Are y’all actually excited for the next ME?

I know it’s a ways away but it’s a genuine question. I personally think it’s doomed to fail and that’s not even taking in account the issues BioWare has had as a company the last 6 years. I think it’ll be very controversial simply because it has to canonize an ending and many people will be pissed that their ending and choices essentially “didn’t happen”. I know plenty of people who said they may not even play it simply off that reason. Then there’s the issue of following the success of the trilogy, and replacing Shepard. Hell, Andromeda failed largely because it as a single game, was constantly held in comparison to the entire trilogy (“Kett are boring after the Reapers”, “Ryder is no Shepard”, “Companions aren’t the Normandy crew”).

I personally think the best option is to return to Andromeda and just try to build a good sequel. Fix a lot of the problems people had with the first one. It at the very least, in my opinion, would be less controversial than anything they decide to do in the Milky Way. I think the building blocks are there for a good sequel to Andromeda despite its flaws. But I’m certain a Milky Way based game is doomed to fail before it even releases.
