    so i got a little dilemma, i got a lv 52 soldier and i was happily maxing out pistol as a back up weapon, but then i forget about the class specialization.

    i chose shock trooper, but now i got some extra slots to put points in. so do i keep pumping pistol, which is like half way there (about 7 pts), or do i go for the shock trooper training (more health, adrenaline masteries and such.) which has about 7 points left.

    i really dont want to leave my pistol hanging weaker than it should be, but is it even worth maxing out? i got the assault rifle as my main, i only use pistol for organics.

    True. Am I correct in thinking he's a Quarian?

    His dialogue involved Tali and ships and Tali on ships. And then there was a clip of some quarian guy immediately after.

    Speaking of Quarians, Shoreh Aghdashloo has an incredible voice.

    His dialogue was supporting Shepard in the Conclave scene, by the sounds of things. It just seemed to me like a "one character you took along with you pipes up here" moment rather than something the character was actually involved in.

    I don't really think him being a Quarian is likely, though I'm not going to completely discount it.

    The armor cheat is rather fast and easy to do, really. Just count where it is from the bottom and time the one quick succession of button presses right.

    I'm doing it for that exact reason too, aesthetics. Scorpion (the vaguely desert camo/black one) looks great as Heavy Armor for males. It's not the best armor but no fucking way anyone who is even somewhat aesthetically sensitive thinks bright red/black Colossus looks good on humans.

    That, and with the saved points from Tactical Armor, I could afford to not leave my pistols at 6. It's great having two weapon choices.

    I really, really want to believe you. Adam Baldwin has quite a voice. It would be a shame to not have him in onboard the Normandy.

    I'd go with Shock Trooper. Doesn't that boost immunity, too? You really want that.

    The colossus armor is terrible. It looks like cos-play.

    So I was stuck spending about 20 hours in predator armor, constantly wondering why the hell I'm wearing forest camo in space.

    The armor customization in ME2 is seriously one of my favorite features.

    yes, there is an immunity mastery too. BUT i almost never die anyways. i guess the real question is; is pistol worth maxing out?

    His name is Quarian, though. And showing a character that is not the voice actor's character after featuring the voice actor is weird. Plus I don't know how a non-quarian would know anything about Tali's contributions, except maybe an ME1 squadmate which Baldwin isn't.

    The pistol with marks activated does better damage than the AR. Less accurate though, you lose some range.

    Yeah, no. I'm not gonna say you're somehow wrong for liking it. I just think personally it looks bad.

    There is something vaguely hilarious about looking like you're a futuristic desert storm soldier...in space.

    And christ fuck yes. If they do it right, armor customization could be totally rad. I always found myself wanting to take part of one set and apply it to another.

    its weird how bioware fucked up on the 2 best armors in the game, the red on the collosous is so bright shitty and the predator is green cammo in space.

    but the mercenary armor looks freakin sweet and also the gladiator.

    I'm probably wrong about this, given my inexperience with the AR, but don't they both pretty much amount to "spit out a lot of bullets and damage at flexible ranges"

    It seems a tad redundant

    the AR is effective at surprisingly long ranges though.

    Well, it has the benefit of offering two similarly capable weapons for loading Tungsten and Shredder to.

    Soldiers can certainly afford to invest in two weapon talents.

    I thought the exact same thing. She gives me the impression of a VI that skirts the borders of AI really really closely.

    edit: Also Miranda is genetically modified, and we know the Council clamps down on that shit pretty hard. So yeah, Cerberus is up to some tricky business as usual, I suspect.

    Pistol with Marksman is also effective at surprisingly long ranges. I was popping drones on the other side of the map in BDtS quite easily.

    It's probably hard for a lot of people to get work, so he might have bregrudgingly accepted this role. I would have NEVER expected someone of the caliber of Martin Sheen to do something like this, but there you go. If it's good enough for him it's good enough for Dorn. And if he's typecasted, so what, there's worse things that could have happened in his career. At this rate we're going to have Mark Wahlburg in Mass Effect 3.
