Did it on Insanity with a Vanguard as well. Not sure what level I was, but I wasn't anywhere near Level 30 at the time.

I actually carried over my character. I did all of Insanity with a level 30 Infiltrator. Perhaps not my best idea >.<

I was going to carry over my finished ME2 vanguard character and play through again as infiltrator on insanity, and I finally found how to change my class mid game on http://www.masseffect2faces.com/. Check out their instructions in the "Save Editor" link on the front page to do this. You can also download Mass Effect 1 or 2 saves with different choices if you want to try that.

On another note, damn insanity is hard. I usually play through RPG on normal cause I care more about story, but insanity is actually providing a fun, if sometimes frustrating, challenge. I do notice that I almost never use Unity in normal, but have to use it all the time in insanity.

^Seriously, Insanity is driving me crazy. I'm not sure if it's just insanely hard because I don't have anything yet, but I'm dying and burning through medi-gel like nuts.

Not playing ME2 on Insanity is just going through the game in easy-mode. The only point at which the combat became challenging was when I played on Insanity, at which point you actually have to start playing tactically and think your way through some battles.

Hey guys, decided to reinstall and do a 2nd playthrough.
Anyway, I can freely import all my ME1 chars, but I seem to have a problem with my ME2 char. The game doesn't recognise that I completed it before. It only recognises to some point, and after that all my saves seem to have either not worked or disappeared all together.
Previously, I had Zaleed DLed(and some other cerb card dlc - dont remember, this time I don't.
Usually that would be a pretty clear sign that without the DLC the game doesn't recognise I did complete it.
But my problem is here: I installed those DLCs before playing even a single minute of the game itself. I'm very confused it recognises say a save made 25h into the game, but not the 38h save. Why? Any help would be appreciated.

QFT

It was a very nice challenge. One thing that helped a lot though, was the DLC. The DLC armor and weapons are way better than the box weapons (besides the Widow, that's still the best sniper).

Does anyone else love the Mass Effect novels? I listen to them as audiobooks. They are freaking awesome. Mass Effect: Retribution just came out and I'm devouring my iPod batteries.

Some of the fights on Insanity are truly...
Doesn't help that your partners are oft-times dumb as bricks.

My first major problem was the fight on the colony planet, defending the gun vs the waves of Prothean, husks and the abominations. The husks and Abom waves were the hardest for sure. Waves upon waves of them, with the near instakill shockwaves to boot.
Luke, you are still a wanker!

I read the first two, and I'm reading Retribution right now. I can't put it down. I've been staying up wayyyyy too late reading it every night. Lol

You can actually skip right up to the Praetorian. If you just stand in the doorway, you can pick off the Scions without any Husks spawning. Then for the Praetorian, put your allies somewhere safe, and move around between his laser bursts. Since the allies have infinite ammo, they'll eventually take him down. I always ran out of ammo trying to take them out by myself.

Mass Effect 1+2 are prob one of the best games up there, better then SC2 in terms of a pure video game. Mass Effect 2 serious had me on my toes when playing throughout the story, i could play that game over and over and over and never get sick of it. Best Game Ever.

I just finished Retribution last night. And I have to say, that was my favorite ME book so far. I can't wait until the next one (if there is a next one).

You dont play mass effect for its awe inspiring combat. <,<

Thats why i play on normal. Cba to have challenging combat in a bioware game. But i do agree that if you want it challenging you should do that.

infiltrator is actually one of the better classes.

It is. But I started level 30 so all the enemies were as powerful as they can be from the beginning.

Started my second play through as reave vanguard in insane and I gotta say, things die REALLY fast when played properly (not charging into pyros/fully shielded legionnaires, krogans) compared to an Infiltrator.

Reave is for sure the best squad power.

Never happened for me and I'm disappointed about it. I was playing on Insanity and expecting some hardcore turnaround and it just didn't come.

Insanity mode was imho much harder early-game. I played through on insanity as an Adept, and once I got leveled, the game got a *lot* easier. Early on I was dying and just not dealing any damage.... but it all went away and eventually I felt like I was just on hard mode or whatever.

Myself + Miranda + Garrus/Zaeed can wreck any army in seconds.




edit: Adept is sooo fun to play btw. You can almost launch baddies into orbit. Pick em up, then throw and angle it to hit them below and... WHEEEE!!! they fly off into the distance. Time it with another teammate who has throw and you can even launch krogans like 4 stories in the air.
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

I was glad that they decided to make him a new race. And I am absolutely loving the abundance of information to read after you beat it. I'm gonna have fun reading up on everyone in ME.
