I'd buy it for sure if it helped salvage the endings (yes I know, the EC was supposed to do that), and while I wouldn't pay the price of a full game, I'm willing to shell out some cabbage. I will wait to see what people here say about it though before I decide. If it doesn't fix/add to the endings, then (for me) there is no point to buying it. I'm not paying extra money to play added content that leads me to the same crap (strictly my opinion, I don't hate on the people who are satisfied).

Doesn't change ending - No. Don't care.
Does change ending - Yes. But I won't buy anything else from them ever again.

Ah-ha, already exceptions. You're slipping, The Angry One!


OP, I won't decide either way until I know more about this DLC - how many play hours, what squadmates etc

Whether it changes ending or not, I don't care.

[dbt-kenny]

not a penny untill they fix the game ending for free.

[Memnon]

If it changes the ending, I will buy it; if it has no effect on the ending, I won't pay a dime ...

[D1ck1e]

I'd answer with another question:

Is Jack and/or the ME2 Sqad involved?

[Eire Icon]

Leviathan dlc (impacts ending: successful refuse option) : Pass
Leviathan dlc (normal SP dlc: Foreshadows Catalyst's logic) : Yes I would, definitely. $40-80.

[Shaigunjoe]

Depends on the price. Most story DLC's are absolute rip offs (not just Biowares). I bought all of ME2's on a sale on xbox live.

Deus Ex's missing link though? Wow, thats what I call DLC.

[MB957]

I think I might buy a hammer...and smack myself in the head with it...repeatedly...lol

(here goes...lol) I might consider buying dlc...or any bioware game for that matter....after I have checked it out....see if its something worthy of my time and money.

Yea, thats a great strategy, I haven't pre-ordered anything in a long long time.  ME2 taught me to be weary of anything bioware made.

Depends on the fan feedback.
I won't be buying another Arrival.

Yes, what all DLC may/will come out for ME3 single-player I will buy. Cost may matter, or cost may not.

[Tealjaker94]

I'm willing to to pay the $10-$20 it will actually cost. I'm not paying $80 for a DLC to a $60 game unless it effectively doubles the content.

[garrusfan1]

Yeah I will buy it. However if it adds to the endings I will be happy

[TudorWolf]

Honestly while I'd be interested in finding out more about the reapers and such, if any ME3 DLC was self contained and disconnected from the endings I'd find it a very hard sell. At least with ME1 and ME2, you always had the promise of more to come. That's not there any more and without it DLC considerations are different

[hiraeth]

My understanding is that Leviathan more than likely will not change/alter/affect the ending in any way, just add more "clarity" to the reaper history story line.

So no, I would not pay for it nor have any interest in playing it. It would take way more time and effort than a DLC can deliver to convince me that the reaper/Catalyst history is worth replacing the entire theme of Mass Effect in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Would you pay for Leviathan dlc?

At this point, I'm hard-pressed to see why I would.

- Expand upon the lore? Between two lead writers with radically different ideas the lore has become such a convoluted mess that adding anything on top of it could very well cause the whole structure to topple and collapse under its own weight. This problem was already evident in ME2, and ME3 has done nothing to convince me that things are moving in the right direction.

- Expand upon the ending? Official communiques state that that is not going to happen. I'm not sure if I should lend any further credence to official communiques given their track record, but that's a different discussion altogether. And that doesn't even touch upon the problems with the existing endings (which ties in at least partially with the previous point) as explained in thousands of threads on the BSN.

- Expand upon the gameplay? It's an idea, given that there are only 29 combat missions in ME3 (the remaining missions are fetch quests), but with replayability already in limbo I'm not sure it would be worth the money - money I could also invest in another game. Assuming a piece of DLC will cost ten dollars, that's about one-third the cost of, say, Torchlight II.

Well said!

[Blitzhawk65]

If it changes the ending: Yes, I will buy it at the regular price and maybe some of my faith in Bioware will be restored
If it doesn't change the ending (as in just more explanations or dialogue from starjar): No,  I do not like the direction the ME IP has taken and I am not willing to put any more money into it.

FWIW I bought every SP DLC from ME1-ME3 and LotSB was the only one that was worth it on its own (even though it became canon and playing it had little effect on ME3).  The rest I could still justify buying because I figured that they would have more of an effect on subsequent games.  Instead I got war assets and little mention so in retrospect the other DLC was not worth it.

Yes, we never really interacted with the Reapers in the game proper, which was one of its biggest flaws and letdowns

the game is emtpy, so paying to fill it with DLC makes sense?

meh. the games so linear im not sure one random DLC plot will make me want to spend money on it. even more so becasue it holds no consequences.

[The RPGenius]

Does it add a happy, victorious Refusal ending?

Yes? Then up to $30.

No? Then I will pay nothing.

[naes1984]

Nope. I don't want mid-story DLC to pad the running time like Dragon Age 2 when the real problem is with the overall narrative. The logic is to add as much content before the final mission to make people forget how bad it ends up being. The solution to a novel with a bad narrative is not to add some pointless side story chapter somewhere in the middle.

[Sir Fluffykins]

Well, I won't be paying straight away, I'm literally waiting until everything is done before replaying with DLC I'd then buy.

Originally this was to see how the game(s) changes, now...I'll just have wait before I can replay at all.

[Joryn01]

I'll buy it. I'll buy any DLC for ME3 that comes out that they charge for.

[Fnork]

Not happening.The magic is gone for me, I'm not paying one penny for any dlc.

[AlexMBrennan]

Thing is, I can imagine a reasonable ending to the series *for free* - hell, cutting Godchild would fix most of the problems I have with the ending, and there's such an alternate ending video on youtube.

Thing is, I do not feel like rewarding Bioware for screwing up the ending (which was originally badly done and not even complete - you couldn't tell which side had won without Casey's twitter statements) and then insulting us with EC (instead of apologizing for a rushed incomplete ending, they made as the EC as a "gesture of goodwill" for those fans that wanted "more closure and clarity" )

As for L of D: If it changes the ending, I won't buy it as per the above argument.
Otherwise: Maybe but unlikely, if it's good* and we get an *apology* from Bioware.  $5

* Problem is, given that I don't much feel like playing ME3 right now it would have to be really, really, really good for me to get over that bias.

I'll probably buy it. Now the price depends on the size... from 10 bucks if it's just a normal DLC to 40 or 50 if it's a 15 hours expansion.

This precisely.
