Having good fun so far even if the plot is kind of laughable. Just had
Edi's eyes go screwy in the dropship as the other Shepard tries to take the Normandy, the look Joker and Shepard give her and each other is hilarious.

Gah, i'm up to the casino part and i can't decide if i wanna pick Liara since she is my LI, or pick Wrex because... Wrex. Does Liara says anything special if she is your LI during that part?

Going to spoiler this to be safe. No plot details, just general info - not just about Miranda, but what to expect from all old cast members in a vague way.

- All your squad members that are alive and around whenever you do these string of missions appear throughout. There's a party scene that brings everyone together, so you get to see evreybody interacting.
- After it's over you can 'invite people over' and share private scenes with them - as a friend or otherwise - so you can spend private time with Miranda as a friend or a lover.
- There's sections where you can use old friend as squad mates.
- At the end you unlock a combat simulator. It lets you battle the enemies from multiplayer, including the Collectors, at different difficulties. The entire ME2 cast (save Thane and Legion, who will both be dead by this point) and Wrex are usable in here as squad mates whenever you like, in any combination. Their skill trees are all-new for ME3, redesigned, but are based off their skill sets in previous games. You can have a Wrex and Grunt team, for instance, despite neither being proper squad mates in this game.

The last point in particular is, I think, pretty awesome. The final mission of the game should've been like that.

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll give it a shot after all.

Wrex is amazing for that part. Awesome DLC, cool set piecies, decent story yet amazing character moments.

Indeed he is. Just look at him. So happy in his suit.

Edit : oooh the Quasar minigame from ME1 is back.

Edit 2 : Oh my... dancing Wrex.
 
Easily one of the best DLCs. Took the light-hearted route, plus you get to see the old gang back as a cohesive unit.

DLC spoilers:
Also Liara
can play the piano, best waifu confirmed

Really looking forward to picking this up later on. This is a pretty neat looking way to send off the trilogy.
 
So I haven't bought ANY of the DLC for this game after beating it when it first came out. I'm not in the crowd that think the game is horrible (though I did not like how it ended), but it DID feel like the game ended. But hearing that this is the last DLC for the game, maybe I should go back and do a re-play. Any DLC that I could skip out on? I've heard Omega isnt' really needed in any capacity.

I'd say skip everything and just get this if you want some kind of conclusion and farewell.

What the fuck man, regarding Ashley and Vega.

They're trying to hook up man, shes supposed to be with me. Its even asking me to support the hook up lmao.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So it's clear that instead of going hur derp super serious like most of the series, they're just having fun character moments with the best narrative moments the series is known for. Fitting for a sendoff.

Played for about an hour. WREX FTW!! Very exciting expansion. I'm excited and sad at the same time; this is the last bit of Mass Effect for a long time after all.
 
This is fucking creepy. This is in the archives part with the "Krogan attacking the Council" history part.

It is supposed to be a Salarian but the head is bugged as hell.

Unless there is some lore I don't know about where Salarians had Rachni eyes and Vorcha teeth in the past.

This would of been fantastic post campaign story dlc, feels weird doing it mid story.

Just finished it, really enjoyed it. Very funny in places and but god damn Ashley. Well time to finish up ME3 again and then start from scratch.
 
Did some of the party scenes. The squadmates hanging out and having fun with each other is the highlight of the DLC. Awesome sendoff.

Lol, i love Shepard's reaction to the "I Should go." line, while they're stuck in some vault. Like she doesn't have more important things to worry about.

This DLC is funny. I hope they continue like that in the future.

Man fighting against
Clone Shepard made me realize how annoying it is to fight against a vanguard. I almost feel bad for all the enemies I've been fighting through out the game.

Also some needs to make a gif of
Traynor holding up her toothbrush
 
Decided to get it. Just slowly taking in the sights listening to the audio notes lying around the huge apartment area. Jumped in with my Infiltrator/"Renegon"/Jack LI file but likely to save and switch to experience the whole of it first with my Vanguard/Paragon/Tali LI Shep. Enthused about teaming up with ME1 favorite squad-mate Wrex.

Add: stuck with what I started, got into first firefight and have encountered the sense of humor and decidedly new environments I've been hearing about. A very good start.

Damnit, all these posts are making me want to play this DLC ASAP.
But first i need to finish ME1. And 2. 100% playthroughs each. Because i need a proper Renegade Shepard, i've forgotten which of my saves (i have a lot of saves) was pure Renegade with Wrex alive...
And then i need to get the MSPs (for all ME3 story DLC, and for some other thigns) i ordered... well, that's probably the quickest part, should arrive in a couple of days.

