Also...I love how Shepard shuts Samantha up when the clone kicks her off the Normandy.

I'm one of those people who plays for the characters and story. I have some fun with the combat and such, but I'm into RPGs for the characters. :-) That said, I truly loved Citadel. I just got it this week, and this past weekend I got to hole up with my PC and play. I did two full playthroughs. The first one I did on my secondary character since she was the one I had played last. She's a paragon adept who has carried a torch for Kaiden since ME1. It was a lot of fun, and having Kaiden come to my rescue, fix me dinner, etc. was really sweet. After that playthrough, I just had to find out how things would go with my "primary." She is a paragon (95% of the time at least...) infiltrator who is madly in love with Garrus. I have to say it -- I was already mostly convinced that Garrus is the perfect romance choice -- at least for me -- and after playing Citadel, I'm even more crazy in love with him. The date at the bar is possibly my favorite scene with Garrus ever. Brandon Keener is an incredible actor. That voice? OMG -- Hell, yeah, melt me into a little puddle as Garrus dips me deeply and...

I think I'm glad I played my alt first -- if I had played my primary first, I might never have tried out the other version. Kaiden is sweet, but Garrus just amazing.

Other thoughts? The clone plotline was fun. I really liked FemShep's reactions to her "other me" as things went along. I got some really good laughs at crew reactions to her comments and questions. "Do I really sound like that?"

It also really did make me misty and a bit teary-eyed in a couple of places when remembering lost friends. (I'm not going to spoil -everything- for everyone... lol)

I've seen a bit of commentary about how this DLC was purely "fan service" and really added nothing to the game. I suppose that depends on your play style. If, like me, you play for the plot and the characters and love the friendships and interactions with your squadmates, then Citadel is simply amazing. If you're out there because you play for the combat or just to "beat the game," and only do the plot stuff so you can reach those goals, then no, Citadel probably isn't for you.

Bottom line for me is that I loved it, and it made me feel a little bit better about my overall experience with ME3. I'm still not happy with the ending, but at least I feel like I got to tie up a few loose ends before that final assault. Thanks, guys. :-)

Oh, and the interactions with Zaeed were so well done. A really beautiful way to say goodbye to Robin Sachs. I can't tell you how much he will be missed. He's been such an integral part of so many BioWare games, I can't imagine how big the hole would be if you pulled his voice from all those places. Sleep peacefully, Robin. We'll meet you across the sea.

 I read an article someplace that described Citadel as "Shepard's loyalty mission." I think that's the best summary for it possible ^_^

The character interaction was always the biggest thing for me throughout the entire series, so this was definitely a big pleasant surprise to me. On top of that, after primary "missions" of the DLC are complete, it provides enough vagueness in places to create a peacetime setting for those of us who want to keep using it after the reaper threat is resolved.

I just played that today. Did the DLC just before atttacking Cerberus

I love the apartment.

Loved the party but would have loved to have had a little after game trinket like say a copy of the party photo saved to the hard drive. That would have made it sweet.

Aside from that it was fun fun fun

IMO this DLC is very entertaining. I enjoyed the squad banter. And it is a bit of a break from the dark mood the the main game sets. Even if the evil clone has been used before it was very fun. But as Joker says " You got to love the classics"

Despite the Ending of ME3, this is still my favorite ME game, this DLC just makes it worth playing again.

BioWare, your next game must be like this DLC.


"Thats just my opinion, no need to go spreading it around"

If bioware games were to go the way of this DLC ie more character interaction, banter, and moments of lightheartednes that make me the player feel like a part of this DLC then I can officially say I am back to b eing a BIowares biggest fan. This DLC was everything I look for in a Bioware title. Fun, entertaining and full of honest emotion, joy, rage, love, humor, and interaction with the world and my squadmates. No other game can or has done what bioware does when it makes you love their characters. This DLC was Bioware shining doing what they do best. This DLC and Tuchanka will hopefully replace the ending for me when I think about what Bioware is and what they do.

