I know i know StarGate isnt close to ME universe.

 

But i star thinking after watching Atlantis today, that ME Andromeda can work similar as that show works.

 

They can set the time line of Andromeda after ME 2 when Shepard spend time on Earth, he and Anders could have star a project thinking that they coundnt beat the Reapers, so they make this crazy plan together with some other top officers in the council. To make this Ark, and send it to other galaxy to allow Human kind and other species to survive.

 

U could think how about the technology, well this is after ME 2 so they could have access to Collector technology no meter if u destroy or no the base. And this will explain why Cerberus is involve to ( suppose from the leak), i mean after ME 3 Cerberus is wipe out by Shepard.

 

Is if they put it in this between limbo, u can still have cameos of what happen on ME 1 and 2, and avoid all the problems that ME 3 involve (endings)

We've thought about this. They leave when the reapers invade. 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

So...Black Ark Theory?

I say they leave before the events of ME3

[spinachdiaper]

If MEA doesn't start  with leaving the Milky Way 1,000+ years after a ME3 destroy ending the entire story is cowardly and leaves the ME universe with unresolved continuity ruining plot holes.

 

THE REAPERS MUST BE DEAD OR MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA IS A FARCE!

[ZipZap2000]

During or before ME2 (Arrival included)

My bets on the council building it like the crucible its design was handed down over cycles.

Not discounting your theory which is also possible.

[Lady Artifice]

I think It's after the Reaper's invade but before the events of the ending. 

 

Which actually worries me, because I think that's what the Asari councilor was referencing when she talked about ensuring the continuation of civilization, and that happened after Priority: Rannoch. Which would mean no Quarians in ME:A.

Plus there is the matter of the Krogan, the Genophage is a bit of an elephant in the room in my opinion. 

[Drakoriz]

=P i feel silly now that i come out with this cool idea, and is already old hahahhaha.

 

Anyway i still think it will be between ME 2 and ME3 and all that time Shaperd spend on Earth.

How is anyone going to be able to deal with Krogan Urges on an Ark long term without the Genophage is what's bugging me.


Why I say it has to leave before the Genophage is cured.

Problem with that is, unless the Krogan are just going to accept the Genophage as a fact of normal life (which is not likely) then the Genophage will be the hot button issue for the Krogan again, with them wanting it cured.  And as you say if its cured for whatever reason the Krogan pose a problem for everyone else, though I guess the Krogan have been shown to respond to good leadership. So we'd need a Krogan leader that the rest will fall behind, Warlord ZipZap maybe? 

 

Seriously though, if they do go that route the identity of the Krogan leader is something I'm really curious about. Bakara was too much of a Mary Sue for my tastes so I'd like to see them go the opposite route. Someone with progressive ideas but also really ruthless that gets people to fall in line through intimidation or something like that.

Id be honoured to lead the Krogan people again but Spectre duties have me tied down atm.



I was thinking the same thing with the Genophage glad I'm not a writer.

I was about to bring this up. All these theory threads, and somehow no one mentions this as the most likely jumping-off point. That line makes it sound like they had the general idea for Andromeda already. It's a rather clear set up even if they hadn't though, and they'd be silly not to use it.

But if Priority: Rannoch takes place before the asari Councilor talking about the continuity of civilization, doesn't that leave the possibility open that at least some quarians could be on the mission? Like Jona'Hazt. Of course that would depend on how one deals with Priority: Rannoch, but... suppose the exodus from the Milky Way doesn't begin until Thessia is lost and it is believed the Crucible plan will fail. I bet there will be quite a few quarians (and geth?) who, although happy the homeworld is reclaimed, aren't quite ready to settle down and become farmers yet. They might leap at the chance to join a mission to Andromeda.

i mean everything that happen on ME3 was a BIG BIG RISK, so there is a possibility that some Quarian are on the ark, just base on personal opinion. They cound have join the effort bc they think it have better chances that taking back Rannoch. Or the believe that the Reaper invasion was a huge problem and taking Rannoch back wont fix that.

I suspect if they want Quarians in Andromeda there'll be a stash of refugees who got aboard, or a youth group of pilgrams or cloning vats or something, regardless of when the Ark leaves.

 

The later the ship leaves the more choices can have consequences, so there's that.

Regardless of what occurs on Rannoch, it is canon that there are still friendly Quarians and Geth alive that are with the galactic forces.

Yeah, I wouldn't put too much stock in that throwaway line. It was written well before Biower knew they'd have to run away from the MW because the internet hated their ending.

 

I wouldn't put it past them deleting every species that isn't the popular Council and krogan just to simplify things, though.

Even more than the possibility that most Quarians might be dead, I'm worried by the claims they made years of researching into which are the most popular races and taking that into consideration as they create ME:A. I have a bad feeling about this.

 

I'm telling myself not to assume things until I actually see the game, but based on the new premise, the probability of the story moving away from the subjects I always wanted them to delve into more, like political intrigue and Quarians, seems ominously likely.

Day one DLC: The Last Prothean Quarian, a stowaway aboard the Ark. The challenge will be to either throw them out the airlock or find some way to synthesize dextro-amino food so the poor person doesn't starve. Just kidding. I'm sure there will be turians in Andromeda too

You could very well be right about how they've decided who gets on the boat and who doesn't. Maybe with the reclaiming (or not) of Rannoch, the quarian story arc is over, but the same could be said about the krogan and the cure/sabotage of the genophage. From what we've seen, it looks like they made it at least.

I think the difference is that neglecting to cure the genophage isn't itself a sudden cataclysm that wipes out most of the existing Krogan population, it just fails to reverse it's gradual decline.

 

But also, Krogan are a little more popular than Quarians, and that's what's really got me worried.

 

Well, there's still hope. We might yet have every species along for the ride.

[Vox Draco]

The Andromeda-Mission probably was the back-up-plan to make sure the races survive if the Reapers are not stopped. Or someone sudenly decides to, dunno, jump into green light and turn everyone into Borg.

 

I also think those were generation-ships and Andromeda takes places maybe hundred of years after ME3, to further make sure nobody even talks about what happened back then, because nobody knows. Though I guess they might pull the cryostasis-card, so at least some small references will be made to ME3 by contemporaries of Shepard, but merely in passing for sure, nothing important.

 

I thought this was the whole point of the new setting? So Bioware can have all three stupid endings to be canon...

Sure, agreed. I was thinking more in terms of the story arc being over, because where else do you go with the krogan if there's no genophage cure? Andromeda! badum-tshh!. Of course, it all depends too on when in the timeline the exodus for Andromeda takes place. If it is somewhere before the reaper invasion occurs, then no conflicts have been resolved for any species.

The question is will Grunt's exposure to Shepard make him eat Wreav and take over the Krogan?

This is actually what I'm expecting. Leaves before ME3 or before the end of ME3 happens, arrives in Andromeda (where we pick things up) decades or more after ME3. Just enough memory to make mention of our favorite characters, not enough info to talk about the endings.
