On the Mass Effect DLC

Woohoo!

However...

From a development point of view, wouldn't it have been easier to clean up or expand on things hinted at in the main game? Like the Salarians - why did the Reavers seem to know "everything" about the Galaxy and Citadel defenses? Aren't the Salarians sorta proud about knowing everything? What about making somebody pay for the Genophage? What about a mission to root out the Secret Evil Science Dudes who apparently operate at the behest of the Council? You could do all this with existing assets and a new planet map or two. This first chapter just makes it into "Shepard, Galactic Cop on a 911 Call" rather than a realization of Shepard's new role and prominence in the Galaxy.

And of course I'm shelling out the $ for it...
