Omega brings back Aria T'Loak, the asari pirate queen voiced by Carrie-Anne Moss with her own asteroid-based hive of scum and villainy. Project Overlord is solid too, taking some cliched elements but using them to build to a powerful climax.
Of the others, Kasumi's Stolen Memory mission is a highlight, and it's worth doing Zaeed's Price of Revenge mainly to guarantee he returns in Mass Effect 3. Lair of the Shadow Broker isn't just the best DLC for Mass Effect 2, it's the best part of the whole game-even counting the suicide mission. Just ignore that email Admiral Hackett sends about an urgent solo mission. If you're a completionist who wants every single possible war asset though, save Arrival until after the suicide mission. Nothing Arrival does turns out to be necessary to set up Mass Effect 3. You get captured whether you defeat an ambush or not, you fail to save people whether you try to warn them or not, and then the big moral choice Arrival ends on is taken out of your hands. There's a lot of combat, some light puzzle-solving, and several moments where it frustratingly takes away your agency. Wait until after you've done all that to return to Liara and start Lair of the Shadow Broker.Ī bridging DLC intended to set up Mass Effect 3, this one has Shepard infiltrate a batarian base to rescue an Alliance agent, and ends with a tease of what's coming in Mass Effect 3. Instead, complete the missions where she sends you off to hack terminals (Systems Hacking and The Observer), which are designed to give you something to do while you're exploring the hub to recruit Thane and Samara and do Miranda's loyalty mission. When you should play it: When you talk to Liara on Ilium there's a dialogue option that says, "Let's get the Shadow Broker." Choosing that will start the DLC but also end Liara's chain of sidequests from the base game. There's a crime scene investigation, a fight up the side of a big space thing, and a car chase where you finally get to pilot one of those skycars. It's got a diverse collection of fun setpieces too. If you romanced Liara in the first Mass Effect this is your opportunity to pick up where you left off, but even if you didn't Lair of the Shadow Broker is still a blast-an opportunity to play Gal Friday while your former sidekick has a turn at being protagonist. The most substantial Mass Effect 2 expansion reunites you with Liara, now an information broker, as she tries to rescue one of her agents from the Shadow Broker.

When you should play it: When you're on Omega to recruit Mordin and Archangel, recruit Zaeed in passing. The main thing it has going for it is that voice actor Robin Sachs (who played Ethan Rayne in Buffy) does a great grizzled badass. Zaeed's involves liberating a refinery from his old mercenary company, and confronting the fact that he's kind of an amoral bastard.

On the plus side, their loyalty missions unlock straight away. They just tell stories based on which items you look at in their rooms. The other difference with the DLC squaddies is that they don't have back-and-forth dialogues when hanging out on the Normandy. It makes having to fight through an entire office tower to recruit Thane seem a hassle by comparison, though Thane does have much more kissable lips.
They're noticeably different from the others, with no recruitment missions-in veteran mercenary Zaeed's case, you have a quick chat on Omega and he immediately joins the squad.
