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.

Sounds like a good idea

That's what I did for ME1 before moving on to ME2.

There's a 22 minute gameplay on Giantbomb

It contains the first scene, so spoilers! Arrival Gameplay

Can't wait for it now

Edit: Looks like the videos been taken down

How does the ME2 DLC work? Just extra planets/galaxies to visit?

They appear as quests on the galaxy map. We've not left the Milky Way in Mass Effect yet.

Bah knew I was wrong somehow

Cheers - playthrough 2 it is then

You can play the DLC after you finish the main storyline, or are you just planning on playing it again anyway?

alone?
might be interesting i suppose, but it's all about the characters!!
worst thing about the dlc's so far has been the lack of party integration into them.

Not been impressed with any of the dlc for it so far. It consider t one of my favourite games ever, but have been disapointed with dlc, especially Cerberus. LOTSB wasn't bad.

I was hoping for something a bit more substantial tbh. when they said the dlc would bridge the gap between 2+3, i was hoping for something like awakenings for DAO, but at 560 points, it's not going to be longer than 2 hours

Cheers for the heads up. Definitely looking forward to it.

I only got to level 23 or something so a second run to hit 30 sounds just right

Also I got 2 people killed in the final mission

Anyone have any idea when this will be up tomorrow? Does microsoft make dlc available at a specific time or is it random?

Generally by 11am things start to appear.

Just finished Lair of the Shadow Broker, just wonderful

If Liara isn't a big part of Mass Effect 3 then it's an instant -10% for me. Was the only thing I disliked about 2

Needs more Wrex too!

Doubt any old characters will get big pieces in ME3 because they could all be dead from a ME2 playthrough. Doubly so with Wrex as he could have been killed in ME1!

No way Liara could be dead is there?

No, I'm sure they'll have her back. You do have a chance to rekindle your love affair with her in ME3 depending on whether you bedded someone else in ME2 or stayed faithful.

Or am I getting confused with Lair of the Shadow Broker?

Probably. Still hoping there will be at least a bit of a reference to Wrex in the 3rd though.

No. The whole point of Lair of The Shadow Broker, was to set Liara up as the Shadow Broker for the 3rd game

It's out by the way!

Have a quick play before I head off to work
