Mass Effect Community Q&A

BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestly stopped by the official Mass Effect forums to post the team's answers to several questions posed by the community.
Q: The one problem I had with JE was that the RPG parts didn't feel as deep as previous games. Was still a great game, but that stuff still bothers me. So my one question is a big one (to me), what I've seen so far is great but just how deep are the RPG elements in ME?

A: The role playing game element of BioWare games is among the most important features of our games. It is one of the things that BioWare is known best for. The Mass Effect team has kept this in mind as they have created the game trying to make the game as immersive and enjoyable as possible. To what extent they have succeeded will be up to the individual player, so you'll need to make up your own mind on how well they did.
