I can't see EA taking the time to craft a great RPG when they can just churn out some piece of crap and spend a trillion dollars on ads to secure sales. Hopefully some Bioware staff will splinter off and form a new company making great games. It’s more that it makes Mass Effect seem like a swansong for the Bioware we know.

It's coming out in roughly a month so they highly unlikely are going to be able to say much of anything about it beyond asking how final testing is going. Now, if we want to talk about games like Dragon Age.... It seems the popular comment to make is that EA would somehow be able to touch Mass Effect at this point.
