The writers dealt with this problem by taking an absolutely different road, moving away from the main plotline and creating a snippet filled with action and comedy relief, which seemed like an entirely different genre from the mostly serious and filled with dark undertones Mass Effect 3 game.īecause of this solution, the downloadable content didn’t affect the overall story nor the endings of Mass Effect 3 at all (the only thing you got from it was a miserable amount of EMS points, way less than in any other DLC available for the game). ![]() Even though this time not one or two, but eight writers worked on the story, it didn’t seem possible. I had not the slightest idea what else it was possible to add, since every important detail of the Mass Effect world and Shepard’s life had been already described. I also have to admit that I was really skeptical about the DLC after finding out that the action was taking place not after the ending of the game, as I really hoped, but in the middle of it. But despite how far the fandom took this guessing game, the reveal of the antagonist honestly left me with a dropped jaw. Of course, the very last DLC for the game started with a more serious plot where, while on an unexpected but well-deserved shore leave, the entire crew of the Normandy discovered that Commander Shepard had obtained a mysterious enemy who has not only tried to eliminate the commander, but steal his/her entire life.Īfter seeing the trailer for the DLC, there were many rumors and guesses of who the big bad could be this time. If someone would have told me a story about Commander Shepard obtaining his or her apartment and throwing a party for every friend, about everyone at this party getting drunk, about Garrus and Zaeed joining forces in attempt to set booby-traps all over the place just because they thought someone could assault them any moment, about absolutely smashed Tali trying to imitate the sounds of the Normandy engines while barely standing on her feet, with Grunt and Wrex trying to start a fight on the second floor, and about Shepard waking up the next morning in the embrace of his or her lover thinking about having a good morning sex but then discovering Javik on the floor of their bathroom with a terrible hangover, I would have probably started to think that it was a plot of a classical fanfiction.īut, no matter how unreal it might sound for anyone who ever played the Mass Effect series, it was exactly what most of the Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC, which came out March 5th, was about. ![]() Note: the review does not contain spoilers beyond what you could see in the trailer.
