Multiplayer in ME3. It would be separate from the SP mission and most likely not even involve Shepard. Speculation is that it would be about defending Earth while Shep is away playing Dragon Age, errr, building a galactic team. Further speculation is that since the MP job title was for the DLC branch of BW (the people who brought us Arrival) it would be a first day DLC and not actually on the ME3 disc. That said, UJ has a chat w/ one of the devs about the possibility of MP in ME3.

I had to babysit twelve people through their "Daddy issues" just to complete one damned mission. And now I'm the biggest mass murder in the history of the galaxy. But I will be goddamned if I share the spotlight w/ some second rate CoD chumbait in a tacked on multiplayer."

Ahaha, love it. And pretty much sums up my Shepard's view on multiplayer too!

I pretty much do the same as Ele08. I'm going to read spoilers without a single doubt, i'm still disappointed in Arrival and need something to confirm that Bioware push ME3 in the right direction.

Just booted up Arrival to give it a second try.

I just rage quit!!  

Partly because I was trying to get the achievement at Object Rho and wasnt doing well and went to load and hit restart losing everything up to that point!! Stupid save system!   Secondly Arrival is just sucky,  Its even more tedious when you know its linear outcome.

And yes Im going to be sucking up spoilers like a straw I think. Normally I avoid them.

Popping in real quick - got tired of my sig being so bland so I'm doing something about it.

But if any of y'all enjoy making little pixel dolls, I figured I might as well share. Here's a base for an itty FemShep -

I hear ya.. I feel exactly the same. I still got 3-4 Sheps left to do Arrival with but i just don't have the energy or interest to do it. I still have 2 achivements left but they don't spark any interest at all. I'm lucky i suppose that i still have to create my own Shepard. It's hard work to get it all right and if i'm lucky Sarah don't look like something close to Frankenstein's monster
I always read the small spoilers but now i need that confirmation.. more then ever

I would think that Multiplayer would be a pinnacle station type thing with scores on various side missions or whatever and a scoreboard but yes seperate from the main campaign. When I think about it though, Comamnders is sort of a multiplayer thing, since there are multiple Shepard's. Don't hate it!!!! >.<

Amen...

So long as ME3's development isn't tied in any way to the multiplayer portion (I've seen far too many development schedules ruined 'cause some chump thought it'd be great to throw in such an insanely complicated system) then I'll be happy.

But, hell, if it's not gonna be tied in with the story, or have any of the characters from the main story, or anything, why tie it in at ALL with ME3?  I'd be perfectly fine with a multiplayer game set in the ME-verse that wasn't 'Mass Effect'.

I actually enjoyed arrival more the 2nd time. Maybe that's because I was playing Vangaurd with the Geth Shotgun for the first time though, which is pretty much the best thing ever. Also the Hackett debrief wasn't so bad without other feelings of surprised annoyance clouding it. Still really wish I didn't have to call him 'sir' in such a respectful tone.

You can take the Commander out of the Alliance, but you can't take the Alliance out of the Commander...or some such nonsense

Ha, I loved it, but my Shep is still military.  Big on protocol and duty and all that jazz.

They really did take a lot of RP out of this one, didn't they?  I just got lucky it fit.  Just reinforcing that Shepard is their predefined character which we can only add flavor to. Booooo.

This is not making me all that enthusiastic to play Arrival, lol... but I also haven't played Lair of the Shadow Broker yet, which should be a real treat.

...Also apparently my teeny FemShep isn't teeny enough. (sigh.) At least it's something!

Never noticed Shepard's vampire look before.

I did enjoy Arrival. I don't think that it's crap at all.

I don't think Arrival is as bad as the most vocal people here are making it out to be, but that may just be me.

And do yourself a favor and play Lair of the Shadow Broker.  Probably the best DLC out there.

I agree. Also , even though Kallen was thought to have stayed with Cerberus cuz she gave the base to TIM, Hackett says "Cerberus is the only one fighting this menace, aslong as they're doing that, I can be friendly" and then I said "Could you tell that to Ashley and Kaidan, that'd be apprecited" But Hackett was cool though, I took both the Paragon and Renegade dialogue options in the debrief and he agrees with Shepard's decision (renegade) or believes her (Paragon). so he's alright in my book.

Stop finger pointing!      

Actually if you dont play a pure paragon player you will probably enjoy it.  Since I did, I found the DLC horrible to the type of person Bioware established as a paragon player. The dialogue wasnt fitting at playing paragon resulting in this detached feeling I keep pointing out.

But yes LotSB is possibly the best DLC ever made!!  Overlord is really good too!  :happy:

The most popular opinion seems to be "it was okay."

I think it was worth the money (though honestly it should have been less for the amount of content.)

Most people just expect a lot, especially with Lair and Overlord setting the bar so high.

Honestly, I don't think there was too much time for feelings. Shepard had to react quickly.

I did have a lot of fun playing Overlord, though I tend to play a very paragon-ey Shepard. LotSB is definitely on my to-play list! I just want to do things in order. ...well, as in order as I can, with this second playthrough. :>

(Edit: Oh, come on! Why does it keep shrinking my signature? I resized it down to only 40px high! Mutter grumble...)

Your sig looks pretty good to me. What is it supposed to look like?

RE: DLC review. I come off more negative since like a lot of people I tend to only mention the negative stuff :/  It was an ok DLC. Matter of expectations vs reality, really.

I understand the rush for the ultimate sacrifice.  But the dialogue was too cold.  Amelia would never have acted like that even under those circumstances.  Even at the end when it was all over it was still cold and detached. Nothing paragon was in that DLC.  No choices, no interupts.  The only paragon line in the whole thing is about a trial she wouldnt care about. Oh wait there was an option to warn the colony but that was ineffective anyway and in fact you were cut off very quickly by the doctor.  Then its back to the whole cold attitude of "must start project, nothing else matters ect ect"

So yeah I wasnt happy with Amelia's personality transplant let me put it that way.  

[Harpalyce]

Mutter splutter grumble... it's supposed to be like so -

...but I think I'm just going to declare that it's good enough for right now, LOL.

I'm sure there are enjoyable bits to the DLC. And hey, I have LotSB to look forward to even if I don't think it will be as meaningful to me as it is to others (I've not played ME1, so I haven't seen the whole interaction between Shepard and Liara, really).

[CrazyRah]

I admit i have been way to negative with Arrival. It's the lack of emotions that distrub me. Sarah would never acted like that.. But aside from that i really enjoyed the solo experience. It actually felt like a true N7 mission.

[NM7]

Well I've done Arrival 3 times now and I don't think I can do another. There's just something about it that feels odd. Maybe it's the fact that Shepard is on her own. It feels really empty without having a couple of her squad mates kicking arse along side her.

The debreif at the end was better with a more Renegade Shepard, but I still find the whole thing a disappointment.

I also can't really see it having much of an impact on your import to ME3 since there are zero choices to make. So I guess Silmeria won't have to suffer Arrival. She's my Paragon Shepard and I know the dialogue won't fit with her personality.

No the upside, I got to have fun with biotics going through using my adept, Lenneth.







I think I might go and complete LotSB later with Hrist as I haven't done it yet on her insanity playthrough, and wash the bad taste of Arrival out of my mouth.
