Yeah, it's nice to hear that a Spectre will make an appearance, seeing that I regained my Spectre status at the Citadel earlier in ME2.

BioWare have messed up rather badly with the PC release for this one.

They didn't make it available until after it should have been and when everyone (myself included) downloaded it, it didn't even work because they put the wrong thing up. I don't understand how they've managed this since the Xbox version has been available (and not broken) for several hours before the PC version was scheduled for release. Pathetic.

Well that was a fun DLC. :D

Took me over 3-4 hours to complete, probably less if I did it below insanity.

I think the story is spot on with twists and turns with these positives:-

Continued Romance with Liara :wub:
Find out more about the Shadow Broker
See a another Spectre that's not Saren :P
Unique boss battles
Nice scenery
Have a new trophy to your room

Spoiler


The only downside was a small bug which Shepard spoke without moving his mouth. :lol:

The car driving scene was great, not too long and easy to control. The best part of it is the conversation going on,
Shepard "Does this car have any guns?",
Liara "it's a Taxi Shepard",
Shepard "Dammit".

Overall I think this DLC is worth it even if you don't have a relationship with Liara.

I haven't had the time to buy LotSB and Overlord yet, and much less to actually play them, but I'll post my impressions on the weekend at the latest.

Apparently the original file contained just zeroes, but they've fixed that now.

Well, I've got it now and it was awesome.

Some fantastic fights in there. All in all, it rocked!

Got it for the PC and it was probably the best 800 points I've spent on a game related thing since Castle Crashers for the 360. Worked perfectly the first time and was fun and original.

I finished this yesterday and loved it. Liara was probably my least favourite love interest in ME1 but LotSB made me feel quite a lot more fond of her, so I'll definitely carry on the romance into ME3 if possible.
The DLC has a good amount of content and the whole storm ship part was epic. It actually reminded me of the Citadel battle at the end of ME1.
I loved Overlord as well. ME2 definitely has DA beat for DLCs.

Necropost.... I thoroughly enjoyed it too. Like Cal, I loved the battle on the stormship - I really felt like I was up against opposition that meant business. Regetably, this is not so through a lot of ME1 and ME2.
