Bioware might as well come out and say that they no longer want to make RPGs anymore. Most of their games, while not bad, have been slowly changing and becoming more like everything else. I think in a few years, the "Bioware namesake" will go the way of the dodo.
I'm sure Mass Effect 3 will be great, I'm just not a fan of the homogenization of original games into the "more popular" appease-the-masses model. Why does a "shooter" have to be like "the top name shooters"? The top-name shooters generally suck anyway. I'm sorry, but if anyone thinks the "top-name" shooters are cutting-edge.. ugh, just ugh.
