I'm wondering if there's still a chance that we'll see more: I'd resigned myself to Bioware having binned its popular franchises since Hudson apparently dedicated their efforts to pursing his Great White Elephant, whatever it's called, but just heard that there is a Dragon Age IV (actual name TBA) in the works which suggests to me that they may do more ME as well.
I suppose I feel almost trollish for suggesting it, though it honestly isn't my intent, that the best chance of recovering the series is just to admit they absolutely screwed up in every way with ME3 and that it should no longer be considered canonical; I guess a bit like the Peter Cushing Doctor Who films, which I loved but which are kind of problematic for the franchise as a whole. ME3 was so clumsily handled and just stripped away the mystique of the series in a very man-behind-the-curtains sort of way. Interesting how those first three MEs kind of mimic the Alien series in terms of how they were: first was much more deep, mysterious and a bit scary; second was much shooty and more gung-ho; and the third just suffered too many re-writes without knowing either what it wanted to be or where it was going.

Blimey, I am meandering about rather a lot with this. It's obviously that time of day. Weren't we talking about chainmail bikinis or something?
Yes I remember that chain mail topic in DA: Inquisition, went on for 2 or 300 pages.. LOL
I think, though many may disagree that ME:A was ruined by Anthem I think that is the white Elephant you are speaking of. It I think pulled to many people away from one of there best money making series, and in the process left a lot of Gap's in there production of ME:A. This was probably one of the most destructive things that happened to ME:A.
Most Of my friend's, and many of the thread's I read about ME:A tend to do a lot of complaining about there de-beautification of the romance character's, and player character. The animation problems seem to be just a complaint, and for the most part these for me were fix well enough. ( I have still occasionally seen the head twist around back wards which makes me laugh, but over all I thought these were taken care of.
However the de-beautification of the romance characters, and many of the clothing Options are what most everyone I talk to about it were truly upset about.
I think I can understand that as for me one of the best parts of the ME series was trying to manage your saved game's so you could do all the Romances, and replaying the game just to do that. I personally just never found the romances in ME:A to be as entertaining, Probably the only one that I felt My self that was reasonably fluffed out was the Jaal, the others seemed some what tacky, and did not feel right.
And I am sorry for drifting the the OP comments so far, but it does sort of pertain to this problem with The choices of Traditional Beauty, and realistic Beauty, or bulky armor, or eye candy Armor. When game's have the Romance options, and choice's to make in them.
I personally find it to be important, in my roll playing of a fantasy game ( pointing out the Fantasy part, as in my fantasy's the characters would be traditionally handsome, and Beautiful, with truly Evil Villain's, and maybe a side kick put in there for Comic relief
.)
