The Tela Vasir fight in LOTSB was really thrilling. I thought the Shadow Broker fight was even better though.

ME3 Insanity is waaay easier than ME2 Insanity. Not even close.

Eh. Both those bosses rubbed me the wrong way. Vasir felt... really easy. She never really did any damage to me, just charged around like a moron, and the reinforcements got their shit wrecked by Liara pretty quickly.

The fight with the Broker himself was full of awkward cutscenes. That aside, though, it was a better fight.

Vasir is a cakewalk on any difficulty if you use Stasis. Hit her with it, unload on her when it wears off and she's getting up, and then Stasis her again. Hit the drones she summons with Stasis, too, and they'll blow up after it wears off. Rinse and repeat.

LotSB on Hardcore was a lot of fun. I haven't gotten that far in an Insanity run to comment.

The Leviathan achievements are up. Nothing too crazy from the descriptions, but another 125 gamerscore.

Pssst.

You might want to look at this earlier post.

It kind of seems like they're all unmissable story milestones.

I'm definitely picking it up tomorrow, probably the weapons pack too just for kicks.

I'm not too concerned about how (or whether) it affects the ending. The ending is what it is. I just hope the new mission itself is fun.

I will pick Leviathan because I am hoping it is of LotSB quality. I really could not care less about how it may or may not affect the ending. I suppose they could have put something mind-blowing in there, but I don't see that as very likely.

This. Exactly this. I can't wait for Leviathan and I thought about getting the weapon pack for the Reager alone.

And sorry I reposted the achievements, I missed that on the previous page. My bad.

i might wait to get it until i do another playthrough, if i can resist.

Yea, I used Stasis on her when I realized she topples over for a short while after being hit with it. After she fell, I ran up and unloaded the Revenant in her head.

Also, if you could Stasis her while she was on the edge of the building, she'd fall and the next phase would start. Or, if she was near death, she'd die. It was honestly really easy. I think it would've been more fun doing it as a Vanguard, just Biotic Charging after each other all over the place.

Get it for the Harrier, Reegar, and Adas. All are very good guns in SP.

Good to know, Edge. I downloaded it last night. I hopped online this morning hoping I could queue up Leviathan, but it's not up yet.

It's available now, I just queued up the download on live.xbox.com.

I don't see me beating the game again after playing through Leviathan; I'm just looking forward to the mission itself. I'm not expecting much more than a few new lines of dialog and MAYBE a pre-rendered cutscene of your new buddy flying into the fight or something. Not holding my breath for the latter though.

If anyone plays through and beats it before I'm outta work, let us know what you think! Fingers crossed for being good.

I did LoTSB with an Adept and a Vanguard, with the Vanguard first.

It was much more fun and edge-of-the-seat to do the repeat-rinse of the charge and attack in time to what she was doing.

The Adept, it was Stasis + unload with weapons when she comes out of stasis like you did above.

How do my fellow CAGs like the new dlc? As a once die-hard Mass Effect fan, should I pick this up?

Looks like Alloy was successful. Enjoy those extra medigels, people.

Soldiers of the Milky Way –

It is now common knowledge that Operation ALLOY did not go strictly as planned. Sweeps in what should have been relatively low-risk areas were met with heavy enemy resistance. Fortunately, reports from the field indicate that our troops persevered and were able to strike back. I’ve already been informed of a number of well-deserved promotions. In light of these reports, Operation ALLOY has been deemed a success.

Over the next few days you’ll likely hear many stories about our talented new recruits. I would also like to congratulate the experienced soldiers who fought alongside them. It is under your guidance and leadership that these new recruits excelled. They are now prepared to join our forces on the front lines, and we are all stronger for it.

While we celebrate Operation ALLOY’s success, we need to be aware that the unexpected resistance faced by our soldiers may be symptomatic of a larger issue. We’ve been receiving a number of strange reports that are inconsistent with our knowledge of Reaper ground troop movement. At this point, intel is vague at best. Rest assured we are pursuing the matter.

--Admiral Hackett

I ended up finally promoting. I miss the 180 of Solidarity next to my name, but it was for the greater good. I feel you on those randoms, though. Nothing like a level 5 Destroyer running on around on Gold activating nodes on a team of three infiltrators who won't move.
