Mass Effect Andromeda: Bioware head of Design & Art says the game is the largest ME ever

I must say I really enjoyed the MP. But I still only played it enough to get to the necessary readiness rating to snag the platinum trophy. But I think horde mode might be a style of MP I could get into a bit more. So I hope if Andromeda has MP that they don't only have PvP modes of MP.

I am hyped for Andromeda, but I enjoyed the story of the original trilogy Mass Effect so much right until the final 10 minutes that I am going to find it very hard to imagine that this could be the best Mass Effect ever, at least until I read it from highly trusted fgamers on this and other forums. I certainly won't be trusting reviewers on this sort of claim. I had a progressivly sinking feeling with Mass Efect 3's ending that they could not possibly make it a satisfying ending because of how huge and overwhelming the threat had become, which is why the F-you all ending is canon for me. Which means of course that Andromeda is a non-canon sequel.

I would actually love to see a Mass Effect sequel set after the F-you all ending several thousand years in the future when the first several species in the next cycle discover the mass relays and the Citadel and start the whole galactic civilisation cycle again, thousands of years before the reapers are due to return so that this is not the main thread of the games. Perhaps some of the game is uncovering clues about the reapers and the cycle, but not the main thrust.

Excellent idea, I love it. 

Sadly, I just don't see Bioware/EA ever taking such an expensive gamble on a game that couldn't reasonably have at least an option for a human main-playable character.

Well there could be a human-like species that just has green hair or something. I mean the Asari are humans with tentically "hair" and the Quarians look to be human with slighly funky leg anatomy (if the stock photo Bioware used for Tali is anything to go by). So "human-like" seems to be one of the standard models to which evolution gravitates across several worlds each cycle. And both of those species have nice bewbs and butts in exactly the right place, which is a definite plus in terms of marketing.
