If it's a new galaxy, it's a new galaxy. Let the game have an identity of its own. I don't want to be in the middle of the game and hear Hey Cap'n, there are some strange noises in the cargo hold! We should investigate! We go look and suddenly oh look! It's Garrus!
What's the point of going to Andromeda if we are looking at anything from past games?
EA will charge $1.99 per use. It'll happen.
If its like Liara's time capsule then you'd technically get only ME1/2 and some of 3's events since the Reaper War is still going on when she brings the idea up with you... and doesn't cover the ending so it could still incorporate some choices but not all...?
For this game Nay but the game after Yay.
My question for your response is would you rather have the program they create automatically remember the choices you make or would you rather get stuck manually entering them? My thinking is if they make it for Andromeda all it needs to do is remember the choices we make this time and then be used as an import tool next time.
Summing up my thoughts on this again;
For the endings: No, don't care, doesn't matter.
For major decisions such as genophage cure and who survived Rannoch: Yes, there should be a way to import these decisions as they could impact which races do and don't show up. If nothing else, if the leak is to be believed we're going to have a krogan on our crew, so the genophage being cured or not would have a huge impact on his outlook.
I think there is to much focus on the arc "theory". What is if they find some kind of ancient portal in the milkyway galaxy what bring them to the andromenda galaxy? ... or somethin else... What if they can still communicat with the home galaxy via quanten technology? There are to much oppurtunities in a SiFi setting to solve this kind of problems.
The keep was a solution to prevent DA:I from errors at the savegame import.
I mean, shepards influence on the milkyway galaxy is even befor ME3 to strong to be absolutely forgotten. And that bioware should find some way to import previous decisions.
PS. yes i now my english is bad, it's not my first language.
I expect some version of Mass Effect 'Keep' for Andromedea going forward.
I don't expect anything for the original ME trilogy.
Nay

That would be hilarious though.
Anyway, I am all for it a keep. If were going to do world building, might as well keep it up.

Well, I'd love to see that
Though Garrus would be calibrating stuff ![]()
I'll just hate BioWare if they create a "keep" and didn't call it the "Citadel Archive".
Could be that they call it The ARKive. ![]()

Well I think they should keep both options available. An automatic option for those that played the ME:A but also a manual option for people that might jump into the franchise from the second game (after Andromeda). Giving a manual option is in any case a good choice if for some reason the automatic function has issues or people simply prefer to do it personally. I sure would do it manually in any case. I
might be a traditionalist guy but seems always to prefer the manual option...feels more reliable.

I have no problem with that and infact that is the method I prefer, but if they create something like the Keep post Mass Effect: Andromeda my concern is that it would be a manual input only since from everything I have read indicates that both Sony and Microsoft would be a hurdle. I read in an interview they were asking about uploading a save from older Dragon Age games into the Keep and it was said that they are not allowed to modify a player's save outside of a game so that would kill any kind of upload import.
Lol she stole my idea.
In Topic: Can Bioware still use ME3 endings in Andromeda?
19 June 2015 - 04:52 AM
They'll have to adres it. You can't expect this game to completely ignore a cataclysmic event that nearly destroyed the universe as we know it in its entirety. What, in my humble opinion, you can expect is a dragon age keep like module which adresses all general endings and makes vague references to these in the codex and throughout the game. For example, crewmembers 3/4/7/9 survived and were declared heroes and it took us 25/50/250 years to rebuild.
Just don't expect that these past endings/decisions will influence the game itself because it would most likely we set after the universe has completely recovered. Personally, I found the dragon age keep a really elegant of make the transition between games. The downside is probably that not all details (conrade verner,etc.) will be included.
Alternatively, they still use a dragon age keep like module and have ME:A start as following:
Control: We fled, or were send by, our overlord
Synthesis: We want to promote cooperation between robots and organics in Andromeda
Destroy: We've advanced enough to jump to Andromeda and explore it
4th ending: We fled like hell, fell into a wormhole and ended up here - however, given the fact that the universe still exists they can ignore this ending
However, to me this sounds really complicated.
Penny for your thoughts?
So yes, nice idea but its been raised before you bleedin 'Post' stealer ![]()
They should make the previous games relevant. There will be people who will play Andromeda who have never played the prevous games before. Finding out that they are irrelevant and have no impact may stop them from buying the trilogy and playing them. It would be better from a sales point of view for bioware to make the games fit in some how with the new Andromeda game.
The keep is a great idea. It doesnt need to drasticaly change the game. but it would stop people feeling that emptyness they had after finishing ME3, and give the illusion that their choices ultimately mattered... even in a small small way. They may end up remastering the trilogy in the future for current gen consoles... and if so have a feeling of continuity to it all would only be a good thing...
ME1-3 to ME:A = no.
ME:A to ME:A2 (or if ME:A links us back to the Milky Way) then yes.
I would be really disappointed if my ME 1-3 decisions would't have any effect in ME:A. That would create a positive emotional connection to the good time I had playing ME 1-3.
EA will charge $1.99 per use. It'll happen.
There will be people who will pay it. I wouldn't/
Knowing how Bioware dealt with choices; non-plot related changes, understudies, and general background (news and codex) and dialog changes, I'm fine with they doing a Keep.
I mean they are already running away to another galaxy anyways so why not.
