[No spoilers] I finished Andromeda fairly early on, and haven't replayed it.. barely even opened it again.

Kind of a silly point tbh.

ME1's choices include:

A) which squadmate to sacrifice

B) how to resolve the Wrex confrontation

C) whether to sacrifice the council

D) whether to extinguish the Rachni

Every one of those choices feels weightier than anything we face in MEA. Voeld AI comes the closest but we have no clue regarding the Angara's history with AI (and the Angara are pretty boring generally) so the decision feels meaningless (not to mention it is buried in a side quest). None of the decisions have any emotional pull to them, Dravk's scouts come the closest and even then it's a shameless riff on the Virmire confrontation without any of the same tension.

A better decision might have been that Liam is brought before Tann to account for his recklessness in endangering the Initiative and you have to choose whether or not to exile him. That's a real decision and would tie in nicely into the loyalty mission.

There are never any "hard" decisions where you feel like you lost something. Like Jaal's decision is so dumb -- it should be that either you save Jaal but don't shoot the guy and the Roekarr become more aggressive and that influences things on Aya or you shoot the guy and the Roekarr are extinguished but Jaal is mad at you. As it stands it's a painfully easy decision
