Yes Mass Effect is sort of short but I have been upset more by the lack of a modding tool. I know I was spoiled by Baldur's Gate, Knights of the Old Republic, and Neverwinter Nights but was miffed by the lack of tooling for Jade Empire and Mass Effect. Luckily Dragon Age, so far, has one.
The ability to have easily made community mods is what made good RPG games great, this is the failing of Mass Effect. Even a short game can be added to to make it great if you have a community get behind it.
