They also forced the team to make the game on the Frostbite engine (despite them having a terrible experience while making DA:I) and the team had to construct tools from scratch (Frostbite is built for FPS games, not TPS RPGs).

Hence EA being EA as the problem.

They put out eventually good stuff, but usually get in the way of their teams through ridiculous demands.

I find with EA the marketing department has to much say with what goes on with development when they should really just be focused on selling the games and providing devs with research and let the devs decide what to do with it.

Well not just the marketing. Just the general hierarchy of EA. Since the marketing department doesn't necessarily have control over project team staffing or budgeting. Their marketing team is definitely an issue, but it's not the core issue.

The original Mass Effect is one of my favorite games ever

I sincerely hope Bioware makes a follow up to Andromeda. Even though it wasn't the best ME game I think they could still improve on the framework, the environments were super cool even if the story fell a bit flat (to me personally.)

And I liked a lot of the new cast too!
