Would Dead Space cross over DLC with new squadmate be passable on the day of the release of ME3?:innocent:

THIS.
On a side note, I think it would be an absolute troll if Bioware released 6 dlc's one day one, where each one is required to play as a different class.

Really in my limited opinion any DLC should be released some time after the original game to aid replayability like it has done with Mass Effect 2. I don't think I was the only one who saw all the DLC for Dragon Age 2 that came out within the first week and thought, "What the deuce? If it's ready for shipping why didn't it come with the game?" Or " I miss old Cereberus network.. remember when we got Zaeed for free?"

I understand the profitability of doing such a thing as you're making people pay a little here, a little there on top of the original purchase but I remember when Addon packs (such as Lucasarts did with the various X-Wing and TIE Fighter expansions) came out a few months, even a year down the line to add replayability to an excellent game.

In summation I'd prefer it if they handled it in the same way as they did with the second game, but it's probably beyond their control now EA are in charge.

EA will probably charge us 10 dollars an hour when we play the game and make us pay for every weapon we need to unlock and even 1 cent for every bullet we shoot.

also every mission will be DLC

[shep82]

I hope so. All the DLC for ME 2 with the exception of the appearance packs has been great.

It's fine but my point was the story dlc has been great while the apperance packs are minor improvements.

Damn, those are some cold hearted CEOs.

If they offer DLC for ME3, I hope they make some side stories, where we no longer play as Shepard.

Only reason is because ME3 is supposed to end Shepard's story, so it would be weird stepping back into the shoes of our character just to go solve some minor problem after the Reaper threat has been resolved.

Which is why my guess is any dlc will have to be completed prior to ME 3's "point of no return*

[archurban]

I guess that Bioware will be pouring DLC twice time than ME 2 because it will be the last game for mass effect universe. ME 2 has 20 DLC. so I demand 40 for ME 3. damnit.

[DustxParticle]

Just chiming in with my 5 cents...

ME3 seems like a pretty conclusive story, sure there'll be 'some' kind of DLC.. but with the impending threat of galactic genocide, would it not make other 'more mundane by comparison' events [aka: story based DLC] quite redundant?

Sure, they may release a DLC that [purely for example] involves you saddling up alongside Ash/Kaiden to storm a base on a human world that now contains a nuke and batarian extremists but.. you know...

[raises left hand] galactic genocide by millenia old sentient machines...?
[raises right hand] one colony wiped off the map by nuclear fire 'instead' of millenia old sentient machines...?

Not to say it wouldn't be fun [which as I just wrote that, I'm now seeing the potential point of such DLC] but again, what story based DLC could they release that isn't overshadowed by the high stakes plot sown within the ME3 story? Add to that, this is the final arc of Shepard's story, so it's not as though you'll need to wait until the next ME game to see how what you do in these DLC add-on's affects your import into the 'next game?'

Exactly! (I was actually trying to figure out how to word something like this properly. You saved me a headache!)

Erm, with that said I do hope that whatever DLC comes out does tie into the main story, and has some gravitas. Course it has to not overshadow the main plot, and be inconsequential to begin with. Oh geeze how could you do that though? I guess if it was the little things? Zaeed comes to mind, specifically when you go to see Archangel with him.

screw a dead space cross over give me a mass effect fantasy star online cross over

Screw both, I want Revan and the Exile as DLC squad mates. Revan left known space to fight a threat to galactic civilization, and then the Exile followed. Now we know what that threat is and they're going to show the Reapers how Sith Lords deal with an army of Mechthulhu.

[Greybox_Inception]

it's a success with mass effect 2, why not?

dragon age origins has more dlc than ME2.

[Phategod1]

I think it depends on the Ratings and initial sales. Look at Fable II vs Fable III Fable II had rave reviews and the announcement of DLC soon came after Fable 3 however there has been only two DLC episodes with very little fan fare.

[FDrage]

Of course they will. They have already done it with ME2 and increased it with DA2 (at least from my point if view) so yes they will definitely do that. Good or Bad? That is something else ... but that doesn't factor into the decision to do it that way.

As long as they do a proper collectors edition and not that stunt with the "signature edition" limited order time and the confusion that caused in the run up to DA2s release.

Well personally I thought Babylon 5 tackled this problem admirably with shifting gears to focus on how all the species of the galaxy had to learn to live with each other after the big war was over. And it took a personal direction with humans and earth, dealing with autocratic governments and the cultural stigma surrounding telepaths, which kind of have an analog in Mass Effect with human biotics. 

But anyways, any of these themes would be rather more cerebral than having Shepard and crew going around blowing **** up, so I'm sure they'd be considered bad ideas and not even considered. I'm really not sure where ME3 could possibly go...Bioware set the game on rails, and deviating from them is going to be difficult without pressing the reset button and killing off/resurrecting Shepard again.

Nope. What is the point of buying DLCs when Mass Effect 3 is the last game of Shepard's story? Just some extra killing session missions? Why won't they just release Map Editor.

Only of any story based DLCs would happen cornologically after ME3 ... obviously that doesn't have to be the case.

Dragon Age: Origins had a system that was in between the two. Basically, you could use the character that had already completed the game to do just the DLC parts. More like a crude compromise than the best of the both worlds, but still the most likely scenario if ME3 has the kind of conclusive ending a lot of us are expecting.

[Alienmorph]

BioWare is one of the few companies who makes worth-to-be-payed DlCs, and without mutilating the main game. I don't have any problem with the fact that ther will be unavoidablely new dowloadable contents for ME3.
