[Quarian Master Race]

From Ashes: Totally worth it. This guy is the best character in the game who isn't a quarian.
Leviathan: No quarians, and tries to justify starbrat. I can't shoot the cuttlefish with the perfectly good mech I have. Crap
Omega: Not a single quarian or even a mention of them. Can't even bring one with you if you want. Absolute crap.
Citadel: Wasted potential. Can only invite 1 quarian to your party.

Buy From Ashes and take Javik everywhere. Citadel is also acceptable for drunk quarian shenanigins, though again it could be better. Otherwise, don't bother.

Quarian fan detected.

The true value of the Citadel DLC is for Ng+ games because of the awesome Lancer, suppressor pistol and shade armor. Try are all worth it to some degree if you're a fan but of you were going to skip one make it omega as it is never brought up again. Aria winds up back on the citadel anyways.

+1 for Lancer. Love that rifle.

Also the best stealth sequence in the trilogy.

Totally. Having access to the Suppressor pistol from the start of NG+ is great too, as it allows me to do my Infiltrator-Agent build, my all-time favorite ME3 class. Combine that with Ottemis' N7 reskin of the Cerberus Shade armor and I got myself a badass sweet-looking femshep.

[conor546]

Yes, especially citadel

[SilJeff]

I say Leviathan, From Ashes, and Citadel are all worth it. Omega to a lesser extent.

Ah, yes, the GoldenEye ME3 run.

The DLC is all overpriced by this point. I'd consider it more $20-30 tops, but well, Bioware pricing sucks

 

From Ashes - In a way, the most essential. Not truly so, but I can barely imagine a playthrough without Javik. He gives maximum effect if you recruit him early on though, not late in the game.

 

Extended Cut - Free. So all I have to say here is that you might want to see the original ending first, just to see what people hated. Some even dislike the EC out of spite; that it only elaborates on what they still consider crap. Personally, I'd suggest it.

 

Leviathan - I consider it the whole actual '4th Act' of the story, so most of my Shepards (actual and hypothetical) would go for it, unless they're a super non-inquisitive sort. People hate this one because it acts to justify the story/ending that they hate, but in itself, its a fun romp and very very good at extending playthrough time for a few hours, adding a sort of epic scale to some of the story. While I wouldn't consider Leviathan the MOST essential DLC, I also would consider the game to be lacking a bit without it.

 

Omega - The most sidemissiony DLC, even as it is one of the longest. I have a personal distaste for this DLC because a key scene of it keeps bugging out on me (looking ridiculous in the process), but otherwise, it is the best DLC for just extending your gameplay, especially combat, time with ME3. It doesn't super tie into things (unlike Leviathan and Citadel and From Ashes in their own ways), but still feels like a legit chapter to Shepard's story. I consider it the most optional of all of the DLCs.

 

Citadel - A weird one. On one hand, it has some of the most enjoyable times of the whole trilogy, and ties into choices/characters the most of maybe any content of the trilogy as well (save for maybe stuff like the Suicide Mission of ME2). On the other, it 'feels' like it doesn't fit, that its a whole other world, and even at times that it is mocking the players (YMMV).

As a fan, this one may be one of the most essential. But in terms of tying into the trilogy and the series as it is, its one of the most optional. Personally, due to my own theories about the series (this includes how I think ME3 will tie into 'ME4' in a way), I consider it the most essential, but that's on a very personal level.

 

1. From Ashes

2. Leviathan or Citadel

3. Leviathan or Citadel

4. Omega

 

Summary: Get From Ashes. Probably get Leviathan and/or Citadel. If you are okay with spending the money, get Omega.

From Ashes adds a couple hours of gameplay tops (aside from having Javik on your squad). Leviathan adds a few hours. Omega adds up to several hours. Citadel adds up to several hours or more (as it has a combat arena). And of course all of these add many more hours if you do NG+, like any of the game's content.

 

In terms of personal appeal, which is a whole other matter than 'should you buy it', I go:

1. Citadel

2. Leviathan

3. From Ashes

4. Omega

[Barquiel]

I have Leviathan, Omega and Citadel...and I don't regret buying them (I don't have From Ashes).

