Out of curiosity, did you play ME3's multiplayer? I've always been reluctant to play multiplayer games for the reasons you mentioned. I don't want to have to listen to racist, homophobic, sexist, little dipshits or people trolling me.

But ME3 didn't have that. Friendly fire was off. You could only hear other plays if you were in an Xbox Live party with them. And even if your kills got stolen, you would still get assist points.
