If there were going to be anything of that nature, it would've been announced at E3. EA probably has committed to a calendar year of support for glitch patches but that 1.06 patch is, I would wager, the last dollar that is going to be spent on any degree of 'enhancement' for Andromeda. BioWare's entire energy is focused on having the Anthem launch be a success. ME:A is dead.

Thanks for the heads-up...
I would agree that for XBO-X, "Anthem" would be a showcase for it.
ME:A is well in the past...

In stating what we already knew
Mass Effect: Andromeda' won't get more single-player content
The game had a nice story line and potential, but bugs, poor design and stumbling out of the gate with a product with bugs it had, was too much. Game developers were getting lazy thinking they could just roll out a buggy product and patch later. BioWare was burned with this mentality and now the ME franchise took a major hit.

Playing it even with the first patch to fix animations, I'm catching some background characters doing "silly walks"... 😉
My take:
The environments are gorgeous, looks great. The animations are horrendous, even after the patches. The dialog and acting is bad. BioWare only did a half-*** effort.
Not bad, though, for the $11 I paid...
Started ME: Andromeda this weekend. Only a few hours in, but actually enjoying it! Some of the facial animations are a little awkward, but they did a pretty good job introducing the characters and building the setting.
I set my expectations low, but so far I think it's good. Looking forward to play more!

Wow, Its now November, you started this thread in March, why the delay?
The game wasn't bad by my estimation. Wasn't great, but I think the developers did whiff in a number of ways that seemingly sunk the franchise, at least for now.

I didn't play it, but I did watch the entire thing as my partner plays it. It was by no means a bad game, but it wasn't as good as it could've been. For whatever reason, it got a really bad reputation for being buggy (which it was), and having awkward animations (which it had). But if those same rules were applied to Fallout, then nobody would ever by another Bethesda developed game again. So I do think it was treated harshly compared to what other games get away with.
Haha, backlog and two small children (1 and 3) caused the delay! I’ll probably finish this game in two years!

I was shocked earlier this month when it got an update - only a 4K update - we may never know what happened to the Quarians.
It has moved back into my revisit pile. If you haven't done it already, find a place where you can stand on the ship - made me laugh.

Kallo says something if you do it. He only does it one time but it made me laugh. I jumped on it when it was landed on the first planet during the first mission - you are also able to climb on top after you settle that outpost.
I was completely thrown off by the voice of the first Krogan we meet on the Nexus (Kesh?). My wife and I were shocked how effeminate it sounded, expecting the typical deep raspy Krogan snarl.
Turns out that character is female! 🙄 The game did not make that clear to me at all, I just read it on a website!
