a novel, movie, video game, or any other kind of artistic medium gives its creator the right to handle it as he (or she) sees fit.

I agree with you there. However, Mass Effect is commoditized art, which follows slightly different rules: You have to give me a reason to want to buy your art, and the art had better deliver on the reasons you give me for buying it. On that, BioWare failed to deliver.
