I personally would LOVE to see a good scifi game that both does the sci-part and alos explores the psyche of the protagonists.


Perhaps that'll come with Cyberpunk 2077.


It has already been done. Deus Ex:Human Revolution

One of the reasons I made this thread is because of my belief that anything that any DLC that takes place before Earth, won't be epic because the story can't have a dramatic effect on the game once the dlc is completed.  If they introduce new characters, then kill them, is anyone really gonna feel an emotional impact?  I highly doubt that anything as Earth Shattering as killing a squadmate in a DLC (the only way I personally would feel an emotional impact) is gonna happen. 

For something to be Epic, its gotta break new ground.  Unfortunately, I don't think its possible for DLC confined to a static point in the storyline to do that.

The first leak just hit the net a few hours ago, so I can now tell that Bioware will combine the two most suggested DLC into one huge DLC. Hang on to your buttcheeks boyz'n'girlz ...

Dinosaur DLC and new visit to Omega again! WOoooOW!

Seriously though ... No idea but it must be big. I will not have high hopes for it though, I already burned my fingers with Omega.

Chris pristley on when the dlc will be out.

Chris Priestly wrote...

When it is ready.

There are a number of things we consider before we talk about upcoming DLC. The most important factor is how close is it to being done. We do not want to start talking about it and then have to delay it for any reason. This would not be good for the game or for the fans. We want to make sure that when we start talking about it, we can (within the bounds of not spoiling it) really talk about it. That is why BioWare usually does not discuss a product until the game team, the marketing team and the PR team all line up and agree that now is the time to talk about it.

And, no, following staffers on Twitter who drop hints about what they are workign on is not "BioWare talking about the game". You're welcome to follow whomever you want on Twitter, but until it comes through our website or official Twitter/Facebook channels, we're not really talking about it.

So, when will that be? No idea. Again, we won't say "We'll talk about it tomorrow, next week, next month, etc" until we know for usre that we can actually meet that goal. When we can talk about it, we will talk about it.

The 'epic' new DLC will be all about nothing. Simple as that.

Not to me they aren't since I didn't think the witcher was better than mass effect.

This new game of theirs, this pen and paper game adaptation called cyberpunk. That is their chance to win me over. And until they do so, they are simply another company for me to aknowledge but feel nothing for.

And what makes you think so?

And why do you feel that way?

So? I don't see how that comes within trolling. An argument about different games boils down to personal opinion to a great extent, sure, but discussing about games and respective opinions doesn't come within trolling for me, even if it derails the thread. Maybe I just have another definition of it, but...


You must be new to the Internet then, as all he was trying to do was deliberately rile you up in an argument that had no conclusion to derail the thread. There was nothing to be gained from it, just frustration and thread derailing, and he knew full well what he was doing. Trolling in other words.

Geralt I felt was a less interesting character than shepard, even with shepard being a blank slate and later a military man in ME3, And geralt with his intriuging amnisia plot, I found shepard more interesting and fun to play than geralt and his gravelly christan bale batman type voice. Theres just something aboust geralt that didn't click with me as well. That and I felt a lot of the gameplay aspects of the game witcher 2 to be a tad annoying to try and play. Just to clarify I play on xbox sobwitcher 2 is the only witcher game I played. Along with that was a game bug that made me have to return it for a refund, but since Ive bought a new copy recentlt and playing it again, Im still not feeling that invested in the story, it hasn't really sucked me in at all yet.

The reason I maintain aknowleding them but don't like or dislike is so I can give their product a dair look without falling for hype or what their fans claim about them. I want to judge for.myself whether they are good or.not, and not have that interfered with by other people.

And how exactly is Shepard interesting in any positive way or form?

The story in The Witcher 2 is one of the best stories in video-games I've ever seen, but I think you need to know at least a thing or two about the world of The Witcher (from either the previous game or the books) to fully appreciate and understand it.

If go in and start with The Witcher 2 completely unprepared, the whole experience might be a bit overwhelming and perhaps even confusing. It might be harder to connect with the story and the setting.

Is this what you experienced?

Fair enough. That sounds reasonable.

