Christmas outfits for the whole party :P


!!!CRACKATHOOOMMMBRMBRMBLLL!!!.. (ominous sound of thunder while fashion-police waits in a dark, damp alley)

Indeed that woulde be fun, or just some crazy ornaments on the Normandy here&there.. Stuff with annoying electronic music boxes when clicked on..

Hrm..maybe stretching it a bit too much:lol:

The Elevator theme, albeit in 'Overlord' form :P and it plays the whole theme throughout the entire ship very loudly until it's finished. Clicking on it just resets it back to the start :D which has EDI saying this line.
"To all Cerberus personnel, in an effort to reduce work placed stress, music has been approved for ship wide progress" *cue music*
:D

@CharmingCharlie I actually think first will be late Jan-Mid Feb and the latter probably around July and they'll announce the latter at E3 along with more info about ME3 probably stating something about how the DLC really does set the tone for the start of ME3.

Means they'll have had 4-5 months on each of them after the previous ones (LotSB was September).

I think the VS DLC might be a bit like Liara's in that it can be done pre/post SM with it paying reference to the SM. It'd make sense though unlike Liara's if it only available after the next 'main' event in ME2 rather than the one Liara's is after, due to what happens in that particular event Liara's is after.

To me it would also make sense that the last DLC is post-SM only and it giving us a good idea what we are doing between ME2 and ME3 because the thing to remember is that the possibilities of what Shepard would be doing are wider than they were between ME and ME2 as we aren't tied down by any authority like we were then. Some people want the ability to confirm their ties are severed from Cerberus, some people want the ability to confirm their ties are still with Cerberus and I just think it is silly to tie it just to whether you kept the base or not. Personally I think this one will also lead to some foreshadowing as to how ME3 starts, like maybe Shep finds out about how the Reapers might consider getting into the system and at the end gets a message to come to the Citadel little not knowing that "It's a trap" as he has been charged with some crimes, some of which he might not have committed, though we won't actually go to the Citadel, it'll just leave with us getting that message.

Course another idea would be that the mission involves Batarians and at the end Shepard gets caught by them (explaining how we're "off the radar" during Retribution) then ME3 starts with a prison break later

Edit:
Just been watching a video relating to what I said in first sentence and it just had me thinking, I wonder what 'player gripe'/4th wall moment/easter egg (however you want to call it) will be the next thing to be poked fun of in the next DLC? All the others have had one so far that I can think of.

Don't know if it was posted, but I think a Shepard origin story would be cool. Just a brief hour gameplay of the career background story (mine is sole survivor). I don't think it would be hard to write a short plot that syncs in to whatever profile your save game is linked to.


I've already posted this.. but more as a stand-alone game.. to see the background of your squadmates, like Zaeed and Thane.. as a follow-up for the trilogy.. (i'm having this feeling they're gonna make this fps or rts.. ala Halo and Halo Wars)

I want some DLC on the Sonax Corporation. If you've been reading the news on the ME2 startup screen, you'd know that they are up to some shady stuff. And they killed a Spectre.





Perfect opportunity for the Council to contact Shepard to look into the matter.

DLc's.... pretty much will involve putting each of your important friends in positions of absolute power for they to help you.



Liara the obvious information expert, became the shadow broker, rivaling cerberus information network.



Wrex... dlc for him, to make sure he unites the Krogan clans, not only in Tuchanka, but through the rest of Citadel space, and terminus space.



Tali legion.... BIG ass DLC to solve their dilema, planet Ranoch?? is it, to finally get both the Quarian fleet and the Geth fleets behind you.



Rachni... duno if they need a DLC or a few missions in ME3.... either way they need to come back of course.... but they would only matter if you released the queen... but for me they seem to important to be left out... I mean the rachni posed a threat to all species combined...

VS dlc is after the LotSB dlc quite logical if they plan on returning squadmembers from ME1 in ME2. But if you are against VS dlc, what kind of dlc do you want? And please dont tell me you want a new appearance pack or something like that :P


Im not against it,it just seems weird to add in a squadmate from me dlc  right after they already realesed one.They should make a dlc related to how the reapers get to earth in me 3. :)

As for me, the perfect DLC would be the one where you try to solve problem between Geth and Quarians. Or the unification of Krogan species. Or something with Anderson....

I honestly could care less for the VS. I know they have a huge fan base, but I am not one of them.



When you're talking DLC for everyone, the Quarians and the Geth is something that is vastly more important to the story.

