Color me intrigued.

Though 14.99 is a bit... hmm. I'll reserve judgment until more information is released.

my prediction is that Omega will be used similarly to B4 in B5. as a base of operations. I mean they ripped so many other things off, why not one more?

Sweet, it comes out just in that sweet spot where I'll have time to play. Loved Leviathan, can't wait to play this and jump back into ME3.

Only two real things I'm looking for in this DLC:

1. The regular members of your squad will be playable for the Omega missions and you're not just stuck with Aria & female turian as squadmates for the duration of the DLC (and if the regular squad is available, that they have substantial dialogue throughout like they did in Leviathan). :?


2. That they somehow work in Arc Grenade as a Bonus Power for Shepard in SP.
(seriously, my Soldier Shep has been dying to get a hold of this power ever since I played the male quarian in MP :P )

Been anticipating this for a while now, I can't wait. Hope it will be worth the wait (and, well, the price). Will pick the game back up to play this and Leviathan both!

You could at least spring for a trailer BioWare.

We don't really know all the details to this DLC yet.

So no choice but to become Aria's lapdog then. Perhaps i need to rename my Shep fido if he's to become Aria's pet pooch.


I wouldn't mind being Aria's pet pooch, tbh.


I suppose that could be another ending option. Instead of taking on the reapers, Shep takes up residence in a basket and dons a fluffy collar and goes for walkies with Aria.

Well aware of that.... hence my above wishlist of things I'm looking for in the DLC.

Just had intuition that Aria dies in this DLC.

Well, they did it with the Shadow Broker's base, didn't they?

I would be sincerely disappointed if there was no way to return to Omega following its liberation. It would be super lame.

Nice! Will be a day one buy. These 1 and a half months are going to go painstakingly slow.

There's a female Turian?

According to some French sites, this is not a DLC for ME3, but a standalone extension in which you control Aria and a Turian squadmate hell-bent on recapturing Omega. So no roleplay, no leveling, no custom character, no NPCs to interact with. It's essentially a biotic shooter.

Seriously needs confirmation because I don't see the point of this.

I very much doubt that you could not select at least one crewmember to have with Shepard during this DLC.  I believe they used the word glimpsed in reference to a turian female, that implies to me that the turian is not a squadmate.

With that said I hope we can select two squadmembers to take, there are enough missions in the game that mandate one particular squadmember as is.  Not a fan of Aria either.

The archgrenades are the best type in the game, I hope these are incorporated into single player at some point to.  In fact all of the multiplayer powers would be a great addition to single player.

$15 Bioware really? I'm not saying you can't deliver but you better be pulling out all the stops for this. Your tiptoeing closer to expansion price territory and the price better reflect that. While Leviathan shouldn't have been free it wasn't quite worth the asking price like say LotSB.

1° Mike said that you'll play with Aria, not as Aria.
2° "Our informants believe that Aria intends to seek out Commander Shepard for assistance"

So yep, it's a dlc and those sites are talking BS.

Sounds like utter BS. The post on the ME mainpage even says that Shepard and Aria will band together to retake Omega.

I'm somehow reminded of Madonna's Miles Away. Great song.

I agree, though. November 27th is not a release I would have expected. At all.
