On this page, 20 posts back, there are two entries and more info about that dlc lol.. learn to look a little 
On another note, i run the 1.02 update and used the 1.01 crack, and the game is running so far no problems, no idea if anything is missing due to diff exe etc, but on show details while installing 1.02, I did not catch any /exe changes.. But I also didnt check the details on the exe after lol before i overwrote again..
My excuse is im tired its 5am.. But can safely say I now have perfect AA no odd fps issues like last time i played using ati card, and fuck me I forgot how good this game is
Tomorrow will be a good day when I play a hell of alot more of it...

I hate M$,
they promote the paid DLC and make it so popular in the consoles market.
now almost every update with some new content for consoles,and now for some PC
games cost money,
if it was DLC in the terms of lost and demands it was ok,but most are not.

Call me nuts, but I still love Mass Effect - and $5 is a steal, IMO. It sure beats Horse Armour, at least! So yeah, I just bought the new DLC (I already own ME-PC legit)
Thanks for the info, guys!

Me too, things are going smoothly for me as well. I installed 1.02 and used the 1.01a trivium crack. Game is solid and the story is outstanding! I just became a Spectre and I am ready to kick some Saren a$$!

Quick question , based on my opinion:
- Gothic 3 was really fun, specially after the updates.
- Oblivion was total shit, couldn't play it for more than 30 minutes.
- Fallout 3 was just as crap.
Should I bother with Mass Effect?

Mass Effect is very heavy on story+dialogue+moral choices, less focus on combat/action.
Do you like other Bioware epics, like KOTOR and Jade Empire ?Then you will like this one. You'll also like it if you want to be a part of an epic space adventure !

I've not come across anyone, yet, that didn't enjoy Mass Effect - so just give it a try, bud! You've nothing to lose but a bit of time -- and you just may well acquire a 25-40hr epic space adventure in the process!
ROLL ON MASS EFFECT 2!!

o/
i thought mass effect was awful
all i saw was a damn boring LINEAR shooter
unless it REALLY expands itself properly later, it's not really much to write home about
to give some weight to all the praise it's getting, i might give it another shot though, some time down the road when i have nothing else and the bitter taste of boring cleans out

Mass Effect is cool when it comes to atmosphere and story, but it fails on several other fronts. Firstly, almost all side missions are boring as hell and done on same, overused maps and schematics of action. When You do it the first time, it's quite ok. The second is acceptable, the third not so much, and from then on, it simply becomes a chore. I could probably name as much as 3, that were actually entertaining, the rest is simply a poorly done filler.
Sure, You can ignore it, but if You do that, then the game becomes a 15h long shooter with an entertaining story and some character advancement, and tbh, Bioshock conquers it on every front, in this regard. WAY to short to be called an RPG.
Second big fail I noticed only when replaying the game, to get a save before the sequel, since i lost my old one. I played as a renegade this time, and i noticed a very troubling thing. You see, in many conversations, it completely doesn't matter which dialog option You choose. There is quite a lot of situations, where his spoken dialog remains the same. Sure, story and some quest choices differ, and like half of the rest is different too, but the other half is simply pretending to let you choose how your character behaves. Not very RPG-like too.
There are some other faults too, like character AI, rather weak character advancement system, and the fact that the story is quite predictable, but they are not such a nuiisance, really.
Still, don't get me wrong, it's a cool enough game, a very good S-F experience and generally,i liked it, even though sometimes i felt like i've had enough. But it's really not too much of an RPG, and honestly, all those praises when the game launched, suggesting that it was better then The Witcher, felt quite funny after i actually played and completed it. I mean, c'mon, it's not even in the same league.
For me, it's the worst Bioware game so far. Which still means it's very good, but it's nowhere close to their real potential.

lolwut? Are you sure you didn't swap the discs with ME and Planescape:Torment?
I passed ME one time and stopped in the mid-playthrough second time because it was so monotonous.
This game is SHOOTER with RPG elements(albeit a big amount of them), nothing more. Sure, there are dialogs, but it's completely IMPOSSIBLE to pass any map (except Citadel, and sometimes even THAT it's impossible) without killing an enemy...
Oh wait, I rememeber ONE QUEST where you could have won without killing anybody, it was a sidequest(I think) where you had rescue a VIP, if you had charisma high enough you could talk the villains to surrendering themselves.
I'd say it's like 60% (very poor tactical) shooter and 40% RPG.
And ME was... ME(h). Bland story, MONOTONY, anyone comparing this to KOTOR or BG or any other BioWare product for that matter should be fucking banned
But to be clear, it's not a BAD game, it's jus overrated IMO.... I'd give it 7/10

When I say it's not focused on the combat I mean that the combat is easy and simple. I think of the ME combat as a nice distraction till the next portion of epicness.
And don't go comparing ME to old superclassics like Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate or whatever, this is a pretty much streamlined, consolish, high budget action adventure. Sometimes it's like an interactive movie, I fucking love it !
Anyway, what's up with the DLC anyway, can I get it without buying it ?

I don't agree with this at all. Bioshock is much more shooter than RPG, and has next to no dialogue (unless you count players talking at you and telling you what to do, half-life style), choices or player customization. And most things you do in that game follow a contrived "do A to get to B to find C" recipe over which you also have no influence.

Seems we have the exact opposite opinions there, I felt The Witcher was pretty cool in its own right, but not really in the same league; especially considering it leans on an already constructed and detailed fantasy universe, while ME introduced its own.
Of course, ME is no BG or BG2, but then again no current game is, and probably won't be until some kind of miraculous gaming revolution happens and contents/story start generating more buzz than graphics and physics systems. I'd place it about equal to KotOR in a pure comparison, but again, a better job was probably done on it considering it brought its own IP along with it rather than taking place in an already made universe.

Nobody will ever convince me that Mass Effect is anything other than spectacular. I bought the 360 version, then I bought the PC version when that came out -- and now I've bought the new DLC, which I'll be playing through later today.
And guess what? I'll buy ME2 when it comes out as well.

I pretty much agree. The things I am disappointed with are more related to BioWare's support of the game, and how very poorly they ended up handling the DLC-packs in comparison to how they let on that they would during the pre-release hyping. They should have taken a lesson from Bethesda in that regard.

Agreed completely on the DLC front. There are so many planets in this game that you can visit, but only for resource collecting or perhaps landing to find medallions/etc ... any one of those could have been enhanced by small DLC or even a full-blown expansion.
That's one thing Bethesda has cornered the market on; frequent, often impressive, DLC (come on, it happened a long time ago - just forget Horse Armour ever existed, kay?)

horse armor/armour either way people., was amusing at the time, looked good though and was free instantly to us freeloaders lol..
I dont see anyone releasing the latest Dlc for ME yet online though, id of thought it be as popular as getting the sims addons out lol.. Obviously not... Ive a long wayyyy to go with ME though so no worries just yet..
My son is playing halo on the xbox right now, and has progressed further and must say its actually looking a rather good game even on the xbox for fun.. Was it anygood on pc? if it was available that is I never did follow that series sort of speak...

I installed my Pinnacle Station the other day, but couldn't play it as my most recent save was - well, no spoilers, but needless to say it was at a "no way back" point in the game. I've finished it, again, now so I'm going to play through and enjoy the new DLC.
As for Halo? Fucking URGHHHH... heh. Overrated console trash (and no, the PC versions were shite)
