I think it'd be a neat thing if they just used the kett slow boat method, or even the Andromeda Initiative's magic ODSY slow boat engines, and have us traveling around and seeing the world grow while we stay the same age.

Prolly won't be that though.

Aside from having much more life forms to interact with, the biggest issue with the colonies was not seeing worlds visibly change with the colonial presence like seeing ships fly around the planet or having your little not citadel grow on the outside. Yeah, things get a little bit more lively with outposts but that's it. Just a one time deal.

Also regarding Mac Walters being an idiot:
If biologics vs. synthetics is such a universal problem, why aren't there any synthetic intelligences in Andromeda? (The remnant are effectively VIs, not AIs)

So much could have been fixed if you actually had even the ruins of synthetic life that couldn't function without organics to either serve or wage war on to actually show A: Synthetic life was made more than maybe 3 times in the known universe and B: This scenario would actually go down like Terminator again and again and not specifically because C: Quarians are morons.

But I guess nothing really matters anymore because we'll just jettison all copies of Mass Effect into space - in a course straight for the heart of the sun.

I can't believe BioWare of all companies would prove anime right by showing that plot development really does come from boobs and butts!

I wonder if they could just make Jade Empire in space and make like a weird Chinese Star Wars instead of Modern Star Trek the game. It doesn't have to be current BioWare that does it either.

I can't keep track of all of these BioWares EA creates after it kills the last one and which part of the cycle we're currently in.

Sad thing is I'll be writing that game and it'll be nothing but self mockery.
