Where do you go from a galaxy wide event which is basically the end of all life? You go to a different galaxy.

I'm worried about this, they say it takes place a long time after the ME trilogy yet according to design, nothing has changed, the human race has gone from fighting with 6 shooters to automatic rifles in less than a decade but the technology in ME world halted at the end of ME3? Still has N7 on their armour? They are going to an entire new galaxy (god knows how) and we have the same races as before?

When I say worried I mean from a story telling perspective. I'm not sure how Bioware are are doing recently with writers, losing some for example. DA:I's writing was not the best and lost the personal touch in exchange for 'world annihilation'. I mean ME2's story and character interactions were far superior to nearly everything in ME3 (omitting the heart wrenching choice in the Genophage 'renegade' choice). I think they are making ME:A based on success of ME series but didn't know how to do it after the ending of it.

If the main character ends up being called 'Shepard' (because he/she is bringing them to a new galaxy).

The more removed the better in my view. That series ended with a choice and one of those choices was kill everyone... wasn't it?

Pretty much they found some anchent thing in that part of the galaxy so they sent a ship with a bunch of people on it to go check it out.

The effects of the first 3 mass effect games happen and now them people are stranded in the andromeda galaxy with no way back!.

Except what they find is a Ship so they  make the planet their own and rebuild the ship so they can get back to earth.

only earth is trapped in a red force field!!, So you must go around and trade in spice and and talk to a bunch of aliens and try to free the planet and stuff like that

All ties together pretty good imo xD.

Or, in a more conventional an easier to explain story, after the Reapers appear in the Milky Way and the different civilizations face the first defeats, a series of Ark ships are build and filled with members of the different races in our galaxy and then send them to Andromeda in hopes of at least some of them escaping the sad fate of the rest.

Also, given that the Mass Reles were destroyed after the Evens of ME 3, we haven't been able to go and rescue them.

That will also explain why their tech isn't super advanced, because they have been on stasis during all the travel and have had little time to research new tech, and why we will see new but also old faces.
