Quite frankly, I wish you were wrong.
Unless the "and more" is going to be 15+ characters, this is really underwhelming for the final DLC.
A sexbot? A Mini-Prime? A stupid Krogan with a hammer?
This whole DLC reads more like an April Fool's Joke than an expansion for Mass Effect.
A little extreme... alright, very extreme, but I get the disillusionment. I'm happy with what we know so far, it all looks excellent, it just seems a little sparse given the time lapsed between this and the previous one, and the finality of it. Oh, well.
It might be extreme, but look at it from this perspective.
Right now, the only stuff they have showcased for this DLC? It's stuff that is far too unbelievably silly that it makes Volus look legit.
Oh great, we get another Krogan! Whoopee!
Oh look, another Geth! Huzzah!
Oh, what's that? More fanservice in the form of a Female Turian Vanguard(Never mind the whole "Turian biotics are on the whole a lot less powerful", since they've decided to just put the kibosh on actually following their own lore regarding biotics by having two Volus biotics)? Great. Now we get to see that ugly face in every lobby on Tuesday.
And let's not forget the "Alliance Infiltration Unit". Because really, what this game needed was more characters that wiggle when they run right?
There's a reason it's being referred to as the "Sexbot"--and it's not because it talks to you about genders.
The Talon Mercenary and the Geth Juggernaut at the very least sound like they might be interesting--but why another Krogan? What difference in playstyle does it bring to the game?
What makes the Turian Vanguard any different from existing Vanguards?
Why did they not at the very least give us some information regarding the basics all of the characters instead of just throwing out a small sampling?
Ignoring all of that--we're getting seven new guns. Sure, that's more than most DLCs...but right off the bat at least five of them are just ported from single player. That's not bad, but it sure isn't what I would expect from the "final DLC" that they have been working so diligently on.
Then we're getting new weapon mods. Great--but how about giving us a clue of what they do? And why is there another Assault Rifle Omni-Blade listed?
I realize I'm being a huge downer, but this whole DLC just feels kind of like "here's what we had leftover, knock yourselves out" rather than "Here's what we worked hard to bring you as a last hurrah. Enjoy!".
Good for you.
My first question (to ntrisley) would be:
What exactly were you looking for in the last DLC? Because
it seems to me that adding female turians, a crazy new Geth model, and a Krogan
with an actual club is unique enough that it should satisfy a lot of fans.
Personally, I wanted Protheans, but if they don’t release one, I’m still
looking forward to trying the new kits out.
Secondly, if you hate ALL of the new kits, you still have
dozens upon dozens of unique kits, so there should be something out there for
you, regardless. Plus the new weapons should be cool.
All in all, I’d say this DLC is a win, regardless.
