We can hope! I've always felt that a lot of the shade thrown on DA2 could have been prevented if they had named it, Dragon Age: Champion of Kirkwall (or something like that) instead of using a title that made (some) people expect a direct sequel to the previous one.
As long as Shepard is back they can call it whatever they want 😃
All joking aside, I don't know why Andromeda got such a bad reputation (as a game), if they didn't drop the ball and gotten all the bugs fixed and continued the series it is a great game as a spin-off.
Saying that, they can not continue ME4 as part of Andromeda as 600 years apart would probably mean all the original characters are already dead.
Yes Liara was about 21 in ME1 which would make her 621 if they continued the storyline of ME:A , Wrex was around 1400 already in ME3 and the rest can't live that long anyway.
I would rather they continue the ME game as part of the original series (we still have the creators of the reapers to deal with) and leave ME:A alone.
If they can continue ME:A and make ME:A2 I would love that, as there is so much to learn there and another ark to look for.
So my own opinion would be, leave ME:A make ME4 the continuation of ME3 (with a few years past, as they had to search for Shepard I bet).
We know both the trilogy and Andromeda will play a part (BioWare hints).
We also know BioWare will tell the story they want to tell, it's not going to be a 'fan requests compilation' (fans want different things anyway).
Liara was 106 at the time of ME1 (barely more than a teenager).
She could well have travelled to Andromeda (frozen) so even 600 years is no big deal and have come back the same way, so 1,200 years.
If BioWare wanted some 'old' crew they could simply have travelled along with.
After 1,200 years the events of the trilogy endings may have ended up approximately the same place.
Destroy - The AI lifeforms built up again (as the catalyst predicted) 'your children will create synthetics and then the chaos will come back'.
Control - Peace arrives but for how long will the Shep-Control entity last?
Synthesis - There is a new DNA, but evolution takes its own journey to who knows where.
I don't think it is a given that Shepard is back - we've only seen a bit of armor.
If that were to happen, being brought back from the dead or cloned has been done before.
So lots of room to press ahead in frankly any direction they want to.

Originally, the title was going to be Dragon Age: Exodus, but apparently it got changed because people would think it was an expansion instead of a sequel.
The third one was originally announced as Dragon Age III: Inquisition. Then they dropped the number, and now DA2's title sticks out even more. They should just remaster the series and change the title of DA2 to Exodus. 😛
