Complaining about DLC! YAY!
I have to say though, Bioware drove the DLC madness pretty far. I'm not necessarily opposed to DLC, though after having paid €15 for ME2 (~30-80 hours per playthrough), it would have seemed odd to pay twice that for some 5 hours of extra gameplay, especially considering that non-US PC gamers still haven't got any discounts on DLC. But Arrival took the DLC stuff too far for me. A canon, important part of the story that was purposefully left out of both ME2 and ME3? It should have been free, or have been included with ME3 (perhaps as a tutorial to start with). Now my Shepard has never done anything like blowing up batarians, but in ME3 he suddenly remembers he did so...

Yeah, that's admittedly a sticky situation. Arrival is great content, and it does very well at filling in a few logic gaps from the prime game. It's almost a necessity. Which is a shame because many players won't end up playing it (even though they should, by right).

Wow!! It’s been over two years, but I distinctly remember that part of the marketing on the CE preorder promotion was the inclusion of the Cerberus Network that included premium content (Zaeed…etc.) I pre-ordered the CE (PC) version because of it.
 
If every copy included the CN code at no extra charge, that’s news to me. I kinda feel duped now.
 
Listen, I’m not complaining about paid DLC. I’ve got most of them. Hell, my favorite NPC of all is Zaeed who’s (I thought paid) DLC

They included it in all copies as way of making sure people brought new , when people buy used the money just goes to gamestop or other retailers.

Mass Effect 2 , I think did usher in the dlc crazyness , but it makes alot of sense for this type of game.In mortal kombat all you get is four characters , nothing new gameplay wise and then you find out a year later game of the year edition.

No, every copy came with a Cerberus Network activation code. Which in turn gave you the option to download Zaeed right away. The others just came in later, but were also free.

No when I bought it. They were FREE with the Cerberus Network, but the Cerberus Network itself cost addtional money. you cansee right now if you go to the DLC page in this BSN it costs 1200 Bioware points

Must be regional thing. In Russia we had "DVD box" edition with Cerberus network and "CD box" which was cheaper but without CN.

Still no boxed Collectors edition.

Since when BioWare has free DLC? 

:huh:

ME2
Normandy Crash Site
Zaeed - The Price of Revenge
Cerberus Weapon and Armor
*Arc Projector
Firewalker Pack

DA:O
The Stone Prisoner
*The Lucky Stone
*Embri's Many Pockets
*Amulet of the War Mage
*Helm of the Deep
*Mark of Vigilance

DA:II
The Black Emporium
*The Far Cliffs of Kirkwall
*Lothering's Lament
*Of Things Not lost
*Boots of the Frozen Waste


(*while these are only single weapons or items, they are still DLC available for free)

And sure, while ME2's free DLCs required you to buy the game new, if you buy the game used then of course Bioware isn't going to give you free stuff - they don't get any of the money fro used games. I'm not saying the used game market is wrong, but people who don't want to pay the proper price for games aren't going to get any extra stuff for free.

The PC version of ME1 also had Bring Down the Sky for free.

Dangit! I've already finished my canon ME1 run and I'm already in the middle of ME2.

CONFIRMED (I had also asked about # of disks):

"Can you confirm that #ME3 for PC utilizes keyboard shortcuts for codex/squad menu/mission? What about weapon keybinds? #ME3"

"No to the menu shortcuts. I think you can do weapon shortcuts. Fairly sure 360 is 2 discs."

No PC menu shortcuts.
ME3 for Xbox comes in two disks
Weapon shortcuts (keybinding) is likely in

Could someone ask if there actually is post-campaign play? As in, will it be like ME2 where we can freely roam the galaxy or is it like ME1 where there's no post gameplay period? It's been bothering me for awhile now.. lol

The problem is that you only get a product key for BDtS after registering ME1 on the old forums which are now closed. To get a product key you'll have to contact EA and somehow prove you actually own a legal new copy of the game.

Why the hell would they not include that? Menu navigation was absolute ass in ME2 and they're not fixing that? Damn.

Yes, that was actually my biggest point of criticism against ME2.

Yeah I saw your tweet to him, not sure why not though it seems weapon keybinds are in so at least there's that

It's not a game breaker but it is annoying. Mass Effect 2 on PC had very poor menu navigation. I hear mouse wheel scrolling is back in, which is good, but now I hope they go all the way and include menu shortcuts. Maybe Demiurge should show them how it's done.

QFT. (Well, I still voted for ME2, but you get the idea...) It's little things like this that made ME2 feel like a cr*ppy console port, even though it's otherwise a great game. It's quite disappointing that Bioware can't be bothered to fix something so simple that would improve the experience so much. I mean, how hard can it be to implement 2-3 more key bindings?

This is the first thing I've heard about ME3 that really disappoints me... not because it's such a dealbreaker, but because it's something so simple and basic that I simply can't fathom why the devs won't do it. Especially since we had it in ME1. <_<

Unless it messed with something , it shouldn't but we'll probably never know why they didn't.

Yes, you can continue playing after beating the main story quests.  That has been confirmed for a while now.
