I see where your friend is coming from, but an rpg needs to give you more than just a lot of inventory options. Like how Mass Effect 2 so perfectly did, it needs to give the player motivation, excellent story, and an infinite number of things to do. Mass Effect 1 may seem like it has more options, but it loses all luster with the very boring sidequests that are repeated far too many times. Mass Effect 2 gives even more options with all the different missions and paths you can take. ME2 FTW!
