Booo. I don't trust them to handle the Mass Effect universe. Not to mention the entire point of Bioware games is player choice, and that has zero player choice. Idk, maybe first contact war or something, things that are already set in stone - but I don't trust anyone to handle my baby anymore

Amazon did very well with The Expanse and Fallout, they could pull this off.

With Expanse they kinda just financed the production that was already running, no?

Thougj that's beside the point. Amazon does have some good stuff and while scepticism is warranted, I try to stay a cautious optimist until some bad signs appear.

They also gave us Halo though

That was Paramount.

I feel like they're not very comparable. Production really screwed over Halo in a way that never could have happened to Fallout because of how protective of the IP Todd Howard was. Only time will tell if the same issues plague Mass Effect as did Halo.

Beyonce could have done the soundtrack

The Wheel of Time and Tolkien fan fiction say Hello

Is The Wheel of Time bad? It looks interesting to me...

Imagine The CW's "it's not a soap opera for young adults we swear" TV writers got hold of a beloved fan favorite fantasy series and decided to rewrite it for TV

Just stay far the fuck away from the games main storyline. At best, vague references to Shepard. There's no way to do that right without alienating the existing fanbase(though I know, they don't care about us).
