By removing them you would get mission after mission with just voice overs like in the fps or a wall of text at the start no one would read. Bioware has done the cinematic thing for years now, its their signature thing in their games (i.e ME), id much prefer if they bring back gsf ,small daily planets, more fps, ops and much more on important updates between expansions or an expansion that just focuses on these things rather than story like what they did with galactic starfighter.
