So this is my big fear with Bioware right now. Every game they make seems to be going further away from the great storylines that once were the backbone of every Bioware game. I mean Dragon Age 2 had a story that was rushed and completely nonsensical. Mass Effect 3... well that ending. And Dragon Age Inquisition had a short by the numbers story with a mustache twirling villain.
So I really hope Andromeda turns out to be more than a big space exploration sim with a tacked on story mode.
DA:I plays like an MMO that was retooled into a SP game halfway through the development cycle.God I hope ME:A isn't like Inquisition. That game had way too much filler for my taste. The game needs to be more story driven, imo.
Given what happened in ME2 and ME3 I don't expect anything from the story.
I expect good characters, music and combat/gameplay including multiplayer.
If the main story is decent I will be surprised.
i don t think so. They know what made ME a success, story will be even more important than before i believe. Yet the fun of combat also will be important evidently.
Those basic, simple elements like honor, courage, bravery, loyalty, and human fragilities will be the heart of the story because despite of being simple those elements are what made us to love Mass Effect.
At least i believe on that. And i believe the story will be bigger and greater.
After all..so many years to prepare and now this delay.

That bad the story was it? sincerely its your opinion, mine is the opposite but hey, i am a simple guy i admit. By comparison with other games even more.
No idea.
Bioware has been unusually tight-lipped about this project, with nearly everything we know about it coming from leaks rather than official marketing. It is really too soon to say what Andromeda's gameplay or story will be like.
If we're lucky it won't be anything like DA:I.
Bioware had to have heard all the negative feedback DA:I's side content and lack of cinematic interaction with NPCs received, and Andromeda is releasing more than two years after DA:I, so the devs certainly won't have an excuse if Andromeda is more of the same with a dash of Sci Fi.

Yes, to put it briefly I didn't like:
For that reason I hope MEA isn't planned as a trilogy but is totally standalone so they have the freedom to go crazy with the story.
- Collectors
In a nutshell ME2 being a total non story/joke put too much pressure on ME3 to tie up all the loose ends.
The Collectors were actually a really neat enemy and had in my opinion the greatest plot twist in the trilogy, but yeah the problem was Mass Effect 2 barely used them since it had practically no main plot. They show up a total of six times in ME2.
i might agree with some of those aspects you refer, but to me they are minor. Of Course it could be better, the end, the catalyst thing all that, but Mass Effect universe in all the trilogy is quite entertaining.
In the final sum i have to consider the result positive.

I just hope they never do what they did to me2 ever again. It did nothing for the trilogy and it has to shoulder some of the blame for me3's pitfalls.
Hasn't Bioware already said Mass Effect: Andromeda won't be Dragon Age: Inquisition in space? That despite DAI's success MEA would be it's own thing?
I think there will be a lot of content with lower emphasis on story, but hopefully there should still be a lot of content rich in story. Look at ME1 rather than DAI and look at how many collection missions there were. It wasn't just a DAI issue. You could finish the main ME1 storyline easily in less than 10 hours, but some people spent 100 on the game. Some people love that stuff so I can't complain too much, I just hope there is enough story, the combat gameplay is as good or better than ME3 multiplayer, and that we can skip most of the Mako/collection stuff. So long as the game has enough good content and isn't tedious, I'll be happy. I also don't want the good stuff to be hidden behind or deep in meaningless exploration, it's what I hate most about open world games.

I don't even see how you could spend 100 in ME1. What are they even doing? Just staring at thresher maws?
I'd say I averaged about 18 though. Not 10.

I got 20 hours doing everything including collecting rocks. Not on my first run obviously.

Same here, on my last (and final play). I did absolutely everything and it was about 20. Usually I don't do that though.
Maybe. Yes. No.
Maybe. Yes. No.
Haven't played DA:I, and having been on here long enough, that game hasn't exactly been given the best rep.
As for ME:A and its story, I'd of course love it if it had a great story, and was character driven etc. I had no personal issues with the Mass Effect trilogy's storyline, from ME1 through 3. I loved all of it. Sure, there were some elements I didn't like, and some parts did seem rushed or nonsensical. But I can't get to focused on realism when I'm playing a sci-fi game with giant genocidal machines.
We'll have to wait and see. I'd like the main story to be good naturally, but I'd also like to see the same for the side missions and there own self-contained stories/arcs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading something about loyalty missions in ME:A? I'm hopeful that means there will be attention to the new characters, and since we'll need their loyalty in whatever capacity, that somehow must tie into the plot so that will be interesting to see.

They didn't know what made ME a success when they made ME3. Now, ME3 changed the game because people STILL play MP, do they not?

Terrible. ME2 awful plot that had nothing to do with anything saved by good characters. ME3 weak plot, Cerberus steal the spotlight, no cool investigation into mysterious plot device, I mean Crucible. One of the worst endings ever written.
The Collectors were actually a really neat enemy and had in my opinion the greatest plot twist in the trilogy, but yeah the problem was Mass Effect 2 barely used them since it had practically no main plot. They show up a total of six times in ME2.
How so? They were just bug men. Harbinger taking control was cool but, as someone pointed out to me, you can't fear him because you kill him over and over again. The Prothean reveal was ok by itself but did nothing for the series. The Reapers were already going to kill everyone so there is little value to knowing they might do bad things with our dead bodies.
I'm sure Bioware will learn from their mistakes in DA:I (Whatever they were; I never played it) and ME3's weird storyline (Cerberus are suddenly an uber-army...somehow, and we'll justify it all with Reaper Tech ™) and awful ending.
Based on what? Lots of people have the same feeling as you but I don't know where they get it from. Mac Walters is the director!
