	any new game nowadays boasts 'plans for future downloadable content' yet hardly lives up to it if at all. do yall think Bioware will continue to release content regularly such as planets, weapons, quests, etc.?...thus making the gameplay last a lot longer till the sequels? i really hope so but not in the same overpriced path as TES4 (horse armor, knights of 9)

	We better, or we're going to have to find some other work for the whole ME Live team to do. _________________ Like a great predatory piano, I sit silent in the darkness. Until it is time to attack and then I strike in a cacophony of violence and ivory keys.

How many people are in the live team? I cant answer that, but I can tell you the writers have as far as I know moved across to working on the download content. I would guess that's why we have not seen much of Chris L'Etoile lately, I'm guessing he's busy, busy. _________________ The Mass Effect FAQ 4.1 now has a great new look thanks to monoxism http://mefaq.sendu.me.uk/ .

	I would gladly pay a "reasonable" amount! And what is that exactly? If it were up to the people wanting to turn profits (make no mistake about it...ME is for a huge part about profits) they would gladly charge 1$ for each round fired. I just hope (I REALLY DO) morals go hand in hand with what is charged. I do hope BioTeam and Microsoft takes DLC seriously and don´t call overpriced content "fair price" if it is not as seen with the horse amour download. Please note that I´m willing to pay a "reasonable" amount as stated in the beginning! Hope you all catch my drift... _________________ I won´t let some pissant bartender slow me down...

I don't know what kind of idiot would pay $2.50 for HORSE ARMOR. Maybe you guys at Bioware could come out with extra explorable worlds.

I'll pay whatever they tell me to pay for whatever content they decide to give me. If I gotta cut back on non-essentials like food and such, so be it..

	I think it'd be wise for them to price the DLC fairly low, and then give it a killer cliffhanger ending, with a storyline that really draws people in, so that way people who just got the DLC because it was cheap will want the first game, and everyone who's played the first game will want the second and third all the more. With cheap DLC, if done correctly, they could draw in a lot more people to the ME universe. In all likelihood though, the DLC won't be stand alone, to reduce size, so hopefully they'll have some demos to draw more people in.

If overpriced it´ll definetely lessen the experience don´t you think? If being "robbed" lingers on in the back of your mind! _________________ I won´t let some pissant bartender slow me down...
