Well everything you listed in the OP has basically been confirmed as things that were core to their design philosophy from the get go.

So yes, I expect the same. A bigger, better, Mass Effect 1. Masterpiece or bust

YES!! x10 

ME3 should've been ME1 with ME2 controls. I still don't forgive them for those awful Ripper "fights".

Hoping for a good starting point to another trilogy. The game doesn't have to be ultimate perfection but have memorable characters, more RPG elements (ME3 did alright in this but ME2 almost got rid of it completely) and more flexible/fluid combat.

And better facial animations. Some of that shit is looking rough ._.

I expect a lot of memes made from this game, if they dont fix character facial expression

The same lame game design and incompetent writing they have had last 2 Bioware games.
