I would assume so Grumpy, though assumption is the mother of all screw ups hehe....
That being said, Bioware are well known fior completing DLC and not realeasing until quite some time afterwards. I find it hard to believe that they will release this DLC anytime around the launch of DA2, just not good business (though when has that stopped them doing anything dumb before?)....so my guess would be in April sometime.


I know it's not the same but they've released Dragon Age DLC and Mass Effect DLC on the same day before. LOTSB and Witch Hunt.

This "Ultimate Sacrifice" seems interesting, I doubt it's Shepard or the crew, otherwise all the fans (including me) will rage.



They might as well come out and announce the DLC, since the cat is now out of the bag.

Very true Alberto yeah....but as you say, 2 DLC slightly different to DLC and a new game they are pushing...



Still...all speculation right now :)

Jesse sort of did yesterday, and said he needed to speak to PR before he could give us any more details, which he is doing today, but it's only just gone 4 over there, so we have a while to wait yet.

Arrival: Being DLC for ME2, i wont include the reapers as that would be all in ME3, and we already have Harbinger - he of many words.



Arrival seems... to open a lot to the imagination.

Can't think what its about.

 Idk if anyone else has already come up with this but this DLC really sounds like you're not gonna be playing as Shepard; you're going to be in another character's shoes, perhaps even the VS.  Maybe the VS or whoever you play as is sent to rescue the scientist and everything and you ultimately confront the first wave of the Reaper invasion, and the ultimate sacrifice is that character inevitably dying to preserve the scientist's safety and/or delay the advance of the Reapers.  

"Ultimate Sacrifice"  "Last Stand".....

Seems like the "survive all 5 waves" thing could be a final Halo Reach-mission thing (and similar to that Starcraft 2 Protoss mission), you survive as many waves as you can knowing you're going to die.  If you survive the 5 they built into the DLC, probably get swung into a cutscene where who you're playing as finally succumbs to the enemy.  

Some might be dissatisfied with not playing as Shepard, but just using the few context clues available, I think this has the potential to be epic.


That was my first association when I saw this achievment. That may be good chance to see Shepard from the outside. And even more, perhaps there will be difficult battle at last.


Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking.  If by some crazy ripple in space and time I happen to be right and this DLC is told from someone elses's (not Shepard's) perspective, it's a great opportunity for Bioware to develop/further develop said character, even if they do die at the end (this is why the VS seems like a possibility to me).  Hopefully if that's the case, they send a transmission to Shepard just before they die, confirming that the Reaper invasion has begun and they perhaps managed to stall them and save Kenson long enough for her to be rescued or something like that.... imagine the emotional ramifications that should come on Shepard's side, imo giving all kinds of fuel to the fire for ME3.  

Why else do I think you won't be playing as Shepard?  Only other thing I can really say about that is the names of the trophies... Covert Action is not his style one bit (assuming this DLC plays similar to the other ones).  And of course Ultimate Sacrifice, I really doubt he's getting killed off again, but as many have noted this could be a multitude of things being sacrificed so I won't put all my eggs in the basket on that one.

Anyway, I think I'm done speculating and am going to just wait for the actual announcement now :P

They are not going to kill off Shepard, he's in ME3. They may take his humanity though as someone pointed out earlier.
I don't think it's going to be crew. That's too hit or miss, you may not even consider it a sacrifice if it's someone you want to get rid of anyway.

Still the most logical choice is Earth. Whatever you do in the DLC sets up Earth to be a delaying action for the Reaper invasion.

Anyone know if the DA2 demo is coming today on PSN or with the regular update?

I'm still trying to work out why trophies are part of a patch and not just part of the DLC they are supposed to be used with.

Is there a post somewhere that tells you what was fixed? Just interested. I've moved on to KZ3(D) now.

wow. look at the amount of people who read this thread and posted in it compared to the other DLC thread. This one is not even around for a whole day and its already halfway up the other thread when it comes to posts and views :P



I am psyched for the new DLC and really glad that they continue a little with where the CDN was heading with.

Apparently nothing was fixed according the PS3 users who have posted here.....in fact some said there was no patch itself?

Definately a patch at least in the UK. I've got it on my system.

It's only 20MB it's definately not a DLC download unless everything was already on the bluray but I'm sure people have been burrowing through the game and would notice by now, were that the case.

I like the idea of the of the "Ultimate Sacrifice" being a mass shutdown of the relay network. It would probably mean the game takes place over a longer time period, what with FTL travel being snail's pace compared to using the relays.

The trophies were supposed to be hidden, and would show up only after you install the DLC. It seems they screwed something up and it didn't work the way it should.
Why bother adding trophies in DLC when you have an upcoming patch? Why not just add them right now and forget about them?

I wouldn't rule that out at all. The reapers doing a trick like that. After all, they did build the relay network.

I honestly think the sacrifice will be Earth.

 Looks like BioWare has some 'splaining to do :wizard:


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


So you're suggesting that this is the look on Priestly's face right about now?

...Yeah, I could actually believe that...

I'd imagine something more along the lines of this:

Sacrifice the earth in a dlc? I dont think so. You would not downgrade the capital planet of the human race to a mere dlc. No matter how grand that dlc is.

Easiest reason I can think of?If they are part of the DLC download then there is not even a chance they would be seen beforehand even if it was unexpected it still seems a very strange thing do do.

I'm just off to check PSN see if there is any DA2 news I'll pass it along If I find any.

Earth is done for anyway , the only thing the DLC would change is you getting to see first hand what led to it rather than just a cutscene which is what it will be in the start of ME3.

Man, what is this crap? I step away from the forums for ONE DAY and this stuff happens. All you little delinquents need to stop discovering Bioware's boo-boos while I'm GONE.



That said, I need to go find Mordin. I need sedatives.