HAHA, did anyone notice Glyph's "attire" for the party?

I did! I was wondering what he was going to change into when he said he would put on a new attire...

That said, for me, this is the best DLC for this game. It's all kinds of cheesy, but it's good cheesy, I guess.
Everything from the evil Clone and predictable betrayal
, it was still great to see all these characters we cared about all together. Really climatic, though, I enjoyed every second of it.

And kudos to whomever at Bioware thought about attempting a
SamaraxZaeed
. Lots of fun conversations at the party.

It's a little sad that this is the last bit of Mass Effect 3, but they went off on a high note, I think. Found myself just having fun and grinning like an idiot. I so badly want to jump back on with Bioware again, but we'll see. Overall, amazing DLC, especially after the lackluster Omega. I hope they release the soundtrack, too.

I LOVED finding Grunt (party spoilers)
passed out in the shower, mumbling shit like "Salarians have wiggly arms" and "It was broken when I got here"
.

They really did a fantastic job on the dialogue.

Photo at the end got me all kinds of sentimental :( They really did leave it on a high note

Garrus romance dialogue:

I hung out in a lot of places last night - your upper body, your lower body, everywhere in between *.*

There is even a recording from
Mordin left behind singing, so sad :(

HAHA and you get to investigate the "aftermath". So funny, everyone is struggling

Cool. Unlike all of you jaded ex-ME fans. I'm looking forward to play all the ME3 DLC on my 2nd playthrough.

The party was great. The writing team really came through and it shows. Even Javik was getting lively! It was funny going from "Quiet"=everyone thinking it's boring to
"Dance", and suddenly it's the best party on the Citadel. Fun to watch these guys interact with each other a lot, especially
Kasumi! Her popping up during the "abs convo" with Jacob was great, second would be the underwear scene.

And using all of your squadmates in the AAA combat training was the cherry on top. Great to use
Jack and Samara again.

Also, one more thing about the main combat story,
at the end, when it's you and your clone hanging over the edge, and your team helps you while Ms.Backstabs watches, did anyone else think of "The Mummy Returns"? Or was that just me?

That bit, by the way with
Mordin, hurt, though. Same with Thane. I wish we could've communicated more.

Cool. Unlike all of you jaded ex-ME fans. I'm looking forward to play all the ME3 DLC on my 2nd playthrough.
Me, too! Gotta go through it with my default lookin' Femshep, and make some different choices along the way.

Today, I went out and bought Tomb Raider with the intention of playing it, instead I got pulled back in, willingly, into this world we love so much.

I'm so ANNOYED that my game glitched, so
the Kasumi quest wasn't done properly in my playthrough and thus she is counted as "dead" even though she is alive

Yeah, a really cool inclusion. Especially the Mirror Match.

I haven't found anything from the latter yet, did I miss it? :(

EDIT:

EDI:
Some neighbours came by to complain about the noise last night - I put them in the building incinerator

fweiuhnfwonfwe I cackled.

NO! I would be pissed. One of my favorite characters right there. I feel for you.

No, actually, not the Mirror Match! Never the Mirror Match!

Hmm.
You did Koylat's funeral, right? If so, you should be able to watch his messages on the big TV downstairs.

I asked the TV aloud, "Is that a joke?" Then got the appropriate response. =)

Hmm. I missed it. I swear I searched everything too. Weird.

I'm glad I got a final scene with
Garrus. Very heartfelt. I don't know why I love him so much as a character.

Maybe it had to be done in the moment?

Yes,
the bar scene with Garrus was awesome. It's funny to see him talk very serious and realistically about the war, but get him to talk to a woman and he doesn't know a thing. Awesome stuff.

And seriously
Zaeed? The claw machine was that hard? I got a new music track from that with ease!

I just reached the party, and I'm stopping for a bit to feed myself, but I gotta say that this DLC is absurd and amazing so far.

Firstly, I really love being able to see new areas of the Citadel, and its a treat that all of the areas so far are so visually interesting and distinct. The new girl is cute, too.

OMG I am SCREAMING at that scene between Traynor and the Asari following the party.

So dramatic and over the top. Crazy stuff.

There's several hours of stuff to do AFTER the main quest, and I am surprised at how well done it is.

When Shepard says "KICK HER ASS" and the camera dramatically zooms in.

And Shepard
dishing out the Asari shade - HAVE THE ASARI EVER EVEN WON A WAR?

Lol, i was just going to post about it. The stupid zoom in on their eyes when they first see each other was so stupid.
