    yeah, he sure did have some dialogue and then appear in three scenes and get killed offscreen

    so what you're saying is that he's probably still alive

    because if zaeed died offscreen everyone'd be all HAHA HE'S GONNA KILL YOU LATERS ;0

    well that's because Zaeed's entire thing is surviving impossible scenarios

    nah, his entire thing is getting caught on fire and exploding

    you just made zaeed's list

    it's not a good list to be on

    nihlus has one thing going for him

    the first time I played ME I saw the thing with the footage from eden prime and it cuts back to nihlus and his mandibles twitch

    and I though that is a good touch this will be a thing that I will enjoy

    Soveregin is apparently known as Saren's Flagship but if that was the case he definitely should not have turned his back on Saren.

    I sent in Legion

    the problem is I picked a bad guy to lead the fireteam and he got shot in the head

    then I picked grunt to lead the other fireteam and he got shot in the gut

    and then I didn't send mordin back with the crew so he died too

    none of this shit was clear to me the first time

    I picked a good hacker and a good biotic and that's it

    you'd think any of these cunts could lead a fireteam with all the combat they see but NO APPARENTLY NOT

    but I'm glad I have a playthrough with a few people dead

    hopefully that will be addressed with some story complexity rather than straight up "WELP TOO BAD NOW YOU CAN'T DO THIS"

    Man, either I've just been crowned God Sentinel King of all Turians and didn't get the memo, or there's some bugginess in how the power amp applies bonuses to AoE overload.

    Cuz I was just playing some silver rounds with pubbies and suddenly I'm able to kill turrets with one overload. From full health. And nemesis. AND phantoms. I've even seen nemesis' die from the secondary shocks, the ones that're supposedly only 60% of your base damage. That seems most definitely off. My tank sentinel should really not be getting 50+ tech kills on silver. Or even on bronze!

    Normally overload with stun you kinda see a first flash that does the damage, and then a second shock which's the stun. I'm sort of wondering if the power bonus isn't accidentally giving both shocks full damage or something. Because right now I feel like I'm cheating...

  • DichotomyDichotomy BOWSER I really hope I don't suck this time.Registered User regular
    yeah, something is broken with chain overload

    like as in chain overload does more damage to a single target than overload specced solely for damage to a single target

    looking back I'm pretty sure that was my rationale as well

    Agreed. I loved that little touch; it's the same thing with Legion and his 'faceplates'. The fact that BW took the time to animate something as minute like a nostril flare was great.

    can anyone give me infiltrator advice?

    I don't have anything other than human female. Right now I have full cloak and full Alliance training, and two in sticky grenade and three in cryo blast and two in fitness.

    Which one should I pump up? Cryo blast or sticky grenade?

    Also it seemed like fitness would be a waste since I should be trying to not get hit.
    Pump Fitness and Sticky Grenade.

    If you're sniping, things that take damage from Cryo are easily killed with your gun, and Sticky Grenades are more useful as an AoE thing anyway.

    Man I can totally understand why someone would prefer the mattock, it does really nice damage

    but god damn if my finger is going to put up with clicking for every single bullet I want to shoot.

    Also this stepped-up unlock is nice and all, if we hadn't spent the last week unlocking all those guys the hard way already.

    And I still don't have my revenant. Just gimme a few rounds with the revenant bioware, and then I can retire from the demo in peace!
