User blog comment:Ygrain/Leviathan: Do you know what you are doing, Bioware?/@comment-173.60.109.181-20120908061550

To me, the revelation of the Leviathans is a feeble and not-so-subtle attempt to tie up the final loose ends of the Mass Effect franchise. A secret as profound as the Reapers' creators should never have been left to a two hour mission that WASN'T EVEN IN THE MAIN GAME. Concluding major conflicts was a huge theme throughout Mass Effect 3, as seen in the Genophage, Quarian-Geth war, etc., but some of the most fan-desired content came accompanied by price tags. "Want to meet a Prothean? Ten bucks." "Want to meet the Reapers' creators? Ten bucks." Revelations of this magnitude should either be an integral part of the storyline to begin with or should be left out completely. The fact that they were optional and therefore had no impact on the story vastly cheapened what I got from each one. And the fact that we were charged for them (especially Day 1 DLC) was just insulting.

I feel that the discovery of the Leviathans was the final card Bioware had left to play. While it was executed well, it signifies the true end of the trilogy by revealing the greatest secret of the franchise in a ten dollar DLC. I would be very surprised at the existence of future DLC's simply because (other than Omega) there is nowhere left to go that would interest fans more than this one did, especially after how much heat it lost from the ending fiasco.

Arrivederci Mass Effect, you were good while you lasted.
