However...wouldn't that not make sense if you chose to re-write the Geth heretics considering that Legion said that the rewriting process would only take about a day due to FTL communications?

That is unless of course these Geth are not heretics and are fighting you anyways for whatever reason.  We'll see.

Just like if you try to recruit anyone after the suicide mission, the DLC most likely happens before the IFF mission

[kelmar6821]

they only rewrite if they connect to the rest of the collective network, they could be holdouts...

You can recruit people after the suicide mission? Had no idea. Is their dialogue all the same or does Commander Shepard just invite them to the normandy to take a cruise?

It's the same dialogue: let's go stop the Collectors

It's a Pime Taradox.

Yeah: I hadn't realised that the MQ came along and decided without asking politely that you were going to finish it now, before I'd had a chance to recruit one member and do another's loyalty quest.  I did them afterwards and still got the pre-end-of-MQ dialogue, which was a bit weird.  I've seen some speculation that perhaps it should be viewed the same as with Dragon Age where further DLC will be considered to happen before Denerim gets lightly singed, though I'm not really convinced since there's also some inconsistencies when viewing it from that perspective.

You're generally encouaraged to head to the Omega 4 relay and wrap things up once you complete Legion's loyalty quest, unless you want the Normandy crewmates to be microwaved. But if you're a renegade then there's a good chance you didn't rewrite the virus, you simply blew up the station, despite Legion's warning that the other heretics would be pissed. 

Firewalker has prophetic implications, a shaman walking over hot coals and not getting burned, people following him in amazement. It also has hard science implications: when two bodies of extreme temperatures come together, they will slowly begin to equalize unless they are separated.  But there's a trick to walking over hot coals. So Firewalker also has the implications of a fraud, a charlatan, exploiting the old superstitions for personal gain.

So perhaps Firewalker is a new villain, an awesome individual that has somehow managed to manipulate some previously disorganized Geth heretics. It could be connected to Harbinger, or it could be a new AI lifeform, created by Quarian scientists using some of Sovereign's remains that were unaccounted for. The intent was that this creature would claim to be a Reaper creation, and the Geth would revere it as a god. Hence, through it, the quarians could re-enslave the Geth. (Read Ascension) 

Or it could be that the Firewalker might be a Batarian or Lystheni (continuing the track record of DLC introducing new races) that's rallying together various fringe groups with a grudge against humanity, and in one mission some Geth just happen to crash the party.

For those unfamiliar with the Lystheni, they are to the Salarians what the Romulans are to the Vulcans. They hate the council, and are not welcome in Citadel-controlled space.

Perhaps some of the Geth Heretics managed to isolate themselves from the network, in a similiar fashion to how Legion can operate without the network. Maybe it was in response to the re-writing fo the geth.



That, or perhaps it's just intended to take place prior to the suicide mission.

[Amethyst Deceiver]

anything that happens post-endgame is "non-canon" to the story.



in other words all the actions of ME2 were written as if it was supposed to happen before the suicide mission, but the player is given the option not to do so. im assuming the DLC also falls under this

[aksoileau]

I need post game dlc! Luckily I have an insanity game that is still pre suicide mission. It's definately not my main though.

The DLC is called Firewalker, and one of the screenshots is the hammerhead flying over LAVA, and you're digging for a complex  symbolic meaning for the title.  Has it occured to you you might be overthinking things?  ;p

[Selor Kiith]

It just happens before we meet the heretics base etc. simple as that

[Lightice_av]

The Heretics may be gone before you start this mission, depending on at what point you do Legion's loyalty mission. But the geth aren't perfectly unified or problem-free. It's possible that the ones you see in this vid were somehow isolated from all outside signals, and haven't been freed from the Reaper influence - among many other possibilities.
