LOL, I know it could be too soon... but still.. I was wondering what would majority of people would like better? A DLC to current game or rather the next Andromeda? Considering:ME:1 2007.... ME:2 2010.... ME:3 2012.... ME:A 2017 looong time 🙂 I don't dare guess how long for ME:A 2 releaseBut now that all complaints were out, finally people starting to chill about it ... i would think Andromeda 2 would be a game to top the previous.Soooo i'd vote for developing ME:A2 rather than a few hour DLC.

um....BOTH!!The time frame between ME3 and MEA was for two main reasons....1) Swap over to Frostbite engine.2) World build a new game and galaxy to inhabit.They have most of the new world basics built, and they have better understanding of Frostbite, so I could see a 3-4 year development for MEA2, and thus a few good DLC before hand to help tide us over. And why 2-4 years, well anything less than 2 and you risk a really really rushed world and product, so I would rather see close to 4 on a new ME. Look at the issues with DA2 if you want to see what a 2 year release does for you.

Well, a ME:A2 would also lead to DLCs for Andromeda anyway, no either-or then.
Honestly unless EA will write off Andromeda and bury it (which is not off the table yet), there is no reason to not release any DLCs.
Main production costs are with the main game, still voice acting will be expensive again, but there is no reason to not make profit with any DLCs out of ME:A.
Especially cosmetics or weapon DLCs (which have almost no production costs). Would eventually allow for some story DLCs as well.
Basically to save their losses from missed sales target it would make sense to release a lot of DLCs (rather good quality and cosmetics/weapons etc. assumed) to get the most out of the original investment in the game.

I would think there would be some DLCs by the end of the year. An MEA2 probably won't happen until at least 2020.

Yeah.... I'm thinking definitely both.
Of course the thing with story DLCs is that they usually tend to tell additional stories, rather than continue parts of the main game's stories, and then both sets of stories have to be accounted for in the next game or two. Honestly, I'm all for this, as I never had many real issues with the game, other than how High Noon plays out, how open world exploration didn't play out like it (excellently) did in DAI, and not getting a shot with everyone I wanted to romance. Not deal breakers in any way, although I would be more than happy to have them improved if the devs decide to.
All this to say I would welcome the additional fun of story DLCs without worrying that it would compromise the gameplay value of MEA2

I'm thinking DLC for the simple reason that I don't think they are anywhere near ready to deliver the next ME game. So I'll focus on what's actually achievable within a short period of time.

Andromeda was by far the best move Bioware could've made with the IP! With that said, recent news has shined light on details regarding the Mass Effect IP and Dragon Age IP being placed on ice to make way for an Online MMORPG themed with a fresh new IP.
This fact could give everyone a good glimpse of what's to come for Mass Effect Andromeda.
DLCs have already been showing up as free story-based Apex missions, largely due to the fact that Bioware has waived a Season Pass for Andromeda. Solo content is still unknown, unfortunately.
For being such an amazing game, it disappoints me to think that there could be a chance it wont see the same level of TLC that ME 1-3 saw.☹️
