Genophage is now a verb.

But seriously, guys, keep it spoiler-free as much as possible. None of this message editing business.

Also, Thane, Mordin, Jack, and Garrus are awesome.

So, for those of us that have finished the game, I have a few questions regarding three renegade actions...








*SPOILERS*





























Anyone know what happens if you don't: shoot Udina, defend yourself against Leng, or shoot TIM? Also, the last paragon/renegade dialog option was greyed out for me, anyone know if there is any substantial difference in the dialogue of you choose one?

Yeah, everyone I've talked to that has played the game instinctively pulled the trigger for those. Also, why the f*** is that last one a "renegade" action? It should either be paragon or have no morality assigned to it.

I had everything on my Infiltrator maxed without any points in Cryo Ammo, and I didn't feel like throwing any into that, so I had to go grab a bonus power.

I went with Energy Drain. It's surprisingly effective and makes me pretty unkillable. Shields go down, drain 'em from someone else.

I'm tempted to try to New Game+ this file on Insanity with that build.

Aww man. What a terrible time to start lagging. I was using my new Salarian Infiltrator, with a Mantis. I was on a Gold challenge with a few randoms and they all kept getting killed. So after the third or fourth time of saving this one dude I was like f*** it and ran away from the enemies to the other side of the map. I took care of them all myself. There was a Nemesis taking cover and I cloaked and took cover on the other side of her and did the melee insta-kill. I have found that to be the best way to defeat them.

Other than that, Energy Drain + Mantis shot works incredibly well.


Nice. I remember one time in the demo that an Engineer dropped a turret and it wiped out all my teammates, so I had to play hide 'n charge and ended up wiping out the enemies one by one. I'd charge at one, take him out, then run away and come at them from a different angle and kill another. Felt like I was hunting them.

I've heard the Salarian Infiltrator is a beast due to Energy Drain. Can't wait to try him out.

I want the Quarian as well just because with Sabotage she's the ultimate Geth killer.

Have you gotten hit with the Phantom's one hit KO yet?

Now in multiplayer I really wish I could get a Widow or Black Widow for my Salarian Infiltrator.

Assuming I'm understanding the question correctly, I have (as well as the other renegade interrupt ones), only I'm kind of on the "try to keep spoilers out of this topic" side (I abandoned this topic myself shortly after release when I saw this happening, though granted I was only lurking) and with message edits seemingly down, even that's not an option. If we had a spoiler topic, that'd be another thing, but... I feel it'd be kind of hypocritical if I did the exact same thing that drove me from this topic earlier.

Just a little while ago, in fact I was gonna mention something about it, but... didn't. I was trying out my new krogan soldier, trying to melee the Phantom. It didn't work.

I hate that b**** but I gotta admit she's pretty badass, killing a krogan with a sword.

Cryo Ammo is indeed amazing, but it's pointless on the Black Widow since you're one shotting nearly everything. And I prefer the stun effect of Disruptor Ammo, mostly because I've trained myself to immediately fire off an Incinerate when I see an enemy stunned so I get a tech burst.

I was able to take them and I wasn't full Renegade. I took a lot of Paragon paths too. It should be your reputation overall that matters. Maybe you didn't do enough to raise it.

With the Turian Sentinel I just throw up TA, then run around Warping and Overloading as needed. TA makes me pretty durable, I imagine it's even more effective on a Krogan. I don't remember what skills they get. I just took an AR to beat the slow cooldowns TA causes.
