In unrelated news I just learned the f5 button refreshes! Anyway new Mass Effect 2 DLC, what a fantastic presidents day/ family day gift, even if it was unintentional. Can hardly contain my excitement!

It will be V.S. romance DLC.  Liara got one.  It's now time for Sheploo and Kaidan to make up


Sorry, all the yaoi fangirls are at the DA2 boards.


That I am not.  Just a KaidanxSheploo shipper. Snap judgements are lovely, aren't they?:P

I'm in the same boat!!!!!

Sounds like we all need to get off the forums :lol:

At least mine should be done soon.


Woe.  I plan to have this substantial revision finished by Friday so I can take it easy (slightly) over my two week SPRING BREAK!  Lol!  Yeah, I never should have stopped by, but I'm so weak, so very weak.  I keep telling my husband to disconnect the internet at home until I'm finished and then I sneak on while I'm at school. :ph34r:

Let's all commiserate together. 
And then celebrate when we are all finished! :o

Aaand I'm a little scared about the Ultimate Sacrifice Achievement/Trophy!  What does this mean?!  I AM A STRICKEN! No more deaths! *coughatleastuntilmasseffect3cough*


Meh, another death wouldnt bother me so much.  So long as it's not my character doing the sacraficing anyway lol

Naw, when we added the trophies to the patch we just assumed that they would be invisible.  Lesson learned :)

Anyhoo it is family day (bank holiday) here in Edmonton, and I'm going to go hang out with my family for the day!  


If it makes it any better Bioware are not the first this has happened too (and probably won't be the last).  As I said in an earlier post Rockstar accidentally revealed that the GTA 4 DLC was coming to the PC by "accident" via the GFWL achievements.

Is this supposed to be the final DLC before ME3?

wasn't LotSB supposed to be the first out of a 3-DLC-arc leading to ME3?

or is the alternate appearance count as one? X_X



never mind.

Okay, so, we have to rescue some chick that's come across some vital information... wait a second... maybe 'Arrival' stand for Shepard Arriving at Earth to save this person... and while he is there, the reapers come and attack earth, so it's open an open ending.... in ME3 you'll have to flee from earth to get help from the citadel, the krogans (by curing the genophage if you saved the data), the geth (again, IF you made them allies like Legion) the Rachni (IF you saved them) and all of your former squad members, while Liara (as the shadowbroker) is searching for information on how to destroy even a SINGLE reaper.
That and more, leading up to the main battle: that starts in SPACE (Yes bioware, you promised us... :'( ) and ends somewhere on earth.

And if this is all true, ME3 will suck.... to easy guessing.


Sounds interesting actually. it may be interesting to set the arrival of the Reapers to the galaxy in
this DLC, or at least to make their arrival possible. Then ME3 start
point would be of the reapers already attacking Earth, as seen in the debut trailer (ME2 cinematic trailer was also the beginning point of the game).

I still think that it's too important plot step to be played as a DLC, but... when defeating Saren and the Sovereign in ME1, facing preperations for Reaper invasion, I never imagined I'll wake up in ME2 dissmissed by the coucil, being dead for two years, braught back to life to work for Cerberus, to fight a new species that's abducting humans (and destroy them), and meanwhile the council sits and do nothing about the Reapers (that we know of), despite of Sovereign.

So I guess anything can happen between ME2 ending point and ME3 starting point.

This is the last dlc, and there is no indication that Ash/Kai will be involved. Nothing at all. If this is the case I will not be buying ME3 at all. I will rent it, if I like it I will buy it used. 

ME3 sucks because Ashley and Kaidan will return in it and not DLC?

No, I will not reward Bioware for shafting two characters and ignoring them. Plus Walters is lead writer and has destroyed the series. It can't be saved. Us fans have waited over a year, Liara fans got what they want and it was amazing, but Ash/Kai fans have got nothing but getting ignored and shat\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\fted. If you can't understand that then don't bother responding.


