AFAIK they've decided that the D20 system will be used for all their RPGs 
from now on. The new Star Wars RPG uses it, for example (with some silly 
rules being carried over from D&D -- for example, you _can't_ shoot anyone 
from less than 2 m away; this sort of makes sense with a bow, but not with a 
blaster pistol...) and so does their version of the Dune RPG, for the rights 
to which they bought Last Unicorn, as I recall.

In short: _if_ WotC were to publish ME, it'd use D20 rules, which I don't 
think would do it justice...

> Sorry for the silly question.

Don't apologize, it's not as if you've done anything wrong :)
