I guess i'll go with Adept. Seems like the best of both worlds. Thanks guys. I'm going to go lose a lot of sleep now. :lol

In my opinion, you're not experiencing Mass Effect if you choose a class that doesn't have any real Biotic ability. Fuck Soldiers and their crappy abilities - if I want to go in gunning everything I'll play MW2.

I am a victim of this. I'm thinking about re-importing my lvl 60 character (can you do this?) and choosing... something else. If not, no big deal but yeah where they sort of streamlined it I think maybe playing a non-soldier class would make it feel a bit less like Gears/charted :lol

Bending tech and biotic abilities around cover is pretty satisfying to me.

Hmmmm... I just missed that. Too bad I already tagged that little redhead assistant and am sexually harassing my crew into oblivion. Sorry Liara, nothing personal.
After checking the video settings I figured out why it was forcing itself to drop to 30fps in conversations back and forth to 60. I guess its just a bug with the dynamic shadows turned on. It's really not worth it to turn it off so i'll deal with it for now. I assume something like this can be patched?
After playing around with the forced AA settings I've finally found the best one that works for me. In my ATI CCC settings I have AA set to 4x Box and AA mode is set to Super-sample. The game looks so much better from when I had it set to 8xMSAA.

Yeah, I definitely didn't get that at all. In fact, since I play my Shepard as loyal to Liara (well, apart from flirting with Kelly), I'm pretty sure I went with "your needs" first and by the time I got around to asking more about
the Shadowbroker, her answer was entirely about her friend and the implication that her entire life now revolves around avenging his death. Struck me as rather shitty there were no dialogue options for Shepard to point out that she died too, but guess that's why.
Sucks that it's so easy to miss, the encounter with Liara is ridiculously disappointing without that.

To be fair... I don't know how anyone couldn't want to do everything. I know it's optional stuff, but I don't exactly consider it optional. And even with that said, it's still longer than the first one.

I think it's a programming error. Or at least I hope it is, because otherwise it's a big screw up.

I was really pissed playing as an adept on my second playthrough on hardcore because EVERYTHING has some sort of shield or armor. All my abilities then appeared red which i took to mean ineffective for 5 hours before i finally understood it as less effective. One warp or incinerate will get rid of that defense but its seems silly to color it like that.
I can't decide on what bonus skill I want for my engineer. I'm thinking Reave, since it takes care of armor and organic enemies, which is what Engineers lack--so I'll have Overload for shielding, Reave for Barriers/Armor, and drones for distraction/explosions. Will play on Insanity, since I just finished Hardcore with my Vanguard.

Finished the game.
10/10 in my books. Not happy with every change and decision made, but the improvements and overall quality of the game outweight the flaws by a considerable margine. I'll go into more detail on my opinions later, because I'm sure you all want to read them.
Saved everyone. Decisions for that were pretty easy if you have full loyalty.

Finished the game the other day.
Put a video on my blog of a pretty funny glitch that was funny and infuriating at the time.
Overall, better than ME1 and a great game. But there's design choices I definitely would not have made. ME1 did loot badly, but it turns out I would have rather had a refinement of that system rather than a complete excision.
Also, the veins and the blurring. Oh my god. I want to choke whoever made that decision. Not only is it unnecessary, but also detrimental to the actual game.

Don't agree with that. Soldiers impact shot is basically the biotic energy ball move like technicians have. And I bought the upgrade to use a teammates power and took mirandas slam move. I got all the benefits of a soldier and I still have biotic ability. Plus I can work off the biotic abilities of my team, like Jacks shockwave to knock an enemy behind cover up into the air and then I switch on my adrenaline and snipe him while the enemy is exposed. Being a soldier has not stopped me from experiencing biotics in the least. Not understanding what modern warfare has to do with anything.Meus Renaissance said:

I went with Warp Ammo. Pretty much the only ammo type you'll ever need.
Barrier/Fort. is good if you plan on actually using charge

Thats strange. I just loaded a save for a character thats on disc 2 and then went back to a character thats on disc 1 but I didn't have to switch discs.

...Or you can rely on yourself for taking the brunt of the damage, and providing the firepower while using your crew for Biotic, and Tech powers?
Finished it. Took me 25 hours with all loyalty quests on normal. I think that's a pretty good length.
Great finish. Not sure what to think about the last boss though. Just nuked him down. :lol
Next up a Paragon playthrough on the highest difficulty, but not sure with which class yet. :/

I liked the last boss in story theory, and what it means for the game / universe lore, but I disliked the execution. I almost exclusively put that down to how it was designed. Like the idea, not a fan of how it ended up. I would have had it look different.
But it was still fun.

ok guys the question i have is should i play this game if i didnt play ME. I really didnt like ME1 because of the technical problems, it drove me nuts. So i wanted to give this one another chance and i really could care less about the choices in ME1 so should i still get it or just forget it?

So, since I already am not being faithful to Liara on this playthrough (she won't remember it when I do my second run!), I guess I'm going all the way?
Somehow, I've wound up telling both Miranda and Tali that I'm interested.:lol This is Persona 4 all over again.
I honestly didn't even really mean to do it; it just kind of happened. I mean, could you turn Tali down?
