the post dlc that i want is something that allows you to turn the shadow broker base into shepard's base opening it up to you to explore more of it and then gives you a mission to track down TIM and gives you the choice to either kill him or arrest him and then either disband/destroy cerberus or take control of it


DLC that builds on top of other DLC ? I don't see that happening (unnecessarily limits the number of potential buyers).

 well i'd atleast like to have the mission where we could track down TIM and either arrest or kill him and then either destroy cerberus or take it over

I say some enhanced romance between you and the love interest. Basically you get an email from your love interest, and wanting to talk about the future. Ends with a better romance scene than what you got before the suicide mission. And a little bonus when you invite said love interest to your cabin.



A lot of people seem to like the idea of Rannoch DLC. If Tali and Legion are in your party, they could both pressure you to side with them, forcing Shepard to make a choice between them which pleases them both or side with one which results in the other dying, while maintaining/earning the loyalty of the other, especially if you lost Tali's loyalty. I personally love the idea of winning back Tali’s loyalty through retaking her homeworld.



As for Wrex/Wreav DLC, I dunno about curing the genophage. Wrex himself doesn't come off to me as a warmonger, though Wreav clearly would if presented with the opportunity. Wrex helped out the two clans (Gatatog and Werloc after you put them in their place) while Wreav obliterated both. With Wrex you could convince him to rally the krogan to assist the galaxy in taking down the Reapers and to give the krogan a bigger role in society. With Wreav, you could convince him to help you fight the Reapers once the former Council races are utterly beaten to establish a partnership between humans and krogan to expand into and dominate the galaxy.



Virmire Survivor DLC - There are boatloads of possibilities here. Obviously involving you and either Ashley or Kaidan. Since they now have a lot of pull with the Alliance, how you act on this mission could polarize your relationship with the Alliance as you declare your allegiance to Cerberus (assuming you kept the Collector Base), or reinforce it by helping out the survivor again. Shepard can take it a step further and put in a good word for Ashley/Kaidan to become a Spectre. And oh yes, the romance too. And hopefully you can work out your relationship, or reassure that you're friends with the survivor regardless of what's happened over the last two years.



Council DLC – More potential here. A mission that the Council asks you to take on perhaps to avoid suspicion since Cerberus is not a part of the Alliance. Perhaps there could be some evidence about the Reapers. Maybe not a smoking gun, but something the Council cannot blatantly ignore. Ultimately, you could convince the Council in some aspect that yes, the Reapers do exist. And in turn, they are going to do something about it, they just ask that you keep quiet so as not to start a panic. Story is spun as the Council taking greater action to protect colonies and to better defend the fleet against future attacks. Other options could be to just send this info to the Alliance so they’ll be better prepared and can score clout by showing the others how it’s done or to Cerberus so they can make sure humanity is prepared for the Reapers.

Would be nice to tide things over until ME3, but then Bioware would have to work harder at creating an epic romance scene for that game. Maybe a little bit of icing off the cake though, I wouldn't mind either way. Perhaps show a bit more skin this time around lol. If parents can't control what their kids play and look at the rating, then it's just plain fail.

Here to say again that if you want Kaid and Ash DLC, please join the support group and/or post your ideas on the forums! Your contributions would be awesome! The more, the merrier!

And I too would like to see Wrex DLC. But I would be more interested in a Geth/Quarian one, truthfully. I would love to see how the non-heretic geth function, if possible. Could set a great precedent for ME3.  Maybe have the opportunity to have the Normandy scout out the quarian homeworld and meet some geth (can't remember if the heretic have overrun it though, or if it's mixed factions, or if it's only non-heretic geth).  I would buy anything that involved Legion getting extra screen time.

Ashley/Kaidan dlc for me also you can work admiral hackett in to it maybe have the alliance send them to find out why the geth are acting like they are after you reprogram with legion and Ashley/Kaidan get in stuck between the geth and Quarian who are now at war



I just hope the last one before mass effect 3 is more of an expansion that should be special

Something completely unexpected. Some big mystery in an abandoned Citadel Fleet dreadnought. We'll be fighting through narrow corridors with very sparse lighting with allows the mappers to create some of the most atmospheric ME maps yet. The culprits will use new unique enemy models (I feel the yagh set a new standard of what we can expect here). They'll use stealth and the environment to sneak up on us. If possible a new mechanic lets them travel across walls and ceilings. Obvious xenomorph inspiration not a problem. ;) Eventually we learn the aliens are rachni corrupted by the Reapers. Epic queen fight commences. Dreadnought explodes as Shepard escapes, but not before the dying queen, now released from Reaper control, makes Shepard witness a vision about the enslavement of her people that somehow helps in ME3.

Or, you know, Virmire survivor and Wrex. Either way I'm satisfied. :)

What I would like to see in DLC:

1:  Ashley / Kaidan Pack (Comrades Sojourn)
Centers around Shepard possible return to the Alliance. Able to name Ashley/Kaiden has the next human specter.

2: genophage cure given to the urdnot clan

3: Geth / Quarian War (Quarian Sins)

4: A BETTER WEAPONS PACK ;) no small ammo clips

How about the DLC solidifies the unit before ME3? I don't know about anyone else, but the storyline seemed so out of placed when compared to ME1. You pretty much had your entire squad from the beginning few hours of the game, where then you could focus on Saren.



In ME2, that's all the game revolved about. I'm not saying it was bad, it was just...it just seemed off-putting. The squad should be put into effect in the DLC, along with any alliances you made in ME2, so the entirety of ME3 can focus all around taking down the Reapers. I don't want to have to go through another game of gathering characters together. Make up a squad from the games already available.



