Well, Tali takes the crown for drama queen. Even more than in ME1. I don't like speaking to Thane because of his annoying "visions" & metaphysical claptrap, but he rips through everything during missions. Teamed with Garrus, it's just silly.

Except your character frame skips through the entire game.

On another note, while Thane is the second most awesome character in the game (after Garrus), the romance isn't very well done. My FemShep was having a perfectly normal conversation with him, and suddenly an option "I want you, Thane" appeared out of thin air. Pretty hilarious.

I don't like what they did to Tali. Why did she have to come with Combat Drone instead of Overload? That stupid orb usually floats for about 5 seconds before it gets destroyed.

I'm using the Viper (fully upgraded). With level 4 Adrenaline Rush I can simply queue up several headshots with relative impunity... it takes down everything really quick. But still, the Vindicator battle rifle seemed to kill all mooks just as fast with one or two bursts directed at the head.

I liked the tune that played during dragon battles and inside Arl Eamon's estate. Leliana's song was only good if one closed one's eyes as soon as she began 'singing'.

I find I'm using the Sniper rifle 75% of the time. Combined with Adrenaline Rush, everything gets murdered. The rest of the time I was using the Vindicator battle rifle - also deadly accurate, even on long range. That's why the Revenant is a disappointment. Maybe I'll have to buy that accuracy upgrade on Tuchanka for it.

I think I made a mistake in picking up the Revenant machine gun instead of a new Sniper rifle in the Collector ship. The Revenant couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Bah. Hopefully it gets better with some upgrades.

Garrus is too awesome to get passed by.

[Perception] These conversation jokes never get old, do they?

How does one know the Normandy is fully upgraded? I had a few Upgrade dialogues with Garrus & Miranda in the beginning of the game, but not anymore. Is 3 or 4 upgrades all it takes?

Keep fighting the Good Fight, bros.

They've already got one. She's great. She also feeds your fish and strip dances for you. Now if she would also scan planets... *shakes fist*

It was pretty painful how an elite soldier is not able to hop over a 3 ft/1 m gap in the floor. But at least it's much better than the Normandy crash site. I still haven't found all dog tags after returning to that place 5 times.

^That has got to be a troll post.

Reuniting with Mr Butthurt:

Jack's Shockwave just owns everything below Hard difficulty. She's proven to be the most useful team member so far, together with Miranda. One can hide behind cover all day & watch her go to work.

All aboard the Hype Train!

Fail. The only option would be playing as Blasto, the first Hanar Spectre.

I expected the plot twist only because I didn't think the game would be that short. I found it to be similar to KOTOR, where one easily kicks Malak's ass in the middle of the game, but then shortly afterwards one gets served.

I had hacked the Mech, so... 'twas cake. The fight at the end of the Warlord mission has two Mechs, a hot Blue Suns chick & a bunch of Krogans. That's kinda tough.

Leave Jade Empire alone!!

Is the Collector Beam Rifle the best weapon in the game? I picked it up yesterday and now I regret having wasted resources on researching heavy weapons in the beginning of the game. It's a heavy weapon with 650 ammo.

I tried playing a bit on Insanity & all enemies I've encountered come with multiple defenses, while on lower difficulties there are enemies with just a health bar (and who all go down very fast). To me gameplay became very boring, since I was reduced to waiting for Warp to recharge (the most effective way to reduce defenses). The problem is the global cooldown on powers. At least in ME1 one could use other powers while waiting for another to recharge. So I switched back to a lower difficulty... mooks should remain mooks, imo.

NWN, KOTOR, ME, DA all follow the hoary old premise "defeat ancient evil by going on one giant fetch quest". At least JE is different from that.
