Here is a video containing the last 20 minutes of the Leviathan DLC: www.youtube.com/watch

If you'd rather not watch it at the moment I'll tell you what happens.

After some exploration, Shepard meets the Leviathan. Leviathan reveals to Shepard that long before the Reapers were made, its race was the apex of life in the galaxy. Its race subjegated the lesser ones to suit their needs. Leviathan's race cared for the lesser species, but could not protect them from themselves. They eventually built machines that ended up destroying them, eliminating their usefulness to Leviathan's kind. To fix this, Leviathan's race created an intelligence to preserve life at any cost. This intelligence studied and learned about civilizations until it could form a solution. In that instance, it betrayed Leviathan's kind. They were harvested to create the first Reaper - Harbinger. Despite what has transpired, Leviathan still believes that [the Catalyst] is useful, as it still serves its purpose. However, not all of Leviathan's kind were harvested. Some were able to hide from the Reapers, seeking solace in the far reaches of the galaxy. Leviathan itself is only a descendant of those. In seclusion, the remnants of Leviathan's race used special artifacts to explore and observe the pending cycles.

Leviathan doesn't know anything about the Crucible. It refuses to help directly fight the Reapers, knowing that its kind will still survive through the cycles. Instead, it will use its artifacts to indoctrinate Reaper forces and turn them against eachother to cause chaos on the battlefield.

You get a whopping 400 EMS (and another 20 if the Doctor is still alive). I also believe you get one or two new weapons, some extra mods, a new ship decoration and a bonus power. Unfortunately, you won't see Leviathan in the final battle, there will just be a few extra lines of dialogue with the Catalyst.

Worth buying? Up to you to decide.

The new bonus power is dominate, if anyone is wondering. They brought it back.

Just finished watching that one. Not sure why i would buy it when ive already spent $110 buying the collectors on day one.

As for the revelation, i wasnt taken in by it. Seemed like a band-aid solution to address the lack of Harbinger and that starchild's infamous line: 'You wouldnt know them, and there is no time to explain'.

bioware for god sake just come clean and announce the dlc pack names instead of denying it -_-

Extended cut was huge for what it was as well ;) Can't wait to datamine this and have a look at what's next.

I was delusional. I thought that Bioware were great story-tellers. Turns out theyre great at making shooters.

At least the Dark Knight Rises did justice to a popular trilogy.

So in other words, the Reapers are killing everyone as a result of a billiion-year old, selfish science experiment gone awry. And I thought the Reapers could think for themselves?

Well extended cut dlc did completely overwrite the end missions. So that explains the 2 gig size. Not sure about this though.

Seems they really want to drive the "robots will always kill you" point home. Though that still doesn't make that point much less infallible, or the outcome inevitable.

Yeah I don't think its worth it. Maybe I'll get it eventually but for now I don't think it's worth it.

Sorry you feel that way (I sure don't), and genuinely sorry you live somewhere in which the CE was a whopping $110.

I think any DLC will lose its spark when it's forced to conform to this game and the endings.

having watched this I may pick it up when it comes out over here.

But more than ever I distrust the Starkid at the end of the game

The Reapers aren't sapient . They are all under the Catalyst's control . They are only mistaken to be as such due to their stored organic reserves of previous races that were assimilated into Reaper capital ships .

Well 400 EMS... that matters if you want to take a breath in a pile of garbage when the multi-player dies out. As for now, I'll wait for the "Getting out of the pile of garbage" DLC.

We also need to mark on our star charts the location of these dumbasses who subjegate the galaxy because they might want to try it again. But wait, those are on only EDI, and EDI got nuked. Dammit! Mac is railroading us toward synthesis isn't he?

Thanks for the info, Eagle.

Ill more than likely buy it anyway. I am a huge mass effect and dragon age fan. I'll judge for myself and not what others say :)

I hate spoilers but m so glad I partook this time. Not even buying it with my random 20$ psn gift card that's been burning a hole in my pocket forever.

You get 7mins (out of 3 hrs) of interaction with Levi and that's lackluster at best (a close up of his face has the ability to make a reaper fall into water) wtf. The convo with him is set in a blue blurry background (why not at least have flashback style images floating around them as they speak) and they recycle old character models. Then you get back on the Normandy.

The investigatory part almost piqued my interest. But even that was hackneyed and too straight forward(zomg find stuff in a room). And dr. G blowing himself up, ZOMG not surprised because you might as well have thrown Kai leng in there to muck things up as always.

Blessed is the internetz.

They use to be sapient constructs - fully aware entities. Hell they even had a personality. Then ME3 came about and we got  *_*

The next DLC will discourage Control, and then the third one will praise Synthesis.
