User blog comment:Lancer1289/BioWare gets on the Multiplayer bandwagon/@comment-4048340-20111011232006

I have an almost half and half feeling on this, but for the most part from what I've seen I might actually like it.

I think that making the multi-player and galaxy at war modes optionally is actually still letting players have the free choice that Mass Effect gives us. I might go as far to say that it may give us even more options than we already have to decide how the trilogy ends. What I find most interesting about the multi-player is that not only do you create a new character from a different race you can choose different powers, progress in different ways and level up the way you want. The fact that they let create a character instead of giving you a pre-made one for the multi-player is another way to get submerged into the ME universe.

What makes me a little concerned is that multi-player can affect single-player gameplay, but if it's optional and if play it it'll probably metion that it will affect your single player campaign before starting it.

In short, I look forward to it.
