Discovered this. Shepard is a creep.

I hated the Citadel DLC so much that I can't even bring myself to click 'play' here. I'm sure it is incredibly creepy though, and massively out of character for both parties, and contains both of them wearing Groucho masks and clown wigs as they act out the highest-rated fanfic scripts on the Bioware forums to uproarious applause, and then sing a song and go on a fucking date to the local arcade, which is exactly where two hardened space marines would go when they're in the middle of being the fucking spearhead of the largest war in the history of the galaxy and one of them is solely responsible for its success and has been having nightmares because of the pressure LET'S GO TO THE FUCKING ARCADE.
Just reading the words 'James Vega Romance' makes me want to punch a hole through my screen. God damn Citadel DLC, you put a romance with James in there too?!? Why not a romance with fucking Harbinger too, Jesus God I hate the Citadel DLC so much (continued in my house for several more pages)

I haven't played it yet. Is it really bad?? I was planning to get it for my birthday.
The video, though, is essentially Shep pressuring James into porking, him saying no, so Shepard getting him drunk and pouncing on him. I was disturbed.

Uggghhhhh.
As for whether it's bad - in all seriousness - YES but I'm in the minority. I don't know whether you'd agree with me or not. It was a big success. But I deleted it after the main plotline was done and the party began out of digust.
It's...... got a lot of jokes, a lot of fanservice, and the main plot concerns something that I (and apparently only I) found completely ridiculous.

No I agree Buch If Shepard isn't in a relationship then it's almost as if you're pressured in pursuing Vega, don't know if you agree or not with that but that's how I saw it.
It sits better if in a relationship already yet you can't go deeper with the relationship, like the end of party bed with liara and that's it

Well my Shepard was in a relationship with Kaidan and I deleted the DLC before I got to anything involving James, so I don't know about this bit in particular.
Seriously though Scarin we might be leading you down the wrong way here - most people liked the Citadel DLC a lot.

Best day one DLC ever.

Best thing really to do is play it and draw your own conclusion Think that's a good neutral peace of advice lol

I intend to get Citadel for my birthday, so I'll know soon enough.
The main point is that Shep is a creeper. Poor James.

I don't fucking care if there's more fan service for the femsheps that romance Garrus, my Shepard can't DANCE for fucks sake. But anyway, it's your call Rascarin. Lots of people like it. I guess we're one of the few who in the minority.

It was out of character, but had a lot of good character moments. Would have been better if it wasn't so obviously shoehorned. (The DLC, not the James romance)

From what I've read, the premise of it does sound a bit.... silly. All I really know is that there is a Shepard clone (!?!), and you throw a party. Will still get it, though.

Singalong mode is still worse, though. From what I've read, the premise of it does sound a bit.... silly. All I really know is that there is a Shepard clone (!?!), and you throw a party. Will still get it, though. They don't even have a British accent, and you don't engage them in a shirtless fistfight atop a Reaper.

That about sums it up. Lots of gags though. They poke fun at a lot of obvious things the game missed.

A straight-up 'evil twin' clone, yeah. That was the point when I went off the deep end. That's the story. After that you're free to explore a few new luxury areas on the Citadel, including an arcade and a shooting gallery. And then you throw a party with your squad members past and present. About a million insultingly fouth-wall-breaking jokes in all three sections....... but I'll shut up. The clone is the main twist in the plot. I won't say any more though because there are one or two other surprises, less appalling ones, and it would be spoiling it.
