An interview on Ten Ton Hammer chats with Michael Gamble about Mass Effect 3, the coming installment in BioWare's action/RPG series. Topics include carryovers from Mass Effect 2, changes in gameplay mechanics, weapons and upgrades, renegade and paragon choices, abilities, the increased emphasis on action, and this answer about DLC plans:

We are starting to do DLC. Mass Effect 2 DLC was amazing. Overlord, Shadowbroker, Rival, all those patches were really hard hitting packs, and people appreciated it. Because of that, because people appreciated it and will come back to Mass Effect 3, we think it’s a good idea to do it. But at the same time, we haven’t shipped the game yet. Obviously, all our attention is going into shipping the game and making as much content as we can and stuffing it all on the disc before we ship. Once we ship, then we’ll talk about DLC.
