Nah, Shepard. The kiss at the end of the Omega DLC was canon and that's all it took.

The tutorial level is you exploring an alien world with your father. You jump around the rocks, shoot a few aliens and crack jokes, when suddenly your father begins to wither and die in front of you, his suit cracking and his skin turning to dust. You wake up and realized it was dream you had during cryosleep. You get up to tell your father about it and find that his cryo pod broke two years into the trip.

My problem with Sera is not that she's 'zany and quirky and has a weird sense of humour'. MY problem is that she's a moron who's just doing things because gently caress the man, I guess?

If Peebee ends up being a character who's overall got her head on straight and is a constant barrage of bad one-liners, I'm okay with that.

Like an Asari Jake Peralta.

Yeah, I mean Sera's humor wasn't really my bag, but the offensive things about her are more in the line of her being huge rear end in a top hat teenager+. Goofy rogue archaeologist sounds like fun though, so I'll wait to see what other details they put out about her before I make any judgments.

Easy solution: don't wear a belt. Or pants.

Makes the post-gunfight banging more convenient.

The DA:I MP was fine conceptually and could have been a fun little dungeon crawl mode but it suffered from a couple fatal mistakes, primarily being 1) the horrible rubberbanding netcode that made coordinating attacks frustratingly difficult, and 2) all the base classes were boring and the good kits required a ton of grinding to get. Like this is a throwaway multiplayer mode in a game for CRPG grognards, how long do you think people are going to stick around.

ME3's MP also had super wonky netcode but all the base classes were pretty effective, and new classes could be obtained with a single lucky card drop rather than having to grind out separate materials Warframe-style. Generic Human Vanguard or Engineer in fact remained some of the very best classes throughout the entire life of the MP, instead of intentionally being designed to be terrible so that you would spend time grinding out matches until you got to play the actual fun kits.

The disadvantage with ME3's approach is that if you wanted to try a fun new class (eg Geth Juggernaut, or Quarian Mangineer or Turian Rocket Boots or whatever) you had to just keep buying packs and hoping. Letting people work towards specific things (even if it takes a little while) is a good idea.