Yes, having someone like Kal'Reegar or Matriarch Atheteya would be cool to have on your team, but something like that just isn't needed. Work with what we already have and focus everything else on the finale.



This is what should all be taken care of in DLCs rather than in the main game.

DLC done on a budget - so re-hiring all the voice actors from ME2 is expensive for Bioware. Perhaps it is better to concentrate on the dialogue of one or two characters. Suggest working out DLCs where Shephard is seperated from the crew (eg. as the above poster suggested, thrown into Batarian prison for a crime he didn't commit (or did, if renegade)).Shepard could gets rescued/break out with the Virmire Survivor's help. For part 2 of the DLC, Sheperd could help them out with their secret mission - or whatever. Could even introduce a 'stealth' element into it (Shepard loves cover).

 I know this is no spoilers, but I'll try to be vague here.

BioWare: in some DLC (or it might be more suited for ME3), we need a plot that explores Shepard's humanity and development.

Both personality-wise and metaphysically.

A small discussion in the FemShep (SPOILERS WARNING) thread brought this up, (it goes on for 6 posts) and it's an important part of Shepard that needs to be resolved.

id like a playable dream sequance for dlc. for example opening scene shows shepard sleeping and dreaming, but in his dream we get to go through the recruting of him into the alliance, and basicly play through the torfan story in this dream,

Guessing either new weapon/s or alt apperence pack.... I would love something more  but doubt we will get anything big until around Late Nov or Dec... The next big dlc should really be focused on something that moves the story on, but also has to be something that settles a problem like the Krogan/Genophage, Geth/Quarian... I would also like something that has to do with Rachni, Alliance, Council, Ashley/Kaidan, or Cerberus/TIM...

What ever it is I am sure it will be good, but either way all of the above need to be done either by dlc or at the begining of mass effect 3, and would rather handle most of them through dlc because it could be great connection between the end of mass effect 2 and mass effct 3...

The Krogan Genophage is already being worked on if you paragorn talked Mordin... I doubt he can get that done within a year. He works fast but this is modifying something that has already been modified more than once.

My wish list:



Ashley/Kaidan DLC... tho in my 6 playthroughs kaidan has yet to survive... even when i played femshep.



Aria focused DLC... Omega is just way too cool to be left out :)



Wrex DLC



Legion DLC... little more info on the Geth that arent out to kill everyone. you basically find that out near the end of the game that are 2 types of Geth.



DLC with something to do with the alliance, Cerberus and Council... like boost Cerberus power mybe in the universe or just reveal more info about them and their dirty stuff to the allinace/council. etc hope you guys get what i mean :P



a DLC with Jack in it would be cool. as she has done huge ammount of stuff in her life. so there just might be something that could be used :)



i guess if they really did all this... it could be called a new game... Mass Effect 2.5 :)

Agreed!

I don't know if a more quite, reflective DLC with less combat and more "gab" would be popular with everyone, but it would sure as hell add more depth to Shepard. You had a good start with Liara simply asking Shepard about his/her feelings in LotSB.

Build on that, please.

It's too bad voice acting is such a difficult thing to arrange for DLC... Spacer Shepard's should get to chat with mom, or perhaps dad this time? The email wasn't nearly enough. But where would that leave the other backgrounds? Ideally, Hannah Shepard (VO only) and Talitha would both be brought back. I dunno where that'd leave Earthborns... That obnoxious gang member was most likely killed by like 80% of players... Image IPB

In any case, yes to more psychological depth. And more stuff to do with the preservice histories and the service records, even if only in ME3...

I agree Lair of the Shadow Broker was a good way to see how Shep is doing .... I would like it to be  a very dramatical breakdown myself ( before people thinks im sentimental Im a very nihilistic misanthropic person , but Shep cant be hard/bad ass all the time):devil:

Well, I think player choice would be good here too.

Make it clear that Shepard is (possibly) suffering from "issues" or "angst" or even medical complications, but make it up to each individual player whether you want Shepard to open up about them or not. The hard core stoics could just brush off each attempt to handle the issues, and have Shepard not bring them up when the opportunity presents itself.

That way, there would be no "Bioware ruined the series by turning Shep into an emo! Image IPB" type of drama. And choice is always good, no? Image IPB

Suggestions/thoughts:
An Alliance/Council DLC (as has been suggested earlier) that is story driven and ties in the Virmire Survivor and, IMO, ends with Shep suggesting to the council that the VS and/or Garrus become Spectres. Also, I'd love to have Admiral Hackett be involved in this mission too; I missed his annoying requests for help from ME1.
I think the Geth/Quarian homeworld issue is either dealt with in an expansion pack or as a side plot (a large one) in ME3.
Someone suggested a DLC that involves squad members leaving the squad. I think that would be good, dunno about the execution of the idea, but attrition and how it affects all involved on the team would be interesting to explore.
Dark Matter. A DLC touching on this topic is needed IMO. It's mentioned a few times and it definitely piqued my interest. Curious to see how it's tied into the trilogy. I haven't read the books, and mayhap its discussed in more detail in those books.
Cpl. Toombs and/or something with Batarians. Some may hate Humans, but in the end, against the Reapers, we're gonna need 'em. Unless they team-up with the Reapers, which is just bad-mojo...
FWIW, a mission on the Hanar homeworld of Kahje seems interesting, especially considering, in a way, it comes up in the LotSB DLC.
Eh, just a few thoughts, we'll see how Bioware chooses to bridge ME2 to ME3 soon enough (although not soon enough for most)
Cheers!
