird.

DS3 got Shep's N7 styled armor but not the other way around. Battlefront is coming this year so maybe? If too early then I'm sure TOR will have another expansion during Holidays 2016 so it would be nice.

They'll probably just do another panel and vaguely hint about things again.
