Yep, Jackie even liked doing the decisions for the dialogue decision tree sequences, though on the day she went to babysit for her brother it was one of the things she acted like she didn't like. I don't like the Asari either, they're just weird, but every game has its faults and Mass Effect is a game that has more bathwater than I'd like but far more baby to outweigh the bathwater by far. Perhaps if there were a better "choose your story" space opera game like it, I'd go with that, but Mass Effect is one of the best games ever made still regardless of its faults. The phrase "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" really applies here, and with most things in this fallen world, but it is a mostly good game despite junk that should have been left out.
