OXM UK: "Mass Effect was a role-playing game with a shooter component. Mass Effect 2 was a shooter with an RPG component. Is Mass Effect 3, then, just a plain old shooter? No, says BioWare marketing boss David Silverman. The third in the epic space-faring series places more emphasis on player choice and customisation than its predecessor."
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

The game will flop
I think Mass Effect 1 and 2 are OUTSTANDING, and I can't fathom 3 drifting away from that trend. Admittedly I'm not exclusively an RPG fan saying that Bioware has turned on me. Deus Ex and Mass Effect are more than "just shooters" and anyone that says otherwise is fucking stupid.
Say what you will, but I'll still call ME:2 a RPG with shooter elements like ME1. I know of what they stripped and I was disappointed at a few things, but playing the "role" of your character and seeing the choices you make from 1 affect the galaxy around you.
Certainly loot and other mechanics are important to an RPG, but I'll still hold story, characters, the choices you make as the key to RPG's. If that wasn't the case, Borderlands would be considered more of an RPG than ME:2 which I find to be untrue.
Its about time somebody comes out with an articles explaining this. Yes they are not toning down the action and shooting elements but that doesnt mean the RPG elements are more streamlined.. Its better than ME2 in terms of those elements
Of course it will be more RPG-oriented, it would be impossible to be any LESS
