Ok, questions for those who have played/beaten it:


1. Tazzik - Is he a tough boss fight? Does he do anything else besides be a boss fight? Does he have a unique appearance, or is he just an Eclipse Engineer with a grenade launcher?

2. Do we get anything bigger than a YMIR mech?

3. How is this structured? Is it possible to, say, do the first mission, then you get a stopping point where you can do a Collector mission or two, then do other SB missions? Or do you have to do it all at once like Overlord?

4. Does the Illusive Man actually talk to you, or does he just e-mail you?

5. Vehicle - Hammerhead, Mantis, or something new?

6. Any sign of Harbinger, Aria, or Vido Santiago (I know that last one's a long shot, but TSB has a long history with the Blue Suns)?

7. Is the Observer assignment a prerequisite for starting this (Nyxeris could be a problem if she isn't dealt with)?

What could she be talking about?


I think you might get something new out of the delivery packages as well, not only old upgrades/upgrades that you missed etc.

1.Taz isn't in it. Silly, I know...

2.Besides the Shadow Broker? No.

3. No. You do the first part of the mission on Illium. Then the second half on the SB's ship.

4. You get an e-mail from Cerberus Operatives, not TIM.

5. A cab lol.

6. No

7. Probably not.

1. Don't know who you're talking about.

2. Don't wanna say anything spoilerish but the shadoww broker fight will not disappoint if you want something big.

3. All at once like overlord.

4. Just an email.

5. There's the taxi chase like in the trailer but thats it.

6. No, none of them show up.

7. Hmm, not sure on that one, I took out Nyxeris before and did on a post-suicide mission file, will try later and get back to you if someone else hasn't answered.

1.Boss Fights are pretty Easy.
2.Umm..no, unless you count the Shadow Broker...but he is very easy.
3.Just like Overlord/Kasumi...one shot straight through...but at the end you have a new "base" to use
4.Email...very MIA throughout the mission
5.Short (but way cool) flight through Ilium...thats it for vehicles
6.Once you get the SB Base there are intel documents on various characters, including Aria
7.No...i had two separate saves, one when i just landed on Illium, and one after...and both times she just doesnt appear at her desk anymore...gone and forgotten.

Although in my playthrough...i used a save that is before ay end game stuff so Liara mentions that im going through the Omega 4 relay and stuff, so im curious what she says if you play it AFTER youve saved the Universe....or if you can.

Well for once the fan-guessing was right. We now know who Liara's 'father' is.

Glad reaction seems positive so far! I'll do a blog post about some details on the DLC later today.

I would love that. I was never sure what was changed gameplay-wise. I did notice Stasis was added, but that was that.


Is it any good this time or is it just as worthless as before? Image IPB

That means that Aethyta and Benezia were in love. Maybe thats why she called her "that screw up with Saren" lol

Yeah, and its another piece of evidence that supports Liara occupying a fairly simple support role in ME3. Just like that, what was always a big mystery surrounding Liaras character  just quickly solved and pushed aside in an easter egg joke video.

I think its definitely one of the better DLCs...since this is a spoiler thread...it definitely adds a whole new (predictable) dimension to the ME storyline with Liara as the new SB...should make ME3 very interesting.

Only a couple of down sides, imo:
1.First boss fight is very different then other boss fights, which is good but it is also highly annoying...you basically play a guessing game as to where the boss teleports to...annoying.
2.The revelation of the "Shadow Broker" identity...its ok i guess, but i i was expecting something more monumental or shocking. This revelation was ho-hum.
3.The length...to me it seemed a tad short...i guess its ok because you get a new base and some more time with Liara, but overall the DLC is fairly short..i still hope they come out with expansion packs like DA:O

Truth be told I never got the impression from anything in ME1 or ME2 that Liara's father would be important at all.  Its us fans who built up an expectation that it would be some key reveal.  It's probably worth what it's worth - a trivial easter egg.

That's your opinion....Fortunately, it's not one that is shared by many others Image IPB

*Conversation Spoilers!!!!!*



Liara: The Mercs are unorganized, they'd stand a chance if they attacked all at once!

Shepard: Don't give em advice Liara!

*Big ass wave of mercs and drones*

Shepard: You just had to give the mercs tactical advice, didn't you!?


Best conversation in the DLC.

It's actually quite good. I didn't really try it all that much, but it was nice.

Of all the places in all the universe Liara's long lost father is a couple of feet away from her office.

NEYED.

Nothing cracked me up more though than the Krogan owning Algilani (or however you spell that reporter's name lol)...And then the Volus kicking her in the shins in the next video after that was even funnier Image IPB
