I would have made it so that it takes place on Eos for the first half of the game after arriving in the Andromeda Galaxy and seeing all of the planets that they chose for each Milky Way race are not viable for habitation or it's already inhabitanted by a race, then incident on habitat 7 happens which forces them to settle for Eos and landing each of the Arks in different locations on Eos which then leads to the player choosing over time either a military playthrough or a scientific playthrough or a somewhat mixed playthrough

The characters were just forgettable, Ryder was really annoying and the graphics were awful and buggy facial movements really annoyed me.

This is just my opinion but I have to say that from most comments I've read online over the last year the majority of mass effect fans agree with me. I do know there are people that like Andromeda but I think the majority of mass effect fans don't like it that much.

As a longtime ME player and fan, with over 3662 hours of MEA single-player play. And still with only 99% completion of the game. I am left with many storyline questions. Questions that BioWare should be willing to follow up on at some point. Such as 1: Why didn’t every Pathfinder get a scout ship? (Update, I found the answer to this in one of the books). I.e., Mass Effect Andromeda: Nexus Uprising Book 1 Mass Effect: Initiation Book 2 Mass Effect Andromeda: Annihilation Book 3 2: Who is this Benefactor, and where are they now? (Update, I have no definitive proof, but I know who this is and why they are not showing up in Andromeda.) 3: Who killed or ordered Jien Garson killed and why? (Update, I know who did this from the book). 4: Why didn’t the Krogan people get their own Pathfinder? 5: Why is the Tempest not at least armed with defensive weapons? 6: Does the Quarian Ark Keelah Si'yah ever overcome the pathogen onboard and regain control of their ark? UPDATE, I now know the answer to this one after finishing the book. But I will let the most dedicated fans find that answer as I did. (Spoiler alert), Cora Harper could never have become the Pathfinder when Alec Ryder died because to do so required that his replacement be one of his children for reasons that will be revealed when all the memory blocks are removed. That is why Sarah or Scott were the only options for this transfer. That is NOT the case with the other pathfinders. And finally, who ultimately becomes the leading member of the Initiative ruling body, replacing the current incompetent group? As well as other less essential story tracks left hanging with no way to pursue them. I love this and all the other ME games, but this one has always held my attention. And I am currently on my umpteenth playthrough. I am dedicated to reaching 100% completion of the game. P.S. for the channel owner and others that find several things about this game that they do not like. Try modding the game with Nexus Mods. I am running 30 mods with mine, and none are cheats. IMHO, modding is both fun and allows one to make the game more personal.

@@greatmatt301 There was a hidden cutscene at the end of 3 which showed Shepard to be alive, breathing. This was purposely left in in case they would make a fourth game. I think they’re simply going to canonize the Destroy ending which makes Shepard’s revival make sense. I also recall there being a dialogue in 2 about the Reapers coming from somewhere but the meaning of it was left open (probably on purpose too). All this could be the direction of the next plot line, exploring a post Reaper war world and possibly finding out who or what created the Reapers in the first place.

I would have loved a co-op mode - the chance to play the story through with a friend would have been awesome. Loved it - still my fav of the series - the controls were the best, combat was great. A lot more intuitive than the previous versions. Yeah you can argue faces and expressions - but it's the story the wraps you around it's little finger, and the humour - listening to the conversation between PeeBee and Drak or Cora and Drak for example while hooning about in the Nomad.... Still makes me smile. It would have been nice if the romance side of things had been expanded on - you romance someone, there's a peak, and then, nothing. It's like, hey, didn't we have a thing goin on here? Now you act like you don't know me anymore? Hows about a cuddle, a nice compliment? A bit of whaddaya fancy this evening? The only one that does more than a flash in the pan is PeeBee, and even that's fairly limited. It's kinda like they threw that whole aspect in as an afterthought. But would serve to round the whole story out, flesh things out as it were. After all, there's more to just flying around shooting aliens. How about building a home/base somewhere, something more personal? Where you can stash stuff, display your trophies, breed offspring etc. Ok, I digress - all in all - I loved it, inspite of all its flaws, can't wait to see what they have in store for us in ME5 - the stories in the series up until this point have all had the knack of getting under your skin - but all left you wanting more, and leaving many questions unanswered.
