![]() Through it, Shepard received some very powerful allies, but they never actually showed up in the final battle. I was both very impressed and very disappointed with the outcome of this mission. But in the DLC Leviathan, I surely found out. What were the Reapers before they were the Reapers? Again, a question that never once crossed my mind. Javik caught in a moment of exasperation, of which he had many. With what he’d been through, you really couldn’t blame him, honestly. Once he joined the crew, he was a constant squadmate, one who offered warmongering views on pretty much anything and everything concerning the Reapers. It was heartbreaking talking to Javik, a character out of time, the last of his kind. It was awesome learning about the Protheans and the battle with the Reapers in their galactic cycle. As I just spoiled, it, From Ashes took Shepard back to the human colony of Eden Prime to retrieve a Prothean artifact, which turned out to be an actual Prothean. If I had good times with new friends Zaeed and Kasumi in Mass Effect 2, I absolutely doted over the Prothean Javik in the third game. I recall the basics of what went down, and a choice was made that further split Shepard from the Batarian race, but many of the actual details of the mission are fuzzy. So, I guess Arrival answered questions I never new I had? While I intend to play through some DLC again, this is the one that’s a must, because, as the mission has s time limit (of sorts), I really rushed through it and ended up accidentally skipping over some dialogue. Much like with never thinking about the Normandy after it crashed at the start of ME2, I never really considered the possible events between the second and third games. It’s a weird shot, but still, this trio means business. ![]() Other than that, this mission answered a lot of questions, allowed me to spend more time with Liara that I ever had before (never completed her romance though I did complete Kaiden’s this time, finally!), and provided so much lore that I never knew before. My only complaint is that I didn’t have that great a time navigating the exterior of the Shadow Broker’s ship, even though the visuals were pretty astounding. So that’s how Liara became the Shadow Broker! Of all the available DLC, this was the one to which I was looking forward to most, and it paid off in droves. Here’s the last half of the DLC list with my thoughts in tow, following by my own ranking of them. While the DLC varied greatly in content, some of these extra experiences helped fill in a number of plot gaps, which I always knew existed but never dwelled upon, while others took Shepard on grandiose, new adventures. You can check out part one, but, in sum: I recently completed my first playthrough of the remaster, which while awesome, was made totally awesome thanks to its DLC, all of which was new to me. Thanks for coming back for part two of my thoughts on the Mass Effect Legendary Edition‘s DLC.
