It was not necessarily important to the overall story but did add some fun elements to the overall game, more specifically the squadmate. It was a lot of fun to bring him on mission with various other people to hear his opinions and reactions to the mission or people you talk to. Please don't let the negative views of so many bitter people negatively impact your desire to try this DLC. It's well worth the money.… Expand

The prothean character model was already on the disc. This is normal and done so that the integration of new models with the rest of the game runs smoother. And this DLC was released on the same day the game was! It was developed by a different production team, and had a much shorter period of tests. Now that we are through that, let us get to the real point: is this worth its price? For ten dollars you get a new character, a new mission, a new weapon and a new outfit for each of your squadmates. The new outfits are disposable. The new weapon is kind of fun as it works in a very different way from other assault rifles. The new mission is very boring as it involves going somewhere, killing a bunch of enemies and repeating those steps ten more times. But the start of From Ashes is Javik, the prothean squadmate. He is a very interesting character both in combat (see him as an offensive Garrus) and in conversations. As a matter of fact, I daresay Shepard shares the best dialogues in the game with this ruthless, vengeful prothean warrior. My suggestion is: do not buy this DLC for your first run through Mass Effect 3. If you like the game and plan to play it again, then buy it and you probably will not be disappointed.… Expand

The character included is interesting, and helps expand on the history of the Mass Effect universe. His interactions with Shepherd on the Normandy and on various missions goes from decent to very good (recommend you bring him to Thessia). On the other hand, this content should never have been a DLC. The content does not add new gameplay, or an extensive multi-part mission, or bring in content that is colorful but separate from the main mission. Instead, you get a relatively short single-part mission that feels completely like a part of the main game that was ripped out for cash. It is well done, and up to Mass Effect's standards, but leaves a sour taste in your mouth to have to pay extra for core gameplay. It feels like being cheated by something that is supposed to be entertainment, and Bioware's reputation should decline because of it.… Expand

So the game ends up being $70, really? I never knew a game developer could stoop to such ridiculously low levels. Bioware, and many others, are straight out killing the gaming community and should be stopped, but they wont. Everyone will buy this **** DLC and eat it up thinking they made a good investment.… Expand