GimmeDaGun, I only need to share this one quote to debunk your entire wall of text. This is a quote from a former Mass Effect writer in fact:

"What I didn't understand as a child was that science fiction is not about a gun that atomizes someone; it's about what a human does when they can commit murder and not leave a corpse." - Chris L'etoile


You see, that's EXACTLY what Mass Effect 2 and especially 3 is lacking.



eeerrr... ok? I guess...:huh: Did you even read my "wall of text" before you "debunked" it? 

Just because I don't see where it does debunk what I wrote, nor does this statement contradict the themes and messages of both ME2 and ME3. So call me a fool, but I don't see your point. Care to explain?


I knew it would be too hard for you to understand what I was saying. Okay, I'll explain it for you.


The point is, that sci-fi is not about bringing dead Spectres back to life with superb technology. Sci-fi is about what a human would do with such technology and more importantly, how the reanimated subject (Shepard in this case) would deal with it.

Sci-fi is less about the technology and more about the psychological, sociological and ethical consequences of such technology.

A good example of this would be the anime Ghost In The Shell. It's about a female police officer named Motoko who died but is brought back to life in a synthetic body. Her new android form makes her better, stronger and faster than ever, but she can't help but questioning her identity. Is she really Motoko, or just an AI copy of herself? Is she still human, or just a robot? Ar her memories her own memories, or just copies of her mer memories? Are her memories even real? These are all questions that consume Motoko and over the course of te anime these questions are answered slowly but surely.

Now THAT is proper sci-fi. THAT is how project Lazarus in Mass Effect 2 should have been handled. But as it is right now, project Lazarus is just a lazy, stupid and silly reset button.

I like this human. He understands :police:

That reminds me to continue my Deus Ex playthrough,.... so many games.

I meant sci-fi with spaceflight and aliens. Should have specified... :blush:

The entire backstory of the Witcher 2 is presented in a confusing manner, and the Witcher 1 doesn't really help you there. It must be something in the books.

I installed the Enhanced Edition updates but didn't play much through a second time. Out of curiosity: do the updates help at all making sense of the backstory or why it is important?

Regardless, the Witcher 2 has a good story, though I find it overrated these days, especially when people hold it up to some great standard as a way of dissing ME3.

What's funny, is that not one BioWare staff person/writer/producer has said, "There will be no more endings other than the ones you've already seen. The only way to end the game is to refuse, control, destroy, or synthesize."

Not a one. Their ending, the one they have been talking about all these months, may not even be on the disc. May not have even been seen yet. It's like this; "Yes, we know we said we weren't going to change the endings, and we aren't! You just hadn't seen them yet, here they are! SURPRISE!!!"

We all put this label "ending" on what we -think- is the end of the game....but I don't think BioWare has? Pleeeease correct me if I'm wrong. Link me to the quote. I'd love to stop speculating and actually know for a change.

In response to OP:

Beware of PR double speak. Always wait for player reviews before purchasing. If you need something to distract while waiting, may I recommend "Spec Ops: The Line"?

I hope they're making a new ending so that they can make a fitting sequel


I hope, but then I also have serious doubts. But I agree. With what we have now, it's hard to imagine that they could actually make a sequel. Out of three (Four with the stupid refuse troll) choices, they have to pick ONE for the sequel, therefore disregarding player choice in what is supposed to be a "climatic point". I can only imagine the rage. True, they could make a game that showed all choices for the ending, but from what I saw with  ME3, I cannot see them putting THAT much effort into a game.

Mass Effect > Witcher 2 in my experience, but I stopped playing it fairly early due to it nearly putting me to sleep. Mass effect speeds up in all three installments as you progress, and after putting about 3 hours into the witcher games, the hope of them speeding up is beginning to dwindle.

Those who need instant gratification are the reasons for the over polished, glossy nature of EAware games now. The Witcher 2 is a very good game and reminds me of why I got into games in the first place.

It doesn't have anything to do with instant gratification for me. I just don't feel as drawn in as I do in other games, and I simply don't feel as engaged in it.

So Bioware has been teasing this new DLC to be their biggest to date. Eight of their writers, several of their composers and a majority of the main cast are all attached to it at the moment. Whatever it is, it is supposed to be huge.

You're absolutely right.  

A huge disappointment.
