Beta got accidentally uploaded to Xbox Live Marketplace before getting quickly taken down but enough time passed for screen shots to be taken.
It appears some people noticed the conversation trees can be skipped or automated for responses instead of having to manually make a choice in the previous games.
Bioware confirmed there are now 3 modes for gameplay. They also confirmed the leak occurred on Microsoft's side of the servers.

One feature that was present in this early build is a set of game play modes that are in development. In the beta code they are referred to as "action mode", "story mode" and "RPG mode". We want to stress that these features are still in the early stages of development and will receive considerable iteration and refinement. These modes are designed to give players an even finer degree of control over their game experience than ever before. Whether it be someone who finds the combat difficult but wants to experience the amazing story, someone who wants to focus on the action and combat game play, or fans who want the rich, story-driven RPG Mass Effect experience they've come to love – Mass Effect 3 will support all of these options. We'll have more info in the days ahead!"
