Because it doesn't make sense to send people 600 years away when you have 99% of a galaxy left to explore. That's why.

If you open a new relay to explore more of the milky way, then you might get Rachni 2.0 coming out and launching a huge war. If you send people to another galaxy, then you are much less likely to be invaded by aliens in return.

And even if we accept your premise that it would make more sense to explore the close neighborhood, people often act irrational. Please remember that people told Columbus that he would starve on his way to India, because they knew the rough size of the Earth. He insead decided to believe in older, wrong estimates of a smaller Earth, and was only saved by the Americas being on his route. A privately funded initiative may have people in charge who want to reach Andromeda just for braghing rights.

There's nothing wrong with going to Andromeda. The only thing that's wrong is that the devs have to go with this plot since the dumb ME3 ending burned the milky way setting.

Yeah, or maybe even a good old Space Race - Russia and America weren't out of places to live on Earth, they were going to the Moon because it looked like maybe they could and they both wanted to be first. Humanity joins the galactic scene, discovers nobody's been to another galaxy yet, figures it's something that looks doable, decides to show everyone up, then all the big players join in because they don't want to be seen as falling behind the upstarts.

The problem is that the milky way galaxy, in the games, is barely explored. There are a bunch of mass relays they don't even use for fear of what might be on the other end. And that's a tiny percentage of the ares that actually have a relay.

There is no reason to leave the galaxy whatsoever.

All the relays blew up.

I love how many people in this thread have mentally retconned the ME3 ending into "oh they're fine, everything is fine, shepard and liara had blue babies and everything is fine" while they rock back and forth in the darkened room of denial.

No need for us to retcon it. Bioware did it for us.

Extended cut. Hackett narrates over stills of everyone fixing poo poo up and enjoying how it was mostly only the Reapers (and also the geth) that exploded.

You wanting to be bitter at the ending doesn't make you right.

Always funny how people can look at something with as many flaws as Mass Effect 3 and still feel a need to make up exciting new imaginary flaws in their quest to say how bad it is.

Andromeda is the retcon. The timeline was nearly snipped off in ME2 and ME3 is now Robocop 3.

To be fair, asari do bear the stigma of having literally brought the galaxy to the brink of ruin so they could keep showing up the frog people in their physics finals.

I'm sure this is a bad thing to bring up but I gotta vent. I'm looking forward to this, but I'm majorly disgusted by how a majority of people seem to be into these games solely to gently caress aliens. I hate bioware for catering to them so much. It creeps me way the gently caress out. The Witcher 3 is maybe my favorite game, has sex and romance in spades, but it handles it like an adult? Witcher fans seem to be more interested in literally everything else, and not the technicals behind jamming body parts into robots or cloaca or whatever.

I'm really good at detaching something from the fanbase, but gently caress me this is starting to put me off this franchise completely.

It's nice that Bioware stated that the badguys won't be typical evil (trailer doesn't really suggest that yet but sure) because I'd be skeptical too if an alien invasion fleet turns up with the intent to colonize but under the guise of "friendly exploration and cooperation" etc.

I hope they do something interesting with the premise and don't file all of that under TIMs daughter renegade option or whatever while the rest of the team are blissfully ignorant of the trail of dead bodies they're leaving behind in this new galaxy.

nah he will do some self sacrificing radiation style death while they mind meld using mass effect fields while talking about the meaning of friendship.

then in the next game we will find his baby clone and raise it while looking for a way to return it to his newclone body.
