My favorite thing about ME3 MP was how the new classes got more and more wacky as development went on.

The combat is arguably the best part of ME3, and multiplayer was that with all the awful plot fat trimmed off.

This.

Also you get to be a biotic ninja with a katana and hand lasers, so it's probably the most anime the series will ever get.

It turns out if you let two game designer idiots who aren't good at telling stories tell the story, anything that isn't pure distilled shooting dudes is probably gonna suck.

I do wonder how much of the craziness will make it into Andromeda single player. Like, I don't expect to be able to replicate the literal walking tank Geth Juggernaut but will they let me be a tech power based infiltrator based around flamethrowering from stealth? Seeing through walls would be a nice bonus, of course.

I'll probably go tech-focused if it plays like it did in ME3. It may not be the most efficient thing in the world, but my favorite way to play ME3 is as an engineer specced to max out drones with combat drone, auto turret, and defense drone, with overload, incinerate, and one point in sabotage for turrets.

So you want a sub-squad to your already existing squad? I can get behind fielding a small army.

Also, if it plays like ME3 did after the changes to tech explosions, just get Incinerate in there with a low enough cool down and (in theory at least) you could be wrecking poo poo as fast as adepts.

ME3 also suffered because you have a lot less control over Shepard compared to the other two. Like how the game crams Liara as your best friend and confidante down your throat even if you never talked to her before. Or how there's no option to have Shepard be optimistic about anything ever, just be either sad and maudlin or kind of edgy but mostly sad and maudlin. It made me like Vega because I think he's basically the only one who ever tries to get anyone pumped.

Also I was really confused about the beginning of the game because I didn't play Arrival on my first runthrough so I had no idea that anyone blew up a relay. I wondered if I was under house arrest because of the whole Cerberus thing, but then Anderson said I blew up a relay. Then I read the war assets and it said a different marine corps did it instead. I'm pretty sure the game continues to make references to Shepard blowing it up from there, though.

It's been long enough that there could be an ironic hipster ME3 renaissance or even worse some kind of outright failure to remember how bad it was. That can't happen, and we need to be vigilant.

God, seriously.

First DLC: Woahhhh oh man they're gonna let you play as a batarian? Crazy.
Third DLC onward: Volus with nukes, Geth juggernauts, teleporting space ninjas.

And speaking of which, I think my one wish is for the return of the Javelin. I'm pretty sure that charge-fire sound that it makes is permanently etched in my brain.

Mass Effect 3 had its good moments, and Citadel was loving amazing, but the plot as a whole just didn't work well at all.

It also really was really quite boring to look at compared to ME2.

Every MP DLC ramped up the crazy and it was great. "Hello sir would you like a vorcha with a flame thrower and crazy fast regen? How about a human adept that literally drains the life force out of their enemies? How about something for the little lady in this number that warps through walls and tosses poisoned spikes that explode!"

The designers really tried and did make some fun weird classes in the DLC, but they were hamstrung by the combat engine's flaws, while ME3MP was working from a really strong foundation.

Also all this discussion and no one brought up the krogan warlord, who revolved entirely around hitting people with a giant exploding hammer.
