I fully agree with this post. It's a tough position because I also agree with Cody, though I have seen instances of DLC absolutely being a must-play and something that really changes the status quo within a game's story. I'm mostly thinking about Mass Effct. I hope that the gameplay and story elements translate properly and work well with whatever Bungie has planned.

Dammit, I still haven't played the last few pieces of Mass Effect DLC. DLC can take away from a game, too. I loved BioShock Infinite before the DLC. Now I just like it.

Mass Effect has this sneaky way of building on the main game through the DLC. It's ultimately DLC, but within that little chunk the game is tweaked and expanded. They've said, especially with the Omega ME3 DLC, that lessons were taken from their multiplayer experience. Having played both to death, I think that shines through.

It makes the DLC more satisfying, because that little chunk is expansion-like. Almost third-way-ish. Skyrim doesn't do this though, because the fundamentals don't change with the DLC, though plenty of cool things are added.
