awaiting ultimate edition, learned my lesson with Dragon Age: Origins, won't waste $60 on DLC, only for it to be free a few months down the road.

Still thinking the Ultimate Sacrifice is Earth. Given the 5th fleet is based at Arcturus Station witch guards the relay to the Sol System, I'm gessing Shepard has to leve them to the Reapers so he can escape and present evidaence of the Reaper invasion to the council.

Ive been very dissapointed with the dlc for this game thus far. It took them this long? It just seems like all attention was on the dragon age series.

[Cossack72]

I wish they'd release those Dr. Pepper things too. I know they're promo items and all, but I'd pay for that recon hood. My Infiltrator feels naked without it...

[KieraShepard]

YES! I want those released too...I jumped on the Mass Effect bandwagon with ME1 in February, and only beat ME2 a few weeks ago. I wasn't around when all those promotions were actually available. But more than anything, I just want this DLC. I need some more Mass Effect to tide me over until ME3.

Hrmmm...maybe I'll go buy Dragon Age while I wait

[DustxParticle]

Just to put it out there, if no one has came to this conclusion already, but 'Arrival' DLC is 'not' likely to cause your current playthrough to end [in preparation for start of ME3].

Why am I so sure? Well to itirate on that, I don't know beyond a measure of a doubt, but deductive reasoning led me to this conclusion. The DLC boasts 3 new achievements and new research, now as all the other story DLC's also itirate, they also come with 'new research' which is in the form of "Heavy Pistol Tech x5" or "Heavy Weapon Tech x6" etc, etc.

Since you can't actually put this research to use until you are safely back on the Normandy, it would seem 'very' redundant to be given advanced technology which by the conclusion of the DLC your game is effectively 'locked' and primed for Import -> ME3, meaning you won't even be able to use the tech anyway.

Once more, just to reitirate, I don't 'know' this for certain, just thought I'd chime in on the speculation being thrown every which way. There is however, a possibility that the DLC won't simply be one long run from start to finish and instead consist of several locations which you run around the normandy between these places [thus giving you the chance to utilize your newly acquired research] buuuuuuuuut... if that's the case, the 'new research' would still seem quite redundant.

Unless it's a different 'kind' of research BW is tweaking with to see how it meshes with the fanbase and whether or not it'd be a good idea to add it into ME3, but that there is 100% speculation on my part.

By this logic [assuming it is correct], this would seem to greatly disprove the popular theory that ME3 will start within a batarian prison. However you could still get caught as well as escape in the same DLC, thus allowing you to continue your playthrough.

Thanks for reading

EDIT: Even though it has no relevance to the content itself, the 'cost' of this DLC does seem to be a good indicator of it's size, based on previous DLC content < price.

YES! Also, not to be "that guy", but the fact that this is so cheap makes me a little nervous. Here's to optimism.

[moonmythology]

Oh dear. I won't be able to play it on the first day as I will be on a 747 from London to Manila with a long stopover in Hong Kong. Sigh. Life. I guess I have to find a way to play it once I get to Manila.

Tough call...international travel or Mass Effect.. would be epic to have both. Especially on those long flights! May want to avoid the forums when you get a chance to play if you don't want to be spoiled

Judging by some of the comments in the other arrivial thread I think quite a few people thought that Arrivial was the 1st part of the bridging dlc before ME3 (as per some bioware dev quotes ("multiple bridging dlc along the lines of Lair of the Shadow Broker")).

Ugh, tell me about it. BioWare cutting short DLC support is getting on my nerves now. DA:O's content got cut short by over a year.

I actually think Biowares done a great job with DLC. Since the game is a year old, and most games don't even get THAT much DLC.

[Pepper4]

This game got the best DLC treatment of all times. Stop crying about lack of DLC.
Mass Effect 2 is more than a year old. Its a great thing that they keep releasing DLC for such a long time.

Dragon Age's DLC was a mess and was cut short by over a year. We were told two years of content, and got less than a year. Mass Effect 1 was supposed to have multiple DLC pieces, and we got two. Mass Effect 2 was supposed to have multiple bridging DLC packs, and we have... Two, and about three-quarters of a year until ME3.

Not doubting Arrival's quality, but it'd be nice if BioWare stood by their word for once.

Gotta agree with this.  Sure, we didnt get as much "bridging" DLC as some would have hoped.  But as far as Im concerned, the fact that they've released this much DLC is sodding impressive.  Im very much looking forward to Arrival being the last DLC.  As long as they give it a proper "set up" for ME3.  What Im most looking forward to though about this DLC is apparently finally getting to see the "man" behind Admiral Hackett instead of just a voice like in ME1.  Sure, I hate the Alliance as a whole, but I do like Anderson and Hackett.  So yea, Im a little psyched for this DLC.

[MasterofMunchaster]

I'm getting more and more convinced that this is in fact an April fools joke

I  was very.. vocal.. in my displeasure at how DLC was handled with ME1 but ME2 delivered great DLC content.  Kasumi, Overlord and LotSB were all fantastic.  My big hope for this DLC is that we're still not getting messages from Cerberus Command/TIM as 5 out of 6 of my Sheps destroyed the CB and told TIM  to get in line.

[jshadow]

Please! Give us the trailer already.

Cow and Chicken!

[OriginalDiSarray]

I have to say i'm quite worried about this DLC since i've seen the price (560 MS Points). So i'm expecting a half ar*ed piece of DLC now. I'm hoping for LotSB standard but i guess we'll see come the 29th.