Whatever new DLC (or Patch) Bioware releases, I would hope that they can add a Terminal access on Illium, on the Trading Floor, where we can sell some Minerals. It just makes sense to have more reward for our mining efforts, and incentive to push further out into all of the unexplored Galaxies.

Since the minerals are being sold in a stock exchange, the sale should be limited to large measures of 100 thousand units, except for Element Zero which is the rarest, which could be sold in 50 thousand units lots.



Palladium: 100k sold for 15k Credits

Iridium: 100k sold for 25k Credits

Platinum: 100k sold for 25k Credits

Element Zero: 100k sold for 50k Credits (or 50k sold for 25k Credits, since EZ has other uses)



I’m not sure why Bioware didn’t originally add this as part of the game.

simply, because now that you want it, they'll charge you for it.

A lot of people suggested Quarian vs Geth DLC, but honestly I hope that gets saved for ME3. Whichever side you take helps you liberate Earth. I think that would give Bioware much more time to develop the conflict and make a bigger, better battle.

Taking sides is theoretically unnecessary, according to Legion.

They should do one that continues where Bring Down the Sky left off if you let Balak go.  They could also do a few related to some of the planets from Mass Effect 1 such as searching for the Leviathan of Dis, find out what happened to that one Turian admiral from the Krogan rebellions that mysteriously disappeared, reveal all those mysterious structures that were reported in some of the gas giants, find out where those mysterious lights on that one other planet were coming from, meet that volus who is digging for these lost crypts that I think might be a key to defeating the reapers and explain the importance of those prothean orbs, the first being on Eletania that was unlocked by the consort's trinket and the second that was found in the Firewalker pack.

I don't think they thought of adding that because they didn't expect people to go madly into mining every planet like some people seemed to have done. Casey Hudson did actually state this earlier in the year that they were surprised by the amount of mining going on.
100k palladium spare? *looks stunned*
Hmm, perhaps Agent Smith's description of Humans is correct... :P

Actually, I am Darth Vader... XD well, one of the 501st Legion's Darth Vader's anyway :)
I've even helped with the promotion of 'The Force Unleashed 2' earlier this year standing alongside Hayden Blackman as he was doing an interview about the game.

So yes, there is that bit of evil genius inside of me :D

A DLC about the Legion would be great, where i fight with geth and with other races, because we also have a geth DLC called Overlord. The Legion appears in the story too much later, and would be great fighting side-by-side with him.

Somewhere in the Mass Effect 2 story we have to make a decision if we want do reprogram or to kill the geth on the Legion loyalty mission. If we have or not the help of an geth army in Mass Effect 3 (depending on the decision we make on Mass Effect 2) is very great to fight side-by-side with the geth.

I'm just waiting for Mass Effect: Genesis on the Xbox 360. Do you think it will come out on January 18 when the PS3 version comes out or a little bit sooner (seeing as it needs to be up and running when the earlierest PS3 owners buy the game)?

Didnt want to go thru 52 pages - is there more DLC coming or is this it? No matter what, the DLC for ME2 was handled pretty darn well, I think. Playing my second game since Jan, but first time playing any/all DLC, so its been nice seeing new stuff on just my 2nd game!

I'd me more inclined to think it's more a situation where you make peace between them, or they go to war and the outcome is the 'state' that those respective species are in during ME3. Like, if you set them to war in the DLC, during ME3, they are still in this conflict and you have to choose to help resolve it one way or the other in lieu of saving someone else. Perhaps if they are at peace, you can have them protecting a sector of space you might have otherwise sacrificed.

I'm of the mind that the Renegade-type player can achieve victory through superior firepower (Collector base, Alliance fleet dominance), while the Paragon-type player achieves victory through allies and galactic co-operation.

I'd also like to see certain Paragon decisions actually hurt you in the long run, ie. Reprogramming the Heretics. While seeming to be the kinder decision, it would be nice if the Heretics reintegrated, but because the virus was created with the help of a Reaper, Legion wasn't perfect in his reprogramming of it and caused a new wide-spread corruption in all Geth, because, as we know, Reaper tech is a bit tricky to fully understand a la the Reaper IFF.

Same goes for some Renegade decisions like killing the Rachni Queen.

ME1 was a game you could play through perfectly Paragon or Renegade, but the lines started blurring a bit in ME2... like helping Liara, shooting the mech with Garrus' gun, etc. This trilogy should be one where you might have to help someone you don't want to (ie Renegade keeping Rachni alive), or you might have to make the tough decision to prevent a possible future threat (ie Paragon destroying the Heretics/ or even keeping the Collector base) in order to achieve the long-term victory with minimal loss.
