I did have one plot inconsistency, though. They tell me I have to go to trial for what I did to the Batarians, but I was reinstated as a Spectre, so I don't operate within Alliance law. So the Batarians can hate me, but it had nothing to do with the Alliance. I was in a Cerebus ship working as a Spectre.

This is the reason why I loved this DLC so much.

Spoiler

This is the reason I think admiral is a shady guy.... He is suppose to be from the alliance buts always want you to do jobs under the table... If you noticed how he stressed how he was so close to the Dr. and how it needed to be done solo, just to find out she is has a dirty little sercet in her base... Remember they had Shepard running test on him.. What will be the side effect to that in ME3? Admiral is a dirty SOB and has been since ME1

Didn't think about it like that. That's a good point. I hope he isn't working with the Reapers or something. That would suck. It would be quite crazy if it turns out that being with Cerebus is the smart choice.

Did you by chance see the cutscene on Youtube if you let the clock go down to zero? It does quick flashes of the Reapers destroying everything, but within the cut scene has all of your crew standing there, including The Illusive Man.

WOW... No, I have not.. I still have my rogue play-through to do the complete opposite interaction with everyone on the DLC. Cant wait to see what could of happen with just a different click of the thumb stick. damn, I love this game.

Thinking more about it - I wonder if Shep goes to prison at the beginning of the game which would push forward the "reset" of stats and not having all of your crew members.

.

It'd be sort of a weird beginning to ME3 and people who didn't pay Arrival would be super confused - but it might work.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I am not so sure they will reset the stats. Mass Effect you could level up to 60 whereas ME2 just 30 which always struck me as odd. I have thought maybe you will be able to level up Shepard 31-60 in ME3. It could make sense since fighting Reapers would require a more powerful Shepard.

Downloading right now, very excited. See that some of you are saying it was short but excited anyway.

Re: Mass Effect 2

It was kind of short, but still worth it just to get more backstory on the reaper invasion. HAs me even more hyped.

Despite the length it's a very good dlc.

One thing I don't get about it though

Spoiler

What about the people who don't get the dlc? If they purchase ME 3 will the game assume you destroyed the relay?

Sent from me, duh.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Honestly, the more I think about it the more I think ME3 is going to start off with Shep on trial. It will be your "recap" story, plus let you maybe "decide" who you are working with when they are asking you questions on trial. Then it'll go all "Ghostbusters" and they will tell Shep to get the band back together and kick some Reaper *** when the **** hits the fan.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Just finished it, loved it. Best ME DLC so far IMO.

I honestly can't wait for this trial.

And I agree, the relay will be destroyed no matter what since it wasn't really a choice.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I am going to go on an MS Points binge and buy some of the DLC for this game. I am downloading Shadow Broker, so other than that what do you all think is must have DLC for this game? Weapon packs included because I want some new guns for my definitive playthrough.

Really they are all pretty good however for me it goes:

Shadow Broker>Arrival>Kasume and Overlord

Kasume gives an extra ally while Overlord is a different feel. Basically in the New Mako the whole time.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Overlord is actually my favorite, which is weird since it doesn't tie into the main story at all or add an extra ally. I just really liked the side story that one had and some parts of that DLC had some new combat scenarios which gave it a fresh feeling.

Shadow Broker is still awesome though for all that info you get after you beat it.
