Huge fan of Mass Effects 1-3, played through each one at least twice. When Andromeda came out, I heard it was crap and the reviews didn't look promising so I skipped it. Saw it at a pawn shop and figured what the heck, worth ten bucks, right?
WTF happened to this game. The writing is ludicrous, at times nonsensical. The dialogue options are all over the place.
My biggest annoyance is that it takes place after the events of Mass Effect 3, where all the relays are shut down--why not just have a colony ship that went out to explore Andromeda get stranded there? Why make it so that they traveled SIX HUNDRED+ FREAKING YEARS ??! Why would anyone ever do this when there are a hundred billion stars in the Milky Way to colonize?!
Anyway I'm like 45 minutes in and I can't stop thinking about that.
It starts its timeline before 1, and begins the actual gameplay after 3. And Andromeda is kinda far away, it'd take a long ass time to get there without relays to quickly jump over. Lore wise the founder and like 3 people knew the Reapers were coming and decided to abondon ship and the Milky Way, taking their chances to save most of the sapients they know of by starting over in Andromeda should MW fall.

It was a contingency plan for the reapers. I just got done bitching somewhere else about how much I liked Andromeda and I hope that they can the anthem shitshow to make mea2. And add flying to Mass effect.

I like the idea of abandoning the Milky Way, so that helps. I didn't get why they didn't just write it so that they used relays to get there, but then realized they were abandoned. Planning a 600 year one-way journey and recruiting hundreds of thousands of people to do it seems a little much.

So, no big changes from 2 and 3?

apart from the bad/weird writing, the gameplay itself is pretty fun. Although I wish it didn't have to be quite so frenetic all the time

They scrapped 90% of the world building that it took Bioware fucking years to make in its prime. That's just with its concept of taking place outside of the Milky Way. On top of that, EA gave it to their C team in an age where the studio was long past its prime.
