beanmachine43 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I thought the DLC was after the trilogy was out? I'm going to be really pissed if that happens to be the case. At least put in some major city/planet with a handful of new quests, like TEoS said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

original gangster Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Okay, I just completed it. Went through with finishing off those last assignments as well, which were thankfully a bit more interesting than the past few I'd been doing. I don't see why some people didn't like the ending. It finishes this story off and leads into the next game nicely, I thought. And the storyline was amazing - there was some really tough choices to make throughout it. I doubt that's true about the DLC thing. Surely they wouldn't leave it until after the trilogy to release content... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanmachine43 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Just out of curiousity, does anybody know of a site/Wiki that has all available info of the planets, races, weapons, history, etc. of the game? I'd like to read up on everything, but none of my current saves has everything unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Deuce Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Heh. I decided to restart. The story all seems more straight-forward now. This time though, I'm planning on doing the side quests as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G MONEY $$$ Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just finished this game and I thought it was f*cking amazing. Am I the only one who thought it was really THAT good. I mean I definitely thought it was game of the year...hell, maybe even game of the last THREE+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanmachine43 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Man those Batarians are ugly. They look tougher than what the novel described. I wonder if they'll be added to other places like the Citadel, but I doubt that since they tend to keep to themselves out in the Skyllian Verge (I sound nerdy, and I like it). I agree it should've been a more serious contender for GOTY, just as good as BioShock and CoD4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Is the DLC to take place after the main storyline of the game is completed? If I'm only partially done could I download it and still play that mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEoS Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It'd have to. Once you beat the game you start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G MONEY $$$ Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It'd have to. Once you beat the game you start over. Yeah that's one thing I was a bit disappointed about...because I deliberately left some of the side missions so I could do them later...but I wasn't able to.

lt_yao Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm doing the game all over again, this time I'm going to do 100% Too bad there's no multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronmar The Only Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Buying this today, any tips for a new player? Go and do the mission on the Moon as soon as you can. Also, if you wish to get the achievements, your party members have to be with you the entire time of the game basically (even through all the side quest) to get those achievements.

pizza guy Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 About this DLC, if you go to http://www.computerandvideogames.com They're saying that it's a side mission that's done as you explore, so it requires another playthrough of the game.

Kewfmwpj Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 This game is amazing, you feel as if you really are Shepard. Especially on Virmere (sp.) when deciding about wrex now that was badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G MONEY $$$ Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm on my second playthrough. I was wondering though, I switched my difficulty to Veteran at the very beginning of the game when I started. I'm playing with my original character. Will I unlock Hardcore difficulty? Or do I have to start a completely new game on Veteran to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
original gangster Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If you've completed the game once on normal, you've already unlocked Hardcore difficulty; No need to go through on veteran if you've already done normal. Or did you go through first on casual? In that case, you should be alright as long as you changed the difficulty as soon as you could. On a related note: If you change the difficulty to hardcore right at the start with a completed character, you can keep going and still unlock the achievement and Insanity difficulty. However you must make a new character for insanity if you want the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G MONEY $$$ Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hmm, I guess I went through the first time on Casual. That's strange. I thought I selected normal. Oh well. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G MONEY $$$ Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Sorry to double-post but I wanted to bump this since the DLC is coming out in about 5 hours. Anybody gonna be grabbing this? I think this is the first DLC I've bought for a game. Can't wait to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Looks like I'll have to buy some damned points now. From a dev: The Bring Down the Sky downloadable content pack will be released to Xbox LIVE Marketplace on Monday, March 10 at 2 a.m. PST, and will be available for 400 MS points.

outcest Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Are there any cool futuristic cities in this game? Like Taris, Telos, Nar Shadaa, Coruscant, that sorta stuff? the Citadel, the main hub for the game, essentially serves as what you're asking for. Extremely high-tech structure with lots of visual goodies...like Citadel Station in KOTOR2 on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
