So anyoen guessedd that good doctor was Indoctrinated from the moment hey met her? Or from the moment the entered the Project base?


I didn't think about it before Shepard mentioned indoctination when they were in the shuttle, but after that I thought "I bet she is indoctrinated"

As for the ending, Zulu will have a field day. I was so hoping it wouldn't come to this... damn it.

What about me? I've been pushing the 'Shepard on trial' ME3 opening as long as he has. Don't I get to gloat?

Huh? Huh? Huh? What about me?

Can anyone tell me what the new Research is?


Hey bro.

Heavy Skin Weave and Heavy Weapon Ammo.


There's a medi-gel upgrade too.


Only reason I didn't bring it up is because I don't recall finding it.

Or maybe I did and it just slipped my mind. Anyway, it'll count.

So there's three.

Gonna toss my two coppers in there:

Great job on the DLC, guys. Good scripting, level design, atmosphere, v/o work, new art assets. I really enjoyed it. The nearest I can get to saying something negative about it is that Hackett looks way too much like Zaeed, and that Joker was uncharacteristically mute in the final sequence. Even a canned "Yes sir!" when Shep tells him to punch it at the end would've been spot on.

Keep up the fine work, Bioware.

To be perfectly honest, if that is in fact true, its probably because Zulu has a bigger online presence than you.

Sort of similar to the Tali-romance situation. People followed me when I brought it up years ago and the fandom grew to the point where it couldn't be controlled and all the new members forgot how the fandom got started.

I'm sure there were folks before me who wanted Tali to be a romance option. That might as well be guaranteed.

But they didn't have as big a presence on the forums as I did. I pushed the idea around, people caught on, backed me up, did the same thing, 5 became 20, 20 became 200, 200 became 2000, and now look at it.

So, if it counts for anything, I'll give you credit. Even though I don't remember anyone but Zulu pushing around the idea behind a trial and jailing of Shepard.

A question. I heard it is possible to play Arrival before the suicide mission. Does anyone know if the story changes then. Since after Arrival, if I understand it correctly the reapers have arrived in the galaxy, but they are pretty much stuck in one system because Shepard destroyed the mass relay, and at the end of ME2 you see how the reaper fleet awake, so I don't see how Arrival can take place before the suicide mission, so I curious if something changes if you do arrival before suicide mission.

I didn't know. OK you get gloating rights too, LOL.

Admittedly the setup for ME3 is interesting. I'm only annoyed that I'll likely be forced to play with new characters yet again. That's very high up on the list of things I didn't want for ME3.

Welp one thing is for sure, I don't think the four eyes will be one of our allies in ME3.

I prefer to think that this scene shoud be shown after ME1. Two years of travel from dark space is decent enough.

Before the Suicide Mission, it works the same way. The Reapers are coming, and can be here in days. Minutes before they can get through the relay, Shepard stops it, so it'll take them much more time now.

This DLC is DEFINITELY more sensible if done after The Suicide Mission. But it still makes sense if done before.

Everyone dies except the team mate you sacrificed back on Virmire who miraculously survived and parties on the Citadel alone with no one to stop them from doing whatever they please.

I agree with the comments that this is a nice lead-in for Mass Effect 3, but it's not up the standard of other ME2 DLC. The cutscenes were a good teaser for what is to come, and the stealth section in the Batarian prison was an interesting change of pace, but all that running around in the Project base was pretty repetitive and didn't seem to have much purpose other than to drag the story out for an extra half-hour.

I think the most disappointing thing for me was that lack of a big boss encounter. The final showdown was one of the easiest fights in the mission for me - take out the first wave of guys, then hit the YMIR so hard that it goes nuclear. Instant win! The only thing differentiating that second half of the mission from standard ME2 action is that you're fighting alone. If I just wanted to be guided down a linear path and be ambushed by the same 3-4 varieties of goon time and again, I could just play my copy of ME2 for free.

Still, as promotional material goes, that was alright. I'll be interested to see how this trial business affects the story.

Yeah, this DLC was in desperate need of a boss. Some sort of boss.

Lair gave us two, both of which were unique.

This gave us NONE.

Ah, good old joke topic. Back in the day when some Par- people were incredibly insistent that there was no basis whatsoever about bringing their Shepard to trial for anything.

If only more people had laughed. The premise was funny.

There were three research upgrades? That's what I get for skipping rooms with hostiles to get the Covert Action achievement. I only got one.
Things I liked:
- Combat
- Mech Section
- Stealth Section
- Hackett
- Music
- Scenery When Getting To The Comm Tower
- Upgrades
Things That Sucked:
- Short Length
- No Boss Fights
- Not Enough Dialogue Choices
- Only Two Areas
- Underwhleming Ending
- Not Enough Extras

Simply put BioWare, if there had been more meat on this DLC it would have been as good as LotSB in my opinion.

Score: 78%
