Ruins and remnants from the people of the milkyway that expanded throughout the universe leaving legacies of their civilisation on countless Galaxies Before ascending to the next level...

All the while you and your colonists were frozen in Cryostasis slowly moving towards Andromeda and arriving 100 000 years after the Reaper war. You started Before the end of the Reaper war.

You eventualy find out that the people of the Milkyway defeated the Reaper threat and that the Remnant is actualy the remnants left by the civilisation you once belonged to.

For 50 000+ years they had advanced technologicaly using new ideas from the reaper Tech and cooperation, perhaps even the Destiny hinted at by EDI in regards to Synthesis.

Then almost 50 000 years Before your arrival to Andromeda they vanished, ascending beyond their corporeal selves.

Your conection and understanding of this Culture makes it easier for you to explore and exploit thse Technologies and data caches and tefchnology than it was for the natives of this galaxy.

However, the Keth have learned thigns about the Remnants over thousands of years and your arrival has provided them with the rosettastone to translate parts of their discoveries that they had been unable to decipher Before.

Now a race is on to uncover the history and technology of your people, but the Keth want it and Thinks it belongs to them since it's in their space, no matter where the Remnant might have come from originaly. (also, the Keth don't want to fall behind against anyone else that could potentially conquer them)

That would be quite the twist of events, something that wouldn't be obvious or certain to begin with, but your scientists are curious as to the similarities in the language. Even if it would be 50 000years removed from your own, it wouldn't seem completely alien. Eventualy you gather enough intel to figure it out. This would strengthen your resolve and claim to the remains, which only makes things even more sensitive and on edge with the natives.

It's in Andromeda, it's far into the future, and your still got N7 people because they were put in Cryo at the beginning of the Reaper war or just Before it broke out. And you have no idea what happend, but clues are out there.

What do you think? Possible? There should be some kind of twist to the story, and tough choices.

How about no?

 

Not everything has to be connected to our cycle.

[Ghostknob]

It would cool if they were one of the legacy races like the inusannon or something. It would be cool to see what some of the older codex only races looked like.

[DaemionMoadrin]

Yeah, it would be so awesome to be the very first person from the Milky Way to come to Andromeda, using ground-breaking, cutting-edge technology, the culmination of decades of research and development, with the help of the best the galaxy has to offer... only to realize that you aren't the first because some ancient species already did it half a million years ago.

 

Yay.

[Vortex13]

Same here.

 

 

Also, please don't let the big reveal be that the Remnant are the constructs of ancient, highly advanced humans.

You are repeating yourself. I already responded to your post, how about you respond to that instead of just posting the same again?

[DarthSliver]

It would be cool to find out the Milky Way has been polluting the Andromeda Galaxy with its races because of the Reaper threat we ended in ME3. 

[Quarian Master Race]

Same here.

Well......Halo 4 lead writer

1. It wouldn't take that long to get to Andromeda

2. Everything you said just doesn't make sense, sorry.

[Kabooooom]

Meh. Honestly, every accomplishment in tech humanity has ever or will ever make has probably already been done by some species somewhere.

I hate anthropocentrism for that reason. We aren't special. We are just a great ape that is a bit smarter than the others.

So I would hope Andromedan natives will have surpassed us, especially if the Reapers never visited. For the same reason, I hope the OPs twist isn't true. Interesting as it is...but still. I wouldn't mind an ancient MW race surpassing us either.

[Vortex13]

Well......Halo 4 lead writer

 

 

Don't remind me 

 

 

I had already lost a good portion of my enthusiasm for the series after Halo 3; to me the Arbiter and the Covenant were infinitely more interesting than the Master Chief and humanity, I mean the whole evil aliens are trying to kill us could only carry the series so far. It was really annoying that all of the potential story we had with the Covenant Civil War and the client races that sided with humanity was discarded in favor of more Master Chief and Cortana, but I had hoped that Halo 4 would shine more light on aspects of the setting that didn't intrinsically revolve around humanity. Boy how wrong I was there.

 

 

At least the Covenant had a plausible reason for wanting to kill us, the Didect was bad because he was jealous of humanity for being so totally awesome and better than the Forerunners.

