Mass Effect News, Walkthrough, and Screenshots

In a recent interview, one of Bioware’s senior Mass Effect developers Matt Atwood said “I love the individual squad command. If you play with the individual squad control, it’s a deeper tactical game—it has more impact than I think people realize. As is the hot keys for the biotic powers. You can really play it more action style.”

Since when did Mass Effect go from being an RPG to an action game? I hadn’t quite thought about the idea of having hot keys all over the keyboard to control your skills, such as warp or throw. Having hot keys will really speed up the game. And just like Atwood said, you can play it more action style.

Part of what I love about Mass Effect is that you should take your time playing the game. You need to be careful and plan your tactics. With the hotkeys on the PC, I’m worried some people will play the game as a run and shoot game and just breeze right through it.
