We don't want another good character "fights against the tides of darkness and if she/he fails all is doomed"
we hear that kind of story every year and it gets boring, give us a story full of mystery, drama, exploration, a large build up to some ancient reveal. Use your writing skills to make a good story we've never seen before BioWare give us something new.
Naw. This conflicts with my desire for a villian who's a greedy CEO who's out to evict the indigenous aliens from their land in order to mine all the raw eezo from it.

Asking this of Bioware is like asking **** to stop smelling like ****. It simply aint happening bub, these guys have been recycling the same stories for over a decade.

I'd be cool with Pandemic in space, but I think sticking to the basics is completely fine.
How about the final act being us attacking the last bastion of the native Andromeda fleet. We destroy it and the conquest of the galaxy for the human empire is complete.
A villain is necessary to provide focus, and an obstacle.
We want a nice sexy lady for a villain.

Bethesda's Todd Howard as MEA villain CONFIRMED
I definitely want what you said we don't want, so eh.
Wait--villain? I want this guy as the protagonist!
Brilliant!
"We?" Speak for yourself buddy.

Ahuh... we're told we don't need a villian, from an assassin who tried to assassinate Luke and Leia's mother. You needed Vader against Luke, you need Boba against Han, you need Kylo Ren against Finn/Rey. And you need The Knights of Ren/First Order against the Resistance.
If you mean NO Big Bad Guy/Girl like Reaper in previous Trilogy I can agree with you. Andromeda seem to foucs on exploration if they have many Star/Asteroid to investigate, they can ceate Villain for all place (like boss for any map) instead of just one big Villain.
While I don't have any specific wish in mind right now, am I quite curious what the game will be about. I am not a huge explorer, or loving puzzles, I like the pew pew/cool space magic/"JediTechBiotic", the social stuff and fluff, spending lot of time getting the right looks (thanks to Gibbed and not too harsh game mechanics).
Do we know anything about our challenges in the coming game?
I'd like to see a complex political situation where we make enemies based on who we choose to support. If you help Group Y, then mega company 8 won't support you with new weapons development because you hindered their interest.
edit: or a race against time as a star/planet is dying type of situation if you need urgency. Maybe the dark energy stuff going on Haestrom could make a come back?
I want there to be an antagonist, but I'd rather they weren't a classic "big bad" villain. I'd much prefer that the conflict between us and him (or her) was a personal one, that the story is about the two of us fighting across the fringes of civilisation because we hate each other, instead of saving the galaxy again.
I think each planet should tell it's own story. I'd expect someone to be irate that a group of people just showed up and started colonizing planets or whatever the hell we're going to be doing once we start playing the game though.
IMO all stories have a love story, a good guy, and a bad guy.
Even if there isn't a Harbinger or TIM or Kai Leng.
There will be somebody other than us. That person may be in our team but wants the glory. So they are now the villain in this story.
Even coming of age books have the love story between the character and the best friend, unreciprocated crush, or whatever it may be.
They have the villain of an idea or person they are against.
Every story will have a main character, villain, and love plot by the time it's been written.
Not sure about that, lots of stories are just partial or incomplete for example in history whenever you have a interesting person or character sometimes they end up dying tragically or whatever before you see the full swath of their experience, perhaps not against a big bad but an accidental alliance or something like that, and finally not necessarily even they would indicate their story is one of "good" and "bad."
In terms of the official "stories and narratives school of tale telling" there is most decidedly an emphasis on the love story good/bad, but the only stories aren't those that are put into books and such.
