Have you check out the scene where Dom finds Maria in GoW2 yet?
Edit:
I read a blog recently about how more and more people were beginning to like some features of RPG games like leveling up, without actually liking RPG games in themselves. For instance good shooting mechanics with skill trees and that kind of stuff. That is what made ME2 a success. And that is what made Alpha Protocol, which in my opinion was very good game, a failure. So if someone can successfully combine the genres, like a good FPS game with not-too-watered- down RPG features, they'll hit a goldmine....and I am almost certain that ME3 will do just that.
