I don't really have a problem with creatures of the same race looking pretty much the same...afterall it's commonly accepted in the ME universe that humans are really the only ones that are diverse. Most of these things you all have listed I never even pay attention to...so clearly it's not a huge concern for me at least. I don't expect every single NPC in the game to have unique everything...thats just unrealistic standards.

True, it was fairly well established that the other races have less genetic variety then humans so I can accept copy paste with some minor color change for the other races.  As a gamer it's fairly common place to see generic npc characters, too.  Not a big issue to me.  BUT when you use copy/paste with some minor tweaking - facial hair/scar/uniform for a character like Hackett that just screams ''lazy''.  At the very least they could've modified his eye color and hair color more then they did.  The eyes on Hackett just scream 'Zaeed!'.  If they're gonna take the time/money to get Lance to do the VA is it really *that* hard to come up with an original face or at least mod Zaeed's to the point it isn't so blantantly obvious to everyone?

Maybe this is our witch hunt? Rushed dlc to the max?

Maybe, maybe not.  I wont be able to tell you until after I get back from the Disturbed concert (which willprobably be around 12-1am the morning of release seeing as how XBL releases at midnight) I am, however, very stoked about a true solo mission.  I played ME1 as close to "solo" as I could by constantly telling my team to stay put.  (Yes, 3 people are a team not a squad.  In military jargen, a squad is comprised usually of 9 soldiers.  With 3 soldiers being in each team, and the 9th being the squad leader.  And in those teams, there is usually a team leader assigned.) Sorry, that just always rubbed me wrong in ME2 when they would inaccurately refer to a 3 "man" team as a "squad" lol.

[LordHelfort]

Anyone have an idea at what time the thing itself is actually released, or is it available as of like 12:01 a.m.

[wolfennights]

Well, I was playing ME2 pretty late last night and noticed the Cerberus Daily News posting for today was up around midnight.

So I'm guessing it will be up around midnight. If not, then I will stay up all night until it is released. then I will download it and go to bed. Cus my internet is through satellite, so it would be a while before I could play.

Have they said what 304942 turned out to be?

If you've seen the image of Shepard and the doctor (Amanda Kenson), there is another set of numbers.

I think it was the IGN article that said the countdown was for the arrival of the Reapers, which would happen in two days.

So perhaps the 304942 means 30 minutes or 3 days until the Reapers arrival. Of course, that is assuming the 304942 is a countdown. It also depends on the order of the "countdowns" in the DLC.

Probably around midnight if you're talking XBL.

[Yakko77]

I'm starting to wonder if the Reapers are actually coming through this relay in two days in the mission. I think it's just a trap to lure Shepard into. Don't destroy the Relay and.... nothing. No Reapers. Then you can use that to let the batarians know that you, a human, just saved hundreds of thousands of their species so show some freakin' gratitude and lay off the terrorism a bit. If you do blow up the relay then you can at least have the satisfaction of killing a bunch of guddamn batarians and give then a legitimate reason for once to hate humanity.... or at least Shepard.

I'm probably wrong but we'll find out in a day and a half.

[Resiant1998]

Im going to download it right after release, good thing I live in europe cause i can probably download it sometime in the morning^^.

bit off topic, but has anyone else around here a problem to connect his xbox with xbox live cause i always get the message tha signing in doesnt work, hopefully the problem is solved so i can download the DLC on tuesday. . .

Won't know until we play it.  It's true BW never has been big on graphics, but still seems half assed even for them. Hopefully, the content of the dlc will out shine it.  So far their dlc has been more 'sizzle' then 'steak' to me.

[Someone With Mass]

Why is everyone making such a big deal out of something that insignificant?
Oh, BioWare can't reuse a face, call the whaaaambulance.


Just play and enjoy the DLC for what it is.

[eoinnx02]

Wait so are some of your guys saying that it will be realeased Monday night(12:01AM/Tuesday morning)
Or will it be Canadian time? I'm in Ireland so they are 7hrs behind us, or will X-box live have the release come out depending on where you are?
I wish some bioware official would come out and mention this stuff, its so confusing as it changes for most DLC.

at the very latest Ill wager itll be 3am, given time difference etc.  But more often than not XBL releases content at midnight based on location pretty much.  At least from my experience anyway.

Only 2 days guys now !

Err, are you sure? Link?

They said that the first part is a solo mission. And at the end of the IGN preview, where the guy played the first two levels of the DLC - it definitely could set it up for the VS coming to help Shepard.

I'm not holding my breath though, but it's still a possibility.

They as in IGN who never finished the whole thing? Well OK then! That's that. Must be the truth if IGN said it huh, they're phychic over there too....Everything they say is 100% correct. However seeing as Michael Schumacher failed to even finish, I don't hold out much hope of anything. Including Kaidey Waidey....

[GrumpyGit]

2 SLEEPS TO GO!!! Just finished ME2 again, all survived, and I am ready to kill some evil Batarians, This will be EPIC. From now on I am not going on the Forums till after I have played Arrival... Cos when LOTSB came out the forums where flooded with spoilers on realese day.

-Grumpy, Signing out till completed rescue mission of Dr Amanda Kenson and uncovered a possible new Reaper threat.

[Jigster1]

Well I'll be having an early night tomorrow (Monday) so Tuesday can come quicker! =D

To be honest, I think the VS helping Shepard in Arrival would be so mind-numbingly lame.

Why? I've never appreciated fanservice that's shoehorned for no good reason.

[wotmaniac]

Sorry to dissapoint, but ME2 has a good ol' bit of fanservice in it...>.> Miranda

02:03:25:26    Days:hours:minutes:seconds, 8 numbers. 304942 would appear to be an independant puzzle.

If you reverse it, take the first number, skip one, take the third, skip two, take the sixth you get 293 or 29/3; the release date. Seems like bit of a stretch tho, dunno about the 4 4 0 you get left over.
