Mass Effect 3 is generally a pretty serious game, dealing with a galactic-level extinction event and the destruction of all known life. It may be too silly for some fans, however.
Characters offer up quips more often here and every scene feels like it's done with a nod and a wink to the fans. Even the main plot mission, involving the theft of the Normandy by an unexpectedly familiar evil-doer, is carried off with tongue firmly in cheek. The DLC's tone is light throughout, and every single main crew member from all three Mass Effect games gets at least a few minutes in the spotlight. What I found to be the most important part of the "Extended Cut" DLC, though, was the extra battlefield scene just before the final showdown, wherein Shepard is given one last moment to say goodbye to whichever crewperson he or she had formed a romantic relationship with. It drew praise for its strong story and powerful emotional beats, but at the same time there was the issue of that ending-it was an amazing 30-hour-plus journey capped off with what many felt was 15 minutes of hand-waving and three bad (and essentially identical) choices.īioware padded things out a bit with the "Extended Cut" DLC in June, adding more details to the ending, including a fourth dialog option that explicitly rejected the original three endgame choices, a response to many fans' claims that their Shepard would have told the ending's deus ex machina to go get stuffed. When Mass Effect 3 was released a bit over a year ago, the reviews were mixed.
Instead, the DLC quite literally lets the crew of the Normandy get boozed up and partied out.and it's great. What makes it different isn't just that it includes participation from every major Mass Effect crew character and voice actor-though that's a welcome change from some past Mass Effect DLC packs-but that the focus of the package isn't really on tossing Shepard and crew into another combat arena. Mass Effect 3 has had several downloadable content packages released which expand on some aspects of the single-player game, including most recently the " Omega" package, but this week Bioware let loose rather a different single-player pack: the " Citadel" DLC. (We'll keep the spoilers to a minimum in this report, both for Mass Effect 3 in general and the "Citadel" DLC specifically, but the YouTube videos I link to do contain complete scenes from the DLC.
