Ladies and gentlemens, we've been playing Mass Effect (and many other Bioware products) for several years now. We've killed thousands of generic enemies and dozens of memorable bosses (and dozens memorable failures... looking at you, Kai Leng and Corypheus), we've stolen from starving families, we've shot Starchild because it's ********** and we should ******* that ********. We've romanced everyone and everything we could (and yet we still want MORE because five minutes of extra dialogue with one NPC is the reason why are we playing these games).
(I'm sure I pointed out the most important things, so let's move on)
... and there's also another thing we've been doing for very, very long time.
We were there for them, when their mind was falling apart. We found them emotially damaged. We listened to them. We learned how to understand them. And we helped them solve their problems (by killing people! 
).
).Hawke, The Warden, The Inquisitor, Shepard and others aren't just the best soldiers/adventurers around... they are also profesional therapists. They will listen to you, they will heal you (sometimes they are using very interesting method - like magic therapeutic penis. Ask Shepard about it.). Sometimes they'll choose very extreme method of treatment (like suicide), but you have to admit - it has immediete effect!
Many squadmates in Mass Effect suffered from daddy issues (I mean, almost everyone! Wrex - betrayed by his father; Liara - indoctrinated mother; Garrus - he disappointed his dad; Tali - she can get exiled because of him; and that's just ME1's squad!). Of course, there was also Grunt. He was young Krogan who've reached puberty and Shepard was there to help him by shooting people with him! What a great father/mother would (s)he make!
Shepard wasn't just their commander, Shepard was their therapist. He even didn't take any money for that service! But daddy issues were overused, so let's bring something new...
Journey to Andromeda is a great opportunity for that. We are far, far away from Earth, Citadel and Milky Way. Our friends and families are gone. We are not coming back.
Crew is falling into depression and you are the only one who can help them! Also, there is also bunch of aliens who wouldn't be able to solve their problems without you. Teach them about Freud and make them understand that every psychical problem they ever had have something to do with their dreams, genitals and relationship with their parents.
Who else is interested?! And what kind of psychosis' would you like to solve in Andromeda?
