This looks like a new biotic power...

I've never seen this animation in game before. I wonder what it could be??


Biotic Pimp Hand.

Didn't Chud actually state that any story-bridging DLC will be set post-suicide mission, as it is intended to be played by those that have already finished the game, whereas Kasumi and Overlord was for players still yet to finish off ME2?



Gamble's words are virtually a confirmation that this DLC will be post-sm, taking into account Chud's words.

Would it be worthwhile to speculate on Liara's class, her biotic powers, and her combat proficiencies, perhaps?


Warp, Throw, Passive, a new bonus power.

She will be able to use an SMG and heavy pistols.

What will her class be called?  I have no clue.  What did I say before, 'Asari Prodigy' or something?

Asari Scientist again? Tali kept her old class. Garrus got new class reflecting some changes, but Asari Information Broker seems too long.

Great news on the release date and on the length of the DLC. Overlord was substantial, so if LotSB is even more so then we've got a lot to look forward to. I felt Liara's character got somewhat mangled in ME2, so I really hope we see a combination of old and new Liara in this DLC - something that makes the two mesh better. I also hope that we get some DLC involving Ashley / Kaidan eventually.

BioWare, this looks awesome. I hope to get it soon enough.



Yet...is it too much to hope that there will be some Virmire Survivor DLC? Especially if we romanced them?

Asari Prodigy, that can then be evolved into either one of "Asari Scholar", or "Asari Academic".

I agree with the rest of what you have speculated.

I think she would get a new class name to reflect the changes (as Garrus did).  Not 'Asari Information Broker' though...something that rolls off the tongue...

Agreed with all of your points. I remain extremely hopeful that this DLC will provide the necessary elaboration, clarification and exposition that Liara's ME2 character development has been in dire need of, which Redemption was unable to provide. Additionally, this DLC also features romance content with Liara and allows the relationship to continue, so enriched and deep character development is a must.

Oh, and I would also love some DLC featuring Ashley or Kaidan. I think that this will eventually happen.

I do know BW wanted to keep Liara out of the ME2 squad so she could not die. However, if this DLC is post-suicide mission only, this won't be a problem. Plus, if there is more story-bridging post-suicide mission DLC, you could get some more use out of Liara as a squad mate in them.

The only thing is that Hudson stated Kasumi would be the last ME2 squad mate. This is why I think Liara won't join. Unless he meant no more squad mates will join for the pre-suicide mission team. IDK.


If this will playable post SM and she joins you on the Normandy after the whole thing finishes, that means will have to wait the next DLC to bring her along on another mission... That'd suck.

Am I the only one worried about the length? It better be at least 4-5 hours long, considering it's 17% of the full retail price of the whole game....................

Probably not. There isn't any place for her. Except for Shepard's quarters, of course. There is an extra desk, after all.

Unless you have saved some N7 missions, or the Overlord DLC.

No...I think it will be roughly that long.

I theorise that this "Shadow Broker Intel Centre" that will be acquired in this DLC will actually function as the quest assignment location for the story bridging DLC, especially considering the fact that the majority of players severed all ties with Cerberus at the end of ME2, and told TIM to get bent. Consequently, it is necessary for Shepard to acquire a new resource to assign quests and missions.


Unlikely, as that would force everybody to buy into this DLC before they could get anything latter.

Not saying your idea isn't bad, or anything, I just doubt it's practically feasible.

Also wondering a bit about the levelcap... :)

<shrug> They could just tweak future DLC so that you get an e-mail from TIM or Liara based on whether you played this or not.

I'm hoping for it to be like 15 minutes long, but have the power and impact of a good org......anism.

If Liara does become a permanent squadmate following the conclusion of this DLC, assuming it is post-suicide mission, of course, then Liara will obviously be available to be utilised in subsequent story bridging DLC.

Well...yea but...Ilium is an Earth-like planet...and for the other planets that don't have different climates, I personally think that's just because Bioware didn't implement weather effects, and most of the planets we don't travel too far off from where we land, usually...

And there's nothing to say that it can't have multiple climates...it doesn't look like an ash cloud to me, just a bad storm or something.


I suppose. It's just the sickly-looking sky and billowing black clouds reminded me of that planet back in ME1 where you fought the rachni in a starship troopers-like side mission. I.e., about as unlike Illium as you could get.

I hadn't actually given much thought as to where someone/thing like the shadow broker would make their base - in the depths of a city or off in the blue black yonder like all those other nutcase groups.

Yeah... I'm assuming she'll be a temporary squadmate, at most. I'm still not entirely convinced she won't be an NPC, like Garrus was during his recruitment mission.

Remember that Illium is only habitable at higher altitudes; the surface is too hot to live on. It will basically be another tower or something along those lines.

Hmm..that's still possible.  I just don't think that's likely as Liara is predominantly a power user, while Garrus is predominantly a gun guy.  Thus I think the would want to give the player the possibility to control her powers, instead of just having her randomly throwing people around or using her biotics at improper moments.
