Mass Effect

[Neir]

It's not possible to change class midgame, is it?

[SeiKeo]

Not unless you want to hack save files, and I don't think we can do that with 3 yet.

[Five_X]

Well, no.

Unless you're a Soldier, 'cause their play style is often, "SO WHICH CLASS DO YOU WANT TO PRETEND TO BE TODAY?"

Adrenaline Rush is cool, but not nearly the juggernaut that was Immunity in ME1.

[Santo]

Vanguard: Always be Charging.

Because Charge refills your Nova.

Don't even have Nova specked (n,n)

I always outlive any other Vanguard in the field.

[I3uster]

Immunity was a game breaker.
Seriously, once you could riskfree melee the most dangerous opponent in the game to death there isn't anything left to do. Congratulations, you turned Mass Effect into a visual novel.

[Neir]

Just talking about me2, though. No change, huh? So I can't use weapons like assault or sniper rifles as a vanguard?

[I3uster]

Slight spoiler: During lategame you can choose to either take up a new weapon category or get your hands on the Claymore shotgun, aka THE FAMED DEATHBRINGER.

[SeiKeo]

That you can do.

[Techlet]

Don't even have Nova specked (n,n)

Then dafuq have you been doing as a manguard?

[Neir]

Well, right now I love my carnifex.

Could never stomach the use of the Claymore...too slow.

Reload cancel with more Charge and/or melee.

[Santo]

That's the thing though...My main way of offense is always shooting. Charge and melee are more a counter-charge thing for me :3c

As I stated earlier, most of my kills come from shooting. In ME3 I refuse to even speck Nova in.

[I3uster]

I am just too OCD about this. I know that the Widow is clearly the better choice for the Soldier and still picked the Revenant, becuase nobody else can pick it. Same for Infiltrator and Shotguns, or Vanguards and ARs.

[Five_X]

Revenant is best for Soldier (unless you've got Mattock, then all other guns are a joke), Widow is best overall, and Claymore... just kinda sucks, y'know? Just stick with the Eviscerator.

[Seika]

The MANGUARD thing always amuses me. My first character through ME1 was a Vanguard (yes, I used them before they got Charge and became cool). The same character was used for my first runs of ME2 and ME3. And she was a woman. The women were there before you, so you can all sod off.

(Also, ME3 Engineer vs. Geth is a thing of beauty. Fuck your blue space magic, I have ... other blue space magic? )

[Five_X]

You have orange sabotage magic, Seika. The only sort you need against Cerberus and Geth.

Those poor Cerbie Engineers...

Energy Drain is a more consistent life-saver. And it does better against multiple Geth than Sabotage in most cases (other cases being lolihackedaprime).

[Five_X]

But with Sabotage, you can hack turrets, and utterly invalidate them. It's a real life-saver.

And, as Leo has proved in a couple of our games, a Quarian Infiltrator can totally solo a wave of Silver Geth with Sabotage. Fantastic power, it is.

[Elyrin]

Running around like an idiot and exploding things is just so much fun. I don't need your silly tech powers.
