''Well with most RPGs, you create the character yourself. Near the end Shepard increasingly felt like his/own character rather than one I created.''

I don't know whether I'd agree that this actually happened (which is why I think people missed my point by focusing on the nightmare stuff), but it's exactly what I'm arguing against having happen either way.

Milkman, what is it you actually wanted in terms of "character development"?
