I really need to play the other DLC

Can't seem to get round to it.

I guess 560 points isnt so bad for the xbox version.

Its really good, you should! Thought the graphics and setting were pretty cool in the secnd half of it.

You guys should definitely complete shadow broker. Its an example of how dlc should be done.

Fantastic. Thought I was done with the story...great to hear there's more!

ME2 is fantastic - and I don't usually like those sort of games.

Can't wait for it!
There's some rumours that a trailer might be announced today

You really really should, probably the best DLC i've ever had for a game. Really adds to the storyline.

Totally agree, excellent add on well worth your time

RAGE!

This is coming out and I just realized last night I forgot to save my ME2 saves before I formatted my PC hard drive before my upgrade!

Nice

Still need to get around to playing the other ones.

Noxia · 22 Mar 2011 at 12:52

Still need to finish the main story. Can't find the motivation to do so.

Hoorah! Admiral Hackett was missed in Mass Effect 2. And this should mean an "ultimate edition" release of Mass Effect 2 with all the DLC bundled together.

DAIR · 24 Mar 2011 at 12:20

Cant wait.... Finished the main story a month or so ago!

Have been slack on the DLCs, so played through Overlord and Kasumi last night (playthrough 2) and will be doing LotSB soon.

Thing is, if I want to carry my character over to ME3, will I have to finish the whole of playthrough 2 first?

Yes but you will also have option of importing your first playthrough character.

You can carry over your 1st character, but I'd recommend finishing your 2nd playthrough and finishing all the DLC, as I would hazard a guess that some of it will be referenced in ME3.

I've already finished it twice myself, and will be doing a 3rd playthrough at some point before ME3 comes out, as well as another ME1 playthrough too.

Biggest problem is that I can't remember some of the choices I made in the first playthrough, and want them to be the same for my imported character.

EDIT - or I could load my pre-final mission save, redo the DLC, then just use my PT1 character? Seems like less effort.
