Play It Again Sports in Corvallis Oregon
| ok, got mass effect 1 in the steam sale, and remembered that i actually played information technology and beat information technology before, and kept the files around. so i installed and dug them upwardly. turns out i last played in on 2008-08-25. close enough to three years for ME. i call up that rather than play it over again, i decided to put it aside till i'd upgraded. anyway, here's my question: i've unlocked all the weapons and level 51-60. practice i start a new game with the quondam level 50 grapheme, or starting time from scratch? what would gesc practice? oh, and (resized) screenshots of the loveable "psycho shepard" (i was and so creative in my youth). i'd almost forgotten how ugly i'd managed to make him! oh aye, another question: isn't there some sort of (free?) dlc for this? |

It'due south up to yous. I should note that the more medals/achievements you have from ME1 the more than freebies you get when starting ME2, so if you haven't played the 2nd I'd finish those off. Generally though 51-sixty is a much easier game than 1-50, assuming your grapheme has a skilful build. Quote: oh aye, some other question: isn't at that place some sort of (gratis?) dlc for this? Bring Down the Sky, released for free with the PC version. |
| here's the build - i'm rather surprise i don't have charm college, am i missing out by starting the campaign with it depression? Spoiler: bear witness also, where do i go the dlc? that page in the options is empty. edit: apparently, i've got a lot of stuff in my inventory. Spoiler: show ...i'thousand thinking i might start from scratch, with one of those complicated less shooty-boomy classes. |
| pauli wrote: here'due south the build - i'g rather surprise i don't have charm higher, am i missing out past starting the campaign with it low? You don't demand either Charm or Intimidate to complete the game. The skills do make certain parts easier, just every bit your Paragon/Renegade gauges go upwards y'all'll get points in those skills automatically. (Upwards to four in a single playthough.) Not putting points in matters only in Insanity difficulty, where you lot need every concluding one in a combat related skill. Quote: also, where practice i go the dlc? that page in the options is empty. Information technology was a totally separate download. The EXE is here, but the rest of the links don't seem to work. I think y'all demand to contact EA support for the primal. Quote: edit: apparently, i've got a lot of stuff in my inventory. Edit the INI file to ready those arbitrarily low limits. Information technology'south the BioInventory section in BIOGame.ini in the Mass Consequence Directory. |
| aha, at present i see. charm and intimidate are divide skills. that would explicate information technology; i was playing as an asshole. and, yeah, i'm seeing that beyond the sky is a typical EA back up disaster. ugh. |
| pauli wrote: anyway, hither's my question: i've unlocked all the weapons and level 51-60. practice i outset a new game with the former level 50 graphic symbol, or start from scratch? what would gesc do? If you lot take a burning want to hit level 60 you lot'll demand to play the same character, yous tin can't hit 60 in one run with a character. That said, offset a new one. Play a different class, and play as female Shepard. FemShep voice acting is better, plus, you know, different is proficient for replay value. Since you were evidently a soldier, try an adept, vanguard, or infiltrator. (Engineer and sentinel are meh, they're playable for sure just not as good equally the others) My personal suggestion would exist adept, merely because it is the most different from soldier. |
| Psycho shepard terrifies me. Simply wanted to get that off my chest |
| I'd replay the graphic symbol and become him upwards to level 60. Believe it or not, that will still exist a claiming if yous are in the lower 50s. I got a character to level 57 in one playthrough once, and information technology however took about two/3 of the adjacent playthrough to get to level 60. The jump from 59 to threescore is massive. At least, do this if you intend to import him into ME2, every bit information technology will give you better import bonuses. And, I 2nd vishnu about starting a femShep, and will further go on to recommend either an Infiltrator or a Vanguard. As a soldier, there'southward a adept chance you've got several of the Weapons achievements, which ways you can cull to outfit your graphic symbol with extra weapon training (I've had a blast with Infiltrator+AR and Vanguard+Sniper). Go Vanguard if you desire to use biotics; go infiltrator if you are willing to leave Biotics up to Kaidan, Wrex, or Liara and yous want absurd tech stuff. |
