suggesting like the next mass effect be sold or made in many DLC or in smaller storyline chapters.

may be that way the community could influence the story line more or a little bit.

more money for bioware and ea. a more interesting and likeable story for the community.

with spacing between chapters like 1-1.5 or 2 years depending on length of chapters?

Companies are expected to get an entire game out in two years, not a damn chapter. You wait two years between chapters, you'll have a game a decade out of date at the end.

No, thanks.

I never bought episodic game until all episodes were out and I especially don't want it in RPG genre.

I'm afraid this would not work. Consider LotSB. Or Arrival. Or any of the DLC in ME2. When you get to ME3 the writers have to take into account that many people may a) not have owned ME2 at all, or B) if they did they did not have these DLC. Then what happens to your scripts? They become even more complicated trying to keep track of all the variables. It also means later stories become less understandable because players may not have the background material that is implicitly included in the story they are currently playing because it references DLC material they never owned.

Let me give an example of that last point. When TIM say "I've been fighting the reapers longer than you can imagine," my only thought was, "No, sorry. I have know about the Reapers longer than you have." Then I found out there is some comic or novel, or something, where it turns out TIM was exposed to some reaper tech around the time of the first contact war. All the sudden his statement might have made sense. But it didn't make any sense until I learned about that content. Certainly nothing in ME3 explained how TIM's statement could possibly be true.

No thanks. I'd rather Bioware take a page from 343i and give us a finished game and the Spartan ops-like DLC to bridge the gap between games

Agreed. Spartan ops for Halo 4 was masterfully done. 

No episodic content only. Works for walking dead. 

Not an action RPG/TPS/Space opera like Mass Effect.

With what I have encountered with episodic games is I wouldn't enjoy the game at all. It makes the game feel really small and contained more so then what I have encountered so far in Mass Effect.

If they made episodic content to compliment the game instead of DLC I would be definitely interested in something like that.
