So what does everyone think of Overlord?

I was extremely happy with it. I didn't think it was going to be that great; I expected something along the lines of Firewalker. Aite's landscape was brilliant. The atmosphere of the missions was very very creepy and tense, especially Prometheus. The strange behaviour of Overlord was kinda humorous in places (the scared mech at Vulcan, etc), but when I realised why he acted like this, it wasn't humorous at all. 

[spoiler] Everything became clear when David assumed direct control of Shepard at Atlas, and what happened after you saved EDI from David [/spoiler]

Thanks to the amazing twist, this is my favorite ME2 DLC so far.

I thought I would be the first to post about Overlord, buy you beat me to it. :)

I agree, the DLC is really good.

It took me about 2 hours to beat on Normal, if anyone is wondering.

I wish there was more dialog, but oh well.

Overall integration of Hummerhead and on foot missions is pretty good, although you still cannot save while in Hummerhead. 

The atmosphere is really great, especially in eh.. let's say, Geth vessel.

Imho, it is worth the price. :)

I downloaded it last thursday night but didn't play it 'till today (because I rented Skate 3 on Friday)

It was really creepy, especially whenever the Overlord tries to communicate with you...and all of the dead bodies thrown about in strange positions was a little disturbing at times...and the entire Geth ship or whatever it was...

I took Legion with me on the mission and there was some special dialogue reffering to him...I like little things like that...

Something else about this DLC; it made me realize how much better planet exploration (like in the first ME) would've been if we could use the Hammerhead...

I really enjoyed Overlord but I thought it was so **** up at the exact same time because I mean how could that dude do that? I just thought it was a sad yet very fun DLC expansion :D

I didn't buy the DLC..... Yet, is it good? How many hours to beat it? I hope it's not disappointing like Kasumi DLC :)

Well i played Overlord last weekend and it was great, i played with Kjeva (my renegade character), i didn't see her for a long time so it was nice remeeting her, whatever i really enjoyed Overlord, mostly because i love the Geth and if you already played Overlord you know what happen on those Cerberus facilities. Also, as many others have said, the landscape is beautiful

I took Legion with me on the mission and there was some special dialogue reffering to him...I like little things like that...majinstrings

I had the same experience, little things like that is what makes a great game

i loved overlord, it was creepy, sad and humurous in some places. it had enough gameplay, and im hoping the grissom academy is a place we get to visit in ME3. Also the environments in overlord were awesome, i love the hammerhead it is sooo much better than the tank. I understand the armor problems, but at least it has good agility, and makes for some fun platforming in this dlc
