Mass Effect Andromeda - I'm not Commander Shepard and this is my favorite sequel

I enjoyed Andromeda but I felt they missed a lot of possibilities to do something different. Here we were in a totally new galaxy with all that could entails and we end up with a mundane run of the mill invasion story where the Milky Way races become the Great White Saviours.

Where was the sense of wonder? There should have been abandoned derelict spaceships, mysterious outposts, space anomalies, space monsters, all there to explore?

What about running into traders and pirates, con men and slavers, all sorts of types you could run into? Why not an Andromeda Harry Mud or Han Solo or Malcom Reynolds or Blackbeard?

Where were the worlds with a variety of intelligent alien life - some tribal, some advanced, some trusting, some hostile, some that see you as gods, some that see you as food, some that see you as invaders, etc.

I am still waiting for this game.
