Xbox – In Mass Effect 3, I did not get a choice of game mode; is it because I imported a ME2 character

mass-effect-3xbox-360

I just started a new game in Mass Effect 3, on the Xbox 360, by importing my existing ME2 character.

I have just witnessed the attack on the council at the very start, and now just got to the point where I can bring up the in-game menu.

I have not yet seen a choice of game mode (i.e. action, role playing, or story), as advertised for the game.

Was that choice made for me when I imported? If so, what am I actually playing? I'm hoping role playing (which was my intent), but how can I verify this?

If you import an ME2 character you automatically use the roleplaying mode (the one with combat and dialog choices), only if you create a new character do you get the choice in the beginning. The roleplaying mode is the one closest to how the previous Mass Effect games worked, so the game assumes that players that import a character would like to play that mode.
