    Overall, I would say this DLC Should have been free. I bought DDE from Origin so I got it anyway as a bundle... but compared to other mass effect DLCs of the past, this one is tiny in comparison, and that's pretty bad as most mass effect DLCs of the past were fairly small by industry standards vs. purchase price. actual extra gameplay for This DLC is roughly 20-30 minutes to get theOverall, I would say this DLC Should have been free.

Aside from a few funny jokes, I think they should have named the prothean "Captain Bring-down," as he puts a negative or depressing twist on everything. As I am reviewing the actual DLC, and not Bioware's marketing Ethics, I am heavily knocking down this DLC due to much of its content being dependent on the actual game itself through dialogue from the original game and main missions of the original game. what little content that is exclusive to this DLC (Eden Prime mission to get the prothean), I would say this DLC is comparable to Zaeed's DLC for ME2 (which was free on day 1 by the way). Both Zaeed's DLC and From Ashes share a similar amount of new content and dialogue. the only difference is this DLC gives new outfits and a crappy phaser rifle, while Zaeed's gave a flame thrower and weapon research.
    Again, Comparing Apples to Applies (From Ashes vs. Zaeed DLC), I would say base on price and quality of content I cannot justify any more than a 6/10, and I think I am being very generous.    … Expand

    This DLC is worthwhile when judged based solely on content. The Promethean character is enlightening in so many different areas of his society, and provides a sharp contrast to the holistic views espoused by the characters in ME1 and ME2. So why is it rated a 5? Because it should have been made part of the game.

The DLC is just an attempt to control the used game market (already controlled through Origin and the registration key) and to milk the fan base for additional funds - for a game that I rate a 2, overall.… Expand
