my class is a soldier, can someone briefly explain to me what it means by renegade on the equipment/squad screen (i cant remember which one) by my name?
 
I went the whole game without buying anything. Don't see the point :O So I never needed credits, but there is a loop-hole where you can get infinate money (youtube it).

Renegade is funny to play through, Shepard can be a real hardass a lot of the time :p

renegade means you are mostly evil, basically paragon = good, renegade = evil

Nope

Shepard isn't an "evil" character.

A "renegade" Shepard believes that the ends justifies the means, that sometimes brutal techniques must be used to achieve a greater good, and that it's better to act with Brutality than to not act at all. Think Bush administration foreign policy, or Jack Bauer.

A Paragon Shepard believes that the rule of law must be followed, that civilization is marked by a series of unbreakable rules that must be upheld in order to save it, and that those who seek to save civilization mustn't reduce themselves to barbarity, so as to separate themselves from those who would seek to destroy it.

Neither are evil, both use different means to achieve an end, and that's what makes Mass Effect great.
 
Enjoying this game so far. The combat is a bit weird, and I'm not 100% convinced of the levelling up process but definitely enjoying it. Epic storyline being told epically.

Credits would be very useful at the start of the game; my gear is crap :p.

Yeah but by the time the Spectre X weapons are available you should have so much money stashed in the back of the Mako, you can't even get in it anymore ;)

I had 4 million by the time I got the spectre weapons I just sold all my un-used upgrades (VII-VIII usually)

Master gear I bought.

Available equipment and credits are dependant on your level. I played through the game twice in sucession, obtaining level ... 57, I think?

Anyways, my point is you pick up a lot of the decent stuff you need. Credits buy you the odd nice upgrade but to be honest you'll get most of your items from pickups.

By the time I hit lvl 30ish, I had had a million credits in the bank simply by selling excess gear off and surveying/raiding planets for everything I could find. Doing all the side missions proved great for gaining more credits.

Top Tip: Make sure you open every receptacle you can, even if you end up using Omni-Gel to open it. If you cant use, or its pointless or doesnt upgrade what you have, then you can sell. Explore!

When you get a million credits (in total, not in the bank) you can access the lvl 7 Spectre weaponry on the Normandy or from the C-Sec seller. If you max out Spectre Training, yo get access to Lvl 10 Spectre weaponry, which combined with Frictionless materials makes you pretty unstoppable in a fight :)

Lvl 10 Spectre Sniper rifle + Assassination + Upgrades = Dead Geth Armature in 2 shots :)

Edit: Top Tip 2: Stick with just two of the available allies, just make sure its not both Alenko or Williams at the same time. as an Infiltrator, I used Garrus and Liara 100%, so only had 3 characters to upgrade.
 
Whats wrong with Alenko and Williams? Anyway, I think I'll take Williams and Wrex, great combat team, the guy especially is a walking tank (at the early stages anyway)!

Noob question: Can you open a bank account at the Citadel and earn interest?

Noob question2: I'm about level 7 if I recall, I've just gone to the first planet to try and track down the Matriarch. Combat is pretty horrid, which is an annoyance but I realise they've done it so you get better as you level up - one thing that really ticks me off though is the assault rifle - you can't aim it at all! And you can't seem to upgrade that. And even though I have roughly 9 upgrade points in Sniper Rifles, my aim is still really shaky. Does it get any better (have started to spend points in Spectre Training too)?

1) Cant say anything about that as its like, a massive spoiler :P

2) No, no bank accounts Im afriad.

3) Yes, look for upgrades that improve weapon stability! Better weapons also have better stability if I remember correctly.
 
If 1) is the love scene or something, I think I read about it whilst deciding whether or not to buy the game :p.

2) Shucks, suppose I'll have to work for my credits then!

3) Cool - does the assault gun ever get useable :p?
