There seem to be three settings available for how conversations are handled in Mass Effect 3.
Full Decisions: 'You are required to respond to all conversations; No choices are made for you.'
This is the defaut option for RPG and Story, it seems. The only difference between RPG and Story modes is the starting difficulty (though both can obviously be changed later).
This is the system from ME/ME2.
Major Decisions: 'Most conversations are played out using default conversation responses but you are given conversation reply options to make major game decisions.'
Judging from the demo, this is the default option for Action mode. Cinematics progressed fluidly but the dialogue wheel still popped up in scenes that required a decision that would affect anything (I'd guess Paragon and Renegade decisions, story choices, romances, etc). In the demo scene I watched, the player in Action mode was able to ask Kirrahe about Virmire, similar to people playing on RPG or Story.
Since there were no actual "choices" in any of the demo footage (all of the conversation branches were cosmetic and seemed to have no lasting effects on the story), it's difficult to tell what the game considers a 'major' decision.
Well I guess that's alright if that's what the default for Action Mode is.
Though I get a bad feeling this will be the default for new players who hastily select things. IMHO RPG Mode should really be the default. I also dislike the name as I feel it is misleading. Thinking of myself if I started ME3 fresh I'd probably pick Action Mode without knowing any better or thinking RPG Mode was more cumbersome. I'd re-name the Modes:
RPG Mode: Regular Mode
Action Mode: Limited Mode
Story Mode: Casual Mode
I feel those would be better titles as they are more accurate.

This isn't a default mode, it has to be switched on by the player after they start the game (it looks like). Automates all conversations and all decisions, and plays out cutscenes like a movie. I guess if you just wanted to sit back and watch Shepard do their thing?
Again, all of this is subject to change - but it's interesting nonetheless. I'll be playing 'Full Decisions'.
There's actually a Movie Mode?
Not sure who'd want to play that way. Can only see people who post playthru videos on the web using something like this. I dunno I play games to play games, not sit with a controller idle in my hand.
