The time has come !

At least we got the penis ... oh I meant the Tuchanka grit for the Nomad. But in all fairness, the outfit was fucked up as hell. Same basic mesh, only a little bit of fiddling to make it even more fugly than the other outfits. But there were a series of real fixes for other issues. Most of all, finally deleting the cap on VAP.

They've made the majority of their sales by now... what with the ridicule and bad reviews, there's not really any point to releasing more patches when it won't result in more sales - that's why the facial fix came so quickly.

Multiplayer is where the stream of $$$ keeps coming in, so that's where EA will focus Biowares efforts.

Some might argue that a delay was exactly what ME:A needed back in March.

BTW: Kudos, when opening this thread, I looked at your avatar, then read the OP and misread the first sentence as:

"I am checking Mike Garibaldi's twitter account quite often now [...]"

So, thank you for that laugh, my dear dear friend, yes?

Dragon Age 2 was heavily criticized by the fanbase but got two solid DLCs plus was going to get a third in the "Exalted March" expansion before BioWare decided to focus their resources on learning the the Frostbite 3 engine and gearing up for the next gen consoles.

Is it possible?  Sure, they might stop at one but that would be the first time, for either Mass Effect or Dragon Age, that BioWare stopped at 1 DLC so, in other words, it would be pretty unprecedented.

1 DLC is likewly 2 if we're lucky and things pick up but that's based on the reception thae gam got which was not very good. I'm not saying I wouldn't want more as I would as I like the game but because of how the reviews went those of us who do like it I think will have to be realistic and just take what we can get. Because it doesn't look like we'll get as much as normal.

One shouldn't forget that there's a business plan behind all these decisions. If the company, or the mother company, in this case EA, expects a significant revenue from creating DLCsm there will be DLCs. If not then not. I'm very sure that the Quarian one is coming, but apart from that it's anyone's guess. We're not privy to their expectations and what it would cost in manpower and resources to produce another one. As compared to their expected gains. MP DLCs are easy to produce and make it easy to prey on dumbasses forking out for microtransactions. So my guess is, these will be spammed in the near future. Which, depending on the success of the con, will ultimately determine if there's another SP DLC on the horizon to keep people hooked.

Also, don't forget that the single player DLC could be handed to a third party. Sinlcair Networks, the third party company working on the patches for ME:A, has done single player DLC for UbiSoft and Rockstar. Instead of using BioWare Montreal or Edmonton, Sinclair could easily complete the task if BioWare/EA wanted to go that direction.

Of course they won't do it for free but the cost of engaging a third party may be less than retaining staff at BioWare Montreal who can now turn their attention to Battlefront II which absolutely has to be polished and done in time for Christmas.  

*soon

Is there anything that proves that Bioware is near the finish line for the dlc?

Wait, why was it ham-fisted again? Honestly, I was sort of waiting for some kind of info drop somewhere after Tann's dialogue which pretty much tells you that a Quarian ark exists.
