I would have prefered Zaeed 2.0. The idea of a Prothean squadmate was retarded when it was just a rumor and it's still retarded. I wish I could pay $10 to have any reference to it removed from the game, assuming there's any hooks for it in there if I don't install it.

How dare Bioware charge money for stuff they make!? Those horrible ****s!

I own(or am about to anyway) a CE. This is my issue with you guys crying foul. The ME team has said the game is complete without this DLC. You all claim that it can't be so; that is conjecture. Wait till you play the game and see if the experience is truly complete, then you can outrage if it isn't. As it is now, its your word against theirs and theirs will win because you know, they made the game.

I know considering the character, there is a great obligation as a fan of the series to have it but shouldn't it be so for any DLC they release? They said they finished it post certification, yet people are saying they're lying even after they underlined their certification process. Stop supporting stance where you have no proof. Unless you get some inside information that says otherwise, there are no grounds for your claims.

The fact that there was going to be a prothean was leaked with the CE announcement. I pre-ordered with that fact well in mind. Chris' attempt at redaction was a huge fail. That being said, would it not diminish the value of my pre-order if this is made free? or should I just get $10 back instead?

[Nageth]

I actually managed to keep myself ignorant of pretty much all the leaks until they accidentally started selling the DLC early. Glad I got the CE but it does feel really weird that for the first time a CE seems to be giving fans something they actually would want instead of just giving a pet or a hat (not that I'm against those sort of thing, just that it is kind of up there with finding loose change).

[eye basher]

I would've like zaeed back insted of some gimmick character like the dorkean and pre-ordered the CE.

[AcidRelic]

I would be fine with it so don't act like you know what everyone would do LOL. Hell I would buy a Zaeed 2.0 too.

Say, BioWare also announced yesterday that there is another DLC bonus character, a Prothean, that ISN'T in the Collectors Edition, and everyone should pay ten bucks extra to get him, whether you have CE or not. I mean, they didn't promise it would be a Prothean in the CE, right?

So, would you be alright with that? Yeah, I didn't think so.

I was all right with Kasumi. Why wouldn't I be all right with this?

I just want to know why they think it's worth 800 microsoft points...

Ever since Bioware confirmed that the DLC squaddie is a Prothean, BSN is in an uprorar. Some are shouting "bloody murder", while others (many of those being Collector Edition buyers) are just saying "who cares. BioWare has the right to charge what they want for optional content. Want it? Buy it!"

Well, here's the thing. What if the bonus DLC squaddie was revealed yesterday to be some Zaeed-like guy? Cool and all, but not really all that important. True optional content, you know. Your $80 CE would still be a great deal, right? DLC character, bonus missions, robo-dog, and all the other nifty stuff.

It's clear you don't know me. I say this all the time...

It's a video game, a source of entertainment. I'll shell out cash if I want to, if not I'll go without. This **** isn't that all important when we break it down. 

If had decided to get the standard Mass Effect 3 game and this news came out about day one DLC. I'd likely buy it and unlike most I wouldn't be ****ing over it either. 

[Darth Death]

I'll never understand or support day 1 DLC. Never. This whole issue is a disgrace.

[bluewolv1970]

I did not know who the DLC character was nor did I care only that there was an extra playable character and mission...

Well, I just intended to show the unfair position some CE buyers are taking here. It's OK by them, because they have the CE. I would think they also wouldn't like cashing out 80 bucks and then getting asked to dole out another 10, because, hey, noone said it would be Prothean, right?

Except I wouldn't give two ****s if I had to shell out another $10.  I already spent $80, what's $10 more?  I'd be perfectly fine if the CE DLC character wasn't the prothean and I still had to pay for him.  But I don't have to, so this thread is pointless.

Well, my friend, if you're OK with paying 90$ for a game, what can I say? More power to you, I guess.

You do realize the CE for TOR was $150 right?  And it sold out in no time?  it had many in game items that were CE only (vendors for one).  The fact is that some people will always be willing to pay more. 

The fact is if you did not want the day 1 dlc and did not feel that paying $20+ more for the game to get it, you will be able to pay half of that cost and still have the DLC.  

Now as someone who has a collectors edition of ME3 preordered, if they were to come out with another day 1 dlc that interested me I would buy that too.

[Soundsystem]

If the situation you're describing happened I would be angry. But not for the reason you think. I would just be pissed that Zaeed was the character because I loathe Zaeed. If I could kill him off sooner than the suicide mission, I would. As is, I stick him in his room and never talk to him (save in my very first playthrough).

Then, I would pay the $10 for the Prothean squaddie. I am already paying the extra money for the CE content, so why wouldn't I spend $10 on such a cool character.

To make the Prothean free would devalue my CE. I would either expect Bioware to then reduce the price of the CE or add additional content. It would be only fair given the number of CE owners who ordered the CE for that extra squad mate.

[UndercoverDoctor]

The prothean squadmate should be available to everyone who purchases the game new, like BioWare has done in the past.

Not like this.

[graciegrace]

The ONLY argument that people should be having is that From Ashes should be the same price as Kasumi, 7 dollars/560 Microsoft Points. Feeling entitled to content that other people were getting as a perk is childish, spoiled and obnoxious.  It'd be incredilby unfair to those who bought the CE for ANY of their content to be distrubted to SE buyers for free, regardless of what aspect of the CE content it is.

and I'm not even buying the CE.

I wouldn't have mind this, but it would seem BioWare is getting bolder now...

[kongenial]

Well, besides that implementing a prothean is rather ridiculous IMO, I think it's not that problemativ that it is exclusive for all the CE owners, but that they actually state it would not have been part of the original release. Really? It was in the leaked script and still announced a few days after the gold master was finished.

I think it's nothing more than cut content for some money grabbing by EA (not Bioware mind you). As this is said I will certainly not buy it immediately and only by change afterwards if the content seems to be interesting at least.

Just my two cents.

Well technically they aren't. Warden's Keep was a CE DLC wasn't it? I mean, yeah, that's not a character but then that's hardly relevant here. That's still content that was kept out of the game for people that bought the regular edition new.
I still think it's dumb though, this just isn't something new from Bioware/EA's though.

Agreed. I said it before, get the CE and this (DLC) is not an issue. There will be more DLC post-release and they will be charging for it.  Are people gonna go crazy about that too?

[LilyasAvalon]

Yeah, I would be alright with it. DLC is an optional expense and $20 for all that extra content in the CE is worth it, regardless if Prothy is worthless or not.

You're dictating to them how to sell their optional content. You don't see how stupid that is? They can choose to give it to you for free or they can choose to sell it and you buy it if you want it.

It also include alternate uniforms for all squadmates which they have sold for about $3 in the past. So if peole were fine with paying for Kasumi, then this should be no problem either

I'm not sure, I know it's included in the ultimate edition along with all the DLC for a great bargain.  

[Shepard needs a Vacation]

I think the real question is why wasn't prothy the Prothean included in the game I mean ME1 was centralized around the legacy of the protheans, because of them the galactic civilization has been around a lot longer it seems relevant that they would be a major piece of the story, so why didn't they make Mr. Prothean have a bigger role in ME3?
