When to play ME3 DLC?

#1 Posted by mattoncybertron (19 posts) - 6 months, 13 days ago

Finally getting around to playing ME3 after I found it at a awesome price last week and eager to play to fit into GOTY stuff. I'm wondering if there is an ideal time to crack into "Leviathan" and "Omega", or any others. The new one that all the writers are working on sounds interesting too, shame its coming out so late cuz I really think I've waited long enough to check this out.

Anyway, anybody who's played these that could offer some ideas please do so, I'd really appreciate your input. I couldn't find solid info anywhere else.

Thanks guys!

Complete From Ashes ASAP

Complete Leviathan just before you start the point of no return, when you'll begin the endgame and can't do any other quests.

Complete Omega whenever

This couldn't be more correct. "From Ashes" and "Leviathan" answer two of the biggest question marks of the Mass Effect trilogy and make the ending complete and sane. "Omega" is a lot more like, "Stolen Memory" from Mass Effect 2.

I don't understand. Why does everybody say Leviathan spoils the end game? I've beaten ME3 and I've beaten Leviathan. I don't think there's anything that directly spoils the end of the game, unless I'm missing something that the giant lobster Reaper said.

Everyone doesn't. No one responding here has either. Leviathan completes the ending. At least that's what I took out of it. I won't go into detail about why as the OP obviously hasn't played through the game and its DLC yet. Don't you feel that Leviathan made your encounter with star child more complete? It did for me.

Omega is right after finishing the side-mission for Aria.

Leviathan toward the end of the game, after Thessia.

From Ashes after recruiting Garrus.

Omega is the only one Bioware told exactly were it takes place.
