Mass Effect 3

[Snadinator]

I only really like Paragon, but I liked the Renegade choice with that reporter, and with that merc in the tower in the recruit Thane mission. I save the game right before those. "I hope you can fly"

Have you tried playing it entirely as Renegade? For me personally, it's not evil, it's about getting the job done and not dealing with BS. It strikes me as a much truer approach to dealing with a galactic crisis.

 

[Snadinator]

I agree about shockwave. It makes all the difference with husks. If you DON'T have shockwave though, its pretty brutal. The nuke really is the best there, you are correct.

If you don't have shockwave, I'd bring Jack with ya. I happened to be a Vanguard so I did have it. I'd use Warp ammo to knock off the armor and only the armor on the immediate wave of husks and then chuck a shockwave which would instantly kill them all.

Well, I also like my female Shepard to be pretty. I could buy the med station that keeps her pretty regardless of actions, but I don't seem to have the money.

Scan more worlds to get the facelift done.

The FemShep is a lie.

I play Paragon as well, but I do make Renegade choices depending on the situation, like with that Merc in the tower, with that wanker krogen before Grunt's LM, and during the interrogation scene in Thane's LM. All times when I would actually get annoyed/pissed off and probably do something similar.

I destroy the base.
I agree on that IFF mission, especially when you get to the part where you must destroy that reactor or whatever at the end. Never-ending husks. It's almost impossible. I've completed the game on Insanity, by the way.
I can't say I felt sorry for the collectors. Actually I felt great anxiety when the leader escaped. I kind of felt fear at the ships in orbit around Earth, but then I guess I realized this is just a game..
The Horizon mission is also a major pain. Granted, it would be easier if I turned down the difficulty, but still...
I really like the Kasumi missions, the Jacob loyalty mission, and I love the scenery of the Overlord mission, but the last part of that mission just creeps me out so much I don't want to do it anymore. The Lair of The Shadow Broker is also a favorite. Recruiting Samara is really great. Very few do I not like.
Of course the Suicide mission is what it is all about. The story cut scenes are epic. The music is epic. I have played the game through 3 times and sort of experimented with a few other builds. I like Adept the most.

I've completed the game on Insanity as well. No easy feat.

Of the shockwave power makes those husks quite easy and the only heavy weapon worth using IMO is the nuke. Makes the reactor, even on insanity a hell of a lot easier.

I never took Jack with me and I have Reave as my power - which doesn't help with the husks. For my heave weapon, I always loved the Collector particle beam.

The only way I could handle the husks was just by giving myself a lot of room to run around so I wouldn't get surrounded...Running and shooting and keep my two team mates in the open and together so they can have eachother's backs while I run around and try and draw some away. Then when you throw in the damn Scions, I just want to scream.

 

[Phenix]

I never really had a problem with the IFF mission. Either me or one of my squad members usually had shockwave or other area effect power and would just blow through the husks. The Scions were always annoying to me, but I usually had warp, armor piercing, or incindiary ammo to bring down their armor quickly.

That weapon is weak and a waste of precious heavy ammo. On Insanity, the Nuke is the only way to go as there are a few scenarios where it will save you a ton of hardship. Specifically, certain ridiculous situations on Insanity involving bosses.

Dunno, it seems to cut through everything like a hot knife through butter. That nuke you mention seems like a fun thing to have just to do. I might want to try and get that.

I remember finally beating it on Insanity and I actually felt like I accomplished something.

The Arc Projector is totally the one to use when there are lots of enemies in a small space, like when they come out of the elevator on the Kasumi loyalty mission. It's damn devastating to like 6 at once. 3 shots and it's over. All shielded mercs.

The key is being patient, using cover a lot, being careful with tactics, and conserving ammo. I ran out of ammo on the recruit Mordin mission on insanity. Then trying to take down the snipers on the far ledge with only powers that are too far out of range to get a lock on... It's actually harder on Insanity when you first start the game than when you finish. Once you get your weapons upgraded a bit, it becomes tremendously easier. It's just those first few missions that are difficult.

There were sometimes when even if you did this, I wanted to throw my controller out of the window (the collector's ship reminds me of that).

On insanity, which I've gone through twice, I've found that none of the heavy weapons offered anything of real use that I couldn't do just as easily with an appropriate mix of tech, biotics and ammo types.

However on Insanity there are some areas that are ridiculous in their difficulty (such as the IFF generator or those floating orb things). Nukes make those a joke. I found saving your heavy ammo for the nuke was the easiest route. Even the last boss is a joke with a Nuke.

 

[Kibagami]

Did you guys purchase all the DLCs? I'm planning to do so and wondering if there was a reason not to get them all.

I'd only get Overlord and the Liana one. I played them all and thought the others were a little lame.

My copy came with some free DLC, I got Zaeed and some other missions but I'm curious about getting Kasumi and shadow broker ones.

If you have the ms points or ps cash I would pick up all of the DLC especially the Shadow Broker one it is awesome and the Arrival is not too shabby either.
