Does the Mass Effect 3 DLC Really Matter?

With less than a fortnight until release, Bioware have managed to turn many a fan against themselves and their forthcoming blockbuster, Mass Effect 3. For those that don’t yet know, Bioware plan to release day one downloadable content for ME3 which consists of a character that most would consider integral to the ME universe. Unlike Batman Arkham City or even ME2, this DLC doesn’t come free for those purchasing the game brand new. Strangely, it’s only open to people that buy the special edition – this is where the controversy was born.
