So just to be clear - has anyone managed to download the PC version of Arrival yet? It sure hasn't shown up where I'm looking for it...

[Unato]

mmm i reckon it fills the role of bridging the 2 games... it certainly did a better job then what witch hunt did but that's prob harsh since DA2 has nothing to do with DA:O ( well vaguely anyway)

as for Shep going rogue... it depends when ME3 opens up... judging from the DLC the reapers are just months away so they might be slowed, but they haven't slowed that much

Same here. Hasn't appeared on the DLC website . . . . .

[Unato]

the link was (maybe still is) in the announcement thread @ announcement forum, in the 50s page area. you just can't unlock it after downloading cause you can't buy the DLC yet (install is fine)

To anyone who has played it.

Is it worth the 560 points?

If you are a fan of the series and want what could be the most relevant DLC to ME3, then yes.

If you are looking for something of a similar length to Lair of the Shadow Broker with just as much content, then no.

LOTSB is 800 points. They priced it fairly.

[Unato]

for story? yes for 5hrs of entertainment? nup

Well, I've just finished Arrival, overall it's worth the money. However, it is pretty combat heavy and about an hour long. Personally think it is weak compared to LotSB in terms of pacing, but still a good story (when compared to the Collector missions in the main game). Overall 8/10.

I don't quite get it, why is the PC version coming out later than the xbox?

I'm a huge fan of this particular DLC, but I disagree if I am looking exclusively at the gameplay perspective. At most, you ended up with 45 minutes worth of material if you played on Normal. That really isn't much longer than the amount of time it took to accomplish all of the Firewalker missions, which were all free with the Cerberus Network. I can sympathize that there was a lot more dialogue and story going into this DLC than Firewalker, but the actual gameplay was VERY short. I think Overlord also took me twice as long the first time through as this one did and that was priced at 560 as well.

From the storyline perspective, I feel this is the only DLC you cannot ignore. Liara becoming the Shadow Broker is extremely important for the Mass Effect universe, but this particular DLC is going to be the most relevant to Mass Effect 3 in my opinion. Thus, I think it is a necessary DLC.

I just completed the arrival....I have to say...its epic but doesn't have much Impact

[Major Alenko]

Can anyone describe what's different if you do this before end game?

[Unato]

Xbox and PS3 updates at a set interval, I doubt MS / Sony will stop or change schedule for one DLC for one company.

Sh*t, shouldn't have read this thread. Voluntarily sticking my nose into The Spoiler Zone is going to be the end of me...

The main difference is that you talk to the Collector General instead of Harbinger if you do it before the suicide mission, but it's pretty much the same conversation. There might be some difference with the chat with Hackett at the end but I'm not sure on that one.

[Soma Holiday]

Just finished, kinda disappointing. Really doesn't bridge any gaps between the games, no real unique gameplay aspects. Most surprising...I found myself bored, even though its only 2 hours long. The characters aren't interesting and it seems throw away. You are alone the entire time, which is annoying without Overload. 0_0 Kinda the least interesting dlc yet in my opinion...nowhere near as good as lotsb, or even Overlord. Oh wells...

As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the hologram of Harbinger will be in the shape of the Collector General if you have not completed the game yet. If you did, the hologram will be in the shape of a Reaper.

[vertibird1]

Just completed it i thought it was good but i was wondering can Shepard die in the DLC?

No, this really isn't an accurate statement at all.

Infiltrating the Batarian prison was something very different, and the battle for Object Rho was pretty unique. The Rite had a similar wave structure, but was far less intense.

The fact that you played most of it solo was a fairly new gamerplay aspect as well.

It's just a shame that there wasn't an interesting boss fight. Overlord and LotSB had two apiece.

[Fushine]

I was wondering the same and was thinking about the timer what if you wait 2 days and 3 hours just by doing nothing leaving ME2 on will reapers arrive?

[Major Alenko]

At the end of my DLC Hackett referred to my ship no longer being Cerberus, is this because I blew up the station at the end of the game? Is that different if you do it pre suicide mission?

I guess I meant in comparison to LOTSB which had the race sequence, and Overlord which had the awesome tron type level at the end.  Arrival was standard in terms of no unique enemies, all mercs or mechs, just different approaches to killing them.  The bot part was new, but it reminded me of the last chronicles of riddick game so it felt a little cheap and too short.  The prison part was different how, because their were buttons to push?  Apparently you can stealth it, but it still came down to turning corners and shooting enemies.  in my opinion none of the gameplay was that interesting, but I guess that's just my opinion.
