NEW GAME + PLUS | What would make you carry over to +?

Given some people are expressing distress at how little stimuli we have for another go (also given the bonus bugs we have as reward so far ...), let's relieve our stress by proposing some ideas of things to be added to NG +, things that, accordingly to you, would make you want to play the game continuing from the level you had on your last playthrough. We'll talk here about NG +, not really another regular NG. Oui?

BONUS DUNGEON

I have expressed this idea around already, but I'll resume it here in an ordinated fashion. Only after you beat the game, either post-Meridian and/or NG+ would unlock a bonus area. This Final Dungeon, and I mean it not to be a DLC, but something innate from the vanilla game, would be hard. Hopefully, not only battle-guided hard, but also puzzling (no Sudoku-wise, more like other logical problem-solving), and, of course rewarding with some top-of-the-notch or unique loot.

 

This idea is recurrent in many games, are usually well tended and people usually like the additional challenge.

UNLOCKED OPTIONAL BOSS

I would so love to try and fight that giant worm swimming around Elaaden.

SAM LAYER

Additional content (I concede they can add a DLC with this PUUUUHAHAHAHA), you would learn and see what SAM learns and concludes during interactions and the main storyline. You would be able to switch between your regular Ryder conscience and SAM's conscience (the world would become blueish, for example, and you would listen to SAM's thoughts. A small SM would appear on the corner of the screen when SAM would be making or learning stuff, so you could take a peek).

These are a few of those I would enjoy having.

What say you?

    so, they don't plan to put the ryders in the next MEA title? seriously? just, no... give them back damit. they may not be perfect, but i don't want to start hopping protagonists again, just like about any other game there is, just no. that's what made mass effect unique, that the story continues with the evolving characters and their ever evolving stats that we painstakingly created (well painstakingly for me).


    Yeah, it was stated ages ago that they didn't plan on making Andromeda a trilogy.

    Then again, they also said they didn't plan DLC either.

    Things change- hopefully.

    While there will be games set in andromeda - a trilogy wasn't planned. ☹️

    The one thing that always made ME stand above the rest tbh. I hope we get at least one more game with them but won't hold my breath ☹️


    I am simply dumbfounded. While it might make story sense to have us play the unready people who create the second wave of problems in the galaxy for some future playable character to clean up it also makes as much sense as making the second game a prequel where you play as Tann.

    Just no. Asking me to buy DLC to resolve all those plothooks or get any playtime with people that may actually listen to me... I got the Tann/Mordo stutter going on. If that's it then I *am* done with all of it. 😞

    IF that's the whole Ryder story it wasn't a very good one - and I can't imagine anyone thinking it works as a good story as standalone.


    if they really take MEA down that route... i'm just done. with mass effect, and bioware in it's entirety. if this is the best they can do with the franchise, they've just proven they are clueless, arrogant, blind, ignorant, money grubbing, fools... far beyond redemption. 


    Calm down, people, let's not just overreact right now. Things haven't even gone that far yet, nor we have really confirmed information, mostly hinted, and they could go both ways: stand alone with only DLCs (which I concur would be lousy, unexpected and top-disappointing beyond worst expectations), OR stand alone to prepare for a new saga (1, 2, 3 games, depending on the amount of failure | evolution they present thereon in).

    Whatever they do, then we act accordingly, but I think we shouldn't get distressed over things that haven't happened yet. We have already our daily quota of stuff to deal with, right?

    So, let me prompt back our topic.

    Before reading some replies, I had really forgotten Meridian and Habitat 7 post-game. Those are really great hooks for additional content and unlockable stuff. Just need to make it worthwhile.

    Wear a bonus Addison Face-Tired Mask. That would be fun. They could concede they screwed up with that conversation, gave reaons for billions of memes, but could also make a mask you could wear in NG+ with Addison's face tired, prompting small conversations like: "Really?" "What the hell?" And, of course, bits of Exchange with Addison herself, begging you to stop wearing that.

    Ok, that was the most stupid idea I ever had so far.

    What about a Fast Forward Mission log?

    Most of us surely like replaying the whole game. But given there's a lot to do and there's a great deal of missions that are downright boring and annoying, what if in a NG+, all missions you did in the previous game, side missions, that is, could be fast forwarded?
