So, I read a cool piece of news about Mass Effect 2 DLC today:
One of the most glaringly dangling plot threads from BioWare's epic space opera Mass Effect 2 was the issue of Shepard's (potentially) old flame Liara T'soni and her war against the elusive Shadow Broker. The good doctor had changed a great deal since the conclusion of the first game, and the mysterious information broker she sought was clearly a dangerous foe. Fans were left wondering when they would receive answers to the questions left behind by this side story. That time, it seems, is now.
After a few middling pieces of downloadable content, now it seems BioWare is prepared to bring out the big guns and fill in these holes. In "The Lair of the Shadow Broker", Shepard and his crew team up with Liara and confront the Shadow Broker himself. Information on what this great confrontation may entail is scarce, but odds are good it will involve Liara, Shepard and two friends strolling through a new area and blasting some baddies.
While it is good to see some DLC finally tackle things people actually care about, one can't help but wonder if the Shadow Broker is deserving of something slightly grander. The mystery behind the sinister information broker has been hinted at since the very beginning of the Mass Effect saga, so handling it in some bite sized downloaded mission seems slightly anti-climactic. Still, bringing Shepard and Liara together again will no doubt create some interesting tension, and that is something fans will no doubt be able to look forward to. Stay tuned for more information as it develops.
Should be fun.
Another gem I found today. It's like David After Dentist, but somehow funnier.
And since I can't shoehorn this in any other way, here's Morgan Freeman
