I am currently playing as a Soldier and I remember ages ago when the game came out there was much talk about one of the classes being OP and the best so to speak. What are your views on the best class? Really wanna get this game done and dusted before starting the 2nd.

Also I have old saved games, where do I need to put them if I have Mass Effect on my steam.

Thanks :)
 
Anything that can massacre geth, is OP, since that is almost your only enemy in the game :D.

I finished the game using mostly just my shotgun, sniper rifle, and mainly my assault rifle.

Grenades hardly helped, and I only used special actions to stay alive in tough situations (refresh actions, recharge shield, and revive fallen team mate, don't remember the exact names though).

Can't answer your second question though.
 
probably vanguard tbh, the combo of the key biotic skills and medium armour and shotgun or pistol is just win at everything.

i think a general rule is biotics rulezz teh mass effect. Lift and warp are just so good.

Click to expand...

Vanguards dont have immunity which is the most overpowered ability in the game. Just play whatever class you want, i would say the only hard class to play is one that lacks either barrier or immunity which probably just leaves engineer.

The class you picked from the first wont carry over to the second so just stick with your soldier if thats what you started with.
 
That depends on your definition of best. Best dps was i think the Vanguard, some mistype in 1 of the numbers turned out to be lower than reality so it pushed it up to the best.

Best class is just Adept... the AI is too suicidal and all you really need is Pistol (seriously powerful with Master Marksman) and your choice of second skill combined with a large amount of very powerful Biotics. Tech skills are useless when your enemy just puts up Immunity, Barrier or switches weapon.
 
Vanguard is the only one worth playing for me.

2nd playthrough i didnt even choose a different class as none of them interested me.
 
Yeah, 'best' is hard to classify as every class can be made extremely powerful.

My personal preference is bastion adept with AR bonus. That scene from the original Fantasia film comes to mind with Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, specifically the part where he's on the tower of rock, sending stars and comets all over the place. Pretty similar with the biotic powers.

In fact that's what I'm currently working on in the PC version, to import to ME2
