Seeing as how witcher 3 made certain choices canon and was praised by both players and critics, Bioware can easily pull off something similar.
If you are content from the polished turd of an Extended Cut ending then fine but that thing is filled numerous retcons and much worse when they canonize an ending. It will be filled with retcons and more contrivances that it has since ME1.

TW2 had an awesome and well-executed story and TW3 just picked one of the multiple excellent story paths. ME3 had an abominable ending - picking the least terrible one isn't really a winning proposition.

Except that would not be the case if canon ending is picked and effort was put into making it work. The galaxy developing the means to travel to other galaxies in the span of a few months when their current technology level renders it impossible to do so on the other hand is contrived.

Actually picking canon is much better than moving to another galaxy since the latter renders saving the galaxy pointless.

Contrived my ass, everything related to mass effect is contrived. Picking a canon is like choosing 4 different turds that came from the writers' ass.

No its not, eezo, biotics and mass relay's operate within the limitations set by the lore they're not contrived. Lazarus project, synthesis and Cerberus having as many ships as the alliance are contrived because they have no build up and break suspension of disbelief its why people called Bioware out on those things.

SO you prefer playing a turd then?

I'd prefer Bioware to learn from their mistakes and deal with them instead of running away from them and eventually end up making the same ones again. The fact they setting the game in another galaxy shows they've learned nothing from the mistakes they've made in the trilogy.

AH OKAY. You prefer a turd.

Nope your 100% wrong, If the Witcher 3 is able to ignore player choice and still praised by the fans. Then its not far fetched for Bioware to pull off something similar if they put some thought and effort into it. CDPR seem to be the type of dev's who learn from their mistakes instead of running away from them which is Bioware is doing with ME:A.

Everything that came from the ending is a turd. Nothing more. If you can play that thing then be my guess.

Except it isn't, with plenty of thought and effort it something that can be salvageable.

Do you seriously compare choice between sides in civil war with ME3's setting breaking decision? Or maybe in TW2 you could make Geralt a god or turn everyone into witchers? Because I missed that part.

Bioware have already made certain choices canon i.e. Udina being the councilor so its not out of the question for Bioware to do it again.

He's a broken record.

The same thing can be said about you.

What if Wrex was killed and Ashley was left for dead on Virmire and destroy was made canon, do you want that?

LOL, pot meets kettle.

