Strategic palettes and paint splatters EVERYWHERE. 

 

... Let's ruin the trash dumpster with our Solas fluff and feels. TOGETHER.

I really enjoyed the hell out of Omega, but it's a siege, plain and simple. It's a fun siege, but it's not something people can't skip. I love Aria and I also loved Nyreen

Spoiler

Poor Nyreen

. It was nice having a party of badass ladies going through this siege together.

 

See, I thought I liked Aria until I played the DLC. She just annoyed me, Nyreen seemed like a waste of space for the very short time she appeared for, I was disappointed that I couldn't bring any of the usual team (if I can't bring Garrus then why am I even bothering!), even going at the slowest speed I was still completing it in a couple of hours, and the most disappointing part was that you couldn't return to Omega after. I was so hoping to have it as a place to go back to again. Eugh. Nope. I've played it twice and never touched it on any more of my ME3 runs. I'd have been better off just setting fire to my money. Would have enjoyed that more. Considering the Citadel DLC was the same price and provided me with so much of awesome, yeah, it just made Omega seem even worse.

I'm trying to think of something nice to say about it. Um.

Er.

No. I just hated it so much.

Leviathan and Citadel were freaking awesome though, and I'm someone who didn't get all furious about the ME3 ending either. But Omega spurs an anger that goes beyond understanding. It's right up there with Bethany Carver.

 

Maybe if I'd gotten it for a fiver I'd be more willing to accept it for what it is and be less like the people over in Scuttlebutt(spoilers) who are making comparison lists for what you can buy for $15.

Best thing about this was the redhead was fire. Lol

I didn't mind omega, but it was easily one of the more lackluster DLCs. Not being able to bring Garrus just made no sense to me. And then not even a callback to either him or Mordin. :[

Pff who needs Garrus when I can haz Aria Loved that DLC. She was so boss.

[BoscoBread]

Too fearful of spoiler to check the threads around. But, does anyone know if Solas appears in the DLC if you play after main story?

No.  If he's already left, he doesn't show up. 

[Avejajed]

they do exist.

Not boss enough to get Omega back without Shep doing all the heavy lifting. Pfft. Should have thrown her out the airlock and taken over Omega myself.

Well, if you know what you're getting into, it's more fun. I also read the Mass Effect: Invasion comics before I played so having that whole background on what happened on Omega and what Aria's response was set things up well.

 

My Shepard kind of annoyed Aria a little with her paragon ways, so there was a little tension, but it made me laugh. And no, she didn't get the kiss at the end.

 

I think, even when it comes to Jaws of Hakkon, loosely knowing what you're getting into, and having expectations that match up, totally help with enjoyment.

 

I didn't expect anything significant with Solas in the first DLC, and possibly not in the second (prove me wrong, DA team, please!) but this DLC has me excited anyway. New area, new stuff, new lore.

 

Inquisition totally re-energized me when it comes to lore and stuff.

[MoonDrummer]

What was the joke that

 

Spoiler

Solas made about Fen'Harel????

 

Any new party banters with Solas?

Lavellan- You forgot someone

Scottish professor guy- Ofcourse I forgot Fen'Harel!

Solas- Most people do

If I could art, I would art nothing but paint-splattered Solas.  Naked.

Okay, so I finished it.  Spoilerssss...

 

Spoiler

This DLC seemed to focus a lot on the Inquisitor and what it means to assume that role and be forgotten underneath the legend...which you can take as foreshadowing if you are so inclined (which I am).  

 

The last Inquisitor, Ameriden, turns out to be an elf (shocker!) who was keeping Hakkon, in dragon form, at bay by freezing them both in time.  There's this very poignant moment after you tell him that his lover died trying to find him & how the elves in the Dales were betrayed, and he starts lamenting about being burdened with the role of Inquisitor.  He says something along the lines of "Cherish every moment of happiness you can get, Inquisitor...the world will be quick enough to take them away."  And you can follow up with an "I feel that way, too" kinda line - which of course is the line I chose, since I like my Quizzie being angsty and melodramatic.

 

Also, Scout Harding has a dialogue immediately after you defeat Hakkon where she laments how so much of who Ameriden was ended up being erased from history (that he was an elf, that he died protecting everyone, the fact that his lover was a mage AND an elf), and that the the more people start thinking of the current Inquisitor as 'more than a person' that she/he starts becoming 'less than a person'.  The moment is pretty sad and ominous, and paired with Ameriden's speech from before I think it might be throwing a thread out there that might be picked up in later DLCs. 

 

It would have been nice to hear a romance-specific comment after being addressed by Ameriden specifically, but alas, nothing...though Solas did in fact speak to him regarding the elves.  Hell, it seemed an appropriate time for all of the love interests to chirp in with a comment, but...?

 

The parallels between Fen'Harel and the Inquisitor, though, are obvious.  Both are figures who become/became distorted over time and adjusted to suit the needs of the storyteller.  Very good DLC all in all; I ain't mad at the price.

Who is? Not Garrus, not the entire Alliance...

Not Thane...

So this is off topic but X-Files is coming back on air for 6 episodes with Mulder and Scully!

Haven't caught up with the thread (playing hooky with the new DLC). But all I can say to PW's tweet about scaling is:



The bogfishers are even level 20. B-O-G-F-I-S-H-E-R-S! Now I am spending my time making this face



at even the lowly wildlife. LOL!

Still managed to kill some things, and got tier 3 mats from them. I am playing with my level 16 mage!Lavellan, and have Solas, Cole and Cass. We even...

Tried to take on the giant Ice Troll boss. *guffaw!* I knew it wasn't going to happen, but I just wanted to try for sheets and goggles.

Now I am off to the Hissing Wastes. Must purchase better schematics.

Which point in the game did you start?  Pre or Post breakup?

[Addai]

Spoiler

Not sure, he doesn't really say much before he dies, I'm assuming he's Andrastian because before he dies he says that he is going to join his lover at Andraste's side. His lover may have been Andrastian, and maybe converted him, but she was also an elf and I would assume Dalish too, so who knows?

 

Him being Andrastian is interesting though, given how the Emerald Knights react when one of their members is going to convert. Maybe Orlesian-Dalish relations weren't always so bad.

Thanks for the explanation.

Spoiler

I find this very meh. What, we're all Andrastians now? Bioware should be giving the elves cultural distinctiveness, not lumping everyone in.

The chantry erasing knowledge of him being an elf and having an Elven mage lover gives me another reason to dislike them though, so there's that.

Yay. This shows used to scare the crap of me when I was little. Not as much as V ever did, but enough to have some nightmares.

7 year old Delphine was very impressionable, obviously.

(I don't know why, seeing human bodies being dismantled in anyway possible has never been an issue, but seeing an alien parasite taking control over people used to freak me out. It took me 20 years to watch Alien. And I still haven't watched X Files entirely to this day. But since Alien was okay, I guess I can try watching X Files again now, I'll be alright. I'M NOT SEVEN YEARS OLD ANYMORE.)
