The spoilers were only for the first of five missions. And I read the second page; it was a very brief overview of everything that happens. The only time I consider something a 'major spoiler' is if its a blow-by-blow account.
I also agree that Arrival should be played after SM. Especially if the ending has to do with informing the Council of the Reapers existence. Oh, yeah, that's good. You inform the Council, but you still have to work for Cerberus until after SM. Yeah, not going to happen. (If they have that option in this DLC, anyways). Truthfully, I'd only want to have to deal with the Council to rub the facts into the Turian Councilor's face. I don't like him.
Anyways, we have forty minutes before the interview with the Lead Writer. I'm going to watch.

I really hope that the final mini-mission isn't available until after the SM. The clock is ticking.

Hmm, spoilers arent that big, really. and they only talk abotu one fifth. and no real specifics, other then that there will be no VS ( in mission 1).

Im cautiously anxious, lets just keep it at that.

Indeed. But from that demo and 1 level (which I skipped across to avoid spoilers) a lot of bad things jumped out.

EDIT: Main point as somebody mentioned earlier about pre-Suicide Mission

Tempted, but cautious. I want to look but... don't want it spoiled. Damnit.

LotSB is definitely bridge material - the consquences of LotSB set things up for ME3 - but plays just fine before the SM. This will too. That everyone thought this was an ME3 prequel is a little silly.

It looks really good and paragons will be happy that they have a connection to the alliance again.

Soooo. How can it be classed as bridging DLC if you can do it before the suicide mission?


It can't.

hm after reading a first few words on page two I smell a big backlash...seriously Mac??? you can't come up with anything original without retconing?

I read the first paragraph of Page #2 and I don't see any retcons? If it's not in the first paragraph, then don't tell me what it is, as I'm avoiding heavy spoilers.

Hey guys, here's an interesting concept, not giving fanservice 24/7, the VS not being in it isn't a huge deal. They will be in ME3, if Bioware was that predictable it would be embarrassing.

I am quite excited for this.

There are no retcons in there. Its just people reading from the same old sheet music.

Just because they allow you to play it before the suicide mission doesn't mean that the story is set before it, timeline wise. If it was after the Suicide Mission nobody would buy it. It would be limited DLC available to a select few. I'm sure everyone here has a completed game save but they aren't just marketing it to the super fans but the casual gamers too. People shouldn't look too deep into it and it really isn't a big deal. Just enjoy it and don't complain or don't buy it at all.

Raging about planning to send the asteroid to the Mass Relay, even though they are pretty much indestructible, according to Benezia . Notice how the reporter never got to that actual part, so they might be wrong, or how it may be used to block the path, like CDN hints as doing. Anyway, I think that it's a good question to ask to Mac.

from ign article regarding how long it is



How long is it?
It's hard to say. I'm told that there are five new missions to play through and I only made it through the first one. It seems like you should be able to get a couple hours out of it, depending on how quickly you move through combat segments.

I thought the price drop down to 560 points was because it was definitely gonna be post-suicide mission, but yeah that would hurt sales a lot. The story is probably set up to be bridging material.

The first mission could be disproportionately shorter than the other missions though, so it's all arbitrary.

Ah, fair enough. If they crash an asteroid into the relay and it blows up then I'll join those raging about the retcon.

If the ending is to prove that the Reapers exist and that in some bizzaro world kind of way this DLC can be done before the suicide mission. I want to know how Bioware has handled the Citadel council visit?

I can see it now.  You do the DLC and give the council proof of the Reapers, then go and pay Anderson and the council a visit because you didn't go and do it earlier, during which you get the whole "Ahh yes, Reapers... ) speech off the Taurian idiot.

I'd hate to sound like a geek, but... How can you destroy a Mass Relay with an asteroid or an explosion?

They can survive supernovas without a scratch!