| after realizing that psycho shepard was a lot to deal with cold, i started a paragonical femshep sentinel, just to go something as different as possible (by which i mean something that lets me get every bit many different achievements as possible), on hardcore, with assault rifles (i've got all the weapons unlocked, iirc). this is challenging! i'm currently in novaria with wrex and ashley. my biggest problems are a: being oneshotted, and b: being rushed. because i can't directly put points into armor or hp. but i'm charming, and i can unlock things. throw is nice, too, though i haven't had a chance to put points into it. toying with restarting equally something more playable. after i stop this, i'll practice my 2nd playthrough as psycho shepard, considering he'south got much better phonation acting (especially the asshole/renegade options). it matches his confront! |

Assuming playable = powerful it goes something like this: soldier > burglar > proficient > vanguard > sentinel > engineer. But all of them are playable. I liked ME only a little as well much, and so I crush it on insanity with every form. Apparently soldier and infiltrator are the easiest because you get invulnerability, but if y'all're willing to manually control your entire political party's power apply you can finer lock down all damage coming from opponents instead of making yourself immune to harm. The idea is to rotate abilities (throw, lift, demolition, stasis, singularity) to keep the enemies unable to shoot you lot. Don't demolition krogans though, they'll but charge you. edit: likewise if y'all do re-roll and end upward going with a pistol class, consider actually using the pistol instead of taking set on rilfe bonus power. With the activate power on the pistol information technology's the highest DPS gun in the game, and works at almost every bit long range as the assault rifle anyway. I recommend shotgun equally a bonus power, put some sledgehammer rounds in that sucker and just use it to knock guys who get likewise close to you on their ass when throw is on cooldown. |
| Adept, especially in ME1, is the almost brokenly powerful form. It'll be real crude for the offset x levels, simply you'll be able to map-eject murder everyone thereafter. Immunity? Doesn't matter when I warp you lot through the skybox. I'd put Infiltrator a lot lower than you would in ME1 and bandy sentinel up one space, but other than that I think y'all're on target. |
| Psion wrote: I'd put Infiltrator a lot lower than yous would in ME1 and swap spotter up one space, but other than that I call up you're on target. (Commando) Infiltrator combines the best soldier skills with the all-time engineer skills, gives massive boosts to the two all-time weapons (pistols and sniper rifles) and is the only grade that has massive built in heat reduction on meridian of what you lot'd get through gear. I'd rate it more like: Burglar = Good > Soldier > Vanguard > Sentinel > Engineer The big negative to (Bastion) Adept is that while nothing tin harm you, your damage output is pretty crappy - you lot have to rely on your squadmates to kill things, and the AI is quite brain dead at times. |
| Ulf wrote: Infiltrator = Adept > Soldier > Vanguard > Sentinel > Engineer soldiers and infiltrators but can't dice. Accept a party member warp/overload to fix enemy amnesty and y'all're laughing. Adept is crazy powerful, only is physically capable of dying, which puts it beneath infiltrator and soldier. Quote: The big negative to (Bastion) Adept is that while nothing tin harm yous, your damage output is pretty crappy - you have to rely on your squadmates to impale things, and the AI is quite brain expressionless at times. Eh? Pistol activated power = murder, and since y'all'll want the cooldown reduction armor mods for your biotics anyhow, y'all should be able to proceed it perma-activated subsequently. I understand your rankings, though I withal stand past mine. I don't understand Psion ranking infiltrator depression, though. Infiltrator is crazy adept. If nosotros count bonus powers in consideration infiltrator with AI hacking as bonus ability would be the most powerful. Ranking would be something like this (IMHO): ane) Infiltrator (commando, AI hacking) |
