    the official forums said LotSB can be done before the suicide mission, but the dialogue is weighted towards post-suicide mission

    How will that work exactly? Will the installation of the DLC alter the scene you get with Liara after helping her out with her two Illium side-quests or what?

    Maybe if you complete her quest you can run Lair of the Shadow Broker or something? It's all speculation at this point.

    Unrelated: soooo glad summer session classes will be over by the time the DLC drops, so I can set at my computer stabbing the F5 button until it's released and then play myself sick. No need to waste time in class when I could be playing some Mass Effect!

    PS, 5 week quarters are haaaard after 16 week semesters O_o

    For some reason, I have a strong impression that the Shadow Broker will be Liara's "father". She's a pureblood, meaning Matriarch Benezia melded with a fellow asari to produce Liara, which is frowned upon in their society. Liara's stated that she never knew her "father". I figure the Shadow Broker has to be an asari or something else that's extremely long-lived, because only members of those races would really know how to lay out long plans -- and they have long memories. Also, asari children get traits from both their parents, and we've now learned that Liara takes to information brokering like a duck to water.

    Anyway, that's my guess.

    This is a good guess. It was really interesting playing ME2 and seeing how ruthless Liara was on Nos Astra. It would be an intriguing twist.

    well you see the world of intrigue isn't that different from a dig site

    does the analogy make any sense? No. That's why Liara's the master of intrigue.

    So, I just read Retribution. Illusive Man: still a dick.
    At the end, when he thought he needed to smooth things over with Aria, I thought he was going to offer her daughter's killer, which seemed an otherwise pretty pointless kill, but apparently having unlimited money is pretty good too. At least this means we might be able to fight Kai Leng in DLC or ME3, N7-a-N7.

    Was that power Grayson used on Anderson supposed to be reave?

    Also that little conversation towards the end is making the reapers sound like religious zealots, which I hope is a ruse.

    i think it was supposed to be warp. sounded like a warp from the description.

    soldier insanity update: this is easier than my infiltrator on normal. :\

    i've died a few times doing silly silly things, but on the whole this is easy mode. slow-mo has its appeal, but i miss....i dunno, challenge? hopefully horizon will bring back some of the madness.

    at least with a sentinel you still knew your enemies could kill you. adrenaline rush is like pause, fill target with mattock shots, unpause.

    combine that with incendiary ammo and i'm just racing through missions. this will probably be my shortest playthrough.

    If you're looking for a challenge, Soldier isn't going to give it to you. It's fun to fill stuff full of bullets, but it's even easier than Adept. You can pretty much steamroll everything.

    Oh no, he can't be. I already roleplayed him as the man behind the illusive man in my playthrough.

    But, to contribute something: It's most probable one of the council members. (human or alien depending on your choice in ME1)

    It can't be one of the Council Members. The Shadow Broker was doing his thing before the events of ME1, and if it was a Council Member he would potentially be dead in the second game.

    Which rather contradicts a lot of stuff.

    Maybe it is shifting. Going back to that the shadow broker is a necessary evil. Maybe it's a position that is shifting through an outside force that upholds the title who approach those with political power. So, maybe a member of the new human council has now the role of the "Shadow Broker".
