The Omega DLC launches on 27th Nov on PC and Xbox 360 and on 28th Nov on PS3. If you take a certain path you end up with a strong relationship with Aria without romancing her BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas on Aria T'Loak. A convenient conceit to fit the standalone nature of the DLC? I mean, if Aria wanted Shepard's help to fight off an occupying force on a big rock in out of space, surely she'd call for the cavalry. ![]() That means no Garrus, no EDI, no no-one - and no Normandy. For some reason, which, we're told, the story explains, Shepard must accompany Aria alone. There you learn from Aria her desire to reclaim Omega, which is under the control of a Cerberus force headed up by General Oleg Petrovsky. You pick the mission up from the Citadel - the nightclub Purgatory to be precise. What you get for your 1200 MS Points or £10 is roughly four hours of gameplay. That's because when you venture out to Omega you leave all your party members - and the Normandy - behind.Īll this is explained by the story, Condominas says. ![]() Your first thought upon hearing about Nyreen might have been, 'I can't wait to see what Garrus makes of her.' But, unfortunately, you can't find out. I can't wait for the players' feedback!” The sex question ![]() We changed subtly some shapes to give her a smoother face. “We wanted to make sure the first time you see her you realise she's female and not a male turian, so we had to do a bit of work. While a female turian did pop up in one of the Mass Effect comics, there was no video game reference point (and there are female turian soldiers in the game, but they're background soldiers who go unnoticed, apparently). Her Biotic Grenade ability does exactly what it says on the tin, and Biotic Protector raises a magic shield, useful for keeping her alive when the chips are down.Ĭondominas said designing Nyreen was quite a challenge. Her powers aren't as devastating as Aria's, but she's still useful in combat. Nyreen is ex-turian military, but, despite this, she is a biotic (turian military hierarchy prohibits biotic powers). There's Nyreen, the first female turian seen in the Mass Effect video games. Her name is Nyreen Kandros, the turian leader of the Talon mercenary group and the first female turian to be seen in the Mass Effect video games. So powerful is Aria that BioWare had to rebalance the combat gameplay to cope.īut it is the second new party member that will attract the most attention. Lash is particularly useful against shielded enemies - a single attack can drop a shields in an instant. Lash sends a biotic lash out onto the battlefield, attracting enemies to her and doing heavy damage. Flare is “probably one of the most powerful” biotic explosive attacks in the game and is great for clearing groups of enemies. And her abilities, created specifically for her use, reflect that power. The first of these is Aria T'Loak, the frowning asari mob boss who, in her view, is the rightful owner of Omega, the space station last seen in Mass Effect 2.Īria is a powerful biotic - one of the most powerful, BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas tells Eurogamer. ![]() Sure, Shepard is the main man/woman, but fans will be most interested in the two new party members you get to control. In Omega, the new downloadable add-on for BioWare's science fiction role-playing shooter Mass Effect 3, two never before playable characters steal the show.
