That's just it. I've downloaded and installed both and accessed my personal terminal and it still isn't there. It's not available on my journal either or the galaxy map. I've already departed the Citadel and have free rein of destinations.Originally Posted by Freya
I guess I'll just try and complete a mission and see if it pops up after that.
So you can't access it? Hmmmmmmmmm. I've never had that happen to me. Ever.
Maybe... uninstall and reinstall the DLC? I mean, you've paid for it, so it isn't like you'll have to pay for it twice.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that it's something I've f**ked-up myself. I just need to figure it out.
You haven't gotten any email messages from random NPCs about it? Hmm... That sucks.That mission is awesome.
Honestly, I'd try backing up the save and reinstalling the game, if you don't think it would take too long.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
No need to back up the save actually since save files are stored separately from game data and aren't deleted when you delete the install files. But I'd say try reinstalling it all as well. A quick google search told me others had DLC problems but I didn't find anything similar to what you're describing.
Any luck Bubba?
Unfortunately not
If one of you can pop over and have a look for me I'd really appreciate it.
Completed an N7 mission though. Update coming!
I'd love to pop over if you can buy me the roundtrip ticket.
Man, my interest to keep playing has dropped since I'm too stupid to figure out what I'm doing wrong with the DLC. I'm already annoyed that there'll be no Mordin.
I should really push on anyway I just hate missing stuff
You're still at the beginning. Take an hour and load your last ME2 save up to beat it with everyone alive. Then, import that save, and you can play through ME3 without the DLC until the very end, which will give you some extra time to figure it out.
...
Also, after doing some googling, it may be version differences. Since the PS3 isn't region locked, you could have a US copy of the trilogy but downloaded UK copies of the DLC. Maybe try downloading the DLC from playstation America?

OK, so after the disappointment of not being able to work out the DLC, Shepard decided to treat his crew to a little R&R... for most of February. Hopefully, the reapers won't have destroyed everything while we've been away.
I completed a reasonably straight forward N7 mission called Cerberus Labs. There were a few tricky fire fights but other than that, not a lot happened. I just dropped some reaper artifacts off at the shuttle whilst also dropping a load of scumbags. It was over relatively quickly. After this we dove straight into another lengthy side quest mission called...
Grisson Academy: Emergency Evacuation
"I believe the children are the future
Teach them well and LET THEM LEAD THE WAY!!"
Garrus' rendition of Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston was cut short by Shepard upon entry to the Grissom Academy. We get it, G-Dog, we're here to save the students.
The classic ME1 team of Shepard, Garrus and Liara are immediately thrust into the action and take out a few goons in the opening corridor. We head into a nearby room and have a chat with an attractive human lady with crazy blue eyes. It turns out those pesky Cerberus jokers are here and are a threat to our students *shakes fist angrily at imaginary Illusive Man*. This lady (Kahlee Sanders) mentions our pal Anderson and asks us to give him a cryptic message. Ooh David you sly, old dog! I get that he's risen quite high through the ranks but he's definitely punching above his weight here!
Kahlee opens the way forward and tells us we need to head to Orion Hall where the students are congregating. We soon come across a student being harassed by a couple of Cerberus pricks. He's cleverly encased himself in a shield so I quickly dispatch the threat and have a chat with him. He tells me to keep an eye out for his sister. I'm a taken man mate but all righty.
More Cerberus dudes make the mistake of crossing our path. Bang bang. You're dead. We get a load of pick-ups before eventually running into that student's sister who was just sat on the floor. I make sure she's OK then explain to her that just because she is in mortal danger, it does not give her excuse to just sit around doing bog all. I also tell her there will be no homework extension as a result of this attack so she better get her arse in gear for the rest of the term.
Finally we arrive at Orion Hall and catch up with students along with... OH SH*T OH SH*T OH SH*T
Shepard faces his most fearsome foe yet... THE EX-GIRLFRIEND. He immediately takes the most obvious course of action...
IMG_6006.JPG
Hide and hope she goes away.
This option was taken from us though as a huge mech enters the hall and starts some sh*t. We help Jack and the students take the big boy down which was easier said than done. My pistols did bog all so I ended up getting up-close-and-personal with my trusty shotgun. Dangerous but effective. We emerge victorious.
The next cut-scene was the most awkward I've ever experienced in all my years of playing video games. The game obviously remembered my hook-up with Jack at the end of ME2 and we both run towards each other and have a full on snog... right in front of Liara. AWKWARD.
After tonguing another woman in front of my girlfriend, I'm then given the option to continue things with Jack or tell her we're over. The actual noise I made whilst playing this section was a long, drawn-out "uuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!" I was hoping I could've done this by text or something but I eventually told her straight that things were over between us. I was expecting to get a full-on punch in the gob but she took it surprisingly well. Now I just need to hope Liara is OK with me. I suppose I'll find out later. Curse me and my philandering ways!
It turns out Jack is actually a teacher here at the academy and is a big fan of the 'tough love' approach. So yeah, she tells them all they are sh*t and need to do better. Harsh.
Next we arrive at the Atrium which is pretty expansive. I told Jack and the students to head to the upper level for their protection. Shepard, Garrus and Liara stepped out into the sh*tstorm that was a massive onslaught. I was here for aaaaaaaages as I had real problems taking out these turrets. I'd destroy one then an engineer would run over and repair it. Bastards!
We eventually won-out but at the expense of numerous deaths for all three of my team. Oh well. We find a group of students in the next room in another protective bubble. They don't trust us in the slightest but one of the men pipes up and says "Commander Shepard... is it really you? I still remember that thing you did for me in the last game. I will be forever grateful." I stare blankly at this guy as I don't remember him in the slightest. "Sure thing...man. Any time."
Continuing our escape, we happen upon a huge mech and his dumb-ass pilot stood just next to it. We take him out and BOOM! Time to wreck the place with our very own mech! It was a bit cumbersome to use but I suppose that is to be expected. It was very enjoyable bonking goons on the head and blowing them up from afar with missiles. These Cerberus troopers seemed to spawn forever and I was getting a bit twitchy as the students I was protecting had a health bar that was gradually diminishing. Me being the legendary hero that I am though, I mopped up the scum and saved the day!
One of the dumber students got herself pinned down in the closing cut-scene but Jack stepped up with her bad-assery and sent the remaining Cerberus tw*ts flying to enable us to make our escape. Mission over!
Tune in next time when Shepard takes a vow of celibacy in order to avoid any future awkward situations.

