Because don't you think the story of Reaper origin should've been REALLY IMPORTANT and been in the main game? Like Javik should've been?
I certainly think so. I'm sure it will be fun, and I'm most likely going to buy it. I'll wait for reviews first, of course, but to me it looks like a solid DLC at the moment, and something that really should have been in the game in the first place. Furthermore, if Leviathan is really a "rogue" Reaper, I'm pretty sure no one will ever pick Control again if we know the Catalyst's control is not absolute, so it could influence the endings more than we think.
Dunno if I want to get my hopes up too high though.
Yes mate, DLCs should be only about UNIMPORTANT, BORING stuff. That way it would be fair to buyers!
Seriously it is not: MAIN GAME - important, DLC - unimportant. It is MAIN GAME - essential, DLC - optional. That's it. This game is about defeating the Reapers, not learning about them. Defeating = essential; learning = optional.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm simply pointing out that considering the relevance of the Reapers to the plot, I find it underhanded they're nickle-and-diming us for information that should've been in the story since the beginning if you ask me. Considering Shepard always DID ask why the Reapers did what they did, that he always tried to understand, I think that learning about the Reapers-- finding out exactly why we need to stop them, seeing if their origins can give us any insight on to how to beat them (rather than relying on a deus ex machina device that had no foreshadowing whatsoever) is a very important piece of the story. People were furious that Javik was being sold as extra considering how important to the story he is/was/ended up being. I'm not furious about Leviathan, but it certainly seems to me that if we had Karpyshyn on the team, rather than Drew, this sort of info would've been put into the main game, rather than cut to be sold apart. It's just how I see it.
Your mocking tone is pretty hilarious though, because regarding another expected DLC, I don't give two rat's behinds about Omega or Aria, but people really want to see DLC for that. It's not that it's boring stuff-- I just never found her or her station to be compelling. Other people love her and Omega and would really love to see that DLC. It's still interesting, and I'd probably still buy it and play through it; I'm a completionist when it comes to the ME games.
