AP rounds are amazing. Only got to use them once so far but they're so lethal! I'm liking how upgraded my shotgun is. It's like a Scimitar IX with a 22.5% damage boost and a 40% accuracy boost. I love getting equipment to make my powers or my shotgun stronger, at the moment I just have all these sniper equipment mods piling up.

He is not even story relevant. [/QUOTE] Oh. So it may as well not even be spoiler to mention him any more, since they made it pretty clear he's in the game.

I personally think i would have preferred it if the Protheans maintained their background personality, maybe even after Mass Effect 3, I believe it makes them fascinating due to knowing so little about them in terms of how they lived and general appearance.[/SP]

So much for my attempts at not being further spoiled after the whole "douche who spoiled the entire leaked script in GGD" thing a few months back.

My god, Tom, why the hell would you just post that right out there? Spoiler tag that. [editline]21st February 2012[/editline] this would have worked better if my automerge wasn't broken
@Tom083: The leaked script implies no real backstory and relevance to the [sp]Prothean[/sp] squadmate at all.

[QUOTE=mercurius;34808158]@Tom083: The leaked script implies no real backstory and relevance to the [sp]Prothean[/sp] squadmate at all.[/QUOTE] As if I expected it. By now the standard when waiting a modern game should be expect nothing.
[QUOTE=mercurius;34808158]The leaked script implies no real backstory and relevance to the [sp]Prothean[/sp] squadmate at all.[/QUOTE] Still, it's the type of thing I'd rather be surprised for. When Halo 3 came out, I knew pretty much the entire course of the game because of leaks. Mass Effect 2, well, the trailers allowed us to fill in some gaps when we actually started playing it. I was just hoping to avoid having some pretty awesome elements of the story, regardless of their importance, spoiled.
[QUOTE=mercurius;34808158]@Tom083: The leaked script implies no real backstory and relevance to the [sp]Prothean[/sp] squadmate at all.[/QUOTE] I havent seen the Leaked Script, im just hoping they know how to pull it off.

[QUOTE=Tom083;34808200]I havent seen the Leaked Script, im just hoping they know how to pull it off.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, the core game is good. To be honest I do believe all day-1-DLC will suck, but in the end they will manage to pull something LotSB-style off again. I have not much faith in the weapon DLC, the Mattock for ME2 was only so great because it's ridiculously overpowered. Can't say anything about the new weapons since they are not all in the demo, obviously.

Also, does the leaked script actually cover this DLC or was the leak before they thought of making the DLC, i don't want to know anything specific, just wondering was the DLC planned that early

To be honest if I was the Reapers I would have been very afraid of the Protheans, they managed to nearly fully understand my mass relay tech and nearly fucked up my next invasion. I would be keeping some to study after that, I want to know what was so special about them.[/sp]

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;34807466]What was wrong with it? I didn't notice anything really bad about it.[/QUOTE] It's okay the first time but annoying every other time you do it. It just drags on and on and on
[QUOTE=Arvuti;34808230]Stop whining, he is a DLC character, you would know that he is in the game because you would need to download and install the DLC.[/QUOTE] Wait, DLC as in Kasumi/Zaeed? Huh, wonder how they're going to swing that ones. Seems like the type of thing that would be included in the main game.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34808346]Wait, DLC as in Kasumi/Zaeed? Huh, wonder how they're going to swing that ones. Seems like the type of thing that would be included in the main game.[/QUOTE] Yes, thats what the DLC will be, like Kasumi or Zaeed, and will most likely have something to do with [SP]How he actually survived the reaper invasion (If he actually did) and what exactly happened[/SP]
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34808346]Wait, DLC as in Kasumi/Zaeed? Huh, wonder how they're going to swing that ones. Seems like the type of thing that would be included in the main game.[/QUOTE] Notice how you have to pay 800 microsoft points for it, the only way to get that character is to buy the DLC and then it's not really spoilers anymore.
[QUOTE=krakadict;34808140]turret does fuck all IMO expected the one the enemy have[/QUOTE] I'm just happy I got a new char.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34808346]Wait, DLC as in Kasumi/Zaeed? Huh, wonder how they're going to swing that ones. Seems like the type of thing that would be included in the main game.[/QUOTE] To me, it seems fairly obvious that this was 'removed' from the main game for financial purposes.

That's why it is widely frowned upon to do so as game company. That's the point it's in the leaked script because they probably separated the content from the core game on purpose. Remember the locked off areas on the Normandy? Some people still don't have access to the bar since they didn't bought the Kasumi DLC.

Also i dont even have the Cerberus Network so i dont have access to where ever it is Zaeed rests.

My understanding is that some of her loyalty mission -was- being worked on post-launch. I would imagine they were relatively late additions to the game, due to their lack of a recruitment mission. Although a mercenary and a thief for hire are a far cry from a goddamn Prothean. If I'm being honest, Day-1 DLC just comes off as an insult to players. EDIT: Also, I can't look at the guy any more without thinking of Rastamouse. [img]http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01824/rastaSUM_1824733c.jpg[/img]
They better have put a lot of effort into that character's story, despite what other things have been said about.
I have an incredibly strong feeling Casey Hudson or anyone else who is involved in this game to a major extent will be doing this on release day: [video=youtube;ON-7v4qnHP8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON-7v4qnHP8[/video]

BW wasn't even allowed to decide the demo release date, they were as clueless as we were.
hate it or love it the dlc model won't go away as long as it makes money (it makes money)
[QUOTE=mercurius;34808680]I don't thinks so, when it comes to business EA's pimp hand is strong. BW wasn't even allowed to decide the demo release date, they were as clueless as we were.[/QUOTE] Im still wondering, did EA buy Bioware from Microsoft or did something else happen?
Apparently [sp]The prothean was in stasis for god-knows-how-many-years[/sp]
