Remember, "you won't have to wait long until the DLC is released" does not have to mean 1 or 2 days from announcement to release, it is whatever BioWare's definition of "don't have to wait long" is.

It could be a day, it could be a week, heck it can be a month.

Just saying, you guys may be in for a disappointment. (I really hope I'm wrong).

I bet they announce it tomorrow and release it Tuesday. It's been 4 weeks, plus GamesCon is up and coming, so if they release it Tuesday, they can hype it up at that show. Overlord was released during E3.

If they were always planning for a Sept. release, they would have waited and announced it around this time.

That's exactly what I think, too.


yeah that may well be dragon age 2 trailer is up and running on the 17th to so why not double it up whit a great mass effect dlc

Just want to add my 2 cents to the discussion. I think the dlc and future content should have more hidden secrets. I mean it would be cool to have really hidden things throughout the game that aren't announced. Stuff to collect or something. I dislike the whole go take mission, complete mission, and thats all folks. I'd like to find little stuff here and there like the helmet in the normandy crash or that orb thing in the firewalker. Maybe more fish or something else. or a space cat.

How the hell is Bioware gonna end this game in only 20-25 hours ? (the length of their games approx). This game needs an expansion, not ****loads of DLC that builds on a story that we allready explored, give us something new ! (here's hoping this DLC takes place after the final mission)


It does, as this would just make sense considering the backstory and current situation surrounding Liara in her transition from ME1 - ME2. Liara cannot join Shepard, unfortunately because she is effectively under contract to remain in her job on Ilium, plus she wants to use this position as a method to finally track down the Shadow Broker and take it (no idea whether its him/her?) down. Therefore, the logical progression would be that Liara finally contacts Shepard with a request for help after she hears of the success of the team's suicide mission. 

My top wish/hope for LoTSB is that Liara has some complete interactive dialogue, so that you can converse with her in the same way that you do all of the other main characters both during the mission(s) and also back on the Normandy. I was very disappointed that Bioware decided to go down the route of minimalist "press A to Talk" one-liners especially with Kasumi, OK she has some mostly relevant opinions that are up to date with the current situation in the story but other than that she was pretty bland once located on the Normandy. 

Another thing - if Liara does become a playable character i.e. joining Shepard's crew, where is there any space left on the new Normandy for her to have her own location?




2 things:

1) If the DLC uses the dialogues already in the game as Kasumi did.. Cerberus gave Shepard intel on the SB... if its post-SM then that doesn't make sense because wether you keep the base or destroy it.. Shepard makes it clear he's on his own so why would TIM give you the intel??

2)There's alot of room on the Normandy.. everyone says there isn't. Liara could stay in the medical bay with Dr. Chakwas again, or she could be in the Comm Room, she could even be in the Crews Quarters (give you a reason to go there other then to listen to the two crew members talk to each other), she could go hang out with Samara.. they're both Asari and I'm sure Liara would be interested in a Justicar... there is alot of room for Liara on the Normandy..

she could even stay in the Captains Cabin Posted Image

I agree. Planet scanning would be less tedious if there were more "I have found an anomaly" announcement from EDI on more of the barren planets we explore.

She's not going to come with us when the DLC is over. The leaked audio files prove this.

I am also interested in what this treat, which cannot be revealed prior to the release of the DLC as it will spoil it's content, will turn out to be. I know that some have speculated that this treat will be the boosted biotics that Christina Norman has tweeted about, but I fail to see how that would spoil anything featured in the DLC that is not related to combat.



I can't wait!

First of all, the boost to biotics shouldn't be downloaded through a paid DLC. I'd see that boost coming through possibly a patch.

250 pages in 24 days is nothing.....it's like we don't even want the DLC. The Tali threads get to multiple thousands of pages in under a month.

I agree but think of the dialogue man!

Adept Shepard: Whoa. It's like I'm a thousand times stronger. How much did this biotic upgrade cost, TIM?

TIM: Well.. you see.. umm... it was free..

Maybe that "boost to biotics" comes through a team mates (Liara's) speical power? Like Mirandas lift or smth.



I cant imagine Liara coming up with a good enough reason not to join me this time. I haven't listened the leaked audio files, so don't spoil it here :P



Btw you still get emails from TIM if you do some of the side quests after SM don't you? So why not this time?

If Liara happened to be another squad member for ME 2, then it may even be possible to use her for the final mission. That wouldn't seem right, since Bioware had stated even before the release of ME 2 of "The Dirty Dozen". That would certainly break the promise in using only 12 squad members - not 13. She should be an SM for ME 3, not ME 2. I'm pretty sure for Bioware that that is a definite.

However, IF Bioware miraculously was able to put in Liara (in which i wouldn't think so), it would be best to use her after the final mission. I mean, what would the point be if Liara was added into the final mission and you KNEW that (if you had no upgrades and no loyalty, except for Liara) only three of your SM's are going to survive (one of them being Liara)? That wouldn't make sense!

As much I would love to Liara in the captain's quarters, i think that would be difficult to believe....unless you loved her in ME 1....Posted Image

If not, then I would consider to put her in either the medical bay (w/Chakwas), the extra room (w/ the 2 cerberus crew members), the room w/Samara, or on the 4th deck opposite of Jack.

Yeah, and it's been about a year since Pinnacle Station, I remember the epic flame threads and went 100+ pages within a week.  There were walls of text within each post too. 

BioWare's servers must have been red hot.

IIRC, there is no "spoiling" going on w/ the big secret.  It's just something the devs find cool that will not be advertised for the dlc. My money is on the boosted biotics.  BW is nothing if not predictable.

Did the recovered helmet in the Normandy Crash site do anything? I noticed that the weird orb thing from the Firewalker missions is on the coffee table in Shepards room the other day, but i haven't noticed the helmet lying aroung.

I'd also say there's next to no chance that Liara will join the crew. I remember Casey Hudson saying after the release of the Kasumi DLC that she completed the full 'dirty dozen', and that with further DLCs they'd be looking to expand the story and bridge the gap between ME2 and ME3.

I remember posting a thread on the old forums, shortly after finishing the first Mass Effect, about how i was constructing a Tali costume for my girlfriend to wear so i could rectify the lack of a Tali Romance option in the original game.
