I'm sure most of us have seen this thread, social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/325/index/12583664

And most of us agree that what we need, is the return of ME2 chars in a bigger form, like Miranda, Jack, Gurnt, Kal'Reegar (yeah Kal is epic! :P) and all the others :wub:

In ME1 we were introduced to the ME1 chars.
In ME2 we were introduced to the ME2 chars, with the ME1 chars taking a back seat (Most of them with a good excuse to explain their absence)

In ME3, we should of saw the return of all chars we got to know over the years, since this is the last game (Or so we are told).

Some will say, "Well ME1 chars wern't in ME2 much so it's only fair ME2 chars are minor in ME3"

May aswell reverse that and say ME2 chars wernt't in ME1 :ph34r:

Anyway! Who do you really want back or with a bigger role, and why? :P

Emily Wong as an option for the ship reporter.

Edit: Because I don't like Allers... <_<

Everyone, although I don’t think a big ME2 DLC is really going to be the ticket…I’m betting on DLC focusing on 2-3 characters. Edit: several DLCs, each for 2-3, that is.

Miri/Jack Cerberus arc? Jack/Garrus(/Aria(/Zaeed)) Omega arc — only makes sense post-ending though? More Grunt/rachni stuff? What else?

Support! Equal treatment! Hurray!

Thane should have a DLC for a cure. Could also introduce us with the hanar and drells.
Jacob's role should at least be expanded a bit.
Miranda and Jack should get a Cerberus arc.
Aria should take back Omega.
Samara needs to have something with the Asari. Morinth needs to have this role if you saved her. Say no to banshee treatment!

All the LI should have a... romance DLC or something. They deserve it.

@ HagarIshay - I completely agree! :)

As for Thane's cure DLC you can add Kasumi for it, as I know people would like to see more of her and she already got the mission hanar related. Two problems solved in one DLC, BioWare can't miss that chance! :) Such DLC would take place at the beginning of the game (you can do it later, but then Thane wouldn't be saved). And he could join Shepard on Normandy near the end of the game. Bonus: more drell war assets.

Oooh, good idea. Didn't even think about Kasumi. And her mission can also have a large impact on the DLC if you did it. Like... Hanar liking you.

Though doing Thane's mission after he gets stabbed will probably mean you won't use him. He'll direct you where to go, but won't actually be a squadmate. And BioWare should also add Kolyat to the DLC, obviously.

I am leaving that other Thread I am done with the head ache in there I can't figure how anybody can seriously want new Characters made in the Final Chapter of the Shepard Trilogy instead of bringing back established Charcters that have tie's to Shepard.

I believe Bioware needs to bring back The Entire Mass Effect 2 Squad and focus on fixing the damage done to their Characters and Romance Arcs.

I want Grunt back as a squadmate before anyone. I NEED A KROGAN IN MY SQUAD! Then Jack or Miranda after that. Doesn't matter which

I would say I want Legion back too but Bioware seems intent on killing him.....

Oh and I think a proper cameo for Kal Reeger should be done. Killing him off in an email is not cool

I would love some more ME2 character focused DLC, actually.. that's the only DLC I would pay for.

I would like a DLC with only ME2 characters, because allmost allof them were screwed one way or the other in ME3.

I want some Cerberus DLC focusing in Miranda. She was TIM top operative for years, but in ME3 she is just worried about Oriana.

And I want missions with Miranda and JAck as squadmates. Their banter would be epic, especially if both are fighting against Cerberus troops

We don't need new chars, what we need is the best team of the galaxy we had in ME2 back.

Give me a longer arch with Thane (Not TWO freaking conversations, one of which is on his deathbed), and it'd be awesome if a cure was included.

Do something about Jacob. It depresses me that Mr. Reliable was the cheater. Though his actual mission is pretty cool.

Needs more Samara.

More Jack....More Jack GOD DAMN IT!!!!!

Okay ill be serious. Jack was redesigned and should be given a bigger role in the game..also her romance needs to be expanded on because as it stands its an incomplete romance arc. I'm not asking for a sex scene because that isn't necessary...however a god damn holo call before mission earth with an actually convo wheel is in order. I also think a mission with Jack would be fantastic. Hell something having to do with her kids...One of them could have gotton grabbed by Cerberus so she takes leave to team up with Shep...or the reapers jumped some kids from the school.. whatever.

As for the rest of the ME2 characers, I do think they need some missions and more dialuge in this game. What happened with Zaeed was just silly. He deserves a mission where he pulls some baddass stunt...like on the turain colony we were suppose to save.

hmm...The only DLC I would buy for ME3 is "Cure Thane Krios" one..with Hannars and Kahje. I would be also happy if in game I could co-operate with my ME2 companions longer..
Could be nice also to have
-" Inside Cerberus" DLC with Jacob and Miranda ( with fixed romance with Jacob for those fangirls who romanced him),
-" Biotic Commando" DLC where I can help to find Kaidan's students ( and add them as a war asset), with Jack's help
-" Justicar" with my best asari friend Samara
-" Greybox" with Kasumi...I want to know this big and dangerous secret :)
-" Escape from Palaven"- to help Garrus to save his familly ( plus others civilians)
-something big with Zaeed...
Unfortunetly I think that BioWare done with ME2 companions....

The secret about the greybox with Kasumi was the alliance authorized a black ops mission into batarian space. Truth be told I didn't see how this was that big of a deal..but there it is.

