Wouldn't removing the Cerberus presence - who are using Omega as a base of operations as they recover crap from beyond the Omega IV relay also be of some consideration to those not in favor of supporting a bunch of mercenaries and criminals?

Whatever they're doing clearly has no effect on anything, so why bother?

Just send a nuke through the relay and let Aria deal with her own problems.

I don't want to play a game whose only purpose is to set up a future comic series.

In that case, nothing short of another ending DLC would be appealing. :unsure:

Not necessarily.

Pretty much every other destination in the galaxy has the benefit of not being Omega, and it's unlikely you'd have to scrape and bow to Aria along the way.

They could make Omega appealing if Aria gets critically injured and stays behind to set off the bomb that blows up Cerberus. I could probably muster some enthusiasm for that story. :P

This is why I want the DLC, it fills a plot hole--since wouldn't Shep want to stop Cerberus from getting more Reaper tech?

A possible new Hub? Nice!

Excellent news. Once again something those with eyes knew was coming is looking more official. But as has already been stated, don't get too attached to the word "hub" there; it could technically mean something else.

We might wind up with an Omega with multiple clickable locations a la Tuchanka and Rannoch, but with only a very small-scale hub-like area, if that.

core game : $90
Lev: $10
Omg: $10

I'm just glad they are smart enough to not have charged us for the Extended Cut. I bet both Leviathan and Omega was planned for the core game but got cut. They need more time and resources to do these things, yes, but that just shows how EA need better leadership and investment strategy.

Core game wasn't $90 over here, at least.

You have a point there. There should be an option to get rid of Aria or if you want her "to reign in" the other gangs to have her at least "respect" you a bit more, if you know what I mean. She should be aware that she´s there only because of Shepard...I could live with that :)

That would be...highly disappointing :(

I have a question since I know nothing about coding... so...

Is it standard for developers to include so much information in code? I never hear about game details and entire scripts being leaked from other companies. Granted I don't really follow others as in depth as Bioware/Mass Effect but still... come on, future DLC info from a gun pack?! really.. It seems like literally every aspect of ME3 has been leaked prior to actual announcements/releases.

It would be worse than the alternative for sure, BlueDemonX, but I could live with it. Then again, I like ME3 a lot more than BSN's current majority, lol. But yeah, I hope for the best of course. :D

As for your question, breyant? Not really sure. Would be interested in learning more about that, m'self.

I think they may be leaking this to drum up interest, but I really don't know.

That would explain this, potentially, but I doubt that many who claimed as such for the script would hold true to that claim now. Many of the core complaints about the leaked script were not addressed, and several things the spoiled parties read and found fascinating were cut for time. :P

This would be VERY cool if it turned out to be the case.

ME3 is in desperate need for more hub worlds. The Citadel is nice and all, but it has a tendency to get boring rather quick. As a matter of fact, one of the main aspects in ME2 that positively caught my attention is the variety of hub worlds available. They somehow made the game a lot more attractive.

The Citadel was at its worst in ME2, but it was flanked by Omega and Ilium, which made up for it. ME3's Citadel is big enough to practically cover all three for me, but it being just the Citadel, more diversity would be very welcome. Still, the designers did a good job.

In Sweden it was 100$ for the SE and 150$ for the CE.

I would like Omega as a hub as well, lets hope it is in that DLC. The Citadel in ME3 is fine but it is still nowhere near as great as ME1's citadel IMO, it's still too small IMO.

My condolences of course, Arcian. Ick.

I prefer ME3's Citadel, but I wish it weren't as segmented.

To answer both your questions (I know coding :wizard:), I wouldn't really call it costumary but companies sometimes do this in order to shorten the size of singular files, though this is more common in patches.

Look at it this way, you want to transfer two folders over to a USB drive but don't have enough space to move them both right now, so you include some of the files from one folder in the other so you can carry those now and move the rest when you have more space.

It makes sense if you take into account the 2 gig limit of Xbox Live. This way they don't need to increase the size of the files of one specific DLC. They send these along with a smaller piece of content and when the DLC is released is released they have thier lives made easier. Or it could just be a way to drum up interest and attention, I really can't say for sure.

Glad I could finally be informative to somebody ^_^

I'll end the wall of text now :P

So what happens when I don't buy gun pack, but buy later DLC? I'll be missing some files? It doest't make any sense.

Precisely why I said it could also be used to drum up awareness to the DLC.
