PLOT | Next game, what will that be?
Just to see what you people are expecting in a next game, if one is ever done.
I think MEA is a sort of a stand alone project. Making grounds (probably making experiments as it goes) and room for another saga, not sure if expecting another trilogy or another game, which would close the Andromeda plot. DCLs would take care of some minor issues, probably, perhaps only giving clues of the Quarian Ark (not really saving it) ... I think that's as far as I expect any DLCs for now. Nothing else stands in my point of view that would justify showing right now without being something importantly involved in a following game.
My guess is that the plot would return 10 years from the ending we have there, both Ryders somehow respected, but also forgotten. A smarter SAM, probably knowing more jokes by now, a seasoned Vetra, Cora and Liam, perhaps these three still around you. Drack probably might have been less active, Peebee might have gone travelling. It would open a situation with more possible squad mates, perhaps a couple of our former crew mates might not return to our services (please, make it Liam gets paraplegic or something).
And what then? Given you did your (and everyone else's) job as a Pathfinder, you found paths and planets and Meridian, and everyone is happy, living, not starving. What are you now? Nobody. You are a nobody. Of course, the kett retreated, but they are surely returning. Something will prompt us into action. Probably, a sign of the jardaan will come from Aya or Meridian itself, because ... we still don't know if the jardaan is truly friendly.
So, there are questions. What do you think will be our job in the next game? What do you imagine we'll be fighting for? Do you think we'll have another trilogy? Or just a second closing game? Or two other games? Or just a bunch of DLCs and Expansions to finish the tale? What are your takes on the next steps?