| vishnu wrote: Eh? Pistol activated power = murder, and since you'll want the cooldown reduction armor mods for your biotics anyway, you should exist able to proceed information technology perma-activated later on. You don't really have the spare points to fill out Pistol skill. People actually recommend getting Assault Rifle every bit the bonus and simply putting vii in. Properly set up, cypher tin touch you as a Bastion Adept - your skills cool down faster than they expire, so you lot have everything on permanent oversupply control. In the rare instance that doesn't work, you lot can go along an enemy in permanent stasis while y'all gun information technology down. Even the final boss is not immune to stasis. Mind you, it really but matters at Insanity difficulty. |
| I filled out my pistol skill with my skillful on insanity difficulty, and information technology was uber. I had no problem locking people downward. I didn't waste points in barrier, or more one point in specter. None of my plays through (insanity, all classes) always relied on companions for harm. That's a recipe for frustration as they shoot walls or you lot. Companions are only little ability banks. I send them to stand in a corner and manually activate their skilful abilities. (liara + kaiden, or liara + tali, usually) |
| if I could take pistol as a bonus power just to get rid of the unlock requirement I would do that in a heartbeat. |
| I recall you guys are nuts... Vanguard = Soldier at the very LEAST. If you lot happen to have a Sniper-equipped Vanguard, then Vanguard definitely > Soldier. Throw and Lift are fantastic powers in the first game that can work on upwards to five targets at once if you have them levelled, plus in that location's Shield Boost and Shield Regen buffs. When those are levelled and you whip out a properly specced shotgun, you lot can only sprint into a oversupply of enemies and wail on them for a good few seconds before you lot even need to worry. A grenade preceding that run would make life fifty-fifty better. ME2 goes to realize the effectiveness of this technique and combines it all into the ability "Accuse". With a sniper rifle and shotgun, you really aren't going to miss the assault rifle that much. Garrus, Ashley, and Wrex tin can all lay down full auto fire should y'all need it (probably not, since enemies don't really duck and comprehend from automobile-fire). Yeah, I recommend a FemShep Vanguard, though honestly works better as renegade. I've plant that FemShep works either para or ren merely favors renegade, while renegade MaleShep merely doesn't work. |
| If you didn't have a party your reasoning might have merit, just y'all do. A soldier with liara and kaiden in party can abuse the shit out of lift, throw, singularity, stasis and be immune to damage. Nevertheless if you turn that around to a vanguard with ashley and wrex in the party, there's insufficiently fiddling benefit. That said at that place's enough of benefit from but going balls out biotics and having good/vanguard + liara + kaiden for hilarious amounts of control, but again, as I said before, adepts/vanguards are physically capable of dying, dissimilar soliders and infiltrators. So I rank them lower. I'thousand fully enlightened of how ridiculous biotic abilities are in the first game, but y'all don't take to have them on your grapheme in guild to abuse them. Plus equally ridiculous as they are, immunity is fifty-fifty more ridiculous. (And you lot do demand information technology on your character to actually abuse it) |

A soldier with liara and kaiden in party can abuse the shit out of elevator, throw, singularity, stasis and be allowed to damage. However if you turn that around to a vanguard with ashley and wrex in the party, there's comparatively lilliputian do good. If you're running a Vanguard in that party, you lot merely screwed yourself when you come across loot... If y'all're Not an burglar or engineer, you will always need Kaidan, Tali, or Garrus in the party to cleft containers and salvage. Quote: That said there's plenty of benefit from simply going balls out biotics and having adept/vanguard + liara + kaiden for hilarious amounts of control, but again, as I said earlier, adepts/vanguards are physically capable of dying, unlike soliders and infiltrators. Then I rank them lower. While I won't argue that soldiers are harder to kill (and for that reason, also kind of boring...), infiltrators die just as chop-chop, if not moreso, than vanguards in my experience. Vanguards accept a lot more survivability in close combat (shield boost+recharge) and tin can take on the sniper rifle for a long-range ass-kickery, whereas infiltrators taking a shotgun requite them firepower but not endurance. Maybe information technology's simply the different playstyles, but that's my take.

