BioWare on Mass Effect DLC, Sequel
In a documentary included with the recent release of the Mass Effect Platinum Hits edition, BioWare revealed the combat-centric theme of the upcoming DLC pack for the game.
“We had something in Mass Effect 1 which we didn’t have the time and we didn’t think we would do well enough, which is a fight club arena,” said principal lead designer Preston Watamaniuk in the video.
Added comments by project director Casey Hudson note that the pack will be light on story but heavy on combat. “You’re going to go to kind of a casino, gaming, fight club space station.”
BioWare also dropped an interesting tidbit about the highly anticipated sequel: “Any save game that you make from Mass Effect 1, you should be able to carry that same character into Mass Effect 2,” said Hudson.
Hudson also noted that the second game will be a “much darker experience” and that there will be lots of twists and turns.
