Action mode placed over RPG mode? Really?

FIRST OFF, I UNDERSTAND THE OPTIONS ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. SO STOP TRYING TO INSULT ME. I ALREADY KNOW THAT

When I played the demo, I realized the order that the campaign modes are placed in. I wasn't too estatic over the multiple modes, but I don't understand why Bioware decided to put action mode above RPG mode. Even if they were trying to put them in alpha. order, it doesn't seem like the right choice. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.

Let's say you have someone playing ME3 as their first ME game. When they see the mode screen, they won't know the original way to play Mass Effect 3. These days, some gamers are very quick about starting games, so they may not read what the other modes have to offer. They may pick Action mode simply because it's the first option, and they will end up missing out on everything that ME3 has to offer. The worst part is that Action mode has become the default mode for the single player aspect of the game. RPG mode should be the default mode (Since ME is an RPG) and should be placed above the other modes, thay way, newcomers know exactly how to get the complete experience. It seems as if the RPG aspect is diminishing already based on the gameplay. Adding action mode over the rest just makes it seem that action>rpg elements. 

I understand that the list of modes is in alphabetical order, but they still don't give any indication of the traditional way to play ME3. Since some people won't be bothered with reading the descriptions, they will just pick action mode. Here's a good fix to the issue. If Bioware doesn't change the order, they could at least make RPG mode the default mode, or place a tag next to RPG mode that recommends that players choose RPG mode

What if they designed the game around Action Mode? Maybe they chose it to be first, because it is the default mode that they intended the game to be played in?

That's it. I'm taking a break from BSN. I have heard many different and stupid complaints over the past week, but this one takes the cake.

Why can't they make the middle option the default? Keep them in alphabetical order by all means, but I agree, the RPG mode is the standard mode and should be made default.

I hope you're joking.

Quantity over quality.

Action games just sell more than RPGs, besides, they killed off the RPG elements in ME2 anyway. All thats left is the hollow shell of being a "roleplay" as shepard, but its really a 3rd person shooter now.

If someone new to ME just starts clicking buttons, then chances are they will also want to be playing action mode. RPG players tend not to struggle with menus.

On the PC, it goes:

Action Mode
RPG Mode
Story Mode

I figured they were just listing it alphabetically. :P

Most people play games for action; Bioware makes Role Playing games though. It's probably for people who are just playing the game to play a game to not have to look too much for something that consists of mostly shooting.

I think that would be a little too logical for OP.

i dont care what order it is, that seems childish to let something small like this get to you, pick how you want to play me3 and move on. i remember from me1 that this game was orginaly mostly RPG and thats why i liked it. so you better belive im gona pick my story line to be RPG base. pick what you like and have fun.

Anyone too stupid to read the options is going to want to play Action mode anyway, so what's the problem?

Possibly, but IIRC the histories weren't listed as such. And Sheploo's background (Earthborn, Sole Survivor) are highlighted regardless of order.

But honestly...it's not that big an issue.

Please complain about graphics, story and animations.
But this is really ridiculous, putting a tinfoil hat.

I know that they wanted to do it in alphabetical order, but they could at least give an indication of the original way to play ME3, so newer people don't miss out on anything.
