The characters? I understand it's a matter of taste, but characters in Mass Effect for me were absolutely dreadful, and I usually enjoy Bioware NPCs a great deal.

The characters themselves were pretty standard-fare, but they made sense and carried what they needed to, quite well.

AP, as you say, is a matter of taste - and I didn't find a single character interesting or appealing.
