The human element: 100% agree with this point. I think the characters are even more humanized in ME3. In ME1 except Liara or Garrus the rest of the cre'ws personality are very poor. Still you get engaged about the genophage trough your chats with Wrex and I felt sad hearing Tali's history. In Me2 the characters are greatly builded (except jacob) with their own phantoms and fears. You talk to them and get involved not only in their loyalty quests but also with their feelings and you can extrapolate all them to real human people: Mordin is like a retired nazi whose early atrocities haunt him, Garrus is a man tired of laws who delivers justice by himself, Zaeed is like a Vietnam veteran turned into a mercenary tired of everything... In Me3 it gets an even higher level and for me its because a fact that most people hate: The conversations between the crew members. Joker and Garrus telling jokes, Javik's dialogues with the crew, Legions' talks with tali and EDI... priceless. So yes Me3 characters are the most human ones I found in a videogame wich makes me more angry when I know nothing about them since Shepard is hitted by Harby's stun laser.
