    I'm planning three primary files, as in ME1

    1. Main file, female vanguard renegade (mixed with some paragon on major choices), romanced liara in ME1, stuck with her in ME2
    2. Female infiltrator, paragon (going renegade to the aforementioned major choices just so I can get both), romanced kaiden in ME1, ronery in ME2
    3. Male sentinel/engineer (haven't decided yet), straight paragon, romanced ashley in ME1, no one in ME2

    I'm favoring ME1 romances since I figure they're probably going to be meatier this time around. I do have a Talimancer file I can pretty up if need be, but I doubt I'll bother.
    Found an infiltrator file I can use for the second and finished off all the optional stuff on it.

    I gave them the base on absolutely none of my fifteen or so games. It's so clearly a bad idea. I'm not even worried about importing that decision.

    I like bad decisions. The one romance I regret not having is Jack.
    Man, $10 says it only figures in whether or not humans are dominant later, it's been the prevailing Renegade consequence to have something result in human dominance at the expense of other races.

    Keeping Conrad a renegade means he's recruit-able as a party member.

    Specialty skill: "I thought you were a hero!" as long as Shepard is above 50% health, Conrad cannot be incapacitated.

    Romanced Tali with my Worgen Hunter and blew up the base.

    Romanced Jack with my Sith Inquisitor and also blew up the base after taking an arrow to the knee.

    Romanced Kaliyo with my Support machine-gunner and also blew up the base.

    Guess I just don't like that base.

    But I swear to the goddess, if all your crew members are as cool as Mordin, I'm just going to spend the rest of the game aboard the Normandy, talking to them all over and over again so I don't have to leave any of them behind.

    I liked Jack. Admittedly it took me a few runs to warm up to her, but I definitely stopped disliking her after awhile. Mostly on my female runs since she wasn't trying to hate-fuck me.

    In mass effect your level being higher means you have more skill points and so it really does equates to how bad ass you are.

    Welp, I've wrapped up my canon (paragade soldier), renegade (vanguard), and paragon (adept) runs. Now I just need to do a "totally reasonable" middle-option-choosing run and we're all ready for Me3!

    What is the fourth class I should play in order to maximize the diversity of my experience?

    That's really up to you, though Infiltrator is a bit similar to Soldier in that you rely on a power for Damage, only you try to one-shot everything instead of shooting multiple times. Engineers can use their drones to keep one enemy basically locked down and you can upgrade it so it explodes which is very nice. Sentinels are tanks, not much else to say.

    False perception. If you start at level 15 with 15 skill points, you're starting at 1 with 15 skill points. There's still going to be an entire game's worth of stuff that costs skill points ahead of you.

    ..but he's still starting at level 15. I get what you mean by saying there's still an entire game ahead of you (45 more levels) but starting at level 15 with 15 skill points is not like starting at level 1 with 15 skill points because that'd mean you could get a total of 74 or 75 skill points instead of 60.

    That is the only worthwhile use of such a bad word.

    I finally got around to buying these games. I hear you guy slike them a lot. That sort of thing never affects me, I just decided to buy them finally due to trusting bioware.

    I'm going to play the first one all the way and I don't actually care at all that the second is better because I always pretend the second one doesn't exist when I play the first one until I finish it.

    Like, I never managed to beat witcher 1, but before playing witcher 2 I went back and beat witcher 1. Even though Witcher 2 was sitting on my hdd for two weeks I still beat witcher 1 first. That's how I roll.

    Anyway I just want to know if there are any critical pc bugs or patches or whatnot, any "you should have known this first" issue I need to know.

    Be careful when talking to Ashley and Liara. I was trying to do a no-romance run for ME1 (because I didn't want to cheat on anybody in ME2) but...let's just say that unless you're a total asshole, the future has some very pushy women.

    Standard bioware thing. Baldur's gate 2 had the worst version.
    I usually end up with the girl that pushes themselves on you in every bioware game because I feel bad about being a dick.
    I really liked the dragon age 1 version of this "feature" though, since she was goddam crazy so it felt appropriate somehow.
