Demi-God

Mal - The way they've said it is that the Action mode will automate the decisions and so on and focus more on the combat, the Story mode will dilute the combat for those who have problems and then the RPG mode will just involve both like a regular Mass Effect game. I don't think they'll have automated character progression, maybe party for the Story one.

The Action mode doesn't mean it will strip away the story completely, just give an automated one to take that burden off the player since frankly a lot of people don't give a shit, and they have no reason to do so. Even if it's an automated story, doesn't mean people won't pay attention to it, it just turns it into a normal type game with a set story. Those are all 3 options that I sometimes would love to be able to pick in some games and defines a lot of players out there at the moment.

This way they cater to a wiiide variety of people without sacrificing the quality of the full game that people have come to expect from them. This type of stuff should be encouraged, at least you're not getting shafted like with some games that don't even offer the options.