I'd advise getting Leviathan if you want to know more about the lore of ME3. Omega is very enjoyable if you like Aria (I do)...and the Citadel DLC is great as long as you can take it for what it is: blatant fanservice.

[SwobyJ]

There's a lot of 'principled' reasons to not buy any of the DLC.

 

From Ashes - 'Should have been in the game'

Leviathan - 'Terribly justifies the ending'

Omega - 'Cut content made into DLC'

Citadel - 'Blatant fanservice'

 

But is it all still worth buying? In itself, IMO, yes. Its just too bad the price is still so high.

[KaiserShep]

The game feels horribly incomplete without the DLC to me now. I find them all to be very enjoyable, not to mention the weapons that you get, except for the M-55 Argus you get in Leviathan, which is the bastard child of the Mattock and Vindicator, with the charm of neither. But the Suppressor and Lancer you get in the Citadel DLC are terrific. I also cannot play the game without Javik, but obviously From Ashes bugs me in principle.

[Valmar]

I'm hearing so much praise for From Ashes that it makes me feel like I missed something. I rarely ever took Javik with me and didn't really like him as a character. He was there just for extra lore content for me. Lol.

[Barquiel]

Javik is simply not my cup of tea personality-wise. Purchasing a squadmate I wouldn't use (or like) just seemed like a kinda pointless waste of money to me. And from what I've seen the mission is rather unspectacular.

[themikefest]

Javik is excellent. He calls it like he sees it. He makes the Thessia mission bearable.

I think "From Ashes" was the last one I got and when I did the mission my suspicions were confirmed: overpriced. The mission is so underwhelming. Javik is OK. I don't particularly like him as a person, but I do like him as a character. DAI takes this approach as well: they give us well written, but objectionable personalities (I'm looking at you Vivienne), and I am glad to have them.

I'm sorry, trying the game without the EC first just to see why people hated it sounds like someone purposely sticking themselves in the leg with the knife just to see what it feels like. I say don't even fool with the unnecessary pain, just go straight for the EC and skip the pre-EC sting

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

From Ashes - should have been in the game

Omega - only one of the added DLCs that was planned. I found the DLC fun. Bring out your renegade femShep.

Leviathan - added with the EC to justify Starbrat.

Citadel DLC - fan service. Fun and a good way to end the game. Forget doing the final battle for Cronos Station and Earth. Not worth it. Put the game in the box after you complete the DLC.

I've looked at some of the youtubes that include Javik, and have not made the decision to invest in the DLC. He comes across as a bit of an arrogant troll, very different from some of the other Prothean personalities we meet (Vigil, Vendetta).

Maybe I'll buy it at some point. Or not.

[General TSAR]

If you're like me and wish for respawning enemies to test new toys or get extra cash or fight with old squadmates outside of missions, citadel is a worthy investment.

True. Though it is a bit refreshing, considering he's like the only one who doesn't worship The Commander Shepard. I'll point out btw that Vigil and possibly Vendetta are personality scans from scientists whereas Javik is a soldier shaped through countless battles and hardened by tough decisions and loss. It's understandable that his personality would be different.

 

I do think they overplayed his arrogant "you're all primitives" stance a bit too hard though. It made it feel less genuine and more like Bioware trying to be funny, imo.

[Vazgen]

Well, he is an arrogant troll But also hilarious at times and presenting unique perspective on things no other squadmate does. 

Can't beat the way he trolls Liara

Spoiler

Liara: "This nightmare never ends!"

Sheaprd: "The hell it won't. We get to this artifact and we can all wake up."

Javik: "50.000 years later"

 

Liara: "It seems each connection provides more power to the beacon"

Javik: "Asari are observant"

Liara: "Was that... sarcasm?"

Javik: "And easily confused"

 

[Pasquale1234]

^^ Yeah, I've seen some of that in the youtubes.

I get the humor, and I think we all need to be reminded to not take ourselves so seriously from time to time - yet it seems to me like he is trolling her at a time when she is already in a lot of pain, and it seems really cruel to me.

JMHO for now, and subject to change.

For all his grim PoV on things he has a soft side to him as well. He just only reveals it near the end of the game and the decisions you make impact his fate in the end. But content-wise From Ashes DLC  adds the least to the game, so its understandable if one desires to save money on it.
