No More Waiting in Elevators in Mass Effect 2

The notoriously lengthy elevator sequences in Mass Effect were a way for BioWare to circumvent loading screens. However, at a Comic-Con panel back in July, executive Mass Effect 2 producer Casey Hudson joked, "We have the fastest elevators in the industry." "The elevators were made in ME1 so we didn't have to show boring loading screens," wrote associate programmer Thomas Roy in recent ME2 official message board post.
