Hints about new DLC for Mass Effect found in PC version?

Hints about new DLC for Mass Effect found in PC version?

A curious member of Bioware's community forums named raptor3x was digging around in the configuration files for the PC version of Mass Effect today. He found what could possible be a hint at future downloadable content for everyone's favorite space-opera RPG.

It looks like their might be four releases of DLC for Mass Effect. Here is the forum post:

"I was poking around the config files, specifically ../Mass Effect/BioGame/Config/DefaultEngine and found something pretty interesting about a quarter of the way through the file.

Hmmn, tried pasting the interesting section but it won't let me. Anyways, go into that files and look for the Jan 26, 2007 and Aug 1, 2007 entries.

It would seem to indicate that there were at least four DLC episodes planned when this was written with one being Mars, another being Caleston (from the commercial?), and two others, one of which (DLC_UNC) is probably the Bring Down the Sky DLC."

If only I had the game handy I would dig a little deeper -- perhaps if anyone has the PC version of the game, and is interested in such things, they can dive further into the config files looking for anymore interesting tidbits.
