Mass Effect DLC question

Recommended Posts

Recently, when I go to play Mass Effect, the game tells me there's new downloadable content, but when I go to the Xbox Live Marketplace, all I find are some avatar pictures and theme images. Is that it? I have Bring Down the Sky downloaded, so that can't be it.

 

AFAIK, Bring Down the Sky is the only DLC they have released, and I don't think they will make more DLC. So your assumption about the images and avys is most likely correct.

Joystiq have uploaded an article which contains information regarding a second batch of downloadable content for Mass Effect. Citing a documentary included on the second disc of the Mass Effect Platinum Hits edition, called "The Future of Mass Effect", Joystiq suggests that the second piece of DLC will be "a casino gaming fight club space station" or, in the words of Project Director Casey Hudson, "a fight club or an arena."

So, some sort of mafia-run illegal fight to the death, complete with gambling? Hm, now, where did they get that from?

I'm not all that fussed on an idea's originality, or lack thereof; it's the implementation that matters to me. Virgil stole the plot of his most famous work from Homer and Dickens' earlier stories were just plain awful but that doesn't stop Sikes's murder of Nancy from being one of the most horrifying -- and it *really* is -- scenes in all of literature nor does it prevent the Aeneid from being leagues better than both the Odyssey and the Iliad put together.

 

So long as the design isn't generic, I'm perfectly happy for them to recycle the idea; in fact, I'm positively looking forward to it :).

Mm, point taken. Originality is virtually non-existent in most medias, due to the fact that most plots have already been executed at least once.

You're absolutely correct, execution is critical, although I have a pretty good guess on what the overall outcome is.
