BioWare Readying More Mass Effect DLC

Despite the ongoing development of Mass Effect 2, BioWare apparently hasn't given up on supporting the first PC and Xbox 360 entry in the sci-fi role-playing franchise.

During a chat with CinemaBlend, BioWare community manager Jay Watamaniuk noted that another downloadable episode is on the way, but declined to offer any details.

The first and only bit of Mass Effect DLC released thus far, dubbed "Bringing Down the Sky," added a new alien race and roughly 90 minutes of gameplay last March.

In addition, Watamaniuk said a new PC patch should hit in "like a month or two."

Did not purchase Bringing Down the Sky. Didn't feel yet another UNC mission was worth $5. I'm not sure I want BioWare putting out DLC for the game. Of course it took Bethesda quite a while before they got it right.

Mass Effect, while being one of the coolest Sci-Fi games I've ever played, always felt incomplete. There should have been a wider selection of guns, armor, and NPC's. The Universe was huge but there were only like 50 people in it.

And of course the menu system was a total mess. Why can't any company get that right? There should be a standard menu system that every RPG uses, minimum. Why do developers insist on reinventing the wheel with every game?

I got this on the PC and it was very difficult to get over the crashes and bugs I experienced. I got quite a few hours into it anyway, and while the side missions were pretty lame in my opinion, I was very impressed with the main plot missions. I never figgured there'd be a patch this late but I may start it again and try to burn through to the ending.

I'm somewhat disappointed Bioware haven't done more DLC wise with the game. It sounded before release that they were going to be giving us a lot more.

The thing is he only said patch, not DLC.

"We have been watching the different Mass Effect PC forum communities and gathering your feedback on issues encountered while playing Mass Effect PC. Thank you all for taking the time to provide feedback to help us make Mass Effect PC a better game.
"

Means they watched what people cried about and will probably fix it. I suspect inventory system, and dialogue options

My wife and I are Star Wars fans since we were little kids in the 70's, but she is not a gamer AT ALL. I've been tempted to pick up Mass Effect on the PC for myself, but I've been wondering if this is something she might get into if I got it for the XBOX360 to be played in the living room (less intimidating, both of us can play/watch at the same time). She did seem interested in the Gabrial Knight 2:Beast Within 'click' your own adventure back in the early 90's. Is this anyting similar, or do you need crazy controller skillz to enjoy?

I seem to recall they were going to release DLC more often, wonder what happened to that plan.

If this is anything like bringing down the sky, I'll pass. That was pretty expensive for 20 minutes of gameplay, which wasn't really any different than any of the other side missions other than 2 new skins for the enemies.

on the 360 version, is there anything beyond the X version of gear? I'm pretty sure my character was almost fully geared in Name X gear. It has been nearly 6 months since playing, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
