dlc costs

@satan45

I am not a huge fan of Bioware points myself, and it is true that the DLCs are a lot pricier than the the trilogy, but the price for all the DLCs is not even close to 180€.

It is more around 90€ for all DLC that are not already included in the trilogy.

thats for mass effect 3 only or mass effect 2 only. i am talking about both mass effect 2 and 3 together 

The DLC is worth a total of 8400 BW Points.

That's (5 x 1600 BWP) + (1 x 800 BWP) = 8800 BW Points (you get 400 spare points)

or (5 x €20) + (1 x €10) = €110

So not quite €180, but still a huge amount.

ME2

AAP 1 - 160
Kasumi - 560
Equalizer - 160
Overlord - 560
Aegis - 160
Firepower - 160
Shadow Broker - 800
Genesis - 320
AAP 2 - 160
Arrival - 560

Total: 3600

ME3

Javik - 800
Firefight - 160
Leviathan - 800
Groundside Resistance - 160
AAP 1 - 160
Omega - 1200
Citadel - 1200
Genesis 2 - 320

Total: 4800

ME1 + 2 = 8400

how do you get eafis aap1 equalizer firepower aap2 firenight and aap1 me3 so cheap ? when i look for those i see most of those on the 560 bioware points

@Fred_vdp @satan45

Imho the two Genesis packets are pretty useless if you have the Trilogy. 

So I was at 3280 points for ME2 and 4480 Points for ME3 = 7760 Points.

Here are the prices at Bioware.

1600 BW Points are 16€ * 4 = 64€       = 6400 Points

  800 BW Points are   8€       =  8€       = 7200 Points

  560 BW Points are   4,88€  =  4,88€  = 7760 Points for 76,88€. 

I guess there could be regional price differences, but I am not sure about that.  

for me the first genisis is a necessity xd since the terrible controls in the first game make it unplayable for me. 

@satan45

Ok, then it is 4€ more.

It's still a lot more as the trilogy, and I understand why some folks have problems with that, but It's not 180€.

thats what my last calculations came to have not had time to do new calculations with current prizes though 

@satan45

No problem, I just wanted to make sure that people don't get a wrong impression. 

As said, it is still way more than the Base games and therefore with no doupt expensive.

I think Genesis is abysmal. There are some contradictions to the storyline, omissions of major plot points (e.g. the cipher, which is relevant in ME3), and there are way too few import choices.

I think it's better to just watch or read a recap, download a save file from http://masseffectsaves.com/, import it into ME2, then optionally modify the file in Gibbed's ME2 Save Editor.
