Thoughts on Arrival.

Admiral Hackett is just as awesome in person as he is giving faceless orders over the comm, and I kind of want him and Anderson to team up and go be awesome together.

On the other hand, Kire's a little worn-down after this mission, because not only did she get banged around kind of a lot, No Endor Holocaust was thoroughly, horrifically averted, and all at her hands. A necessary evil, to be sure, but still kind of ouchy.

All in all, an excellent bit of DLC! Once I got over Damn You Muscle Memory, anyway. I kept trying to pause gameplay by holding down the triggers, which works great for DA2! Not so much for ME2.

You No Endor Holocausted the Batarians?

...okay, they're kind of assholish, but ouch indeed.

Ee-yeah. I mean, it was a colony, and a relatively small one at that - three hundred thousand - but they were innocent. And there's a point where you can choose to warn them or call for pickup from the Normandy, but even if you choose to warn the colony, the villain cuts you off before you can do anything, just to hammer the point home.

It turns out to be necessary, as the Reaper invasion was literally minutes away, but...yeah. Ouch.

You ought to play it!
