Babies have to exist, and be raised by one mother and one father. Trop you know this.

Here's what you need for the full experience beyond ME1;

Mass Effect 2
The Cerberus Network content (which is a pretty good set of free stuff that comes with every new ME2 copy)
The N7 Complete Arsenal Pack (if you want more weapons to shoot people with, it has a lot of fun ones)
Kasumi: Stolen Memory
Lair of the Shadow Broker (Is just plain loving amazing, and somewhat relevant to ME3 events)
Arrival (this one's important, it leads right into ME3 with a big important event).

There's also Overlord, buuuut it's pretty crap, from memory.

Overlord is a much better DLC than Arrival unless you really like the idea of doing one extended solo mission with none of your squad present. Arrival is by far the weakest of the bunch and is easily skippable by just reading a two-sentence summary of what happened in it prior to ME3.

They exist, but always grow up to be Conrad Verner. Attempts to solve this problem continue to produce no results.

Jaal has this strange ability to be a sweet baby muffin to the extent that you get suckered in by the time you find out that he's actually just kind of a dweeb.

It's ok. The Pathfinder can marry a dweeb, provided he is cute, which is he.

You can be gay and want to be a father, but it did strike me as a little weird that he turned around and "whelp! guess I gotta partner up with this lady now!" and Ryder's response is "aww you guys are in love now :3"

Since if you are gay romancing Gil, he offers to be co-dads with you, I took this to be a nice 'there are all kinds of families' moment. I am presuming that Gil and Jill will remain platonic and go out banging whomever they like while raising their frontier baby together.

Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
I've now done the Moeshe mission on Voeld. It was pretty decent.

However after I did it on the ship the incidental dialogue all assumed I'd ended it the way I didn't end it. "At least we got the Moeshe, it's a shame we couldn't rescue anyone else" they all say. But we did, I didn't blow the facility up!
And it felt weird that they called it 'like a church'. Do Angara even have churches? It never seems like they do.

they had a little group sermon on voeld as well. presumable daals and aya are the only places with dedicated prayer - we mostly see science and military camps

They do have them, Ryder can bring it up with Gil. Gil agrees that sure it's an option, but Jill wants *proper biological babies*.

Mass Effect Andromeda is a ripoff of Bugaboo (The Flea) a game released in 1983.

It have the same animation when aproximating a planet, then your character have a jetpack and explore a weird planet.

Oh dear god, please don't tell me this is how the game loving ends and Bioware scrapped/rewrote the entire loving story in a month.

No but there is a distinct vibe of the AI being refugees looking for a home who set out to seek new lives and their fortunes. You constantly have to tell the angarans not to compare you with the evil criminals that came before you and you have to deal with angaran nationalists who are basically paraphrasing right-wing talking points. Which would hit home harder if you hadn't stolen a bunch of planets from them (in the case of Kadara and the krogan desert planet an actual occupation) and put down army depots on top of their actual sacred ground.

Fortunately the Angara were weak and useless against the Kett until Savior Ryder was able to liberate them, so their continued occupation is completely justified.

Their entire civilization couldn't attack a Kett facility that I did effectively single handed. Hey look, you actually made a good point although you aren't liberating them.

The angara resistance is entrenched heavily in the cities around the planet and partially cut off from one another in Voeld, so there is at least a story reason as to why they haven't mounted their final push there.

This is just the old Dances With Wolves "saved by the white man" thing happening.

For the younger readers I assume you've seen Avatar so that's basically what I'm talking about - a white male foreigner comes in, sorts everything out and saves the day despite doing not a lot the natives couldn't have just done themselves.
