This thread will be the official place for discussing news, posting any related media, and just general chat about the amazing upcoming game Mass Effect.
We've seen the demo footage, but now there is new footage of the game that includes vehicle combat.

You can find both the X06 demo footage and the new MTV Exclusive footage in that link.
Mass Effect is an RPG sci-fi epic where you play Commander Shepard, the commander of a ship called the Normandy. An ancient machine race wiped out all civilizations 50, 000 years ago. Now, they're coming back. Interact with various alien species, command a ship, and travel across a galaxy to find a way to stop the coming destruction.
You can create Commander Shepard crom the ground up, making the character male or female, whichever you please. Or you can select a pre-made character. Play your part in RPG dialogue that looks alot like cut scenes. You can even interrupt other characters and grab them if the option is available. You can choose to bribe characters or threaten them, as seen in previous media for the game.
The area that you can travel seems to be huge. You can travel across the galaxy, visiting planets and even asteroids. Not everything is connected to the main story, there will be sub plots to explore.
Take your crew down to a planet in your buggy, driving it across the surface. You can even use it to shoot the enemy. Take part in strategic combat, switching between members of your crew or telling your crew where to go and what to do.
Here is the Mass Effect FAQ, with lots of interesting info.

One thing I am looking forward to, is that they promise to release two sequels to the game. And you can use your created character from the first game for these sequels! Plus, like Oblivion, they will be releasing content in between the games. You know, probably stuff like extra missions and more planets.
