GB: Can you give us a brief overview of the game's character creation system? From what we've heard so far, it sounds like you're going to be allowing for much more customization than we've seen in your past games when it comes to the overall look of a character.

Greg: Mass Effect’s character creation system is fundamentally based on customization: you’ll be able to customize many visual elements of your character before you start the game, and during the game your character’s appearance will change based on the type of armor and equipment being used. In addition to visual customization we’ve got a deep role playing system in Mass Effect that players will also use to further differentiate their character – because it is squad-based game we are aiming for significant differences between characters to fulfill our goal of a strongly tactical combat system where success will depend on the type of characters you’re using and the actions you chose!
