I completely agree, first contact war would be very interesting, I wouldn't want to go even more into the future so that it turns into god damn star wars shooting blue or red^^
So you want Mass Effect to turn into a sandbox MMORPG? I would like to slap you in the face, but you have a right to your own oppinion
Mass Effect 2 is to many the most amazing and awe-inspiring RPG ever made, I am one of those^^
