User blog comment:AnotherRho/Opinions about Overlord DLC?/@comment-217683-20101105045525

I'll have to be that guy and disagree. I thought that Overlord was only so-so. It certainly wasn't (IMO) "the best piece of DLC for ME2" prior to LOTSB. That distinction (again, IMO) goes to Zaeed - The Price of Revenge, with Kasumi - Stolen Memory coming in a somewhat distant second. I'd probably even rank Normandy Crash Site ahead of Overlord, as it offered some nice closure. To me, the story of Overlord seemed too blah and predictable. The big "moral dilemma" at the end wasn't anything surprising or particularly shocking/noteworthy, just (admittedly) visually powerful.

As has been noted elsewhere, Overlord didn't even have any sort of lasting impact on the rest of the game. No new weapons, no new squad members (unlike the DLCs I ranked #1 and 2), not even a new decoration for the cabin, like we got with Normandy Crash Site and Firewalker. Honestly, while I wouldn't say I regret having pirchased Overlord, I can say that, if this tells you anything, after playing it the first time, I haven't bothered going back to do it again on any of my other playthroughs. It's the only DLC I can say that about. And in my book, that screams "lackluster".
