I was just reading the cerberus reort about the raloi and I was thinking maybe bioware would implement this into the hammerhead dlc mission to have us go to their planet and use the tank on something it's just an idea. Also I would like to see a batarian or vorcha squadmate some time.
New DLC ideas

well I mean vorcha adapt to their surroundings what if it were abandoned by it's family and then found by some salarian stg and they trained him he would have to adapt to the intelligent surroundings. Plus the batarian would be cool

I don't care much for new downloadable weapons or armour outfits myself, and given I've completed the game three times now I don't see much of an impact they'd make anyway. Nice trinkets, though, and I'm not against them in any way.
1. What I'd primarily like would be small, atmospheric tweaks done by some DLCs, like new newscast messages (like, for example, the ones you get transmitted via the Cerberus Network) - some of them foreshadowing new
missions maybe? - and a wider range of reactions of the NPCs and the places you visit, especially after you've done the main storyline.
For one, the colony attacks do stop, and more and more people, starting with Omega, will most likely be able to put two and two together and figure out who did it (hint: the guy with the prototype warship and the 'Dirty Dozen'-like crew of specialists). Put that in the game, have the bystanders react on you (in AWE if you did it as a paragorn, in FEAR if you went renegade).
Also, improve the reactions of the environment especially if you have Legion in your squad! Add some cutscenes, add some drama if you want, but it's obvious for all the world to see LEGION IS GETH! If I take him to the Citadel I can very well expect there to be major complications and constant reactions from the populace. The way it is now, Anderson does not even look at him and just gives one line on the armed to the teeth AI platform. There should at least have been a major problem at the customs' location instead of everybody dismissing the armed to the teeth AI platform as Shephard's personal notebook.
Still, it would be nice if the DLCs lead up to some kind of conclusion (then done in ME 3) for the whole Quarian/Geth problem.
And I second the call on the forums for larger explorable sections on Omega, Illium and the Citadel.
2. Secondly, receive updates on the work on the Collector base if you decided to keep it, maybe even make a small mission where Cerberus tasks you with shipping some critical supplies and a dozen or so specialists there so you can see what is happening. Also: Show that Cerberus is salvaging the literally hundreds of ancient wrecks there; the data and technology to be found there is priceless and will add even more depth to the universe (eg. give some more info on all those space-faring races we read about when we explore and scan planets that
went extinct).
And I want some good reasons added why after I opted for keeping the base basically every of my team members reacted as if I had just offered the Virgin mary to Lucifer on a silver plate. Seriously, either you make it a conscious choice that makes sense like the end discussion in ME1 or you at least make everybody give me some good reasons for their statements that go beyond 'I don't trust the IM'. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wondering.png[/smilie] I mean, d'uh! The ambiguity is the whole point of the character.
3. Downloadable missions should either be massive, stand-alone narratives that truly do span hours of game play OR should tie in with already existing narratives (Liara and the Shadow Broker, Mr. Thrax, the information-smuggling Salarians on Omega...). It doesn't even have to do something with the main storyline about the Reapers, really. The SR2 going after a pirate lord in the Terminus systems (new solar systems, please) because the Alliance doesn't have to guts for it would be fine. Hell, throw in a space battle or animated boarding sequence, and it would be great!
I am more than willing to pay for new content as long as that content warrants payment! Paying 5$ for the Asteroid mission in ME1 was okay, even though I had hoped for a bit more, but I won't open my purse for DLCs that amount to no more than the side-missions you did in ME 2 when you found an anomaly while scanning
a planet.
Also, more Quarians! [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]

Well there have been rumours around about the next DLC squad mate Kasumi.
Then we've got the Hammerhead DLC which inadvertently should come with a lot of additional sidequests to actually use it in.
And then there's a possible third DLC squad mate apart from Zaeed and Kasumi - just look that up on the main page, there are two "classified" entries for the squad. So I guess we'll have quite a bit coming up. Personally, I wouldn't want to have a Vorcha in my squad though - they're more suited for cannon fodder rather than characters that really matter.
Edit: Just noticed that Garrus isn't in that list so it might be that that third DLC squaddie is out of the question. But who knows...

I wouldn't mind if they did a little more DLC, and maybe pushed ME3 a little farther out. Honestly, I want ME3 to be an ending, not a "you saved the galaxy! (2 months later) Grocery Quest!"

I myself wouldn't say no to a Batarian party member. Always liked them.

I assume those classified entries are Garrus and Legion, not there to avoid spoilers for folks.Tankfriend wrote...

Interesting thought for the new character would not mind Batarian or Vorcha, but no one wants a Varren squad mate they would be like Dog in DA:O or a Hanar squad member

I'd like a hanar too I forgot about them it could be a biotic tech mix I forgot the name to it but I'd also like a new raloi squad mate too.

Neither raloi nor Vorcha make much sense. The former are complete newcomers to the interstellar stage, the latter are dumb as bricks. And I also don't see the Batarians coming on board, given that with the 'Giant of Dhis' the most likely have a reaper in their possession, and the Hegemony always thinks of itself, first.
