I was also wondering why Kaidan didn't use any of his super cool biotic powers when attacked on Horizon...it doesn't seem like him to just blindly start shooting like that, when I heard that the Ashley scenario is pretty much indentical, well.....there ya' go, that cookie cutter thing again....couldn't have Kaidan use his biotics, because then they'd have to make an entirely (well mostly) different bit for Ashley and why spend the time doing that when these folks are only going to be in the game itself for such a short time? 
I don't know.....I'm just a little dissapointed and REALLY hoping that things are different in ME3...I realize that it might be quite a bit more work...
I think you're dead on! But this line: "...I realize that it might be quite a bit more work..." bothers me becouse I think that's exactly the problem here.
Let's get right on the money here, we're not talking about charity work! They have a huge fanbase becouse they have always released good, complete and quality games. If they start releasing sub-standard material all of the sudden then I'm sorry, I don't care for the reasoning. And again, in the long run, it
will hurt their market position.
ME2, and the expansion on DA (so I hear) are both full of short-cuts and cheap solutions. Come on Bioware, there are tons of mediocre game houses out there of wich nobody remembers their name, don't become them! Don't go EA on us!
If my family visits the same grocery store for 20 years becouse they sell quality, we're still going to go somewhere else the second their quality is gone.
