    Don't even bother with the data collection sidequest, it literally gets you nothing except for an achievement.

    You mean for the keepers? It gets you money and XP :P

    No it's an ME2 sidequest.

    A really irritating one at that.

    Going to take my Xbox to work tomorrow, hook it up to the internet and download all the Mass Effect DLC I've missed out on.

    I'm sitting on I dunno like 8,000 points on my account that's just been sitting there since May when my gold account ran out.

    Getting all the ME2 DLC, fo' shizzle.

    I think he meant the data sidequest in Overlord actually.

    And honestly I've enjoyed this one more than Shadow Broker so far. The boss fights in Shadow Broker were great but I'm really digging the hammerhead stuff.

    And trashing that satellite disk was hilarious

    So from what I can tell, the Xbox page lists three missions and a bunch of weapon and texture packs. I don't really care about the weapons and textures, so I'm down to the missions.

    Lair of the Shadow Broker
    Overlord
    Kasumi - Stolen Memory

    None of these are free with the Cerebus Network, are they? If not, which are the must-haves? I've only got 2,600 points or so (darn) and all three of these are almost 2,000. So perhaps I'll just grab one or maybe two for now.

    shadow broker is the best of them all, but it is best if you do that one after completing the main story, so kasumi is your best bet for now if you plan to do a new playthrough

    I only got Kasumi after I'd beaten the game, is she worth taking along for regular quests? Or is she a Zaed type without much in-mission dialogue?

    She's got the one liners and the like everyone has.

    And she's got probably the best ability in the game (Shadow Strike)

    Kasumi has a fair bit of in-mission dialogue and commentary, equal to any other character, I'd say

    however because she's internet nerd fan-bait I find her kinda obnoxious

    that said

    her shadow strike and flashbang powers are really ace especially on high difficulty settings, so

    most of her dialogue is composed of pop culture references and internet gags

    she does nelson muntz's "HA-HA" laugh for christ's sake

    not to mention the fact that she's almost literally a ninja

    she's got "trying too hard" written all over her

    Overlord is best done before you get Legion, otherwise their entire project seems extra offensive and retarded and there's no way to even try to justify it as being anything but heinously evil

    I guess I know which ones I'm buying first.

    Well not really, because there are very well done female characters in the form of Samara, Jack and Miranda.

    But Kasumi seems like she has been designed as "Nerdy space ninja" which is exactly what nerd bait is.

    How is she nerdy? Because she's tech-savvy and reads books? Oh and she likes art.

    And besides what makes her awesome was her personality and lines.

    To me you just listed the three most boring characters aside from Jacob.

    If Kasumi, Tali and Liara are "nerd bait" then I guess I'll bite.
    At least they're fun.

    I do think Liara is nerd-bait. Maybe not so intentionally but I still call it her because I hate her

    And before you say "she's great in LotSB" I don't like her in that either, mostly just because after the first game I can't take her seriously at all.

    But Kasumi isn't, and neither is any other female character in the series.

    You are right, and I shouldn't use it to describe Liara, though it does seem fitting.

    Really I just find her immensely irritating for a variety of reasons. Her simpering mostly.

    Honestly apart from Jack and Liara I think that the female characters are all great, some of the best in the series, even the ones outside your squad (apart from the consort)

    And yeah Mirandass is best
