You know what is internal and confidential? Thinks you shove where the sun don't shine.....

Om the R&r thing, I see no problem with that.

I actually thought Arkham City was really bad with that, even considering it was a video game. That game just did not have a good flow with me. One of the reasons I prefer Arkham Asylum. Maybe being in the same place the entire time didn't help. Both Mass Effect 2 and 3 did much better with the flow of their stories.

Anyway though, I was talking more about just how ridiculous it seems then how well it flows, for the DLC.


What is ridiculous about R&R though?

I think Shepard taking a "shore leave" during the war with the Reapers when he should be working constantly against them is ridiculous. I can't see Shepard doing it in good conscience. Especially the Shepard in ME3 who's depressed all the time thinking about Earth, the kid, Thessia, etc. And gambling and decorating his apartment? I have to think "seriously?" It's not much different from a vacation on a beach planet. Making this the final DLC just makes it even worse.

There is a bar on the Normandy. Why can't this kind of thing happen there?

How significant this conspiracy will be to draw Shepard's attention away from the Reapers is yet to be seen, but I doubt it will be significant enough, unless if it has to do with IT.

Because Anderson is down in the muck and billions of people are dieing?   *cough*

I don't really see a problem with R&R (I actually think it'd be quite nice to have a change of pace in the impending-doom tone that the game takes), but I suppose if you take a step back, it seems odd to be drinking and gambling when "millions of humans" are dying everyday on Earth. I guess just block it out and try not to think about it?

But the announcement says all the squadmate romance/casino stuff occurs after the Citadel conspiracy. He isn't really "taking a shore leave" so much as chilling for a day or two after he finishes his shooty business on the Citadel.

Because unraveling this conspiracy plot will be so tiring and brutal as fighting a Reaper, that Shepard will need time off to gamble and drink? And get an apartment with decorations? What kind of soldier sets up a home and decorates it during a major war? Let alone one of the head figures in it?

Chilling for a day or two is way too long.

Pretty simple fix. If going to a bar or casino doesn't fit your Shepard, don't play that part of the game...

"Hey Liara!  I know you're all upset that Thessia is burning and millions are dead, but the rest of us are going to hit the slots.  Wanna come?  I bet you'll feel completely different in just one loading screen."

You know that this "conspiracy plot" involves lots of combat, right?

Also this.

I won't. I just think this is very underwhelming as final DLC.

As if Shepard isn't used to this?

Well, I suppose you could try going to a warzone and telling soldiers they don't deserve R&R because "they should be used to it."

The Citadel isn't a warzone. And I didn't say Shepard shouldn't have any R&R.

There's no reason this "mission" will be any more strenuous on Shepard than usual. It will probably be less so.

What makes you think Shepard didn't need R&R after every single mission? ME3 takes place over the span of months.

So, what do you guys make of this conspiracy plot, and how it pertains to the Citadel?

I have my speculations, but, unfortunately, I've gotten to a point where my ideas are more "this'd be cool" situations than actual "could be" scenarios.

As I said earlier, I think it's a great chance to expand on the danger of indoctrination. When you hear Javik talk about how Reapers would conquer a planet and then turn the population into indoctrinated agents, it's pretty damn chilling. If it's revealed that there are high-placed people in the Citadel now compromised and trying to take down Shepard to tear apart the war movement, then I think this mission will become interesting.

If R&R is OK, what's the problem?

Again, gambling, decorating an apartment while Earth burns, etc.

Some degree of R&R is fine, but that just seems ridiculous to me.

Can anyone explain this to me:

" Mass Effect 3: Citadel offers one final chance to see the characters you have known for years and rekindle romances."

If this happens before London and all, that ain't the final chance. Won't we like talk to these guys before we sprint to hug harbinger?

I dont gget the 'you can decorate Shepards apartment' whoopti that BW put in. I cant see much reason for that reature. Hopefully that is not indicative of the rest of the DLC.

I think the announcement is speaking in RL chronological terms. For players this will be the last new content they experience concerning these characters.

I made a post that has since been closed where I speculated the DLC will be post-ending.   Turns out,  Bioware cant figure out how to word their announcements without causing a lot of butthurt.  I think it was a tactical choice of words now,  albeit it,  a low blow,  to sell more.  There is no other explination.

They might as well have said  "if you're going to die,  buy this DLC to say goodbye to your loved one"
