BioWare has revealed that they plan to use downloadable content to bridge the gap between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.
“So, for the time being there's going to be a continued stream of DLC for people,” ME2 lead producer Casey Hudson recently told Video Gamer. “We'll start to have packs that'll tell the story between Mass Effect 2 and 3. But beyond that we kind of have to see how people are responding to what we have and go from there."
While BioWare have released a number of paid DLC packs via ME2’s in-game Cerberus Network service, Katsumi – Stolen Memory has been the only story-driven offering. It isn’t clear at this point how the upcoming Overlord DLC will factor into the overall Mass Effect story, but that won’t be a mystery for too much longer as the pack is scheduled for release next month.
Using DLC to fill in the gaps leading up to ME3 is a great idea, and it will interesting to see what BioWare does with it. Hopefully, though, casual ME fans won’t feel completely out of the loop when ME3 is finally released simply because they haven’t bought all of the ME2 DLC leading up to it. I say this as someone who will most likely be in this very situation by the time ME3 is released.
Am I the only one?

Some of the DLC has been free, so I'd hope this bridging is offered to all ME2 players. If the story becomes dependent on DLC to bridge ME2 and ME3, it starts to loose credibility as a "trilogy".

I like.

Mass effect 2 sucked and everybody is blind to the fact that this was supposed to be an RPG but in this second installment they tore it apart to be gears of Wars little bitch.

I hope they release all of the DLC as a pack before ME3 comes out, or else I probably won't play it. Their dlc always seems to be a little light on value.

Hey Jake, any chance Bioware might give us a DLC in game timeline? Something like "this group of DLC should be done before the Omega 4 Relay, and this group of DLC should be done after". If they are planning to bridge the stories, and ME3 is not happening directly after the end of ME2, they should let us know, continuity wise, which order the DLC should be experienced in, or at the very least, which are truly story-centric and which are just fluff.

No more new characters, just a story after the end game events.

I only hope that some of them are larger in scale. Waiting and paying for a download that only last a couple hours is starting to wear me a bit thin. I would gladly pay more each time for a more substantial offering.
Also does anyone know if I can delete my DLC that I have already played? I've got a gig of DLC for ME2, if I delete it will it mess up my save file?

Anything that equals more Mass Effect is a good thing. This is my favorite new franchise this generation. Bring it on BioWare!!
