Is it possible, that Reapers have been to other galaxies besides the Milky Way?
Maybe they were not all staying in one place between cycles.
Would you like there to be evidence in MEA, that though the Reapers didn't start a cycle of destruction in Andromeda, Reaper scouts have been to the galaxy? Maybe a ruined reaper ship?
I have had enough of fighting Reapers, but I would like to see signs that the Reapers explored more then just one galaxy.
Yes, I would love if the Reapers have been to Andromeda in the past. It takes care of the issue about why there isn't a Leviathan-tier race dominating the galaxy, allows the Mass Relays to still be around, and offers a way to Andromeda that doesn't break the lore or use a Deus Ex Machina.
That said, beyond the fact they've been there in the past doing their thing I wouldn't want them actually showing up.

Except there's no real reason why this should be an issue. A "Leviathan-tier" species isn't something that has to exist in any galaxy that hasn't been ransacked by the reapers. In any case, this is a bit premature. We don't know much of anything about the enemy race we'll be facing.
On the second point, I think the word "lore" gets abused a lot. There's nothing in the lore that states that technology in the MEU must remain stagnant for all time.
It is technically possible, but completely neglects the point of escaping from RGB. So no, no Reapers for you, let them rest in peace.
I would rather they focus the story on something new and leave the Reapers in the past. Giving the Reapers any sort of plot significance would be annoying and relegating their presence in the Andromeda galaxy to a few codex entries or the like would just further tarnish the trilogy.
Exactly this.

They can certainly have other reasons why they aren't there, but having been harvested works because it keeps Andromeda on the same level as us so we aren't wiped out immediately.
It depends on when we leave. If we leave before or during the Shepard Trilogy, the level of technology has been established and it is not capable of intergalactic travel thus would break the lore if we suddenly do it. If we leave after the Reaper War, then yeah anything is possible because it is the future so nothing has been established yet.
Wasn't the Reapers' mandate to preserve life in our galaxy, not in the entire universe.

I guess my big thing here is that I don't want any more guddamn reapers infesting the story in any capacity. I don't even want to hear anyone say "reapers" at all.

That wouldn't have to happen, and I agree it shouldn't. Just have all the Reapers be in the Milky Way during ME3 and they are taken care of. Plus really the only sign of their existence would be past cycles being wiped out and the Mass Relays, and most of the people in the Milky Way galaxy don't know that relates to Reapers.
It's always possible, but I'd rather they don't distance the Andromeda Galaxy from the Reapers

"But sir what about the Re----"
"SHUT UP!!!"
I have always found this to be an extremely weak argument. In the mass effect universe, intelligent life is SO commonplace that a handful of species reach spacefaring level every 50,000 years or so. Even if it was so rare that only one species reached that level every one million years, and even if MOST of those species somehow caused their own extinction - it is an enormous stretch to think the all would, and it only takes one. By all rational accounts about what we know of life in Mass Effect, Andromeda would have been completely dominated by an uber-species several times over by now. Consider the sheer timescales and number of worlds involved.Except there's no real reason why this should be an issue.

I really hope I don't see any reapers at all in this game. I'm tired of reapers.
Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away. The Reapers return every 50,000 years. Unless wormholes, they'd be stuck in dark space.
Harbinger: We attack the Andromeda galaxy!!! (25,000 years later) We attack the Milky Way!!
I'd like to think the Reapers are Milky Way exclusive. Where as Andromeda may have something just as dangerous, perhaps even Dwarfs a Reaper. Andromeda Alien: Reapers!? HAHAHAHAHAA... HAHAHAH HA HA HAAA. *Wipes tear away* Ahh... No seriously, we got Devils (or whatever badass name)
Is it possible, that Reapers have been to other galaxies besides the Milky Way?
Maybe they were not all staying in one place between cycles.
Would you like there to be evidence in MEA, that though the Reapers didn't start a cycle of destruction in Andromeda, Reaper scouts have been to the galaxy? Maybe a ruined reaper ship?

Theoretically possible, yes. We don't know what fuel or discharge requirements they have, but they are effectively immortal and certainly don't have the same needs that the ships organics use have.
Reapers in Andromeda would also certainly explain why we aren't dealing with Leviathanesque apex-level organics in Andromeda (since there were no cycles of destruction periodically wiping everyone out) or why there are no super-advanced synthetics exterminating organic life (because of the "inevitable" conflict nonsense the Catalyst was spewing)
Plus unless ship engines take a quantum leap technology-wise, inter-system travel is rather problematic without mass relays. Can't go more than a couple days out without risking ship and crew. It's possible other species could build a network, but we know the Reapers could.
Of course, by now people are sick of the Reapers, the endings are so radioactive we have to flee the galaxy to get away from them. So I doubt we'll find Reapers or signs of them in Andromeda.

What about the.... Reavers?
Wasn't the Reapers' mandate to preserve life in our galaxy, not in the entire universe.
No it wasn't, their mandate was to preserve all life it didn't specify a particular galaxy so I'd be in their interest to expand their mandate to other galaxies.
It doesn't mean that for story purposes that they should. If I find out they did I won't buy the game.
In that order, if you're very, very lucky.
What about the.... Reavers?
They sound almost like Batarians... Looks like a job for my alt ruthless, Batarian racist, colonist Shep--- Oh... Right.
Seriously though, what movie are these Reavers from? They sound sick (90.5 actual sick, 9.5 badass)

Reapers can get to Andromeda in less than 238 years. If we solve the discharge problem, we can get there in less than 580 years. They could get to Andromeda, harvest it, and get back to the Milky Way in less than a millennium.

They are from the TV series Firefly and the movie Serenity.
