That is an excellent question. My only guess would be that the writers get to play a bit with the War Asset descriptions.

I think it's just all the original plan, and they're faithfully executing it. Probably it was always intended that the hokey breath scene would only be available if you played multiplayer or purchased all the DLC (and surprise, there's now enough assets to get to 5,000 EMS, probably), before they got trapped by their lies.

Also, I think Sylvia wrote most of the original war asset library, unless I'm misremembering. So I'm not sure that it's anything of a team effort.

So, Wrex may be a temporary squadmate, but the odds of anyone else being as such are as slim as I'd expected. Also, the chances of that latest Reddit leak about a visually modified Priority: Earth were just significantly diminished given the whole "natural stopping point" portion of one of those answers.

Lastly, ME2-only squadmates probably won't have anything to do with the Citadel DLC's main plot. It's going to be Wrex -- if he's alive and not pissed off, of course -- and the ME3 squad.

Everything I anticipated, and it's going to invariably irk plenty of fellow forumites. Sounds fun enough to me, though. The real grab here is obviously the reconnecting points following the DLC storyline's completion.


agree mostly but Miranda could still be a temporary squaddie look at the screenshot they released shep and the others are wearing armor and have guns so maybe she is with them...

One has to wonder what the point of even more war assets is considering we have enough of them now to get the perfect ending nearly 3 times over?


This was mentioned a few days/pages back.

I still think its asinine and superfluous (additional meaningless war assets), but some tinfoil hat theories may suggest that since before the ending debacle, and subsequent change to EMS requirements, it was much harder to get the "best ending" (the "breath scene" has the highest point value, thus "best"). It's possible that the DLC point values were originally meant to make that ending more accessible only after you had a bunch of DLC, multiplayer to beef the score, or a "perfect" playthrough with imports. The war asset requirements  were changed after the EC dropped so that any being with a brainstem could access the "breath scene" without too much effort or an ME1/ME2 import. The DLC war assets were kept however and simply made redundant, so Bioware couldn't be accused of trying to nickel and dime customers for a "perfect" ending with Shepard alive (anyone remember the "ZOMG Bioware lied about being able to unlock the best ending without an import/DLC.multiplayer!!!1!" threads?).


Possible? Maybe. But whether there's any truth to that or not doesn't matter, because either way no Bioware employee is going to come out and say, "Yeah, we did it. That was the plan."


End tinfoil hat mode.



None of this really matters at all though, because Bioware already has its litmus test of what type of products will be sellable to the masses.

if Wrex is only available he must have some plot involvement. He can't just leave helping the Turians and making sure the other Krogan don't go for revenge just for an IOU for the genophage.... can he? What if you faked the cure? I imagine that would be different if you played this before or after he confronts you. What if there is no Wrex?

Really wanted Jack as a temp.

The likelihood is that only Wrex and Miranda will end up being temporary squad-mates. If the other characters have an involvement in the DLC story, they'll be NPC's.

Before the EC they may have intended you to get the Breathe scene only with DLC. Afterwards, maybe its like a "hey, hate scanning for war assets but don't want to lose the points and get a low EMS ending? Well the DLC will give you plenty!"

Prieslty's updater about needing to have completed their quest in the main game makes me think the only way to see Miranda would be if you waited till after Sanctuary, provided she survives.

She's dead in my game though...

If Miranda is inolved it makes me think Cerberus has some involvement.

It was never possible in any playthrough without multiplayer or the iOS apps. There simply weren't enough assets. (And the designer responsible for the system outright confirmed that it was impossible a week or two after release, period, full stop.)

BioWare kept on obfuscating and obstructing, however, apparently unable to even just check with Bjorn before speaking with authority on subjects that they had no actual knowledge of (and which to this day they have still not acknowledged).

I don't think it requires tinfoil hats for one to come to the impression that it was working exactly as designed, especially since BioWare has not once ever claimed that it wasn't.

Except she's in the main screenshot where everyone else is suited up. It's hard to say. Miranda is on the Citadel for several portions of the game, so it wouldn't be too difficult to sync her up with the DLC.

They've just said on the livestream that Blasto will be on the Citadel DLC.


That sounds like it could've been a joke... :?


Did they also say that they couldn't have Blasto because he was a fictional character? Or did I hear that wrong......

Personally, I'd love to meet the Hanar actor who play's Blasto, while Blasto himself appear's in MP as a weekend challenge.


Maybe the Hanar actor who plays him has gone off the rails and thinks he really is Blasto and as a result gets his ass handed to him.


YAY! ME4's version of Conrad Verner!

Only if Blasto's new movie partner also shows up.

Weapons pack please.


Unless a AP or Weapon pack is released within the next two weeks, The packs are done. Jessica confirmed after Citadel thats it for them including smaller DLCs like Weapon & AP.

True, now that I remember it, but I also used the iOS app to beef up my score the first time so I wasn't directly caught in the mayhem. As for "tinfoil hat", I'm just marking it as such since I really don't have 100% proof, I can only surmise based on the series of events.

I know MP will still be online for a long time, but I guess that when the servers are down, they'll enable us somehow to play it with bots. Really hope it happens, can't wait for that ****. That way I can truly get to play with all the characters, I don't have the time now to play and get them through the packs :/

And is that EDI? Couldn't they have gotten another skin?

About the whole ''fictional character''-thing. 

They said it (this is obviously how I think) with a great deal of sarcasm/satire. They went on to say ''you can't prove these things can never happen!!'' I think it was just some friendly talk about how everything in the Mass Effect Universe is in fact fictional, and saying that Blasto can't be in the DLC because he's fictional, makes for quite the conundrum.
