I already gave a couple reasons. There's also the fact that skyscraper and mountain sized Reapers can cause more problems than solve being there.
Who says a guardian has to be right there 24/7 to be a guardian? One of the most iconic guardians Superman only shows up when needed. The rest of the time practically nobody knows where he is.
I stated specifically the Geth could be written to have had a contingency plan of having a ship or station outside the Milky Way thus outside the range of the Crucible. The Catalyst just said all synthetics in the galaxy are destroyed, so logically those outside the galaxy don't apply to his statement. Or are you saying the Crucible affected the entire universe, in which case moving to a new galaxy is a moot gesture.
Who says the augmented plants and animals even need to come up? The glowing green circuitry could fade over time then nobody is the wiser.
Every story is bound to eventually collapse in on itself. But so far you have yet to provide a single issue that can't be easily addressed. But anyway, I'm going to stop debating this. We're both just arguing our personal preferences at this point.
You're promoting lazy writing. I didn't even mention that the mere absence of the Reapers is gonna raise question by Synthesis and Control enders. You can't just....not have the Reapers in the game, and the moment players notice they're gone, questions will be raised, and the moment the game attempts to answer it in any way, it will confirm that Destroy either happened or didn't.
Homogenizing the endings will not work. Not without some serious handwaving, which is lazy writing. And I don't want to promote lazy writing.
- Homogenizing the endings in any logical way is pretty much impossible.
- Canonizing any ending will upset portions of the fanbase, and once again make Bioware go back on their word about how choices matter.
- Most fans in general voted against a prequel.
Which brings me to this:
Accept it? Well,they are the ones making the game so its really hard not to accept it as a fact. In "SO BE IT",kinda way.
They had no choice,though? This is false,they could have written Santa Claus as new protagonist and next ME game in Thedas ,if they wanted. Writers have the power and can do everything. Hell,they written Synthesis in,in a completely unscientific silly unmasseffective way.
They just did not want to deal with post ME3 Milky Way ,not because they could not but because they did not WANT to. Because of ... reasons.You can throw whatever you believe those to be - from too much work due to different settings to "writers believe reapers actually won and all is a dream" via Indoctrination Theory mayhem. Just ,please, don't try to convince people that they could not write another game in Milky Way because it is false.
So accept next game taking place in Andromeda we must,there is no choice. Agree with that setting or support it or pre order/ buy the game - it is our personal choice and each one will chose whatever he/she/it feel the best way is for them. Game can be great,despite not being in Milky Way.
This is the kinda of post that is driving me nuts on this thread. Because people want to "technically" me and say they did have a choice, when they should damn well know what I meant by "no choice". If you pour Cocoa Puffs into a bowl, open up your fridge, and you see a carton of milk, a bottle of soda, and a pitcher of lemonade, you do actually have a choice there. You can in fact pour that bottle of soda into your cereal. It doesn't mean it's the right choice, or the smart choice, or the good choice.
If you want a tasty bowl of cereal, you have one choice. Just like how if Bioware wanted to write a new game that upset as little people as possible, and created as much potential and possibilities for new storylines, they had one choice.
Unless you're not like every normal person on the planet and you like orange soda combined with Cocoa Puffs.
