Hope they are better than Ubisoft Montreal. ;)

That's a tall order! Ubisoft Montréal is arguably Ubisoft's best studio!

Hopefully Bioware Montréal will do something great.

Yes.  Assuming they don't fuck it up.   Series ending aside, the series was great as far as I'm concerned...and they probably addressed the "lazy" parts of the ending enough with the re-release (I can't remember) for me to assume it was just a story direction that I (and everyone else) didn't like.  Fair enough.  I'd play a sequel for sure assuming it properly followed in the footsteps and continued the story.

Prequel?  Probably not.

No, please not a prequel. Prequels are generally stupid. We already know what happened.

I'm ok with prequels as long as they're done right. In this case though I don't think they'd need to stretch so far for a story, it's a pretty rich universe.

Just say no.
