ok so ive just completed this game. which is friggn' awesome by the way.

however ive just finished the main story line but find i am unable to go back and finish the side quests? is that right or am i missing something?

im gonna play through it all again if you cant and finish all the side missions first

but i just wondered if i am missing some way to get back in the game. i have no early saves as i didnt realise this was going to happen.

also i notice you can start a new game with your character who keeps all his weapons and stats, is this just some kind of bonus for completing the game?

I wouldn't bother with the side missions, most of them are rubbish. And yes you can start a new game with your old character and continue levelling.

Most of the side missions are cookie-cut, very repetitive and unsatisfying. Some are alright, can't remember that far back now!

I'd rather get the extra content downloadable instead of doing the side missions

yeah meant to ask about that too. its worth getting then??? how does it work, do you need to have the expansion and start a new game?

Is a fairly good mission but it only takes about an hour or so to do (I played it on launch, might be slightly longer).

I needed to start a new game and then it was on the map screen.

I bought it mid-way through my last play through when it was on offer for 300msp. it just comes up as a kind of extra side mission on your galaxy map.

It was a pretty good mission if i remember rightly. if only all the side missions had a little bit more depth and were a bit more varied like this was
