To that end, Zeschuk explained that the game will feature just as much character development as previous BioWare games, as well as a strategic layer not unlike the party selection in Knights of the Old Republic. As in that game, in Mass Effect, gamers will choose only two teammates at any time, so you'll need to make the hard decision of which teammates to accompany your character, and then in practice, what tactics your three-person squad will use on the fly when trouble arises.
Muzyka then added that Mass Effect, in addition to emphasizing story and character development, will also attempt to revive the kind of open-ended exploration that longtime BioWare fans have greatly enjoyed in the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights games--your character will roam freely, after gaining possession of a rugged rover vehicle that will help you chart out new territory.
