I have an intense dislike for Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout 3. I loved Mass Effect, so I'm a BioWare fan, I guess?

Damn right. I hope the Charm stuff lets me romance anyone. And by "anyone", I mean Wrex.

" @robotRhino: The inferno armor ups negotiation powers by 10%. So I think its just a buff in the whole "I'm gonna talk you out of this" department.  "
This makes sense to me, though I always max out my "Charm" ;)

" It's dependable. Giant Bomb exists because of a refusal to compromise integrity. It is also for that reason that the credibility of places like Gamespot and IGN are suspect. "
This being said, I did feel a little weird listening to the GB guys talking about how great AC2 was, while at the same time the site was plastered with AC2 ads everywhere.

I have had some of the biggest rage moments of my life playing CS and WoW.  
 
I just remember having freakouts in matches all the time in CS, screaming in vent, smashing the table, etc. over the most "random" and "wtf" headshots that people would somehow land on me. 
 
Wiping on Illidan because some rogue pulled aggro at TWO percent caused an epic vent freakout by the entire raid, so it wasn't just me.

    After buying both of them and playing through them on my second playthrough, I can't help but think that Pinnacle Station was a much better value proposition than Bring Down the Sky.  
 
Bring Down the Sky featured a bit of a story, voice acting, but all it boiled down to for me was just another generic planet (asteroid in this case, I guess) that I did a side-mission quest chain on. The ~2 hours or so it took to complete didn't really make it stand out in my mind as a good purchase.
 
Pinnacle Station had a pretty challenging set of missions (the last four) that forced me to level my Shepard up on other side-missions before coming back. While the combat in ME can be super jank at times, I never felt like I was unable to complete a mission because of it's flaws. I felt that I could complete them all with relative ease, with the exception of the last "Capture" mission, where I ended up retrying it for ~30 min or so because I kept missing the top time by a few tenths of a second. After everything was all done, I got a cushy pad on some planet too, and an awesome loot generator!
 
As they were both 400 points when I purchased them, I honestly feel like Pinnacle Station, while lacking story, really enhanced my gameplay experience while Bring Down the Sky felt like much less content for the same price. 
 
So I ask you guys, what was the better value proposition?

The DLC is not a stand-alone module -- it's a scenario similar to some of the side quests on other planets.

Ashley and Kaiden (only because I min/max'd his decryption skill) and later in the game, Ashley and Garrus (Spectre sniper rifle + HE rounds = devastating)

I live in Norway and there, there are two different pre-order bonuses: 
There is the one from Gamestop with the "Terminus armour" and the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon. And then there is a online shop called CDON which gives out an "Inferno Armour" which supposedly gives you special conversation options when you wear it.  
What do you think of this?

I'm jealous, and angry. :P
