Giving Mass Effect: Andromeda a try right now and..... it's so very 'meh'. Sure mobility is better and it's more 'open-world' but it feels less focused and the characters all feel so dull compared to the trilogy. I used to listen to every conversation with my crewmates in ME 1-3. In Andromeda I just end up skipping them or not bothering anymore.
I'll probably finish it, but it feels like a remarkably weak game by Mass Effect standards, and even by Bioware overall (even keeping in mind weaker entries like Dragon Age II). It seems to have taken some of the good, and many of the wrong ideas of Inquisition, and plugged them into Mass Effect and ended up with a weaker product than both.
