Are you sure you played many RPGs? Mass Effect doesn't even come close to being a great RPG. Story-wise it's good, but it's shit compared to the masterpiece stories of Planescape: Torment, Fallout 1&2 and Baldur's Gate 2.
My main complaint of Mass Effect is the length. I finished it on my first time well below 15h, around 12h (very very short). The game's replay value is decent, but when you compare to games to other wRPGs it also comes short.
'The Witcher' IMO is a better game, which also was released last year, and beats Mass Effect to the throne of best RPG of 2007. Even 'NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer' would have beaten ME if it wasn't for the fact that it's an expansion pack.
