What is the best time for DLC in ME3? Some said after finishing the game and some said during the play so can you help me with that decision?

Thanks

(Don't forget to sign your posts!) It depends what you mean by 'best'. Things to consider are whether it makes sense in terms of the story; whether you want the weapons/credits/items that the DLC gives; whether you want the big experience boost that many of the DLC give. As an example, I base the decisions on how well the DLCs fit the story. I do Priority: Eden Prime after Priority: Palaven, so that Javik is available for a lot of the game. I start Leviathan after the Cerberus attack on the Citadel, AND after locking in a romance, AND after having done Kallini: Ardat-Yakshi Monastery. This is because there are extra dialogue lines with locked-in romance squadmates that I didn't want to miss, and it didn't make sense to me that the squad would recognise a banshee during Leviathan: Find Garneau, but would then act as if they were encountering them for the first time at the monastery.
I do the Omega mission after Priority: Tuchanka and before the Cerberus attack, because story-wise, it feels like there isn't anything absolutely urgent that Shepard would think needed doing immediately at that point. Shepard gains at least ten levels of experience during the Omega mission, and I prefer to do that a bit later in the game, rather than have Shepard be very powerful very early on. After Priority: Rannoch feels like a good time to start the Citadel: Shore Leave mission, and it also gives time to have the little meet-ups with squadmates. I leave the party until after Priority: Horizon, so that Miranda can attend. -Sophia (talk) 10:36, November 6, 2014 (UTC)


Eden Prime - After Priority: Palaven
Leviathan - After Priority: Thessia
Omega - After The Citadel Coup
Citadel - After Priority: Horizon

Last time I did it I did Eden Prime straight after Palaven and Omega right after the coup. With Leviathan I did it in stages after finishing main quest lines (first mission after Eden Prime, second after the Coup, third after Rannoch). With Citadel I always leave it until after the main game, making it the other story mentioned by the Stargazer - also means I save the very best for last. Garhdo (talk) 01:44, November 8, 2014 (UTC)
