Time travel is a pretty common sci-fi theme that has never been touched in ME. Do you think discovering some kind of time travel technology in Andromeda and using it to change the events of ME3 (including the endings) so we can go back to Milky Way is a good idea? Or would you rather leave the trilogy as it is and avoid adding time travel to the games?

[Fraegur]

To return to the events of ME3, you would not only need time travel but also the ability to travel between galaxies, or at least be able to send a "heads up" message back to warn them.

I don't like time travel very much ... to many what if's and variables to make it enjoyable

[themikefest]

I would not be against the idea if that were to happen

[Lady Artifice]

I'm torn. I think leaving it alone would be the safer option, but I wouldn't hate it if they could come up with a way for us to return to the Milky Way without making an ending canon.

If they were going to retcon NE3 with tine-travel, why go to Andromeda at all?

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

My Shepard time traveled and went through ME1 again. Sacrificed Ashley this time after discovering what they did to her character in ME3. "Trust me Ash, it's better this way." And made sure she shot Balak instead of turning his ass over to the Alliance.

Considering they could still have games in the Milky Way without having to canonize or retcon anything, time travel is unnecessary so no.

The same reason I spent so many seasons thinking The Doctor was actually the last of his kind, maybe. If they were to do a 180 on a story decision, they need to buffer the distance with content.

What's your proposed solution? Three different world states?

 

Or...four, I suppose, though the last probably wouldn't be much fun to play a game in.

[Para9on So1dier]

Not really time travel but I'd rather see something like in The Flash with Earth-2, if the crucible created some sort of mini portals across the galaxy leading to the same galaxy but an alternate version of it, imagine seeing all of your past choiced reversed.

 

You chose Kaidan to die, Ash is dead instead, you chose to reason with Wrex, he is dead. And some people lead very different lives, for example Joker is a brittle boned pilot, in this alternate galaxy he could be a scientist without brittle bones.

No need. As I've explained before, the different world states can be written in a way where most of the galaxy is the same in each state, with the differences just being different icings on it. This goes to the other big decisions as well, not just the endings. Bioware has done it before, so no reason they can't do it again. The only big issue is Refuse, but Bioware can treat that the same way they treated the Shepard dying ending in ME2.

The time travel quest in DA:I was actually the most memorable and creepy (in a good way) part of the game for me.

(there really wasn't much else in DA:I that I didn't yawn my way through)

It was poorly implemented, explained worse and ultimately to me had no place in the game.

[Belial]

Because

 

1) That way they won't have to address the endings

2) The potentially more advanced races in Andromeda might have already developed the necessary technology while it would require huge technological leaps for the Milky Way races to do it on their own.

[Laughing_Man]

Well, I think that most of DA:I was poorly implemented and badly executed. And as for explanation, Bioware have done worse in the past.

*snorts* this really isn't much of a defense you realize? 'They've done worse'

[Laughing_Man]

Well yeah, it's obviously a matter of taste and opinion. IMO it was passable.

DA:I had very few memorable moments, so I'll take what I can get I guess.

[Arcian]

I would only condone time traveling if it was used to either undo Super MAC's cancerous endings or reboot the franchise.

Yeah, just make everything inconsequential and bland. Why waste time with things like consequences and lore?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Yes, because things will be so consequential in an entirely different galaxy on a ship that leaves before or during those choices in the trilogy. 

[Iakus]

Much as I would love an opportunity to undo that radioactive pile of dung that is the ending, time travel stories are rarely done well. And even more rarely done in a manner that makes sense.

[Killroy]

Changing the setting allows for consequential things to occur. Blurring every choice and action from the trilogy into one worldstate is better than that? Making every decision you made throughout the trilogy inconsequential is better than a new setting?

Please, share what they can do to make our choices as Shepard consequential in Andromeda that they can't in the Milky Way. I genuinely want to hear them.
