Well, there's only so much you can do with a video game story...
No there's not only "so much you can do" you can do absolutely anything, including but not limited to hiring writers that are actually really great and creative.
A lot of people say that about many of the blockbuster movies that are released, though.
Are you saying that the gaming industry is devoid of good writers or that BioWare doesn't hire any? Either way, that doesn't bode well for the current trend of blockbuster games.
Bioware has already fabricated a pretty freakin huge universe for ME, the problem with blockbuster movie expanding is any hired writers are either too lazy or cautious to create new material. Where the ME universe has plenty of it, noticed it midway through ME1 when i decided that there is no way that they would focus this much detail into just an installment, or two, or three, but MANY to come.
but please, i don't want the literal tons of unmonitored expanded universe like SW, that kind of crap will run this beautiful series dry.
