So wait, Karpyshyn is done with the Mass Effect trilogy?
And, I guess the MMO thing is best suited for another thread - but the very fact that you have servers and instances makes any sort of story-based MMO seem irrelevant. And if the point is that there are great individual experiences, why make an MMO in the first place? Oh right, because you can't milk 15 bucks a month in a single player RPG.
It's like LoTR Online, where when the game launched you had people lined up in front of Stryder waiting for the same exact quest. You're all special Hobbits because it'd be lame if you were just stuck in the Shire making pies.
I don't know. I think of it like this - what if they made a Mass Effect MMO? Mass Effect is wrapped around the fact that "you" are the first human Spectre in the universe. That's just something that can translate into an MMO. There's no way to make one player "special" without alienating the rest of the player base.
Would I play a Mass Effect universe MMO? Sure. As long as they finish with the Shepard storyline and let me do what I want to do with that, I'll be happy playing generic human super soldier #4452323. That's essentially how I feel about KoTOR.
Anyway, the Ubisoft conference blows. Cameron spent 20 minutes pimping Avatar... without showing the game... and they rolled out Pele to talk about some soccer game... without showing the game. This is why I don't watch this stuff live.

Dead Space is brilliant - unwrap that shit man!
