But then [Mass Effect] began to smell my greatness!

I never understood why there is no dialog option to even COMMENT on that singing. Its just like, oh hey, that was cool.
So apparently I've been doing it wrong, missing every single shotgun damage upgrade, not charging around like a horny bull on meth, etc.
I may have to restart.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
It seems to me a pure run would be annoying, because if you play pure Renegade, you end up being a needlessly cruel dick, and if you play pure Paragon, you end up being a naive spineless pussy.
I like to play my Shepard as a Paragade.
I'm sorry, but I don't care how much of a Renegade you are, if you let Tali cry without hugging her you're a bad person.

No you're not. Do you know where she's been?
at least to people I like anyway
for what it's worth, the vanguard is my favorite class by far but I played my entire first run like you, just kind of sticking to cover and unloading Tempest magazines on people
it wasn't until the second go at it that I figured out how to handle the class
I know it's discomfiting to spend a lot of time out of cover at first, but if I can (eventually) take out a Geth Colossus one-on-one without cover on hardcore, it becomes clear that survivability isn't as big an issue as it would appear
make sure you do the N7 mission in the D____ system of the Pylos nebula ASAP; it should be your third damage protection upgrade and open up Hard Shields, majorly increasing your defense
the other protection upgrades don't show up until waaaay later, after you get booted out to a mission the second time
as trite as it is, though, your best defense is offense; charge in, shotgun someone's face, find the next person to shotgun, charge when you can to refill your shields, and hope they die before you
I actually don't spend much time looking for cover after a charge
I like to think that my Shepard is tough, but fair, he's kinda like a John Wayne character in space.
I like hardcore, but I've had my fill of that difficulty
Do we need to stage an intervention?
Quick, someone do a photoshop of that comic!

It's definitely completely different. It also appears to be a damn good way to get yourself frakked.

Vanguard is the definition of getting frakked.
otherwise, what shotgun are you using?
what's your skill build?
have you gotten the appropriate upgrades (biotic recharge, shotgun, and damage protection are the ones you'll want most)?
I wish I could see when exactly you were using charge and on whom, but that's a bit much
the best targets are
1. somewhat isolated
2. in the rear (excepting situations where there's an influx of reinforcements)
3. at least somewhat shielded (the knockback is kind of disadvantageous)
edit: you'll also want to keep on the ball with regard to cooldowns; chain your charges as often as possible, and try to keep your health from being whittled down overmuch, as it's your buffer
after a charge is a good time to micromanage your teammates powers too, and a well-timed throw or slam can save your ass if things get hairy
i can headbutt those klixen all day
charge is SUPER useful on tali's loyalty
that one room just before the room where you hug her
charge them as soon as the door opens
melee, run through OH HEY CUTSCENE BATTLE OVER ALL GETH DISAPPEAR

just did mordin recruitment as an adept on veteran
stripped a krogan of his armor
hit him with a pull
the fans caught him and he went sailing across the top of the giant room until he hit the wall on the opposite side
it was awesome

I'm still not happy with the face, but I soldiered on.
The smugness
it is overwhelming
The new title's a Grunt quote right? I know it's a Krogan one.

...8-)
Volus crackhead quote, to be more accurate.
Also, the renegade interrupts are awesome. I don't think I've seen one I haven't liked yet. Garrus loyalty and Miranda loyalty interrupts are tied for greatest.
I can't do a Paragon shep. I have thermal clips and people to shoot.
Really, though, I don't get the hate for the goggles. I think they look goofy mostly on male Shepard. And cool people don't play male Shepard.
Man this reference gets creepier the more you think about it.
I play 85% paragon and use a few renegade interrupts. Both ME1 and ME2 I've tried playing renegade for shits and giggles but it's mostly shit and no giggling. I'll do it, just to see the alternate dialogue, but I don't enjoy it.
