Actually, there is no comparison from ME to D&D 3e.  My group plays 3e
almost every week, and its fun, but.....unfortunatly most of my group does
not want to "branch out", all they want to do is D&D.  3e is a great
system, leaps and bounds over previous editions, streamlining the system
and allowing for more customization, no two fighters are the same anymore. 
HOWEVER, it is highly unrealistic, i fail to see how someone can get hit by
a sword 8 times, and still be just as effective with his own weapons.  ME
is great because combat, when it happens, is gritty and dangerouos, just
like real life.  In short, my life would be perfect if i could play D&D
twice a month, and ME twice a month!
