I haven't played ME3 since the Extended Cut, but lately I've been missing the game a bit. Well, I suppose missing the atmosphere and characters would be a more accurate statement. So I'm thinking about purchasing the Omega or Leviathan DLC this weekend and diving back in again for awhile.

For those of you who've already played them, what did you think? Are the stories pretty decent (without too many spoilers please). Would you recommend one over the other? Should I run screaming instead? :D

Leviathan is the better one overall, I felt.

Omega is not bad, but it's kind of self-contained. It felt a bit short, like Kasumi's "Stolen Memories" DLC.

Watched both of them on Youtube.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Don't waste your f*cking money.

Absolutely for Leviathan. You can bring squadmates and it's all about story and lore, with new dialogue.

Omega also has a great story but it's self-contained, but man the DLC is big. About 3 and a half hours long. Mostly combat but everything about the scale of it is great, though you can't bring squadmates.

All in all definately get Leviathan, and if you want grab Omega too, despite what some people here say it does have a story, albeit a self-contained one.

Leviathan is certainly worth it. Can't really say the same for Omega. While well made, both in terms of cinematics (I'm aware of the occasional hiccups) and gameplay, it lacks a certain substance. The price doesn't help.

Essentialy this.


Neither are really bad.  Personally, I prefer Omega to Leviathan, but that's because of the lack of autodialogue in Omega.  It does feel pretty expensive for the small amount of content, though.  So, I can understand why someone would prefer Leviathan.

I got levy and it was ok. I hit the ladder glitch once but that wasn't that bad. Checkpoints are forgiving. Omega I didn't buy. 15 is a bit much for me and for what omega was offering/did offer the price didn't seem worth it. Levy has a lot of rich lore and fun investigation elements to it I enjoyed. Omega is more 'pew pew'.

Though the plus parts of Omega I would say are the class interrupt and Aria's character dev. It did have a few more glitches though from what I have seen.

But ya, levy for sure.

Like I said in the original post, I miss the atmosphere and I think a lot of that is lost just passively watching someone else's playthrough online. If it's any good, I'd rather experience it for myself, you know?

So far it sounds like I should give Leviathan a try. Thanks for the feedback everyone! :)

Well, my wonderful opinion tells you that they both have their pros and cons but are overall good. The gameplay in Omega was a lot of fun but it wasn't very story based. Leviathan is more story based and more interesting, and a lot more open.

So my answer would be yes but Omega is overpriced.

Leviathan is ok, Omega is really just an additional level not much story behind it.

If I were playing the game for the first time round I would download both because it adds to your overall game, but if you’re looking for additional story content probably just go with Leviathan.

I thought Leviathan was the best DLC they put out for ME 3 so far, fairly interesting content, and mostly fairly notable things that tie into the main story.

As for Omega, I would say pass, it was extremely over-hyped & overpriced. I say this because as for story content it is extremely lacking, and most characters in it are very bland. Also its allot of mindless combat, which can be fun, but after a while I just got sick of the entire thing.

Basically fight for a fair bit, do a tinny agree or disagree dialog segment, with no middle ground, and then repeat.

They are both fun, with Leviathan being more story heavy (though I really didn't care for the Leviathan plotline), while Omega is more action heavy (which was very enjoyable as Aria is one of my favorite characters, and it definitely expands on her). Only you can determine if either are worth it, but if you have the money, why not?

Leviathan is a good DLC, well worth the money and while omega isn't bad, it's not worth the steep price. For 1/3 of the price of a full game, I expect a lot more content than 3 hours of game-play. Overall though, Leviathan is the better of the two imo.

Leviathan is imo a must-buy, it's a great piece of DLC.

Omega isn't quite as good but is still very entertaining; the only barrier to entry for this one is that it is 15 dollars, and some consider that to be too much for this type of DLC (not substantially longer, and doesn't feel nearly as tied to the main story as Leviathan does).

I really like Aria, so that's disappointing to hear about Omega. I enjoy ME3's combat, but definitely prefer the story and character conversations the most.

IMHO, i would say no. Omega, from what i have seen and heard is primarily just action with no real story ramifications.
Leviathan has more of an impact on the story, but anything that had that much of the main story should have been INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL GAME!!!

I would say no to lev if you are one of those who thought actually getting the lev would do as it was advertised and defeat the reapers while it can fry reapers by proxy it does squat to change the war it could've taken out the reapers on Earth that stopped you and then it does nothing to override starkid like you think it could.

Heck it even goes against its own interest by allowing you to pick anything BUT CONTROL now this is important because the only reason they let you go is so they can control the reapers yet that definitively can't be done if they're dead or you choose the FU option and it's made difficult for them if you pick synthesis. Now if you don't care about any of that and want to see them, have some non scarry crazies, and go to a cool underwater zone then try it out. I thought the best thing of the Lev dlc was the fact my LI cared when I was going to go into said water zone and actually being in the water zone rightup till the Lev started talking to me. Oh and my LI cares in the scenes after that so that was my likes on it.

And even though I haven't played Omega you have to decide do you want Aria to have one or two couches to do business from? Because all the players who've done this say thats all the benefit you really get.

During the Leviathan playthrough I thought it would have some impact on the ending, it does not! It just adds a few lines from kid stupid and it ends the game the same depressing and sad way it did back in March of last year!

Omega was fun and it was interesting to fight along side Aria. Her flare and lash attacks caught me off guard and I thought dang!

Unless you just enjoy combat, you can watch Leviathan on Youtube and get the story on the Leviathans.

If you do just love the combat you should get Omega because that's all there pretty much is to it. Not going to add anything to the game or the story whatsoever.
