Mass Effect: Universe reportedly planned timelines shaped by earlier choices

In Rock Paper Shotgun's account, BioWare technical director Romain Toutain described a Mass Effect: Universe system for generating timelines from earlier choices and combined saves. Insider Gaming reports the game was canceled. If a player killed a character needed for a later mission, designers could keep the mission completable or let it fail. Toutain said the system worked well despite being difficult to set up, but it was never a released feature.
