Mass Effect 2 Fans Piece Together The Clues Of ‘Arrival’ DLC -StickTwiddlers

A post on the Official Bioware Forums yesterday uncovered the name and trophy/achievement details of the next Mass Effect 2 DLC but what could ‘Arrival’ be?

These details came from a PS3 patch for the action-adventure title which added three new trophies for an as of yet unreleased DLC pack, ‘Arrival’ but details from the PC ‘Alternate Appearance Pack 2′ may have allowed fans to piece together what to expect from ‘Arrival’ and a possible release date.

There's not much to spoil so far tbh. Atm we know what system the DLC is based in, and some preliminary info on the story. Nothing major though.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
