Levvy dlc ranks top 2 of all dlc i've ever bought (imo). ( loved the investigative nature, the mystery and the excellent underwater encounter)
Star kid came out of left field, which is part of the reason its so easy to assume he doesn't really exist. Leviathan dlc adds a crucial layer of foreshadowing that makes star kid's existence much more credible. Adding star kid within the narrative, rather than the last five mins hugely improves the encounter.
Rather than going * who the **** are you?* as you meet him in the last 5 mins of the game, you now expect to deal with this AI controlling the reapers before the games end. You see him approach and recall that this is what levvy was talking about
You know, the thing that bothers me this Intelligence thing now is not its existence. What bothers me is that it supposedly lives on the Citadel. I mean, the Reapers hide in dark space, they must have some kind of relay that connects to the Citadel, why doesn't the Intelligence (Still not convinced that the 'Catalyst' is the Intelligence.) hide there? It makes no sense that it would hide on the Citadel. It's kind of a contrived plot element, if you ask me, that it just "happens" to be on the Citadel and it just "happens" to be the key to triggering the Crucible, which was NOT originally built to use the Citadel. It would have made much more sense, for me, anyway, if the Intelligence hid in dark space, in the relay that connects to the Citadel, and then revealed itself through Harbinger, or something like that. And then what the Crucible would do would be to use the Citadel relay to fire some kind of weapon that would destroy the Intelligence and weaken the Reapers letting you obtain victory, if your war assets were powerful enough, which would let you get an awesome cutscene of all your assets fighting together against the Reapers. Wouldn't that seem like a better ending than what we got?
Edit: And the fact that I was able to think up a better ending than what we got is also partially what suggests to me that something else is going on. The fact that I could come up with something better than what BioWare gave us just doesn't seem right.
