She just calls her "mom".

Btw, where can I find Joker in the strips, anyway.

I meant how do you actually get that scene. Still don't know how to trigger the Grunt or Thane scenes either.

I called her on the terminal.

Same thing with Thane.

Grunt's you have to talk with a turian near the Infiltrator and the vorcha talking about multiplayer stuff.

Joker's found at the bar in the Casino.

Speaking of which, I still can't walk by that spot without dancing.

Yes, if you don't mind fanservice and a lot of cheese.

Just from reading about the content in it, I'd say yes. Definitely the beefiest DLC.

Too short! But here's your answer:

If you liked Ashley's comment upon entering Chora's Den, if you enjoyed watching the videos in Lair of the Shadow Broker, if you laughed at drunk Tali, then yes.

If instead you liked how sad Virmire is, if you enjoyed how serious the Collectors kidnapping people was, if you laughed at the renegade option of dealing with the Genophage and Wrex, then no, maybe not so much.

On the contrary, I think I'll love this DLC.

How exactly is the scene with Traynor and EDI out of character, anyway?

And aside from waking up with him Javik is completely in-character for most of the DLC. And even if you don't agree, keep in mind that he's drunk for the sillier half of it.

Traynor does seem to have been pretty . . . ah, vivid in her descriptions of how attractive she found EDI's voice. Seems a bit odd for her. But I guess her phrasing probably was meant to be amusing, even if EDI's voice really did turn her on.

I didn't laugh at the Renegade option but I did take it, so I guess that describes me.

It sorta sucks not having javik since I don't feel like shelling out money for day one DLC but I guess I'll survive.

It's been a year since Day 1. I think you can drop the principle against Day 1 DLC.

Nope. It's still a DLC that should have been included in the game so fuck that. If he ever goes free, I'll pick em up.

I gotta agree. If his reason for not buying it was it should have been a part of a game and it looks like it was deliberately carved out to make a DLC. Buying on launch or later is still rewarding the behaviour. They are still getting money for it.

My wife wanted the DLC so we got it.

Javik is one of the best parts of the entire Mass Effect franchise. It's a shame so many people miss out on him.

I like both styles? Guess I'll pick it up.

I'll put it another way. If you think humor has no place in the series then you are really not going to like this. Otherwise this is kinda like Once More With Feeling. It's a lighter episode to contrast with how serious the third game in particular was.

So I heard that Clone Shepard threatens to kill your love interest and is a Bad Boss to contrast with Shepard, in addition to being a mirror boss. This sounds a lot like what people in this thread suggested Kai Leng be like, complete with being aligned with Cerberus. Except of course the enlightened ones who preferred Kai Leng to be his Deception characterization.

^^ Nah, he was a Cerberus project like Shep but, again, like Shep he isn't with them anymore. Though now that I think of it, he does seem to be what Leng was supposed to be. And I kinda liked how Leng is now.

Another detail I liked; even Glyph become something of a character. It was hilarious how he offered some mercs jobs with the Alliance complete with very generous benefits so long as they stop shooting at him. Doubly so when Liara got him to "attack their morale."[lol]
