lol, this is NOT a problem, its a (very good) design choice made by Bioware.
Mass Effect has a "film grain" filter. Just like in the movie "300".
They added this graphical noise by purpose.
This makes the experience more rich, realistic, just like a real movie.
I love it.
I played a few minutes without the filter (you can choose your filter in the options) and I went back to the film grain filter, it is much better. Stronger atmosphere, difficult to describe, I'm just happy it doesn't look like a typical 3D game with shinny plastic surfaces.
Thanks Bioware, you're the best!
THEY BETTER KEEP THIS FEATURE IN MASS EFFECT 2!!! Or else, I'm gonna cry in a dark corner... :)
So, short answer:
1- Everything is OK in your living room.
2- Mass Effect is unique.
