Conversations in the Mass Effect franchise have always been a large an integral part to the game, and the way that story of Commander Shepard has unfolded. Â Both Mass Effect 1 & 2 had plenty of scripted conversations with multiple ways to branch the story. Â In Mass Effect 3, Â Rob Blake of Bioware says that the game doubles the first two games with over 40,000 lines of dialogue.
@george_poliakov We do our best to keep consistency but it's tough with 40,000 lines! We've got new techniques on ME3 that improve it tho!

Quite a feat when you think about how deep the previous games were. Â Does this mean that Commander Shepard will have more choices in his quest to save the galaxy? Â Or is it just a function of the newly announced “Galaxy at War” mode that brings multiplayer to the Mass Effect franchise for the first time?
We’ll have to wait and see. Â Mass Effect 3 is due out in March of next year.
