If you ignored the ending entirely in terms of what fans would want...this is a character focused DLC. That's always drove Mass Effect. The characters.
I'm definitely excited for it.
I do agree to an extent. Yes Mass Effect was always driven by its interesting character. Shepard, Joker, Tali, Saren, Harbinger, Thane...ALL OF THEM!! I liked learning about the other species in the ME universe. I am a sci fi fan, and have watched Star Trek, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wras and many others.
The thing is though I have always loved episodes where the would discover something new, investigate, have a conflict (action scene) resolve the issue all with banter within the characters and connections with each other. But the episodes that focus on just the characters and the problems they face and conversations that last for ages tend to get a bit boring. In one episode they have a variety of things while in the other its just talking.
I just think that the character banter and relationships, especially during what is going on througout the whole game, should not be on the top of the list. The story should flow seamlessly. The momentum should build. Conflicts should occur (wheter it is gunfights or between squadmates) and then the main conflict should be resolved completly (wheter happy or sad). If the focus is just on character interaction, then the rest will just fade away. I just guess others have different priorities in a game as wonderful as Mass Effect. I just hope they can make ALL thier fans happy next time.
