At the very start of Mass Effect 2, the Normandy is attacked by a collector ship and downed. Regardless, this is the event that will get Shepard on Earth in Mass Effect 3, provided players do not play the very last DLC in Mass Effect 2.ĭespite its namesake, the Normandy Crash Site downloadable content is tiny. Chances are that many players will do it without even knowing it is DLC. Its nature is also super player-friendly, in that players will know they can do it and not suffer too much consequence in terms of time-sensitive content.
It is a DLC that can be played whenever, but is best spaced out in-between main missions. The Bring Down the Sky content adds three new assignments and locations to Shepard’s mission log and ultimately ends with a massive event that does have repercussions. As such, this guide will offer advice to all players about which Mass Effect DLC order is best to enjoy the epic narrative.Īs the only available downloadable content for the first game, it goes without saying that it needs to be done. While all content can technically be enjoyed in whatever order gamers see fit, there are some cases where Bioware scripted certain cutscenes differently depending on when players tackle the downloadable content! With that said, there does seem to be an optimal way to consume the content, specifically in a way that makes more sense for the story (in my humble opinion). As such, we figured we would create a guide detailing and describing the best Mass Effect DLC order the games must be played in. As such, they (newer players especially) could easily become overwhelmed with the daunting list of content the package has on offer. With the imminent release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition in mind, many new and returning gamers will be introduced and reintroduced to hundreds of hours of content. Spanning three titles, Mass Effect has won the hearts and minds of many gamers and will continue to do so with the remastered edition. There is simply no denying how the Mass Effect trilogy is one of the greatest space epics video gaming has ever seen.
