Rumor ‘MASS EFFECT 3′ DLC To Revolve Around Rogue Reaper Named Leviathan. Whatevs.

June 28th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

The Mass Effect 3: Unfucked Ending Edition was pretty fucking disappointing. I didn’t expect much, and that’s exactly what I was given. Now that the ending to one of my favorite franchises has been left indubitably awash in a sea of rotting ass, I’m not so certain I’m excited for any sort of DLC. Yet I’ll buy it. Of course I will.

Kotaku:

Mass Effect 3 could get a new piece of downloadable content revolving around a Reaper named Leviathan, according to files extracted by a BioWare forum poster yesterday.

(Potential spoilers for potential Mass Effect 3 DLC follow.)

According to the files, which were extracted from yesterday’s “Extended Cut” DLC and dumped on Pastebin, you’ll have to rescue a scientist from a colony that is under the control of a Reaper named Leviathan. Leviathan has apparently broken free from the rest of the Reapers to do his own thing.

One purported line reads: “So a Reaper goes rogue and kills one of its own. That’s what we’re looking at here, right?”

Another: “If Leviathan is a defector—a Reaper that broke away from the others—then it is also a traitor.”

I contacted BioWare for comment this morning and received this statement: “We don’t comment on rumors or speculation. There will be news about more DLC coming soon…”

…You sold? At all?

    I agree, I really could care less about any DLC for this game but at the same time ill get it and ill probably really enjoy it and it will make me even more depressed thinking about how 95% of ME3 was truly entertaining and intense and then a God Child shit brat shows up and its like oh wait so nothing i did for the past 100 hours matters?

    Maybe I just wasn’t as invested in the story, or, I don’t know what, but I just didn’t get as bitchy as the common fan about the end. *shrug*
    I’m more “not the destination, but the journey” types. Same way with the original Fallout 3 ending, with an equally anti-climactic ending (the popular opinion). I had so much fucking fun playing the game, I was just upset it HAD to end at some point…
    Haven’t seen any of the new DLC, but I hope to eventually. There are some unanswered questions.
    Curious that there could even BE a “rogue” Reaper…I thought the collective was a hive mind???
