ALL OF MY HYPE

Actually, not quite, because of that BL2 trailer earlier.

BUT STILL

Also, Collector Ship can go die in a fire.

I'm pretty sure I just played the Collector Ship last night. Of course I was drunk, but I do recall dying on those god damn platforms a few times.

After that I think I breezed through it. Infiltrator da best.

Once you get the Widow Sniper Rifle, playing as an Infiltrator is soooo satisfying. A hell of a lot easier too.

Btw, I suggest you bring Grunt along when you do the IFF Mission. Grunt eats Husks for breakfast. Mmm. He's nigh unkillable by Husks (seriously, I've never brought him on that mission before and had him die) and if they get too close to him, he'll charge them which kills them instantly, even if they have full armor.

I bring Grunt on most of the big missions just because he's such a tank. He still dies on me sometimes, but never against husks. Just those damn scions.

And yes, Widow is so very satisfying. I did a bunch of little missions after Horizon so that I could quickly get to the Collector Ship and then I could have the Widow for all the bigger missions. Like recruiting Tali, Thane, and Samara.

Starting the suicide mission with my full renegade Vanguard. Once I wrap up Lair and Arrival with him I might move on to the Adept I made last night.

I might try to finish Dead Island before ME3 drops, though. I've had it from Gamefly for like two weeks and it's just kind of sitting here. Mass Effect is just too addictive.

I went with Widow on my Soldier playthrough. Never regretted it for a second.

I was curious about the Revenant, but my killing power and survivability as a Soldier were already pretty extreme. Especially with the Widow. The Vindicator does rather well for a Soldier, with adrenaline rush you can take out an enemy or two with it before it ends, so I felt pretty set there already.

And the Claymore just sucks lol. Scimitar's the best shotgun, with Eviscerator coming in second. Especially paired with Incendiary Ammo.

The Claymore leaves no room for error, so that doesn't help me.

On an unrelated note, what bonus power do you guys usually use as an Infiltrator? I was using Warp Ammo of course, but now I feel I might try using Cryo Ammo instead, or Grunt's Squad Incendiary Ammo, and maybe go with Reave? Or maybe just a defensive power in case of emergencies... Then again Tactical Cloak is usually more effective for that anyway.

I don't know what to do.

I've used Warp Ammo and Geth Shield Boost on my Infiltrator. Both are pretty good.

I just love the sheer power of the Claymore and the noise it makes. The other shotguns likely have better DPS but the Claymore fits the high-risk, high-reward Vanguard playstyle way better IMO.

It could just be personal opinion. However, when I played through as a Vanguard, the Scimitar worked out better for me. It has more shots before needing to reload and is rapid-fire. When up close the extra rounds and ability to keep constant fire makes it easier to use. I didn't do the melee attacks for faster reloading though. Pretty sure it changes a lot as to which is the best with that.

Like I said, might just be personal taste. I started using it after watching a video about shotgun comparisons, but I don't remember what it was (was a while ago when I did my Vanguard run).

Well, if you have it, the Geth Plasma Shotgun I think is unanimously considered the best. Definitely the most long-ranged shotgun.

I wouldn't imagine the Geth Plasma Shotgun being the best for a Vanguard, since it's more of a long range shotgun and you need a high damaging close range weapon for when you Charge in. Eviscerator usually worked perfect for me. Charge, shoot, melee, shoot again if need be. Most enemies don't survive that. And by then your Charge is pretty much ready to go again.

I do remember using Scimitar for my Soldier instead. I didn't use it much, but I liked the extra ammo just in case. It came through in some occasions.

According to the ME Wiki the Scimitar does get the highest DPS of all the shotguns. It gets a 1.5x damage bonus to shields and barriers, but nothing against armor. The Eviscerator gets 1.25x against all three and has longer range. It also has higher base damage.

Let me know how that goes. I still need to work on my Vanguard Insanity playthrough. Of course I've been using the Eviscerator, but I guess if the Scimitar is actually better I might actually go with that.

Of course the whole not doing extra damage to armor thing might be a problem. Then again, Shields are the main form of protection and the Scimitar does more damage against those... so maybe the trade off might not be so bad.

Yeah, I knew about the roster spoiler a while back. It is kind of a scummy move but I'm thinking that's more EA's influence than anything else. I'm glad I nabbed the CE. although I would've gotten it regardless. It does make me think that the spoiler probably won't be too important to the story, though.

Zaeed is the same price, I believe, so I'm assuming this comes with a similar amount of content.

The thing that bothers me is that Zaeed comes free as long as you buy ME2 new. The spoiler only comes with the CE. If it had been in every new copy of the game it really wouldn't have bothered me that much.

I never played Arrival, but wasn't Overlord and LotSB both under $10, plus had more content in terms of length of mission(compared to Zaeed)? Sounds kind of ridiculous to tack on an extra 3 or so dollars just for an extra character who probably doesn't even have his own dialogue wheels.

I'm not a fan of DLC, but I will buy it time to time, but jeez, that price is high(I'll probably end up getting down the road though... : \ )
