This recalls me to what happened to s.t.a.l.k.e.r. series (I love that game):
The first one was a really good idea: desolation, good argument, the sensation of danger, the tension in the dark places, the realistic weapons (if you shoot the sniper in this game you'll know what I´m saying), the game was unique.
Then comes the first expansion, clear sky (prequel): They try to fix the combat system (in the first game the enemies can kick you a## like nothing) so they give a lot of new stuff: the options of modify any weapon, repair it, more factions to fight, etc. but they also give a lot more combat, and making the player join a faction and fight in a war between the differents groups, with this they forget a lot of things that makes stalker a great game: Desolation, in the first game you're always on your own, and it was your choice to help a faction or not. But the worst thing is that with this THEY KILLED STALKER. (And not only with all those huge bug that, ironically, made the combats worst than the 1° game)
But then they relased a new expansion, call of pripyat: Better that clear sky and (in moments) Shadow of chernobyl. It combines the best of the two games, the ambient of the first one and the improvements of weapons of the second one. And with new stuff: more enemies, new kinds of dangers in the zone (like the emisions). Making the game a nice experience.
For me This is what is happening in mass effect, the first one was a very good game, but it lacks in combat (For example I'm a shooter player so it gives me a lot of problems with the "R" because I used to press that button to reload a weapon and instead of it, shepard throws a grenade, jeje good times). In the second one the combats problems are fixed but a very good part of rpg elements are missing (but thanks god, for me, this game doesn't kill the mass effect saga like what happened with clear sky), So it's obvious that the next game will blend "the best of both worlds".