Really? Where You saw that? Anyway thank You for information Image IPB. To be honest I thought it's something about Alliance relations with Cerberus ( i.e they gave those soldiers from Akuze to Cerberus to study a possibillity of use Thresher Maw's venom as a bio weapon or something)

She mentions that it During her mission on the Citidal in passing..she says this is what was in the Greybox. 
Your idea would have been pretty epic though...the ogranization that the Alliance has turned its back on has actually been working with them from the begining.

Given that ME3 is Shepard's last stand it would be really great if all the members received a "Mission DLC" that would not only give us a mission but would also let us say bye bye to the character, whether you romanced or felt that they were a true friend. Think LotSB or Loyalty Missions DLC's.

Putting characters together like Jack & Miranda really wouldn't be great because many fans of one don't care for the other and it would be much better if the DLC focused on just one specific character. This would also mean that if you don't like (put character name here) then you don't purchase that DLC.

Just my suggestion.
 
And I'm sure that Mark Meer & Jennifer Hale would have no problem doing DLC's for the next couple of years? Image IPB

EDIT: And this idea applies to all former team members (ME1-3) and could even include other characters like Aria, Shiala, etc.     So make that 3 years? Image IPB

PMC65..I would buy any ME 3 DLCs for as many years as they would want to make them, even I could keep my ME saves forever..if only BioWare would change ending and give me happy one with my assassin...

The same for me. After fixing Thane and the possibility to get hapyy ending with him, I could accept ME3 as canon and therefore buy more DLCs.
But I also believe every other ME2 character should get better treatment, only then ME3 would be really great. Now it's just... let's say dissapointing.

Personally I don't think just ME2 characters were short changed in this final go round.

This is all of our Shepards stories and the ME team could keep revenue coming in by making these types of DLC for all the characters and then some (Hi Kelly!). Part of the issue would be how to determine which DLC/Character would be released first and so on.

Would demand be the driver? Character popularity?
Lack of screen time be the driver? Morinth anyone? 

Truth is that there are characters that I would gladly pay for * and others ... well, probably not. Having a DLC for all the ME2 characters would not make the story PERFECT ... I do like characters originally from ME1 and even ME3. If we all sat down and wrote lists of the top 10 characters we would pay for it would probably be a mix of all three games and not all would be past teammates.

Here would be my list today (it will probably be different in a month):

1) Ashley (without a Kaidan mish mash ... he should have his own)
2) Wrex
3) Shiala
4) Miranda
5) Jack
6) Liara
7) Vega
8) Kaidan (same here ... no Ashley mish mash ... let these characters stand on their own again)
9) Mordin
10) Tali

* As someone who has not been able to replay ME3 we will ignore the ending and just assume the EC performs a miracle and has me return for another play.

Just my .02 on character DLC; (BTW, Im in the "cure/extend Thane's life" camp, so you all can guess where my feelings lie.......) if the DLC(s) in question are more "story" related, instead of character specific, then you can ADD a fair amount of quality character content as an extra. This would then mean it is accessible (and desireable) for ALL kinds of players, and makes the replay of said DLC, go up. As for the type of extra character content, it could be in the form of "well, this character had a relation to this story line, or new group of NPC, so they could have more content to reflect that connection. Then, you can add some nice romance fluff (characters referring to your LI of choice, more personal romance dialogue with your LI, showing of affection, ect......ya gets the idea!) that is excessible to all LI's that are available in said DLC (for example, if you do have a story line that is more ME2 squaddie heavy, then perhaps the focus on the ME2 LI's would make sense...then if you have another story DLC that focus' on the current crew, those might have extra LI content).

By not making it character specific, you don't run the risk of some character DLC not selling well (which is unfortunately a bad business setup, and thus could be problematic to implement.) I am aware that Liara had a DLC specific to her in ME2 that worked, but because of all the variables they have to work with, the "character specific" DLC could be tricky to do.

This isn't to say that the specific character content that I mention above will be just a few tagged on lines or something; I do mean real quality content. The outline for something like this already has been implemented before with DLC. Take for example Legacy and MotA in DA2. Both DLC's have some character specific moments (ex: in Legacy, both Varric and Anders have extra content, but you are not required to bring both of them.....still, this extra content exists. In MotA, Aveline and Isabella have extra content......). In both DLC's ALL the characters have new banter lines, and moments of interjection. And characters you can romance do have romance banter that comes up (i.e. Fenris saying how you frightened him in MotA when taken by the Duke, or in Legacy he will talk about the"night" your Hawke and him spent together) Now, this could be even deeper/richer that that, but it gives you an example of how it could be done. The question now is; will it?!?

**And just an aside; I really want them to offer us a choice to cure/extend Thane's life. This could be implemented in a few ways (I have posted a few ways they could do this that would NOT interfere with the base game), then fleshed out as extra character content for him in one of these story DLC's. This way those that wish to save/extend his life can, and those who don't, well...............ya wuteva.

The only reason why I would play to ME3 again is an additional content for the ME2 characters.

What would be awesome, if all ME2 char dlc had something extra for people who romanced then, making their play through abit more unique.

Like in a Miranda DLC, you may see her earlier and be able to recruit her. But if she was your LI in ME2, then shes on the Normandy at the start of the game, in Alliance uniform using a false name. Had plans to infiltrate and bust your Shepard out before the Reapers hit.

I'll be happy with more Miranda, romanced or not! She has so much story potential left unexplored! My Shepard never did get his date with Miranda? And he has to bloody #findMiranda too! Don't make him not keep his promise BIOWARE!