[MrFob]

Hehe, just listen to the sound in the trailer when the Remanent tower rises from the ground. Sound an awful lot like a reaper sound to me. Connection or just sound recycling?

[SolNebula]

I just don't want the entire humans are so special all over again. It was overused a heck lot of time. Try be innovative BW.

[Killroy]

Well......Halo 4 lead writer

 

Remember when Tony Stark had to fight that Predator in Iron Man 3? No? Oh, that's right. Writers don't just write the same thing over and over.

True, but a lead writer that helped make a human centric setting even more so now working with a company known for making human centric titles…..

This doesn't bode well for us. Well we can hope.

Yeah, no.

 

Why would an ancient MW species be any more advanced than you? They all only got 50.000 years, just as you did. There's a legitimate possibility that you are indeed the first. Also, only because the protagonist is human doesn't mean the entire expedition is. It's far more likely that it's a Salarian/Asari project.

[Nitrocuban]

Yeah, well .. we still don't know what happened to these Prothean scientists that used the conduit to get on the Citadel and reprogammed the Keepers, so ...

[Quarian Master Race]

Because that's what my literally 5 word long declarative post was attempting to imply should be the norm.

In fact, considering the writing of that particular series up Halo 4, downplaying the humans are speshul trope would've actually be the opposite of writing "the same thing over and over". Instead, they simply emphasized it more, so I don't know what point you are trying to make here.

There is also the "Horned Krogan"..... Krogans havn't got horns in the ME Trilogy.... Future development?

Maybe they got nuked to the stoneage again and/or genophaged.... Then after a hundred thousand years they have developed a horn, but didn't share the fate of the other Remnants.... They got left behind maybe.

Also, the game description hinted at earlier said, "Find a new home for Humanity"..... Maybe those Krogans were already there? They don't seem to be the most prioritised species for the council in a council financed evacuation of the Milkyway.

Also, the journey could have taken a lot of time due to technical difficulties or due to extremely slow Eezo core discharges out in between the Galaxies and their absolute vacum, relying soley on radiating the charge.

BW can make up reason if they want to. Just throwing in a random ancient species to play archeologist on, seems too simplistic and forced. I guess they could, but what's the fun with that? You need a twist!

The bit about the horned Krogans troubled me... But I've been trying to ignore it... Krogans havn't got horns though... Right?

ASSUMING CONTROL OF THIS THREAD

 

WE ARE THE HARBINGERS OF YOUR ANDROMEDA. I KNOW THIS HURTS YOU.

 

Ok. Seriously as much as I enjoyed the Shep trilogy I'd really like some fresh ideas in this new setting. Just my 2 cents.

 

RELEASING CONTROL

[Kabooooom]

Yeah, no.

Why would an ancient MW species be any more advanced than you? They all only got 50.000 years, just as you did. There's a legitimate possibility that you are indeed the first. Also, only because the protagonist is human doesn't mean the entire expedition is. It's far more likely that it's a Salarian/Asari project.

First off, the 50,000 years cycle thing is an average. You think that EVERY cycle reaches the same harvest-worthy tech level at fifty thousand years? No. Some take longer, some shorter, which is why Sovereign was necessary. Furthermore, the listed dates for some of the pre-Prothean era civilizations show that this was not the case.

Secondly, you completely overlooked the obvious reason WHY a species would be that advanced:

That they evaded the harvest, somehow.

Which is, guess what, the SAME thing that the Ark colonists probably did - which at this point I think is the pretty obvious shoe in for the plot of MEA, regardless of if it isn't confirmed yet. It's obvious.

So, you have a MW species that makes it to Andromeda and therefore surpasses every subsequent MW species in technological achievement. That basic concept is not problematic at all. It wouldn't be anthropocentric...but it would be "Milky Way centric". Which, like I mentioned, I wouldn't like. It makes more sense for an Andromedan species to be the Remnant, especially if there was no harvest there. Otherwise you have two separate MW civilizations building an ark ship to Andromeda? Probably dumb.

You might be disappointed since the main character is human.

 

BW space opera game = Humanity First! (but feel free to crossbread with aliens if you so choose)
