Dude, did you download “Bring Down the Sky,” the episodic DLC for “Mass Effect”?

No. Why, is it bad?

I finally tried to play it last night and, dude, it’s unbelievable. I mean, in a bad way. Apparently it’s, like, a whole new planet with a new mission, which is awesome. But get this: In order to travel to the planet, you have to be on board the SSV Normandy where you can access the galaxy map.
That means you have to either:
1) Have a save file on your hard drive from a point in your previously played campaign during which you were on board the Normandy, or …
2) Play the first two levels of the game all over again (roughly 2-3 hours) to get back to the ship.
The only save file I have is from the final battle with Saren. So if I want to play the DLC I paid for, I’ll have to start over and play through the game from the beginning. Can you believe that crap?

That’s messed up. I read some short reviews and neither mentioned that.

Same here, which is why I’m super-pissed. I mean, there are worse things in life than playing through “Mass Effect” again, but I shouldn’t have to re-play hours worth of action to get to the new content I just purchased. But, hey, BioWare already has my money. What do they care?
You know, I should blog this. Save someone from finding themselves in the same annoying situation.