Oh man, how awkward, ick!
Perhaps its best not to date Liara at all to avoid these awkward situations? Nah, there's no one better to date in ME1. You just have to be heartless in two.
Glad you're back.

Priority Sur'Kesh
In my infinite wisdom, I decided to play through this mission after a few drinks... and continued to drink throughout. My recollections may be a tad hazy though I will give details of my appalling combat performances.
The mission begins in the Normandy briefing room and involved a tense tete-a-tentacle between the Krogan and the Salarians. Tyrannosaurus Wrex (ma boy!) and some tetchy Salarian wench were going at it. Due to my intoxication, the details of the argument were a little lost on me. I'm going to assume it was an argument about the ol' genophage. "Whatever people, LET'S GO KILL THINGS!!"
My drunk self decided to opt for double-boobage in this mission and I went with Liara and EDI. We land on the Salarian planet of Sur'Kesh and are greeted with all the warmth of a white walker in winter. Luckily, a friendly Salarian called Padok stepped forward and calmed the hostilities. I couldn't help but think at this point that I may have alternately been met by a coked-up Salarian scientist if I'd not let him be brutally murdered in ME 2. This thought hit home hard so Shepard took out his acoustic guitar and treated Sur'Kesh to a heart-felt and completely off-key version of The Scientist by Coldplay.
Suitably horrified by this performance, the Salarian guards allowed us access to the compound out of pure fear. In true Shepard-crew style, we were there for all of three minutes before there was a huge explosion and goons appeared out of nowhere. Cerberus had arrived to start some sh*t. After more than a few glasses of Jack Daniels, my aim was true... truly sh*te. Clocking 2 hits out of 10 with my sniper, I decided to equip my shotgun and get up close and personal. We eventually cleared the area.
We are introduced to Alice, the female Krogan. I'm just gonna call her Alice. She's been locked up for own protection (I think!) and it was our task to protect her whilst simultaneously shipping her off Sur'Kesh. My summation of the mission could be a little iffy here... My skills with the sniper rifle could clearly not be trusted at this point so I decided to stick to the shotgun. I was pleasantly surprised by my effectiveness here. I did take quite a bit of damage but I took out the Cerberus posse with very little damage to Alice. Go me!
Oh how I hate turrets and engineers... it has to be said though, they are very efficient at their jobs. When our printer breaks down at work, it takes five days to get an engineer out. When turrets break down, these guys are there within seconds and are braving heavy gunfire. I sincerely hope they are getting hazard pay on top of their basic hourly rate.
Next we had to deal with more of those shield-toting Cerberus dudes that you can shoot through the small slit in the shield. OK, time to sober up and snipe these dudes from afar. Yeah, that didn't happen and eventually EDI and Liara dealt with the threat. Shepard might as well have been throwing potatoes at them.
Ugh, Alice's pod reaches the next checkpoint and decides to just wait there in full view of all the Cerberus agents with guns. Also, her health bar had not regenerated from last time. Time to get the trusty shotgun out again and go kamikazee. This was not as successful as the first time and Alice was down to about a third health by the time I'd staggered around and killed everyone.
I actually picked up a load of cool weapons at this point but decided now was not the time for experimentation. There was one final checkpoint with a couple of burly centurians and more goons. I have no idea how Alice didn't die here. It seemed all I did was lose my shield, hide & recover, stand up then lose my shield again. I can only assume EDI and Liara went above and beyond the call of duty.
Despite my inebriation, I thought I'd held my own quite well until I came face-to-face with a huge mech that had clear anger management issues. Instead of taking shelter and using military tactics to outfox the enemy... I dropped my N7 cargo pants, bent over and let him repeatedly spank my little bottom blue. Yeah, I died a lot. Eventually, I took him down with a combination of grenades, overload and the superior performance of my team mates.
I have a feeling something else happened in this mission that I'm forgetting but we'll just say that it ended here. Shepard received a hundred-gun salute from the Salarians, a commendation from the council and a jolly-old rogering from Liara back in her Normandy quarters. (SPOILER)This may or may not have happened.
Tune in next time when Shepard's leadership is called into question as he has no idea why they went to Sur'Kesh in the first place.
