Mass Effect's first bit of downloadable content, "Bring down the sky," is lackluster at best. In a 400MP pack you get an asteroid full of mercs and lame side quests that you will most likely dominate in less than hour, if you cut out the side quest within the DLC. My real fear is that EA who bought BioWare last year will continue to release the rest of the DLC for Mass Effect in small portions similar to the Bring down the sky pack. Most of which will likely be small story arcs that have nothing to do with the SPECTRE's, Turian/Human conflict, or any other major topics of interest that could help flesh out the universe.
I hope I'm wrong, I really do. But EA is just EA, and among their buyouts of other devs, BioWare is just the latest firm to be finely tuned into a profit shop. And we the gamers get the shaft, yet again.
