If that were the case with Dragon Age you would be running around killing Darkspawn while Marilyn Manson screams in the background his song "This is The New shit"
Trailers are meant to get you jazzed about a game, no matter what the cot. In the case of Mass Effect 2 it accomplished that.

This is the New Shit never came up in Dragon Age. I was thankful.
Instead, we get a stupid pop rock song played (twice) during the credits.
All the other music in the game was beautiful, though.
Back on topic... yes. Marvelous trailer. I wish most other trailers were half as good. I'm lookin' at you, MW2

I absolutely loved the original Mass Effect. I cannot wait for the second to hit the PC. I have already pre-ordered.
My only real complaint about Mass Effect was that you had to do the story in the order it was written. On top of that, where are all the Turian females? Not that I dislike the Turian males... but, there is a lot of missing sexes in that game.

Um what? You had to do your specific missions in any order you wished, as well you could choose not to do Virmire as the third mission but rather as the final one you undertake before going for the Conduit.
The game has to have a story and in order to make it sense at all, is to make the individual parts have at least some linearity plotline wise. Otherwise it's an RPG, the details are for you to provide.

Sorry, "story" was not the word I was looking for.
Anyhow, I found it quite agitating that the game ended after the final mission. Anything you missed on your first play through, well, you missed. Most games, Oblivion, GTA, etc., let you keep playing after the final mission.

Mass Effect isn't a sandbox game. That's the difference. RPGs back in the day, especially Bioware ones were filled with epic storylines that after they were completed, the hero rests and goes on adventuring into the world. Meaning the main storyline is complete and the hero is now a figment of legend now.
In this case Mass Effect ended in a cliffhanger with Shepard going off to find more about the Reapers. All your party members have plans on what they want to do. (Some were only sticking around just to fight Saren. Like Wrex and Tali). Tali in particular has to complete her pilgrimage and Garrus has to either rejoin C-Sec or become a Spectre.
Also, the game really doesn't have anything else to do besides it's subquests, even those are generic. So you would immediately get bored out of your mind after the story. With the second game they are remedying this however, and have indicated that Mass Effect 2 will be playable after the story.
It's one reason why I disliked Mass Effect's ending. At least with Deus Ex you already know it's impossible for JC Denton to continue being awesome after the story. I mean all of them pretty much decide the entire fate of the world and all impact it extremely.

The Asari are monogendered.
The Turian females were never finished. The same with Volus females, Salarian females and other Quarians. Volus and Elcor don't even have any other animations besides just standing.
