I only noticed a few. There was some tearing, but only toward the beginning of the game, and then only a few times. Characters did occasionally get caught on terrain and stuck, but the game usually fixed itself. Only one time did that cause trouble for me, on Feros. In that case I just reloaded my save and I was fine. I also thought the autosave was too sporadic, and so clicking "resume" on the main menu was almost always useless, since it was sometimes over an hour between saves. It would have been more of an issue if you couldn't save the game wherever you wanted.
Sometimes during conversations, your character would get stuck looking away from the one you were talking to. Again, just funny, and not really damagaing gameplay. Character voice volumes sometimes dropped really low. But I turn on subtitles anyway, so it didn't bother me.
So, a few glitches, but I've never seen a game that didn't have a few. Mass Effect, for the most part, seemed to avoid the worst kind of glitches (like camera-control glitches, which are some of the most frustrating). And what glitches it did have seemed managed by the game pretty well. I'm expecting Mass Effect 2 to fix most of those. Mostly I noticed that the game had a lot of the same glitches that KOTOR had :)
