Well, Baldur's gate technically had multiplayer, so it's not entirely unprecedented. I don't know anyone who ever actually used it though (other than to make the entire party yourself), nor indeed why you'd want it in a game built around interactions with NPC party members and a storyline focus.

In all honesty though, I suspect this is a result of pressure from EA. As is probably the case with ME's multiplayer.
