Mass Effect Interview

GamersGlobal has kicked up a short interview with BioWare's Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk about the newly released Mass Effect. Some interesting questions:
GG: Mass Effect takes many gameplay features and philosophies from Knights of the Old Republic. What is, in your opinion, the most important difference compared to KotOR?

Greg Zeschuk: The sense of scale is certainly the biggest difference between Mass Effect and KotOR. The Mass Effect galaxy is positively enormous, with literally hundreds of locations to explore across numerous planets and star systems. If you were to take the time to play all the side missions and explore all the uncharted locations in the Mass Effect galaxy, you could easily double the amount of time it would take you to play the core storyline alone. There are just so many interesting places to go and things to do in Mass Effect! This combined with the stunning cinematics and morally challenging decisions really helps demonstrate BioWare's evolution into the next generation.
