Anyone know if there is more DLC coming? I would love to be able to level a little more and fully develop all the powers.

Nope. Arrival was the last story DLC, and was supposed to be the last DLC (Although I'm still of the opinion that the Appearance Packs aren't done yet).

You're not supposed to fully develop your powers, however. You're supposed to decide which ones you want to fully develop and those you don't.

Nothing, because it comes into effect before you're able to save the game. It only has any significance or meaning for new characters, and I think only those that have been started without importing a save from Mass Effect 1.

Yeah, but that's no fun.

What if I'm in the middle of a ME2 playthrough? Do I have to start a new playthrough with Genesis?

If you want to use Genesis, you have to start a new character. If you're currently in a playthrough, you won't be affected by Genesis. It only comes into effect, and you will only ever access it, if you start a new character.

We already have most of it. The Terminus armour hasn't yet been released, and I doubt it will be now, and the 'Recon Operations Pack' has the Dr Pepper DLC (Which I think is now unavailable, but I could be wrong) and the Collector's Armour, which likely will never be released for those without the Digital Deluxe or Collector's Editions of the game.

Nope the Dr pepper ones are not available and were pretty much unattainable to anyone who lived outside the united states unless you had friends online send you codes. As for the collecter armor I would say leave it a collecter edition bonus, but the ps3 version will always have it available kinda rubs it in the faces of those who either got into the game late or just couldnt get the collecters edition.

As for the bundle as a whole, I would rather buy it as a bundle at a great price then buy each dlc seperatly, tbh im waiting for that more than anything that and the black hole gun...

Meh, I'll wait for it to be added to the ultimate, GOTY, Uber edition, of ME2 release, just finished the first one anyway, and playing through again while I wait (going by the recent track record of Bioware/EA, that edition will get released around a month or two before ME3).

Just downloaded this. Well done. I would love to see something similar on other games where save-import is available. In particular I like not having to play all the way through ME1 to generate the save-game I'm looking for. (I did that probably 3 or 4 times btw, played through ME1 just for the end-game save. I could have done without the last playthrough)

I liked the comic format as well, but for my part I'm not sure I'd consider it a necessary component of future utilities such as this.

Well I'm really thankful Bioware released Genesis for Xbox. Saved me from having to play ME1 again. I already have a complete playthrough so I don't feel the desire to play it again. This way I can create an appropriate back story for my new Shepards. :)

I hope Bioware does something like this for ME3 as well.

People are complaining that they shouldn't have to pay for it if us PS3 players got it for free. Firstly this isn't necessarily true as it came with the Cerberus Network. This is why you should shut up though.

The PS3 version came at full price a year later.
The first game isn't even on the PS3. Xbox and PC fans could always pay two or three more quid and get the full first game.
The PS3 version is more a GOTY edition than a normal copy. It came with Overlord, Kasumi and Lair of the Shadow Broker.

People also don't seem to be taking into account the fact that some of us have played ME1 into the dirt and would like to spend 15 minutes as opposed to several days when we start ME2 on a new system. I have ME1+2 on xbox, and bought them both on steam when they were cheap a while back. I don't want to play through hours of game time on ME1 just to make the same decisions I've made 20+ times before so my ME2 game will be the way I want it. Time is money, and in this case, quite literally. $3 or $4 is well worth the saved time to jump back in the saddle.


EDIT: Basically what Withidread said.  I glossed over his post before I went on my little spiel.

Why do you make things so hard to find? You have to go 3 different places for stuff: Origin for somethings, bioware.com for others, still masseffect.com for others. Come on guys. I've been hunting this down for an hour.
