Additional Note from Derek French:

The Mass Effect Config program will automatically adjust your settings on first run, to attempt to give you an optimal play experience. As with all PC games, computer performance varies from system to system and adjustments can be made via the Config or through the in-game options to tailor your experience.

Twelve gigabytes of space should be something that most everyone that has played Oblivion should be used to thanks to all of the mods that they might be running, but there you have it. With a customized interface catering specifically to PC-styled controls to go along with the above, it looks like Bioware is determined to keep this port from being afflicted with consolitis.
