the only thing ive found that I personally thought sucked was Stasis....lol
Coming from MMOs (as well as more traditional RPGs) any CC lock is useful. Use it immediately when a fight begins and you've cut down the opposition's numbers by one. It's not epic by any means but it is useful.

Plot - I liked the fact that Liara was given a great deal more depth and we were allowed to continue Shepard's romance with her. Very well written if a tad predictable, but I'm quite happy with LoTSB's plot overall and where it has advanced the characters and their relationships to - we now have a powerful ally as an alternative/addition to Cerberus which is great. The introduction of a new alien species was unexpected and interesting, I'd like to see more of those. And fist fight them again.
Dialog - I really loved the sense of humor this DLC had, the silly comments and fan-references. Liara's dialog was just great - both funny and touching at times. I'd love to see a little more interaction/banter from other squad members maybe in future DLC, but that said I fully understand why it's lacking.
Combat\\Gameplay - I'd always wanted a "Vanguard duel" involving charging around after each other for my Vanguard - I was gleeful that Bioware delivered on that. I found the combat to be a little too easy on Insanity til we were boarding the SB's ship, then it kicked my butt a couple of times. Enemies seemed a little bit smarter which is great, but that may have just been Liara giving them too many combat tips...

Been playing MMOs myself for the past 10 years and in an MMO, yea, CC is useful...But in a game where you dont have to rely on your party/group and/or can just utterly destroy everything with a big strong enough offence, then it kind of loses it's glammer. It has its uses....not many....but it has a few. Other abilities that you have access to are still leaps and bounds better than Stasis IMO.

One question though; I have just been mining the new "Rich" planets you can buy the locations of after LotSB and noticed that all of the other planets th/at I mined previously seem to have been replenished. Anyone else notice this?

I wish there was audio in that surveillance vids. I wonder what that Salarian was saying after he got kicked into the varen pit......
I especially wonder what Anderson was saying to that Cerberus member or what made Udina shove the Alliance member.
Of course the best one was that Krogan punching the annoying reporter. I laughed so hard my sides were hurting when I saw that and watched it at least a half dozen times in a row!
I personally liked the Volus kicking her in the shins myself lol
That was funny too. You expect the Krogan to do that but I never saw it coming from a Volus.

Finally playing it right now. My experience went from, "Ha Tela is just another midboss" to "HOLY #^$@ SHE CAN CHARGE?!"
Did the surprise last long, or did you respond by going "Hey, I can do that too!"

I'm playing an Infiltrator at the moment actually.
So yeah, I responded by spamming Liara's stasis on her. Killed her with bug bites.

Things to take from the SB mission pack - Thane will die in between ME2 and ME3, Feron will replace him. There was a dialogue option about "what's next" and it was hinted he doesn't want to stay as Liara's right hand man forever... would be an awesome addition to ME3 I think.
Maybe then he would deserve his own outfit. Every drell must shop at the same clothing store.

- the firefights were challenging, even for a level 30 Spectre, appropriate if you think what a competent team the Shadow Broker must have, to remain this resourceful information-fiend; on Insanity one had really to keep in cover, proceed tactically, loved it
- the fight against Vasir was more difficult than the fight against SB, but I think it should be this way, since Vasir is a dangerous Spectre herself and SBs isn't primarily occupied on the battlefield; I'm not a big fan of boss fight anyway, so I think it was handled well, since you need some sort of gameplay climax
- loved the identity of the Shadow Broker: a huge ugly Guy with a carnivorous-plant-mouth
- level design was really great, Illium was with this weird lighting more dubious than ever (do I really have to mention the impressive scenery at the SB Base?)
- relationship between Liara and Shep was touching indeed, especially as LI; only some awkward lines in the dialogue were there if you romanced her ("thats what friends are for"; you can misinterpret this, way to easy); was kind of sad in the final scene on the Normandy, that you probably wouldn't get her as squad mate in ME3, but what the hell, she is the new Shadow Broker, she well be very present throughout the story
- the goodies in the Lair were amazing; the detailed background infos on your team, the possibility to invest and to buy resources; everything in the DLC was integrated seamless in the ME-Storyline, especially for this point, you have to love the DLC
- some minor criticism: even if you do the DLC after the Suicide Mission, Vasir talks like you are still with the Shadow Broker (though I loved the reproach, that Shepard has worked with Cerberbus)
- some really minor glitches: on Hagalaz, I couldn't enter the interior after the fight, every enemy was down, but Liara didn't tell me, that the door is open now (had to load); sometimes the enemies didn't appear and I couldn't activate the control rods
All in all, fantastic content, wouldn't have expected this much greatness for 800 points :happy:

That's basically how I replied lol....her first words just before she charged the first time was something along the lines of "catch me if you can..." to which I replied "TAG!....*biotic charge + Charged Geth Shotgun to the face*....You're IT!!" lol

My approach was have Adept Shepard, Liara and Thane spam Warp. Watching her going Charge and my Warp track and hit was amazing.
Stasis worked well for Engineers, they were a nightmare here, and was also the best option to open SB´s guard and empty a clip on him. Would like to test it on Harbinger, it would come really handy on Horizon, Collector Ship and Harbinger. Also how it drops them to the ground. Not as good as enhanced Stasis from ME1 (last fight 30 seconds long) but way better than the normal one.
