No Problem, if you still want to try other solutions look below.
Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME2 > Repair)
If that don't helps, did you tried all the suggestions in this thread?
If yes, flushing the DNS cache would be the next step. Also run SFC /scannow if the flushing don't works.
If that still not works, try this:
Download the "masseffect-binkw32-master" file from here.
Unzip the file and go to the "masseffect-binkw32-master\masseffect-binkw32-master\ME2\Release" folder.
Copy the two "binkw32.dll" to the "Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder. (overwrite)
Steam = ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect 2\Binaries""
Origin =">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries"
FWIW I was getting the same error (see my other thread here), and I happened to have a new CPU come in, so I decided just to do a clean Windows 10 install. After the format and resetup, Mass Effect 2 no longer hangs at "Please Wait"!
So there's a nuclear option if you want to take it, haha.

Thanks but I really don't want to do that! That's actually when I started having issues. I had my SSD with OS on it crash and had to do a fresh install of Win since I didn't have a backup (silly me!) I think if I can't get it fixed in a few more tries will see if I can get my money back for the DLC. Can still play the game and it still rocks. Best games ever!
