Despite the fact that "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will be longer than "Mass Effect 3," it will be beginner-friendly. After all, some features are removed such as the Paragon/Renegade System from the other "Mass Effect" games.
Lead Designer Ian Frazier revealed on Twitter that players will simply need more days to complete the game. However, there is still no definite duration for game completion as Frazier did not offer any estimate about its length.

According to Game Rant, despite the extended playtime, "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will not have pointless side quests, as each will play a meaning to the story. It is promised by BioWare itself, pledging that they took some cues from "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" and other related games when the sci-fi game was being developed.
Also, the developer promised that there will be a fair amount of play time spent on romance opportunities on various companions. It offers a more diverse set of encounters, especially for players who appreciate both combat and roleplay mechanics.
Some of the more veteran players of the game have divisive opinions about the "Andromeda" game being beginner-friendly. Frazier said that the reason behind the decision is to give players a chance to just hop into the story without needing to play the trilogy beforehand.
@Groomster136 @masseffect Very beginner friendly. We want new players to be able to hop in to MEA easily without playing the trilogy first. — Ian S. Frazier (@tibermoon) February 22, 2017