Having 2-3 choices made canon is preferable to having all choice made pointless (which is what ME:A is doing). No point in saving the galaxy if its going to be ditched forever may as well let the reapers win.
So here Shin's little Alphabet To-Do-List:
A) Exploring interesting planets full of unknown creatures & plants
B ) Exploring an underwater station where you can look outside and see damn nice sea creatures & other ocean stuff (maybe finding Nemo as sidequest 
). Maybe with the possibility to use this station as a homebase or ressource point
C) Use nice & cool animated combat/skill moves (they can be a bit over the top - but they must look awesome)
D) Tell my squad what they should do in combat (control over skills, positions etc) (no FF13 please)
E) I want to experience good developed optional romances with my female pathfinder
F) I want to follow an exciting, well developed and comprehensible (?) storyline with a variety of well thought out endings (and without the colors red, green & blue. And no screenshots, please)
G) I want to create a nice looking character with a well developed cc & different voice possibilities (like in Saints Row).I mean no bald hair in 20 variations, better sliders für eyes/noses/lips etc, more creativity and variety for short hair, braided hair, hair with shoulder legth, better beards. I really hope they don't import the DA:I - cc to ME:A and that's it. Please take your time BW and polish the cc, break the limits, be creative).And i hope there will be a save-function or a facecodesystem for the characterdesign.
H) I want to have different mounts for the different planets (not just the mako - although the mako is very cool)
I) I don't want to grind hours of hours for a few ressources - i want to build farms and mines (for example decks on the ships or in the different colonies) that send a proportion/part (?) on my ship or to my main base for upgrades or armour crafting (maybe timed, i have to think over that part)
J) I want to craft or buy and individualise the armor and non-combat-outfit of my character
K) I want to meet new alien races, learn about their cultures and individual backgrounds and help them with their problems/conflicts
L) I want to see more children in the game (i missed them in all the ME-Games)
M) I want to see more elders in the game
N) I want to have dialogs with funny moments - yeah let there be more humour 
O) I want to have dialog, where i can express insecurities, worries, fears- just can be weak - with someone - let the pathfinder be more human, more emotional or sensitive, no emo btw, but overall more human
P) I want to have a few well developed, thought out backgrounds for the pathfinder (different possibilities to choose from) which matter in the story progress and affect how npcs talk with my character or how they think about my pathfinder (for re-playing)
Q) I want to use familiar weapons and armors - and new ones
R) I want to see a cliffhanger in the ending for upcoming ME-A-Games (i really liked the one from DA:I)
S) I want a ship, that doesn't look like the Normandy and can be furnished, upgraded and individualized
T) I want to be a more civilian pathfinder, not the big bad military badass - that was Shepards' part, i want to be different with my pathfinder because a new start means a new start
U) I want to choose between reworked/overworked classes (let them be named like the old ones, but with more skill or stat possibilities/variety)
V) I want to see more emotional gestures/body animations/ face animations in dialogs (yeah, let them be really surprised with wide open eyes, higher eyebrows, open mouth etc. or really angry/sad/happy, frightened etc. for immersion - and yes, don't let the females sit with open legs if they wearing a skirt or something like that).
W) I want to have a pet with a personality like R2D2 or C3PO (could be a little dino, a minielcor, a volus, some bird like creature, a slime(hanarlike), a drone, a miniturian/miniquarian- whatever), who follows me everywhere or can do missions to find ressources or just get on my nerves
X) I want to use a storage for old armours/weapons or for treasures/relics that i found on planets (maybe a gallery in my cabine on the ship)
Y) I want to try out a multiplayer mode - but it has to be optional and mustn't effect the game ending/outcome of the main story
Z) I want to have an implemented photo journal as storage for my screenshots ( to share my story progress with other players/the community) like the one in DA:O
Ä) Jump or fly high (from or to high plattforms/cliffs/ruins, in combat etc
Ö) I want to swim/dive
Ü) I want to crouch/crawl again
So, have a nice day
<<<<<<<<<<()>>>>>>>>>>
How about a bloody PAUSE button?
Followed by the ability to check my portable database on the enemy I'm fighting to figure out it's weakness.
How about avoiding the need to HUMP rocks off the beaten path when exploring (I'm looking at you DAI).
How about querying my OMNITOOL's AI for the best approach to defeat my enemy during combat? Example: best Biotic Power Sequence for a combo or best Power to sap a shield...etc.
How about a proper tactical AI to control my squad? An AI that knows what to do when faced with any enemy.
How about calling for an orbital strike against an entrenched enemy to soften them up?
How about walking into a Casino and play some games?
How about a brothel in case I need to relax (I'm looking at you DA2)?
How about a Biotic able to use a sniper or assault weapon with limited weight penalties?
How about naming my unlimited number of saved files?
How about importing my face from a previous saved game when playing another playthrough?
How about AI agents that can scout for enemy presence in known sectors of space or sectors contolled by hostiles.
How about being able to set goals for resources or obtain intelligence data from hostiles and let AI agents then do their thing? Then come back with info on treasure cashes or resource spots.
How about the ability to change the colour of our outfits?
How about using the CC to give us better hair than in DAI?
How about the CC being able to modify our protagonist's body? example: taller, shorter, skinnier, thicker, bigger boobies, no boobies.....
How about being able to MOD the game?
How about NOT forcing us to play MP for better gear?
I have more, but I need another cup of coffee.....

Should have read your list before making mine. Good job!
I made an account just so I could reply to this.
I want a gay turian love interest.
And a hanar love interest.
I was so sad when I couldn't romance Garrus as a male Shepard. :c
