Mass Effect-Opinions and Questions

(To skip this story, refer to the second paragraph) I know for a fact some may think less of me for saying this. However, I was never and I mean never a fan of sci-fi games of any kind. My pick of the poison was always always fantasy RPGs, high fantasy, like elves and magic and all that. Although one day my computer crapped out and I brought my stepdads xbox into my room. After rummaging through the games I stumbled across the entire trilogy of Mass effect. I looked at it, and with a sigh I popped in the first disc. From that moment I was hooked.

Sadly I am now finished with the entire series (plus the DLCs and Andromeda). And..it's sort of bumming me out. Like heavily, knowing that I found this wonderful series and now it's over and we'll most likely have to wait eons for another. Then I thought to myself, what would I add to make it better? Andromeda wasn't awful but I would not dare call it 'great' either. So the question here is; What would you want added in the next installment of the series?
I suppose what I would add is more romance options with detailed questlines for them. You remember those small-time romance options with those small questlines attached? How they paled in comparison to the mainstream romance options? I mean if you're going to give our player options to boink people then at least make them -want- to do it. Make the people interesting. Another small gripe of mine is the lack of free-roam. Go here, do quest, come back, fiddle with an asari. Yadda yadda.

I don't have many suggestions. I played the original and it was just ok for me. I skipped the others and tried Andromeda. Andromeda was the most embarrassing and worst AAA game that I can remember, at least at launch, which is when I tried to play it. The animations, the combat, the bugs, the forced political agenda, the boring story and characters, I just couldn't finish it. It was awful. I think it best they let it cool and come back to it eons from now.

I feel you there bud. I think the main problem with Andromeda was putting a well beloved series into an engine it's never used before then expecting launch to go great lol

Quality characterization and narrative.

While the latest got a lot of flack for it's discount presentation, that was only because it was extremely easy to meme. A lot of really great Bioware games were ugly and janky in a lot of ways, but it was easy to forgive. Folks were distracted by the characters they cared about enduring trials they considered intriguing. Kreia is still to this day one of the most interesting and well written characters in all of gaming.

And because of that when folks talk about KOTOR, they talk about things like her, instead of the epic fluff ton of issues one could bring up about the game. If I had one wish for the next Mass Effect game, it would be that they write an epic story full of darn interesting aliens first, and then build a game that fits the story over that foundation.

they should kill off the series. Come up with a new IP...or resurrect an old one (Jade Empire 2 would be welcome by many)

Mass effect series need a brake
