If they left after the ME3 endings, a save import is crucial IMO and not having it would seriously hurt the franchise.
Um, what? If they did, the whole move to Andromeda would be totally unnecessary.
I mean, come on.
Why would they move the entire franchise to a whole new galaxy, if not to avoid having to deal with the previous games/endings?

Agreed. As I wrote (here and many times before), my guess is that they will leave during the reaper war, it makes the most sense to me.
Just wanted to cover all possibilities and IIRC, there was some rumor going around a few weeks ago that the arc would leave decades after the trilogy or something. Not that I'd believe it but you never know.

If Bioware wanted to take into account your previous saves, they wouldn't be leaving the Milky Way and pretending the trilogy never happened. Which btw is correct, because everything after ME1 Eden Prime is not real due to indoctrination.
Fleeing to another galaxy because Shepard reaper goes power mad is dealing with.
Only if you picked control or synthesis. =)
I think a Keep version of events would be necessary if they intend to reference back to any of the original trilogy in any way. Even if the original story has zero impact on the development of the new story except for some referential dialogue, if the two stories take place in any kind of close chronological proximity, there has to be some kind of way of establishing what the past of the new story is in terms of major galactic events.

Shepard doesn't control the Reapers in the Synthesis ending.

Shepard doesn't control the Reapers in the Synthesis ending.
Shepard doesn't control the Reapers in the COntrol ending either.
Shepard is that charred lump of meat by the control rods. The AI that's controlling the Reapers is a construct made with Shepard's memories.

More like a small pile of ashes
By "Shepard stuff" do you mean playing Mass Effect? Because "Shepard stuff" is making decisions, killing enemies and being a badass.
Well picture it this way, imagine playing as a Turian, watching the Turian grow up from birth, learning about their cities and culture. That's way better than just working with them. I'm not really interested in playing as a human in the ME universe right now. I'm a human myself, I do human **** everyday. Let me experience something new! 
Hope not. Wipe the slate clean.
Wipe the slate clean for ME5 too. No imports.

Extreme Indoctrination. 
I'm hoping for a keep style function that imports general knowledge. The events of the first game, primarily. I don't think they necessarily need to involve the diverging end states.
I'm in favor of a keep-style system to cover major decisions such as the genophage cure and the Rannoch arc and the like, that determine whether certain species remain alive or viable.
The leak suggests we're going to have a krogan squadmate at the very least. Whether or not the genophage was cured would have a major impact on his character, I think.
If they are going to be importing choices what is the point of going to Andromeda? To me at least going to Andromeda is so they have a clean break from the first three games. Now with that said I would like something like The Keep made for Mass Effect not to import our choices into Andromeda, but to record our choices for future games so it could lower the risk of bad save imports if they continue to incorporate them into Mass Effect.
Integrating any events from ME 1-3 can only serve as a detriment to ME:A's plot, story, narrative, character development, integrity, plausibility, and believably other than building on a post Destroy universe with all other elements of ME's past becoming a murky indecipherable mythological legend.
Extreme Indoctrination.
I'd pick this for galaxy universe state.
I think it's entirely possible to have a Mass Effect Keep tailored to individual playthroughs without it actually affecting anything huge in Andromeda. At the same time, you'd have a definite history about what happened in your Shepard's story without alienating anyone else. And we'd still be playing the new game with a clean slate.Just saying, it could work.
I highly doubt any Keep would accurately reflect my playthroughs

Well they could accurately make a keep to reflect anyone's play through since it was Bioware who MADE the game and were the ones to put the choices you could make in the game to play it how you wanted to. So they will obviously be able reflect your play through because there are only a certain amount of choices that can be made at each dialogue option so it would be VERY EASY to so...
Let me put it this way:
If they make a Keep that accurately reflects my ending world-state, I will declare all is forgiven.
But as I said above, I think it's HIGHLY unlikely they will make one that accurately reflect my playthrough.
I'd like a keep to import the big choices like the Genophage and the Quarian/Geth outcome, because without that implies that we'll never see any Krogan or Quarians at all. I was under the impression that Krogan are making an appearance at least.
