Rescue Dr. Kenson Mission ME2- potential spoilers

[Mr. Bufferlow]

I was cleaning up any left over missions and systems not 100% explored when I found this mission. I guess it was given early on but never got around to it.

I was shocked at how good it was. In a lot of ways the story is more compelling then the final collector mission. I found it pretty hard since you have to do it solo. I got pretty spoiled having two helpers.

Is there a way to save the Doctor in the end?

I just did this mission on Insanity and survived the "horde mode" part. Kind of an absolute drag that no matter what you still get captured?? What the heck is the point of slaughtering all those enemies for no achievement/bonus scenes?

The original had an achievement tied to doing that. The LE version does not.

Dang. DLC seems kind of rushed.

Wow! I guess I learned something....I just assumed the whole point was that you were not going to survive it. At some point, I just kind of gave up because the NPCs just kept spawning...I kind of figured it must have a kicker. It would be an achievement to get them all.

The only difference if you survive the horde is that Harbinger forces you to be knocked out with the Reaper relic. And the original ME3 gave an achievement for surviving the horde while the LE does not. Otherwise it's the same outcome regardless of you "surviving" all the waves.

TLDR: For the LE version just let them knock you out if you want to save time.

Ahem... Arrival is like most important story mission, connecting plot between ME2 and ME3.

Not really, if you skip it then Alliance would try to do it by themselves with the same result. The mission by itself is more or less annoying since you just fight hordes over there and nothing else. .

Its purpose is more or less just to get shepard to where he needs to be in the start of mass effect 3.


In my opinion the dlc is okay, but it offers practically nothing. The knockout-thing is contrived, Kenson going from normal to indocrtrinated in the blink of an eye is weird, does not offer anything in terms of characters, forgettable music and very dull landscape.
