Replying as I have no clue how to post on this thing
Don’t see the big issue about people saying u can’t carry on after. U can easily just make destroy the canonical ending all the other smaller choices such as save Geth or quarians can literally be factored in just the same as how war assets deplete due to certain decisions etc and the same way in ME1 it remembers whether u saved the rachni queen or not or saved wrex or not.
I’m sure they can write around stuff if they can resurrect the Rachni from ME1 even if u killed the queen.
Geth could be rebuilt by the Quarians through fragments of code left pieces together after all they did build them in the first place. Ppl can complain this is cheap writing or isn’t realistic or whatever but we really gonna talk about realism when the universe is based on FTL travel?
besides not picking destroy is just strange as the whole series up until that point indicated and was tailored towards destroy it was poor poor writing at the end if people rlly complain about destroy being canon then that’s their issue as it was what it should’ve been shouldn’t have even been an option for synthesis or control imo it was just stupid and a bit of a mindfuck and just silly at least everything else semi attempts to explain unrealistic * but synthesis was just *😂 and control was an idea of someone indoctrinated would yea that’s never reliable.
The issue is all the choices you made playing the series would become irrelevant, ruining the whole point of giving the player choices in the first place.
Agree with @AeromusPrime22 , that if they just said this is the cannon, then it kinda ruins the whole premise of your choices matter that the entire series is based on. Yeah, they retconned a few things such as making Udina Counselor no matter what, but they did give story reasons for the change....and even then many people weren't happy. To just say poof, all the people who chose B, C or D endings, sorry, your choices are gone, wouldn't go over well.
I personally think they have more than enough room to continue into Andromeda, expand on the Universe, and still bring in beloved races through the Arcs and still have a wide open playing field to do whatever else they want to do. I just hope they don't try to cram 3 games worth of character development into a single game again. Less people, more depth please.
