Need? Anyway, I guess 'yes'? Sorta? A quality 1 DLC and maybe some further better patching would have made me go meh about the whole thing still, but end with MEA at/around a 8/10 (instead of 7/10) imo, and just caring more about how they're going to make the series better with another title. As it is, if lets say Anthem and maybe DA4 isn't what they hoped for and they try to bring ME back, I'll be figuratively crossing my arms with a skeptical look.

They already fixed the most glaring issues, so I moved past the launch a long while ago. DLC really would have been nice though...

I think if Anthem fails, EA will close Bioware Edmonton and disband the entire studio.

I wasn't all that invested in the idea of a Quarian Ark DLC. I know they basically said it was coming but it felt more like pandering than necessarily a good idea. I think the mystery around the benefactor, Jien Garson, and the Ryder parents was a glaring omission from the series story. That stuff needed to be resolved although it should have ideally been in the main game.

I don't think I can ever forgive them for giving MEA to the B team so the A team could work on Anthem.

Idk about letting it slide, but a Quarian DLC would've been really cool provided it was well handled.

Need? I guess that is no. Considering the game was a disaster I doubt the dlc would have been good anyway. Why would I forgive them for a botched launch when I will never forgive them for the abomination of a game that was Andromeda.

Not really, because although I do know that I will buy the DLC and I will enjoy it, their half-assed treatment to the game bearing the name of one of their beloved franchises is the whole reason why we are all in this mess after all.

This question just continues the false notion that the bugs and animations were the only major issues with the game. I figure if people liked the game they would love DLC. People who didn't like the game probably wouldn't even buy the DLC, let alone give a pass on their issues with the game.

Yes. I was expecting this dlc to address some things they'd done poorly in the base game, as well as add depth to the story. For the record, I don't believe BioWare intended to address the quarian ark in a novel. I believe that they expected dlc to happen but changed their minds. So, yes, I think they are lying that it was never intended.

No. Wouldn't have bought any DLC anyway since the reason I didn't like MEA had nothing to do with the bugs they patched.
The writing, open world and quest design was boring. Why would I want more of that?

Honestly though this post makes two faulty premisses. A. That MEAs launch was botched or B. that it would need dlc to make up for it.
Was MEA perfect at launch? No. But its Herculean effort to fix it makes it a very stable, beautiful, game. More so then a lot of its competitors.
Combined with the rest of the quality in this game makes it an awesome experience.

One dlc would have made the game feel more complete and would serve as a good "hey we screwed up back there" message for the fanbase. there's nothing indicating the game's revenue would have dipped into the red with the expense of making just one smaller scale sp dlc.

There is some weird logic going on in this thread.
Firstly, how on Earth could anyone deny that the launch was botched? I thorouhly enjoyed MEA in its launch state but surely even the game's most ardent supporters have to concede that it simply wasn't ready for release in March (at least, if they want to be taken seriously). The fact that they worked so hard to patch glitches and improve animations is proof enough.
Secondly, just because some people didn't like MEA's open worlds, dialogue, story, enemies, characters, etc, doesn't mean that the same problems would have been present in the DLC. If the DLC was given to a more experienced crew (eg from Edmonton) then they could have addressed any/all of those areas. New locations could have been tighter and better designed, characters could have been given more nuanced dialogue, new enemies could have been introduced... The only things they couldn't have improved are core mechanics like the 3-power limit and the lack of squad controls. I hate these limitations but I would happily overlook them for a good side story.

I am a very easy going guy. A quality DLC would not be required to get back into my good graces. What is required is contrition and acknowledgement, so that I am confident it will not repeated in the future. To me, that is much more vaulable and re-assuring than a DLC.
I never forgave them for the ME3 ending.The ending lacked narrative coherence and introduced a whole bunch of new issues in the last 10 seconds of the game. And it was not peer reviewed or subject to the same internal scurtiny like all the other storylines. Yes I know some fanboys really loved it but what hurt most about it was all the vitriol directed at the fans and the complete lack of contrition from Bioware. With MEA and subsequent dropping of the ME universe, I have gone past angry to simply not caring anymore.
So moving forward I really am not interested in any of the BW projects because...well I realized its not the same company that brought me ME1 &2, DAO, or KOTOR among others. DA4, Anthem and what not do not really capture my attention right now. Thats why contrition and acknowledgement would be worth so much more to me than a single DLC.

I wouldn't say the launch was botched so much as most of the 5 years leading up to it. A quality dlc would have improved the opinion of the game, but that would have relied on Bioware making a quality dlc, not an average or worse one...
