Is The Milky Way Really That Special or Was BioWare Lazy?

You're comparing apples to oranges. One whole galaxy linked together with mass relays, to one cluster with no way to connect to other clusters. 

Datapads make references to other races outside of the cluster, the kett make references to the countless other species they've worked into their genetic structure. 

So it has nothing to do with the milky way being special, or bioware being lazy.

I was comparing one space game to another, that also was made by the same company.  As I implied before, they could have had another race here, also develop a method for them to move around in fashion similar to Mass Relays.

Also, they could have easily been trying to be lazy..  If I'm making a new story and I don't want to feature as many races as I did in my past one, it doesn't mean I won't come up with a good/feasible reason to explain that aspect of the new tale.

We have encountered the angara who have purposely been hiding and not co-mingling somit stands to reason on their planets we only see them.

We really have not explored far yet at all.

Think about it like this, if the Angarans had come to the Milky Way to look for a new home, even if they had only happened upon Earth and its surrounding star systems, they would have encountered a multitude of races.  I agree that the game feels like it needed more development.  Especially when I look at the dialogue, there were parts where I got to then end and felt like, "Wait.  Was that it?" and not in a way that you can tell there will be a sequel (though sometimes sure) but in a way that had me look on youtube to make sure I did the whole relationship or what have you, lol.

I wasn't saying they didn't have in game reasons that work.  All I was asking was if their were very real life circumstances that could have influenced  that story.  It's fake so they could have done anything they wanted.

Granted we visit well over 50 planets, could it have made sense that we encountered more aliens?  I think so.  So why didn't we?  Now if you believe the story wasn't effected by "external" factors or desires (such as a desire to not have as many aliens in it right now because they didn't feel like doing all that work) then that's your opinion.  I wasn't sure so I asked what I thought was a reasonable question.
