The Mass Effect trilogy are some of my favorite games, I love that they gave something as weird (and horrifying) as Cosmicism such prominence in the story. Best case scenario, we get a story as intelligent as ME1, combat as refined as ME2 and better exploration possibilities than the whole trilogy combined. Worse case scenario, "Oh no, we're trapped in another galaxy!", cue the Mass Effect version of Star Trek Voyager.
You're going to have some mention of it. You kind of have to really. I just hope it's set farther into the future so that the reapers are just lore/history instead of something fresh that has a big impact on the new story. From what I've read this seems more likely than anything else.
