Mass Effect 3 - Video Interview @ Ripten

In this video interview Dave Oshry from Ripten talks to Casey Hudson from Bioware about the weapons in the game and how our characters will level up. Here's a quote from the text part:

Likewise, the skill trees are now deeper and more involved than ever before. Sure, you can still set Shepard and his crew to “auto-level” but why would you when you have all new levels of custmization that really allow you to get lost in the “choices” that make the Mass Effect series so much fun for fans of shooters and RPGs alike.

Hmm, is it just me but why is that bioware (and other 'major' studies) equate skill tress and weapons customisation = RGP winner??

Wanders off grumbling into grey beard….

The auto-level option is there because of their continued desire to get gamers from all genres and tastes to play the same game. That plan will never really work though and they should know that by now… they would do a lot better catering to a specific audience and budgeting accordingly.
