    Best RPG I have ever played. If you don't have it, no reason not to buy it at this price. Hold off Dragon Age for a while.

    Great deal for a great game.

    How does DLC work with Steam? Like if a new ME DLC came out tomorrow, would I be able to download and install it from the Bioware site or would I have to wait for it to be released through Steam?

    One of my roommates has ME for the 360, but I bought a copy for myself right now for the PC. For $10 you can't go wrong with this game at all. Heck, for the regular price of $20 it's totally worth it.

    DLC is usually available right away from Steam and the game auto-updates for you (if the DLC is free).

    Well worth $10. Should keep you busy for about 15 hour or so.

    Depends now many of the side missions (assignments) you do. It can easily last you over 20 hours.

    On my longest playthrough, all sidequests and Hardcore difficulty, it took me 30+ hours.
