I don't think Taking by the horns is the right word for it, More like Manipulating their Puppet, Because they are, EA has puppeteer'ed Bioware after the Sucess of ME2, I have no doubt that it was some EA Corporate moron who was behind the delay of ME3, Bioware stated that the delay was mainly to make it fun for a more broader audience, fancy words for "Action Mode", no emphasis on story/roleplay/whatever, and they just converted the game into a shooter with no dialogue options.

I'm not even a Roleplay geek, I mostly look down on those people, I prefered action games, but taking the decision making out of that is like taking Ironsighting in most of the mainstream FPS games, I gaurentee you that given the opportunity, people of all playstyles would want to make in game decisions that they agree with, rather than be forced to follow a linear path.
