Annoys me too. Ignorning badgenome basically owning the thead I'll inform you that apparently Bioware couldn't get the animation for it into memory (according to what I read here on the factually accurate internet) - which somewhat blows my mind given the same animation is in 1 & 2 on the same platforms on presumerably less optimized code too.
I presume they also had to skimp a bit on the running animation to get it into memory - such as removing half the frames needed to make it actually look like someone running.
No idea where the memory has gone - maybe they increased the overhead on memory elsewhere but it's an odd one.
I take the view Shepard is so at war in this one he has no time for putting away his gun and chatting - except he clearly does and the Reapers seem oddly content to fail to actually conquer anything while I toddle around the galaxy performing said chatting - and side missioning. Of course maybe I'll pay for this later... who knows.
But I nitpick. Mass Effect (like most RPGs I guess) seems addicted to the idea you need an imperative, no time to lose main plot that you spent a fair chunk of the game actively ignoring or taking your time getting around to |
If I remember it was because of the PS3. And because they added a rolling animation.
This doesn't paricularly make sense to me, but I remember bioware confiming this on twitter. If I remember they said they were going to include the best elements of the hammerhead and mako in this game to though >_<.

Yeah but I'm on PC - I mean they couldn't spend another $50 adding a key to put away your gun? It probably will be DLC! Or someone will work out a mod maybe.
For a supposedly AAA franchise it's a wee bit odd - but hardly a deal breaker I guess.
Until then I'll continue to "be at war" at all times with gun ready. Or maybe Shepard wants to be constantly on guard against people making fun of his gait.