Maybe it'southward but the dissimilar playstyles, simply that's my take. Um, infiltrators get immunity. Amnesty >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all other defensive abilities put together. I have no trouble keeping my biotic characters live, but that's because of tactical use of offensive abilities, and non whatsoever defensive abilities they have (which I speedily learned were a waste of points). I would also never put a shotgun on an infiltrator. AI hacking provides so much synergy it'southward crazy to selection whatever other bonus power. |
| I'm just restarting ME1 (merely got ME2 and am playing with the trilogy in mind, going for a Paragon/Charm offensive this fourth dimension out) with a female Adept (good bespeak above about the voice acting - it's much improve), and "existence able to dice" is, in places, overrated. At the end of the Liara mission, I had Garrus and Tali in my squad, and it must have taken me a solid 45 minutes to impale that bloody Krogan warlord. The geth would get deaded quickly, but then Mr Fat Bastard would come over all biotic and accuse - on one occasion, he ran through Tali then killed me. |
| CommanderJameson wrote: The geth would become deaded quickly, simply so Mr Fat Bastard would come over all biotic and accuse - on one occasion, he ran through Tali and then killed me. Yeah if you exercise liara's planet first in the gild (before you accept lots of abilities) that is 1 of the hardest fights in the game. If you practice information technology later it'southward piece of cake enough, but then y'all don't take liara giving you tons of biotic backup for a while, and so I ordinarily get her first and merely tough that fight out. It wouldn't exist and then bad if it auto-saved after the lift ride. /shakefist |
| vishnu wrote: Yes if you lot practise liara'due south planet first in the order (before you take lots of abilities) that is one of the hardest fights in the game. If you exercise it later information technology'southward easy plenty, only then you don't have liara giving y'all tons of biotic backup for a while, and then I normally get her commencement and just tough that fight out. Unless you're going for the squadmate accomplishment with Liara, getting her last is probably the best option.

| Ulf wrote: Unless yous're going for the squadmate achievement with Liara, getting her last is probably the all-time choice. What? Only if you don't like to be super badass. I don't know why you'd ever want to non have Liara in party, unless you're but besides lazy to manually control her ability utilize. I don't care what class Shepard is, the virtually powerful party makeup is always going to include Liara. Liara + Kaiden for maximal biotic awesome Liara can lock downward the battleground practically on her own later in the game when you've got her more abilities and the cooldown reducing armor mods and amp. Plus not only does she have warp, but as well overload, and then she can zap the shit out of enemy's stupid immunity spam and permit you kill them... bold she hasn't simply launched them into space. Quote: Yay for PC and quick saves. I played on PC, there'south no betoken at which you can quicksave between the start of the elevator ride and the showtime of combat. |
| ok, side by side question: do any of the achievements matter for carrying over to me2? what DOES matter for carrying over? (i'k currently stuck at the fight with the reverend female parent hank azaria, or whatsoever her proper name is. got through the outset part, now i take to sit through stupid dialog and kill anywhere from cipher to all but the last guard, over... and over... i'yard thinking nearly giving upward on this sentinel build at hardcore) |
| pauli wrote: ok, side by side question: do whatever of the achievements matter for carrying over to me2? what DOES matter for carrying over? Cheque The Wiki. |
| As far as your character, the but affair that matters is level, your paragon and renegade scores, and the "rich" accomplishment. Every bit far as the universe, a bunch of plot stuff in both the main plot and side missions matters. edit: or yeah, merely read the wiki. |
| vishnu wrote: I played on PC, there'southward no point at which y'all can quicksave between the kickoff of the elevator ride and the start of combat. Been a while, I thought y'all could if you mashed the push button correct when you got off the elevator. I do remember not being able to salve in gainsay. |
| I finally got this game a week or so ago and accept been playing it. I have been sticking with Liara & Tali since I picked the default options when starting my game, and that gives me a stiff biotic with a stiff tech and me with my super-soldier baddassity. Although, I take finished my first game and I'grand now doing a repeat, and Tali Nonetheless cannot unlock hard decryptions. I should take selected "let me pick" instead of the auto-level. C'est la vie. She will become at that place eventually. |
| achievements i do not accept (since i can't come across them at work): paramour, paragon, extreme power gamer, any of the allies, whatever of the specialists, whatever of the masteries, medal of valor, distinguished combat medal, long service medal. seems like the but one that actually matters going forward is extreme power gamer. |
| How can yous tell which achievements you have? When I look in steam there aren't any listed, although I KNOW I have gotten several when playing. Are they merely not connected to Steam? |
