But this is not the case of a new game or a new customer. I dont think it is too much to ask for Bioware to throw a little nod to us hardcore loyalists for purchasing 3 consecutive games...
A list of characters that you probably only encounter if you've played one, or both, of the preceding games would be a list of nods to long-term mass effect players. That list would likely include characters like: Shiala, Gianna Parasini, Kirrahe, Conrad Verner, Rana Thanoptis, the Rachni Queen and the ultimate fan favourite Wrex.
I haven't read the leaked material, or followed releases particularly close for fear of spoiling it for myself, but I'm guessing all or most of those characters will be buried in the games programming but only unlockable if you've brought characters forward.
That's added content, and a lot more valuable than an extra rifle or a different off-duty costume.
Maybe I am old school and just long for the days when companies made it seem the fans were everything to them. Instead we get this attitude of "if you want the content you do what it takes to get it". So if that is the way Bioware is going, this could be my last Bioware game. I am a small fish so my money may not matter unless there are countless other small fish that feel the same as me.
I don't believe it ever worked that way before. All these added content incentives are relatively recent innovations, and I think potentially self-destructive for the industry. There was a time that products were expected to stand on their own merits (plus advertising budgets), but now we're inundated with tacky bribes to purchase programs that we already want to own.
Generally when I get special discounts or offers for products I expect them from retailers not producers. I don't have any relationship with bioware (aside from occasionally posting here), but I do have a relationship with the people at the gamestore. If they feel like offering sales, discounts or specialist incentives then that's awesome and I appreciate it; when a producer does it I barely even notice, certainly I don't expect these things handed out to me just because I'm such a valuable commodity.
