While all eyes are on Bioware’s upcoming Dragon Age sequel, Dreadwolf, industry insiders have heard rumors that Mass Effect 4 (or 5) won’t be open world.

    Did the original trilogy even do that?

    The first game ran like shit and suffered from a crappy PC port. The second game had day one DLC with that Cerberus Pack thing. And the last game had the DLC baked onto the disk.

    Love me some Mass Effect, but none of these games did what you are describing.

      Not to mention the additional crew members.

      And the last game had the DLC baked onto the disk.

      And really needed the free Extended Cut DLC to make a halfway decent ending…and the Citadel DLC to have a proper send-off to the cast…and fucking Javik.

      ME has done a whole lot really well, but “finished on release” is nowhere on that list.

        Crew members, skins, additional weapons and missions… just too much DLC to call that complete on release.

        Do you remember having to log on each play session to allow the game to check if the DLC was valid, and if it failed you just didn’t get the content you paid for; The good ole days.
