That reminds me, why is concept art usually superior to the final product? I guess sometimes it's practical reasons but often I'll look at early designs of stuff and think "why didn't they stick with that"?

Probably both the time and money that would have to go into it. It's better for the company to not follow the concept art to the letter But still, Concept art is often beautiful so it would be cool if it was possible to take concept art and port it straight into a game
Wow, I get the Arrival mission right after completing Horizon. You'd think they'd have made it so that it'd wait until you completed the main game like it logically should, but instead they just toss it in right in the middle of the game... It kinda ruins the moment, because when I got the cutscene that gives you the mission, I almost thought I would have to start it right away. Thankfully, though, I still had the option to let it wait. Next time, though, I'm uninstalling that DLC and will wait until I beat the game again before reinstalling.

Messed up my save. :smith:
Only premium content I bought was Shadow Broker, what's the general opinion on what to get next?
[QUOTE=quinaking;29793194]Only premium content I bought was Shadow Broker, what's the general opinion on what to get next?[/QUOTE] Overlord is one that is overlooked quite a bit, i'm not sure why. I loved it, the story was powerful and the music was stunning. People don't give it a chance because it builds off the Firewalker DLC, which was less than stunning. But once you get into the story Overlord is fantastic. Arrival isn't bad. It wasn't as powerful or long as LotSB or Overlord, but I liked the way it lead you into ME3. Plus seeing [sp]Admiral Hackett[/sp] was cool too.
I wish they would just release the DLC on Steam, it's so hard to find it on their website.

[QUOTE=Wiggles;29793384][url]http://social.bioware.com/page/me2-dlc[/url][/QUOTE] Thanks, I'll be picking up Overlord and maybe Arrival later today.
Overlord reminds me highly of System Shock (well the ai part)
Should I buy another 1600 points and buy Overlord, Kasumi and Arrival?
Yes
I find it funny how Jack talks about Omega as if she's just discovered it and likes what she sees, yet she has a giant Omgea tattooed on her back. Like someone put it there while she was out and she has no idea.
Okay fellas, I had 100% achievements for ME2 before Arrival came out (bastards)...is it worth the money to get it? How's the story play out compared to the other DLC?

But i liked Arrival. it was fun and it was a good set up for ME3

You're also alone for pretty much the whole thing, so it's pretty challenging.
Earlier this week beside other DLCs I bought the Appearance packs. Some are pretty cool but what where they thinking when they came up with Thane's new outfit. I can't help it but I think he wouldn't wear sunglasses, piercings plus the red and black color scheme looks terrible, in my opinion. Also just about now I noticed Jack is scarred as fuck. Makes you understand why she would get so many tattoos.

So, I now have every single squad member except Legion, found out the secret about the Collectors, and I've completed Miranda and Jack's loyalty missions. I sided with Jack in the bitchfight...should I go ahead and romance her, or no?

I'd take Wrex over Tali any day!

It was kind of expected that Wrex wouldn't be a squaddie. Don't know why people would hold out hopes for that.
