Bioware: Mass Effect 3 is not just shooting

Bioware is aware of fan concerns that all of the developer videos and trailers for Mass Effect 3 feature the third person shooter combat, and very little of the roleplaying and dialog. Co-founder Ray Myzuka has told NowGamer in an interview that he wants to allay fan worries.

Myzuka stated, ”I think the perception is that they want more RPG elements. We have to address that and the thing is, we are.”

”We took that feedback to heart. As great a game as Mass Effect 2 is, and we’re really proud of it, there’s always opportunity to improve. So in Mass Effect 3,” Myzuka added, ”We’re improving the moment to moment action. We are improving that but we also are improving the RPG elements too so there’s more customisation, aggression options, more interesting choices, the tactical choices, the weapon modification… you can make Shepard the way you want him to be.”

”That personalisation, along with choice, is really the essence of RPGs.”

Mass Effect 3 will be released in April 2012 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
