dlc costs

[satan45]

i want to know when the cost for the dlc will drastically be reduced. the trilogy can be bought for €20 and if you count up the remaining dlc costs you will need to pay about €180 for the remaining dlc, that means i can almost buy the trilogy 10 more times before i can get to the point of the dlc price. i may be alone in thinking this but i find this quite unacceptable especially since a few of the dlc make the game playable.

https://www.origin.com/nld/en-us/store/mass-effect/mass-effect-2/addon/mass-effect-2-dlc-bundle and https://www.origin.com/nld/en-us/store/mass-effect/mass-effect-3/addon/mass-effect-3-dlc-bundle still quite expencive but nowhere close to the 100+ it was before

I am not a huge fan of Bioware points myself, and it is true that the DLCs are a lot pricier than the the trilogy, but the price for all the DLCs is not even close to 180€.

It is more around 90€ for all DLC that are not already included in the trilogy.

thats for mass effect 3 only or mass effect 2 only. i am talking about both mass effect 2 and 3 together

The DLC is worth a total of 8400 BW Points.

That's (5 x 1600 BWP) + (1 x 800 BWP) = 8800 BW Points (you get 400 spare points)

or (5 x €20) + (1 x €10) = €110

So not quite €180, but still a huge amount.

ME2

AAP 1 - 160
Kasumi - 560
Equalizer - 160
Overlord - 560
Aegis - 160
Firepower - 160
Shadow Broker - 800
Genesis - 320
AAP 2 - 160
Arrival - 560

Total: 3600

ME3

Javik - 800
Firefight - 160
Leviathan - 800
Groundside Resistance - 160
AAP 1 - 160
Omega - 1200
Citadel - 1200
Genesis 2 - 320

Total: 4800

ME1 + 2 = 8400

how do you get eafis aap1 equalizer firepower aap2 firenight and aap1 me3 so cheap ? when i look for those i see most of those on the 560 bioware points

@Fred_vdp @satan45

Imho the two Genesis packets are pretty useless if you have the Trilogy. 

So I was at 3280 points for ME2 and 4480 Points for ME3 = 7760 Points.

Here are the prices at Bioware.

1600 BW Points are 16€ * 4 = 64€       = 6400 Points

  800 BW Points are   8€       =  8€       = 7200 Points

  560 BW Points are   4,88€  =  4,88€  = 7760 Points for 76,88€. 

I guess there could be regional price differences, but I am not sure about that.

for me the first genisis is a necessity xd since the terrible controls in the first game make it unplayable for me.

@satan45

Ok, then it is 4€ more.

It's still a lot more as the trilogy, and I understand why some folks have problems with that, but It's not 180€.

[satan45]

thats what my last calculations came to have not had time to do new calculations with current prizes though 

[holger1405]

@satan45

No problem, I just wanted to make sure that people don't get a wrong impression. 

As said, it is still way more than the Base games and therefore with no doupt expensive.
