I played through 1 and 2 back to back once two came out (twice for paragon/renegade) and I was too tired of playing it to pick up the DLC. Sadly unless EA releases it on Steam like the others I’ll never get a chance to play ME3.

I did one before and after Thessia but I can’t quite recall the difference in dialogue. Nice find on the hamster :) You only saved Miranda? You are cool on my book :)

Brooks has a different line about the Illusive Man if you play before the Thessia mission. I just found Shepard’s hamster in the recyling bin out side the Normandy elevator. Click on it a few times for some laughs. Since this is my 8th character to try the DLC it means I didn’t buy the hamster very often:) This Shepard lost her entire squad (except Miranda) attacking the Collector base, but she saved the hamster. Every time I turn to look for Tali I die a little inside.

Well, I really think Shepard lives if you had that hint scene. You only get that if you have a high EMS. Everyone has their own interpretation of the ending and I respect that.

I actually thought of Citadel as a sort of flashback, but it’s a nice sentiment to think it happens in the future.

Even her combat is better. I will say I got a kick out of hanging out with Zaeed at the arcade in the citadel DLC.

I’m one of those people that choose to believe my own version of the ending. After all, the destroy ending supposedly would have killed Shepard too if you believe the god-child, yet that’s the one ending that gives a hint he lives. And if the child was wrong about that…

Might not be canon, but makes me happier. Heck, for the most part I choose to believe the DLC ending is actually taking place a few years after the end of Mass Effect 3. I find it more satisfying to play it as if it’s a reunion rather than an otherwise oddly placed vacation right when things are supposed to be the most tense and urgent.

Not canon, I know, but works for me. :)

My ending used to be Destroy, but I just can’t after seeing how she and Legion have evolved. At the same time, I didn’t want to leave Miranda. I would choose Synthesis or Control. Yeah, synthetics can be rebuilt but I don’t see them as mere machines anymore. They are a race of its own. Miranda isn’t some Bella Swan who will go into a bout of depression just cause she lost her boyfriend.

It’s also worth mentioning how funny Citadel is. EDI’s “it’s the thought that counts” joke still has me laughing when I think about it. I wish there was a way to have memorial services for the other characters that died during the trilogy.

How did you like Mass Effect 3?

@sean

Thanks for pointing out the Extended Cut! Yeah, I would make that my sixth considering how much it and Citadel made me love the third game more. Oh, you mean Arrival? Yeah, that was good too. Essentially, I think every DLC is worth buying… just mentioning ones that I really really love and would play all over again.

1. Lair of the Shadow Broker
2. Citadel
3. Bring Down the Sky
4. Omega
5. Stolen Memory
I’m putting Extended Cut at position 0 since it is more of a patch than DLC. I feel it should be mentioned regardless. I’d forgotten that Stolen Memory was DLC. It feels like an essential part of the game. Awakening receives an honorable mention. It was a nice bridge between ME2 and ME3.
