That was already done with the Protheans. If they pull that again Im gonna be disappointed in BW's lack of originality. I hope that Im right and Shepard gets captured by Batarians and starts ME3 in prison.

If Shep gets captured, how are you going to continue playing?

That's the thing; you won't. Hence the speculation that Arrival might conclude ME2 for good.

I'll probably sound really stupid asking but what is this GCD? (I think that's it) that starts on Monday and where can I watch it?

There may or may not be a live feed of the conference. I don't really care about the conference itself anyway, since it's purely professional.

I really don't believe for a second that this leak was unintentional. Bioware is a huge corporation: I doubt they'd accidentally do something as dumb as upload some achievements without meaning to. Also, the OP has only posted this thread, and that's it...

Anyway as I said before, I don't see this 'bridge the gap' DLC being anything huge. They can't just start ME3 players in a Batarian prison randomly: what if a ME 2 player never downloaded the DLC?


Most DLC is also put on discs. I've seen almost every DLC for Borderlands, Fallout 3, Red Dead Redemption, and so on at Best Buy. DLC is pretty easy to come by, even without an internet connection.


Yes, but that doesn't mean people would play it.  Hell they could make the DLC free, and still some people would play ME 2 without this DLC.  I don't see them making such an important event like Shep getting captured and starting the new game without his squad or anything on a DLC: it's like if they had the Normandy getting attacked by Collectors as DLC for ME 1 and ME 2 just started with Shephard in the Cerberus base.  People would be completely confused.

Plus because of the nature of the story, with choices, they have to be prepared for anything that happens in the DLC to have NOT HAPPENED when people start ME3.

The Sol relay being somehow cut off from the network would be interesting, but it would be major enough that I doubt it's in DLC. If it happens it will be in ME3.

Huh, that's strange, then that means that Liara as the new SB will be forgoten.

but if its locked the normandy can still use it cause they have the reaper iff and if you throw in the teaser trailer it would make sense as to why no ships are in orbit

She could still be the new Shadow Broker, just Shepard won't have helped her become the SB.  That can be accomplished without Shepard being involved.

It would be kind of hard, however, for Shepard to be captured without Shepard being involved...

The other option, of course, is to simply have ME3 check if you did the DLC, and if you didn't it could present the events in a cutscene as part of the intro so you know wtf is going on.

*Edit* - It's also possible that Liara *won't* be the new SB for people who didn't play LotSB.

I had a theory what this ultimate sacrifice might be and before I begin Spoilers ahead its similar to Dragon Age when you must choose whether to use the Anvil Of The Void or destroy it, there is this artifact in ME: Evolution called the Arch of Monolith that seems to transform organics into diesel badasses im thinking that maybe this artifact (perhaps the Object of Rho) is part of the Ultimate Sacrifice either use it by sacrificing ppl to make shock troops against the reapers or destroy it

This

And if Shepard is captured they could just make a "Previously In ME2" video for the ME3 Intro, explaining everything that happened in ME2, DLCs included.

I don't think they'll do that.  I don't think they'll put anything in the DLC that will make people feel like they missed out on a chunk of the main story.

It's they're problem for not getting them. Are we supposed to abandon Liara as the new SB? Hell no! Same goes here. Shepard gets captured in the DLC and we get a cliffhanger connecting to ME3.

lol, just because you want that to be what the DLC is doesn't make it true.

I also don't think they'll do something big in a DLC, but if they do, it wouldn't be hard to explain what happened.

I have this gut feeling that it's going to be something no one has called yet. Something that's gonna come out of left field and have us all saying "huh... now why didn't -I- think of that"

For all we know, the devs made this thread to see what people wanted from the DLC. And my idea is the top of the ranking board right now.

Gotta be honest, Pwn, it's probably a little late in the game for the Devs to be changing the DLC right now. I'd imagine we're going to get a release sometime in the near future, and that's not usually the time devs start saying "Okay, now let's take it to the fans and see how they wanna change it."



I'm reasonably certain that the plotline for the DLC is already set in stone.
