I'm not a ME gamer, despite loving the DA games. So, I'm wondering if I start with Andromeda, am I going to be super lost in understanding what's going to happen. I am finally interested in playing a Mass Effect game (just not the first three)!
It might be too early for any fan to know this, but I hope somebody from Bioware can answer this question before the game's release.
From the YouTube Gaming interview
- There will be some, but not much references to the old games, instead the whole point of Andromeda is creating room 'to look forward'
- It's pretty much confirmed that the Andromeda explorers left before the ending of ME3, but when exactly isn't clear yet
For those reasons, I definitely suggest to play the trilogy and get around the lore. After all they aren't bad.
I don't think so but for a better experience I highly suggest you to play the trilogy or you will miss references.
Also the trilogy is just wonderful, it would be sad to miss it 
No, you won't need to play the previous games. Bioware is essentially throwing the old games away.
Mass Effect: Andromeda will do a good job explaining things to you, and there is always the Codex for more information.
They said that there will be very little of the old games as they are focusing on the forward.
As you can tell however, most of us are recommending the original trilogy. This is not so that you are familiar with this new game, but because it's just that good. Or maybe we are biased, because we are on these forums.

The Shepard trilogy are good - at times great - games, but it sounds like MEA won't directly reference them, so I don't think you'll be lost if you don't play them. Besides, any references that are made will probably be explained by the Codex.

I dont think you will be as this is the start of a new trilogy so they will explain whats happened previously in the intro to the game i would think
As others have said, you shouldn't be too lost in terms of lore, as it will presumably be fairly easy for new players to jump into.
However... They're saying this will be similar to the previous Mass Effect games, so whatever dissuaded you from trying out the first 3 games might still be an issue in this one. Just worth keeping in mind
It shouldn't have a massive effect......

Casual... 
"We wanted Andromeda to be a fresh experience for everyone," Walters said. "So if you haven't played, you don't have to worry about whether you missed out on some key choice or something like that."
Mac Walters to IGN apparently
Don't you guys forget that ME 3 is the best place to start. or was it me2.
Yeah, not marketing's best moment I'll grant.
You don't need to play the previous Mass Effect games so you can start with MEA if you like.
No.
If you decide to play the trilogy, make sure to start playing ME3 first. Its the best place to start playing a trilogy. Then play ME1/2 after that.
play everything but the ending of ME3
No.

That can't be right start with ME 3 and then one and two i think you are mistaken Mike .
play everything but the ending of ME3
Is the ending really that bad ?
