I’ll never really get over how in Mass Effect 3, they locked one of the fairly plot related companions behind a paid DLC on release, despite being a fully fleshed out character with fully fleshed out interactions, connected to the main story. Javik fits so seamlessly into the story, it’s as if he was never intended to be DLC, which I believe was actually the case. The previous game did something similar, except they were additions to the game that came later and with their own story, missions and additional gear. Oh, and ME3 introduced micro transactions to the franchise, so there is that too.