Just finished it as well. IMHO, the best DLC of any DLCs I can think of for any game. I wanted more time with the NPCs and that's what I got. It even gave me a reason to change Shepard's outfits. :D

Also, it made the ending better because I got the time with the NPCs before the end. I laughed so hard in many parts. T'was wonderful!

BioWare, you are cruel artisans. It may have been completely irreverent and, in the grand scheme of things, it didn't fit into the story very well, but I didn't care and it was ****g awesome. I still don't like the ending but this at least helps me make peace. It was my final farewell.

Well worth playing through with my different Shepards. Just did my Femshep with a Garrus romance. That dancing scene was superb on so many levels.

I just finished this particular piece of DLC.

BioWare, I'm still very upset with you over the whole Star Child fiasco. But I think that this DLC proves that, on some level, you still care.

And, perhaps, so do I. *single tear*

Also, did anybody else not invite Jacob? I just hate that guy...

Havent posted on these forums for a while, I stopped after the whole ending-drama got out of hand.

But I figured I just had to somehow express how much of a joy this DLC was to me.

For all the drama and hate you guys at Bioware have had to endure, know that you've probably made a lot of fans happy with Citadel. It truly was the best DLC I've ever played and an excellent way to wrap things up content-wise. In my eyes, you've more then redeemed yourself both through this and through all the DLC you've chosen to release for free, and I am once again very thrilled to see what Bioware has in store for the future.

Hats off to you.

You know, I haven't posted here in a while but I was just discussing ME3 and someone asked me whether the citadel DLC was any good and I started gushing about it so I thought it was worth reiterating it here. It really was an awesome effort. Good job, Bioware. You really knocked it out of the park.

Citadel was quite possibly one of my favourite DLCs alongside "Lair of the Shadowbroker" and "Omega." The writing was superlative. The dialogue was witty, charming and hilarious. It also gave us a glimpse into the group dynamics as a whole. How the other members of the crew interacted with one another instead of how they interact with Shepard alone.

It was a nice mix between action, drama, humour and slice of life and had a great deal of variety to keep us occupied without getting overly bored.

Overall it acted as a great bookend to an overall brilliant trilogy and, for me, it helped close out and flesh out the series.

I have yet to complete the quiet party. Once I do this i will write an extensive review about this DLC. It had both good and bad things.

Finished the DLC, was great. Party was hillarious, so many laugh I never had in this game, especially with Grunt and his "noez" and when Shep got massivelly trolled by Joker & the rest with his dancing.

I must say that Tali moves her hips like a pro, while Liara... well, let's say that her dancing is another thing that she has in common with Shepard :))

Just finished it today and I gotta say this is the best DLC I've ever played. Having fun with your squadmates and all that was so much fun. I hope BW will make stuff like this for their future games and if they do.. I can forgive the bad ending.

Awesome..... no really.. Say nothing............

Awesome!!!

More like that. Or, ok people are going to hate me for saying this.......... Like this, but with better balance.

I'll explain.

After the ending of ME3 I went through alot of love with the mission's, but then I'd get to that ending and the best word I can use for getting through it, is that I suffered through them.

Citadel DLC was a smooth calming balm that took me from that low ad shot me up to where I want to be when I am playing a game.

However, looking to the future and narrative in general for a sequel to ME3, it occurs to me that keeping players on a high all the time would be a mistake.

In ME1 Shepard was grounded and had a moment of weakness, which he overcame and emerged an even bigger hero than before. To make the character so boss, that nothing scratches him is to make a character who is two dimensional. And Shep's anything but a 2 dimensional character. He's been through the ringer and then some. And we've seen him from happy to sad to angry to serene and more.

I'm not worried that BW can not create great characters....... but just in case the character designers think Citadel DLC characterisation is what players want all the time, take a moment to pause and reflect on the emotional range displayed by characters in ME2's loyalty missions. And the love players have for these characters.

LOL I agree! Could be the alcohol because I swear Liara in ME1 danced like a pro.:lol:

I also love the DLC. Just goes to show how attached to the characters we are. It especially wonderful to see how they interact with one another. Tranyor's toothbrush has to be the best moment in the DLC.
