Hi Everyone

We are pleased to announce this morning that the next Mass Effect 2 DLC episode The Lair of the Shadowbroker will be available on the PC and Xbox 360 on Tuesday September 7 and will cost 800 BioWare/Microsoft points. Not only is this an excellent adventure through Illium and the shadowbroker's secret lair, this new DLC will add the Shadow Broker intel center, new research, and five new achievements – and give fans from Mass Effect 1the chance to continue a relationship with Liara.

To help whet your appetite, we have added 4 new Shadowbroker screenshots to the Mass Effect gallery. You can check them out here: http://masseffect.bioware.com/media/screenshots/

I actually want to know more about the Illusive Man and this Shadow Broker fellow. BTW, did you destroy the collector ship or keep the collector ship?

**I kinda did both because I wanted to experience both endings in ME3, should it ever come down it.**

I did both, but have kind moved forward with the Renegade Shepard that kept the collector ship. He also picked Morinth over Samara.

If it ends up being a dramatic game choice, I have a saved Paragon Shepard that destroyed the collector ship, picked Samara, and made many other Paragon choices, but I would need to go back finish this Shepard up for ME3.

I also was able to remain loyal to Liara, while romancing ALL of the other available ladies. So I also have saved Shepards with each of the romance options for his cabin. I think I like Kelly the best because her cabin entertainment is the most dynamic.

My only regret I did not get the Widow Sniper Rifle and my sniper damage is 4/5. However, the Reverent AR running 6/6 is about as deadly a primary weapon as you can have in the game. Especially with all of the various ammo types ready at the touch of a button.

Playing on insane, I really wanted to have the widow sniper as I had 5/5 sniper damage. But it was too hard to continue on in the Collector ship, so I went back and got the AR training and used the Mattock semi-auto. How'd you get the reverent AR?

When you visit the derelict collector ship, you have the choice of the Widow or the Reverent. I'm not sure if the choice is limited by your soldier class or not. I don't remember when I went thru the 1st time if I had a choice or if just the Reverent was there. Any subsequent play thru doesn't give you a different choice so your stuck with whatever choice you made.
