I think it's a fair question to ask. We've got this Leviathan DLC coming out soon and the heavily hinted Omega DLC in the future... but is it really going to be worth buying? Is it really going to change anything?

See, unless Bioware decides to completely change the mechanics of this game, the only result of these DLC packs will be more War Assets and EMS points. Is that REALLY something you want to spend money on? We don't even see a single WA in the endgame, the rachni are completely forgotten about, and no matter what you're stuck with these 3 endings which really can't be affected at all by whether or not you reclaimed Omega. Who really cares about what happens to Omega? Unless it actually turns out to be some kind of mass accelerator weapon created by some ancient race that can kill Reapers conventionally without the need for the Crucible, then what's the point in dishing out 500-800 MSP on it if it won't change the game?

Arrival ended up being a waste of money because nothing came of it. Overlord ended up being a waste of money because even if you let Gavin keep his brother, nothing comes of it. Zaeed and Kasumi were a waste of money, in ME3 they've got 5 minute Point A-B quests which just gives you about 10 EMS and a 10 second conversation on Earth.

Suffice to say, I have absolutely no motivation and no intent on purchasing any further DLC for this game. Javik's was good because it actually carries a lot of lore-based information that isn't present in the game without him on the Normandy, on missions and on Thessia. But the rest just can't carry any weight towards actually meaning something in the long run. So maybe we'll learn something new about the Reapers, great, we still know that they're nothing but puppets of the Starbrat so nothing about them will drastically change. So what if Aria gets back Omega? It's not like it's going to go back to being the criminal hive it was before because of the war going on with the Reapers across the galaxy - we may as well not reclaim it at all, unless it turns out to be something important that will affect the endgame.

Anyways, what are your musings?

You don't have to.

One word: YouTube...

Yeah this whole DLC thing... meh...

If I have the money, and its worth buying. You know, the legitimate reason to buy any DLC.

[Eain]

My main objections to ME3 are the autodialogue, the Crucible plot, the Catalyst, Kai Leng and the incurable stupidity of everyone who inhabits the universe.

I'd be willing to pay a small amount for any of these problems to be resolved.

You fill in the rest.

Quite. I'll just be looking for DSP's walkthrough of the game, that should at least guarantee a giggle or two.

[SpamBot2000]

The huge problem with ME3 was "the origin of the Reapers" and the resulting ghost boy. So I'm thinking no.

Unless of course it's a total retcon.

[mass perfection]

No.

[Conniving_Eagle]

Arrival didn't mean anything. It just gave the Alliance and the Council another 6 months to sit on their asses. Overlord was pretty good though, even if we didn't get anything out of it.

[DistantUtopia]

Omega, I never really felt the need to help Aria with it. She's a necessary evil IMO.

Leviathan, given I don't know what it's going to be about, I'll probably wait for some reviews and maybe youtube before I take any plunge on DLCs.

[Conniving_Eagle]

Who is DSP?

[DistantUtopia]

Ugh...double post.

Darksydephil, he does walkthroughs for a lot of games on Youtubby.

Only if it is free.

^This. I would probably be eager to spend some money on a complete reboot of the whole ME3 (and also of ME2 since its plot doesn't make sense anymore).

That would be stupid, just redo Mass effect 3.

[Chaotic-Fusion]

Probably not. Unless it adds to the endings or is generally well received (on these forums, not by video game "journalists").

[SackofCat]

I think for some, a problem with single player DLC for ME3 is that they didn't like ME3 and the DLC would not improve the rest of the game or encourage new playthroughs. For these people, any DLC would be self contained and not worth paying 1/6 (or 1/3) of the cost of the full game for about 1/15 of the content.

[D24O]

After I read a little about it I'll make a judgement.

[Persephone]

Yes, I will.

And while it may not be the hip thing to do so, I will buy any story related ME DLC.

Now Item packs....nooooooooooooo!

[Brother Takka]

I probably will if I have the money. I don't have the problem with ME3 that everyone else in this thread seems to have.

[Vox Draco]

I would conisider it if:

Leviathan becomes and Ally

We have new options at the Star Kid to tell him the truth we learned from Leviathan

We can now shoot/refuse the kiddies silliness

We see a wonderful cutscene of Leviathan joining the fray and kicking serious reaper-Butts

All the while Shepard gets confronted with a freaked-out Starbinger eager to kill Shepard

Who of course now wakes up in fron of the real console, where that elevator of light thingy happened

A massive battle ensues between Shepard and Harbinger....

No pile of rubble!

Not gonna happen? Sad, probably not buying then

[Kenza]

Meh, probly not. I'll play if it's free. I might buy it if it gets very -very- good fan reviews. I will buy it if it affects the ending(not just EMS...) positively.

[Changonauta]

totally yes

Nothing is well received on these forums.

Ever.

Until nostalgia settles in 5 years later and the catchy "Remember when Bioware used to make good games like XYZ?" phrase is used. I've seen it with current BSN faves like DAO. And ME1. The BG crowd hated on DAO and the KOTOR crowd hated on ME1.
