Characters who are very, very awesome:
Mordin
Legion
Garrus

Characters who are very, very not awesome:
Zaeed
Zaeed
Zaeed

(No, Zaeed really annoys me. He's like Garrus, but he not a cool alien, lacking the Saiyan Scouter thing, and with no personality)

Also, Infiltrator is brokenly overpowered. I played it in my first playthrough as the only import I had available and, uh, wow, being able to slow time down at will and cloakbomb (using heavy weapons with the Assassination cloak) is outrageously, unstoppably strong.

I liked Zaeed. The dude does have a personality, but its very unlikable due to him being betrayed, shot in the face and spending his entire life alone killing people.

You're confusing "Personality" with "Boring and generic" there, dogstile.

As generic as it is, its still a personality. I hate the "he has no personality" comment about any character unless the character never speaks or has feelings at all.

Zaeed's awesome.  His face is cool and his voice is delicious.


I got him last, but I kept going back to him so I could hear his stories.

Any one else notice that Zaeed is like a shitty ripoff of the most badass mandalorian ever:

Canderous Ordo

He seems like a less interesting Vincent from The Witcher to me. Same character type, same background, almost the same voice actor, less interesting plot twist.

I did notice that. It may be part of why I find Zaeed so disappointing.

I really liked Zaeed although I never brought him into battles because I was using other characters.
He reminded me of Jason Statham, I wish he was Jason Statham then he'd be going everywhere with me, he'd be infinitely better if you could actually talk to him on your ship.

I love Jason Statham

I found there's only one way to play this game.

On Insanity. :3

Soooo much more fun.

Until you run out of ammo. Then it gets far less interesting. And considering that Bioware's attitude to high difficulty settings seems to be "make everything take three clips to kill", that's probably going to happen at least a few times.

Also, before you say something about submachine guns, taking tons of damage from enemy fire renders them useless as you'll never get close enough.

I'm killing average enemy's with 2-4 shots/bursts to the head and the tough ones get torn apart by the whole team focusing on them. Not to mention getting close isn't hard at all if you know what you're doing, and even then that's just to pop tough enemy's in the face with the eviscerator or punch stun them for tons of bullets to the head.

You're doing it wrong.

Thats what I hate about modern games Diffulculty: More health, which instead I would of like it to be more like more enemies,more restrictions and so on, I dont want to see higher diffulculty only meaning higher health on enemies.

Managed to finish the game two days ago. As soon as I can, I'm going through it again because I would like to resolve everything using charm and stuff.
