DLC or rather ME: Andromeda 2?

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 2...

    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.

Definitely both, but considering how long it would take for a sequel to come out and all of the juicy plots that remain unfinished, I NEED some DLC. If I have to wait like 3 or 4 years to find out who killed Jien Garson or whats up with the Quarian ark I am going to go insane. When it comes to the questions surrounding the scourge, the Jardaan and the Kett, I think I can wait for a sequel but those other two stories are just too good and I feel they should be told with some DLC.   

Agreed, but usually DLCs are additional content/ story/ mission and not a resolve/ conclusion to the main story events, otherwise it would break main events into pieces released at certain interval. Any previous DLCs released had an extra mission. So idk, depends on how they decide.

i have to admit, i too would be a bit cross if i had to wait 4 years to find out what happened to the quarian ark, or who killed garson and specifically why (well maybe not the why bit).

so i say both... yes, i want my cake & to eat it too.

    Well, we got all the other Arks except the Quarian (maybe Geth sent out one too, hidden...in space... unknown location... stealthed ... sneaking up on us... what are we up too... what are the Kett up too...LOL)

    But the thing is all Ark missions have the same pattern:

    - Find it

    - Get on board

    - Deal with whatever is there

    - Get the Ark out of there to safety, save Ark, the people or the Pathfinder.

    That's it.

    I doubt the Quarian Ark will have anything else special to do with it (like the other Arks we played), except find it, then saving it. Or Not  🙂 It will still be repetitive. Maybe it will fit better in the next game, ..keep the tension up for players ... hehe   I don't know, up to them

      Option 3: the Yahg Shadow Broker secretly got some Yahg transported on the Quarian ark. At the same Baby Thorian got itself and a bunch of thralls and clones secretly transported on the Quarian ark, and the two groups are battling for control, while Kal'Reegar's twin, the Hanar who inspired Blasto, and a biotic god/vanguard Volus try to protect the other passengers.