Ever thought about that the VS fans gets something huge in ME 3?

I'm going to throw this out there for a bit of fun.



Fans have been asking for Virmire Survivor DLC for a while now and considering that there's a stealth mechanic involved in one achievement, I'm entertaining the possibility that this could be stand-alone DLC. Perhaps we get to play as Ashley/Kaiden (instead of Shepard and his squad) and address the opening events of the Reaper invasion while also tackling the Alliance-Reaper subplot (in Kasumi's mission, I spotted a Reaper in one screen). And this would culminate in the VS's death - the achievement title reminds me of dialogue surrounding Virmire.



Considering that if this deals with the arrival of the Reapers - if it does at all - what happens after completing the DLC? Are you released back into an unchanged galaxy? This would side-step this issue entirely while offering a new experience for players.



Of course, how would Shepard find out about the VS's death?



And finally, it's more possible and probable that this will be more run-of-the-mill normal DLC, with Kenson's death capping off the scenario (the sacrifice). However, if this is the case and Shepard and his squad tackle this mission, I'd say this points in favor of the ME2 squad returning in full for ME3.

Grayson and Saren where Reaper avatars. More dangerous then husk. They could still think, had strong biotic powers and could take alot of pain. They also have a mission for them(Saren getting Sovie into the galaxy and Grayson sending biotic information to Reapers) A husk does not have a mission, they are mindless and only dangerous in packs.


Clearly they were avatars, husks are mindless. Saren and Grayson would have ultimately lost their minds due to prolonged exposure and become what exactly....?

Heres an example.  The target you have to rescue has stealthed her way behind enemy lines into their base in order to locate her objective.  The enemies don't know she is there, but she is in communication with you via radio etc.  She tells you that she has achieved her objective but has injured herself in the process and now cannot exfiltrate herself without assistance.  Shepard needs to stealth his way into the base, and rescue her.  Doing this without alerting any hostiles nets you an achievement.

No hostage situation.

Sooooo, she is trapped against her will? :wizard:
Also, I love scientists who are somehow stealth into a base and do super-spec-op stuff, don't you.



As for what you said about the object being heavy, well, you've already admitted yourself that you assumed as much.

Only partially. Ever read Evolution, yea.

So now that's two self determined "facts" of yours that have now been proven to be speculation or guesswork, and that's all I can be arsed to achieve.  

lolwat. Try actually dismissing my points next time before claiming to do so.

You are completely wrong about my first point since is trapped and Shepard has to save her, Shepard will have to protect the objective, and the object can not be extracted. :P 
There is a thing called as constructive criticism. You and half of the forumites have never heard of it, pal.

I get the impression that you're one of these guys who would sit here and reply to posts all night, and frankly, I have neither the time or the inclination. 

As to you comments about chocolate bars, I dont even know what you're talking about.  (but I'm pretty sure its probably a fact) 

Nice attitude. Wait, are you the poster that made fun of someone else's IQ in his/her signature? Yeah, posting quality,personal attacks,elitism and retarded insults justified. Bye, bye. :whistle:

This leak was probably intentional, and they are probably looking/reading this thread and smiling at how everyone is so excited.



No and Yes :)

More info as soon as I get a green light from PR and Marketing I promise!  (it's a holiday here today)


So probably a reveal tomorrow?

Sure. But  I live in Alberta. It was introduced simply because we wanted a holiday in February.

But besides the point - I seriously hope we get some detail in the next few days that will drive this frenzy into overdrive. Posted Image

Unless the Reapers had more in store for them. Had Saren succed he most liekly would have been killed. He hadl ived his purpose. Grayson however is hard to tell. Therem ight have been more to the mission then we see and he failed.

I would love to see some CQC Shepard in this DLC. LOTSB just needed some more refined animations and it would have been perfect for the final boss.

Overlord was part 1, since that was when they started saying "story" DLC.
