Started playing it as a Soldier, was too easy. Assault rifle + all ammo types lets you mash anything and everything.

Re-made as an adept on a harder difficulty and now it's tough! I can see adepts dominating late game, but currently I have to really micro my team mates, and if a big mech comes out I'm f**ked!

Pretty sure I have had to reload more times from going lulz and firing the Cain point blank than anything else. Higher difficulties simply make your squad mates die faster (ok technically enemies flanking more and using powers etc more often), it's not that much harder no matter what skills you choose. An Adept isn't exactly weak and anything you are missing you can get from the advanced training anyway. Running a soldier with Heavy Fortification atm loving squad cryo and most likely play something like a Vanguard later. Probably play through and get the Insane achievement for ME2 as well.

Yeah, I would suggest playing ME1... I didn't, and I'm still not entirely sure what's going on... I'm like halfway through now.

Thats what I'm thinking... $20 on CDWOW purchased.... now to wait and see if $45 for ME2 could be worth it

for those who have beaten the game how many hours did it take?

i need to allocate some time to play this game!

Depends, you can do it in under 10 hours, the last mission will probably go horribly wrong but you can do it, 30+ doing all the sides. That would be + any reloads etc and then you have to play it at least twice.

lulz

Your options as a male character are Tali, Miranda, Jack or if you go none, Kelly after the final mission.

Loyalty, upgrades and stage of relationship all seem to factor into survival rates.

My 'No One Left Behind' team composition was

Specialist: Tali

Team Leader: Garrus

Specialist: Jack

Team Leader Garrus

Escort: Mordin

As long as the team members you bring with you are loyal they survive.

Also saw there's a free DLC that add's +10% heavy weapons ammo on the armour...which means my last play through would be +100%, 2 x Cain shots, nice.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
