if its something like awakening where your stucked with your worst companion , i pass.

[Ryzaki]

Yes. Do want. Though not like Awakening. Please not like awakening.

[Burdokva]

No. Mass Effect is a trilogy. Like movies. Don't cut it to pieces, and waste resources. Plus, it would make that much harder for ME3 to warp things up properly. I'd rather see an outstanding full-blown trilogy closing chapter than a rushed expansion midways through.

[billywaffles]

Instead of 50 DLCs? Hell yeah!

[Throw_this_away]

I would like to see on big expansion... that combines the Hammerhead with squad based combat... and with a story. 10 hours a gameplay would be great.



In reality, it will probably be more combat than story heavy as getting the voice actors is what costs money.

I want an expansion for ME2 about as much as I want my wife to invite Jessica Alba and Jennifer Love Hewitt over for a friendly naked pillow fight. Nope, scratch that - I want an expansion more than that.

[Sgt Lindog]

one word: yes!

[RohanDaKitty]

Yes. An expansion would be epic. But I think it would have to be different, unique even experimental in a sense. For example, there's two years between ME1 and ME2. I'd be happy to save my beloved Commander Shep for ME3 and play as say, Garrus, following him after the events of ME1.

I think it'd allow the player to feel the effects of their ME1 endgame decision and how the Galaxy changed because of that. It would be cool to play as a non-Sheppard character. Heck it's be the first non-human playable character in Mass Effect!

And if the expansion proves successful, commercially and critically. Maybe we could see the Mass Effect franchise continue after ME3 by following characters like Garrus, who now have to live in the Galaxy the player/Shepard, has shaped.

But I may be biased... and I want to see Garrus get his own game. Fingers crossed for a 2011-2012 release of:

Garrus Vakarian: Elevator Riding Adventures, A Mass Effect Game.

[RyuGuitarFreak]

No. Ruin the trilogy feeling and would be weird to tie into the story of ME2. Put your efforts into ME3 and let the game die please. There are other stuff out there and I don't want to spend 100 dollars to have all story content available in a game.

Well, sufficed to say, ME2 was a fantastic experience.  Thing is, I want more.  I bought DA's expansion and thought it was interesting, and I wouldn't mind it if Bioware gave ME 2 the expansion treatment.  So, my question to you all is, would you rather have smaller DLCs or one monolithic expansion?  If it was held to the same standard as ME 2 itself (the quality of story, dialog, gameplay, etc) I would definitely snatch it up.

To harken back to the ancient days of Bioware, Hordes of the Underdark spoiled me.

Dragon Age: Awakening left me feeling very underwhelmed in comparison.

Granted, Mass Effect's universe/gameplay structure has much higher potential as a subject of expansion than Dragon Age, but Awakening has shaken my faith in Bioware quite a bit. For the price tag, they seriously dropped the ball on Awakening.

For one thing, Mass Effect's story makes it easier to justify using old characters in an expansion than Dragon Age Origin's; in fact, not using old characters is unthinkable. That affords much greater opportunity storytelling wise; rather than new shallow characters (aka, Awakening), we can deepen Shepard's relationships with already existing squadmates. Just update the after game dialogue trees of all characters to reflect the post-Suicide Mission status and to comment on the new situation in the expansion, and you have a much higher quality dialogue/characterization for far less work than was put into Awakening.

I feel pretty much the opposite. I really enjoyed Awakening and consider it the best expansion pack since Diablo2 LOD. I only wish Awakening were longer. I did find some of the story and some of the characters in Awakening to be superior to DAO. (much like I found LOD to be superior to D2)

Its just a matter of opinion but I thought Awakening set the bar pretty high. I would love to see ME2 get an expansion pack with 25+ hours of content. (Awakening had ~18h)

Dragon Age: Awakening was priced like Hordes of the Underdark was in relation to the original Neverwinter Nights, which lead me to believe it would be comparable to Hordes of the Underdark as an expansion. Hordes of the Underdark re-invented the old game and improved on it; more developed relationships, more and better spells/abilities/classes, a shorter but much more developed and epic plot (fine, because the original NWN dragged on), and carefully detailed set designs.

Dragon Age Awakening had shallow relationships, a weak plot, broken spells (as if the already rigged Arcane Warrior/Spirit Healer needed the Battle Mage). The set designs were like the third season of the original Star Trek; over recycled and poorly placed. Not a single set in Awakening was an improvement on a set in Origins. There's no excuse for that; they have all the tools and experience to make better sets.

Comparing it to Bioware's history of expansions (aka, Hordes of the Underdark), to price Dragon Age Awakening the way it was priced was unreasonable. 25-30$ wouldn't have been bad.

I wouldn't mind an expansion of some sort. Though I'd rather it be connected to ME2, i.e. a 10+ hour adventure that links to ME2 rather than something like Awakening. Maybe a Shadow Broker/Liara Expansion or something akin to BDtS only longer.



As for Awakening, there are things I dearly love about that game and there are things I absolutely loathe.

[Dan the Man with a Plan]

Definitely, if it gives me more conversations and another chance to have sex with Miranda im all for it, seriously it is annoying trying to talk to my Crew and they don't want to talk, or they want to talk about how to prepare for the suicide mission and I have already completed it. Some serious relationship building would be nice though.

[StowyMcStowstow]

I don't think anyone DOESN'T want a new expansion that adds to the story in an exciting way.



I know I would love it if Bioware did something awesome like that.

[sonofalich]

something along the length of Awakening or a bit longer would be nice.

[KalosCast]

I realize now it would be pretty hard to write in an expansion pack unless the main character is "Not Shepard" since the Alliance has probably branded you a traitor at this point (working with terrorists does that) and there's a roughly 50% chance that any given Shepard has told those terrorists on no uncertain terms to **** off. There's not really much plausible reason to pull Shep away from the mission like there was in say, Bring Down the Sky.



Though, I'd be totally content with paying for Bring Down the Sky II: Bring Downer... "SHEPARD, BATARIANS ARE ATTACKING A HUMAN COLONY, THEY'VE HIJACKED.... NOVERIA!"

[Voidlight]

I'd like a nice expansion that gives Shepard something big to do after the ending. Ideally I'd like some official Council Spectre storyline where Shep is given a series of important assignments and teams up with other Spectres. The whole thing could be masterminded by the Reapers, which would make a great opportunity for Shepard to convince the Council's best soldiers of the inconvenient truth, and therefore enlist their future support.

How would an xpac make it harderd for them to wrap things up in ME3?  If anything an xpac would probably make it easier to wrap things up and could help set the stage for ME3.  My vision for an xpac is taking care of everything that needs to be done in order to prepare, i.e. getting your team together, convincing people to help you, and other things so that ME3 can hit the ground running instead of having to talke half or more of it's time dealing with the things I just mentioned.  Also, the xpac would allow for earlier introduction of the new squad mates even though I'd rather they didn't introduce new squad mates.
