Fans who have been waiting for ME3 for months are seriously boycotting the game over this, because if this kind of business model is going to take hold, you will see a trend where you will get less and less content in the released main game, and you will get more of the asian "keep buying addons" style of games. It is a cashcow, plain and simple. Most games with some notable exceptions are way too short anyway. Paying for cosmetic DLC is fine as it doesn't affect the gameplay, buying DLC where the game gets so unbalanced and therefore way too easy is something that already doesn't sit right with me, but this is just moneygrabbing for the sake of moneygrabbing.
Bullshit. This DLC won't affect anything else about the game. Guarantee it. All it will do is give you one more party member who will not operate the same way as the other party members. Just like Zaeed and Kasumi in ME2, sure they are great add ons, but you can play the whole game without them and get the same experience. They bring nothing to the table but a different looking person following you around. This DLC will be just the same.
This is NOT the same as taking a portion of the full game and making you pay extra for it. This isn't making the game 'unbalanced' if you don't buy it. Absolute tosh.
The people who will be supposedly 'boycotting' this are fools. If they want to miss out on one of the greatest gaming experiences going then they can be my guest, but frankly the reasons they are doing so are stupid. I'd gladly pay twice as much for this game than half the other crap on the gaming market today regardless.
