To keep the franchise alive in the long run (books, movies, comics, series..) the Milky Way issue should be resolved someday. They probably will choose destroy as canon someday, but further in the future, when most fans will be like 'Yeah, thanks for resolving that' instead of 'My choice should matter'. When they pack it with a honest 'Sorry, we painted ourselves in a corner, we need to do this for the franchise we all love', I think there shouldn't be too much outrage,

 

It's the future, the Reapers are gone, and everyone's got some form of nanotechnology in them. Done deal.

First off, we're shown that the relays were repaired in every ending, so that already pokes a hole in this reasoning.

Second off, you really think the galaxy wouldn't eventually come up with an alternative to the relays in that time period, if they were permanently destroyed?

Does the Galaxy even need one? Mass effect drives are a bit better than Star Trek warp drives, and the Federation gets along just fine. (OK, Trek also has transwarp conduits, but they've never been in widespread use.)


(Weird --Galaxy autocorrects to being capitalized; is that a rule?)

Eventually. Could be sooner or later depending on the popularity of Andromeda as a setting. 

 

I can't see our good friend Mac Walters wanting to go back to the Milky Way but ten years from now? Bioware will be quite different. I can seen an enterprising development team wanting to pick up from where the trilogy left off. As another said in this thread it's quite the ball-ache leaving one of the great settings in gaming just hanging like that. 

 

Andromeda will sell well though, so I can't it happening for a while.

The point is to get away from it because of the reaper wars.

[Giubba]

No.

 

Deal.

With.

It.

[Jedi Comedian]

I really think we've had enough of the MW.

[Mikael_Sebastia]

Yeah, they will return eventually.

[AngryFrozenWater]

Yeah, they will return eventually.

Exactly. You just have to be patient and the Milky Way will come to you.

Well, if they can - FINALLY - admit that they'd done fucked up royally with their artsy/"artistic vision" ending, then I'd accept ANY of the endings (though I like "destroy" the least...I just like the Geth too much (EDI is only a secondary consideration for me...I kind of don't want Joker happy - that MOFO killed me after all by flying like crap (sorry: but when under fire, you dodge, you double back so that you can engage, you don't try to outrun somebody who's at least as fast as you and can detect you with stealth-systems engaged which shows technological superiority!) and then not hauling ass to an escape pod ASAP when the ship was critically damaged -.-))...I sacrificed Legion for them to become true AI (all of them, not just when they are networked!), so I want to preserve them!) because I would like to visite some places we've only heard of in canon (or have only visited while already at war) from Thessia (want to go shopping for armor and guns there ^^) to Palaven,  Rannoch and Surkesh etc. etc. (oh: And I want to see a rebuilt ARCTURUS-Station...hated that we never went there!)

I hope they don't do sequels anymore, personally. Standalone installments from here on out allow for more drastically branching narratives in an individual game. Creativity thrives. So sure, they could realistically return to the Milky Way one day. Still would most likely have to set it prior to the Reaper invasion though. 

[The Dystopian Hound]

Highly,highly doubtful. Still gonna be in Andromeda probably.

You're a seer now Heimdall?

Tell me, what's the ending of ME:A?

Just common sense. There's literally no reason to go to Andromeda from the developer's standpoint except to avoid dealing with the cumulative variables of the original trilogy for a fresh start.

Returning to the Milky Way would be entirely contrary to that goal.

Certainly, even if the ME3 endings had been marvellous and acclaimed universally by every fan in the world, the problem of having three (or four) wildly different endings would still haunt any sequel.

 

For all the outrage I've seen in these forums, the cop-out pales in comparison to Daggerfall, when Bethesda basically made every ending canon and explained it as "the reality mechanics in our setting are nonsensical, deal with it". Compared to that, Andromeda's solution is clever and ingenious.
