Mass Effect playthrough, which class?

Soldier was for me all 3 games, never bothered trying other classes until I did ME3 MP, sooooo much fun in MP, different classes, races, guns and set-ups. Shame the MP went down no more events patches etc however you still get people playing it.

If you fancy adding another player to your friends list: GixxerDrei

Sweet, once I've finished all 3, I'll probably jump on MP for a bit of fun. Or maybe whilst playing #3.

I'm in love being a biotic. So much fun!

I played through Mass Effect 6 or 7 times for the many outcomes and endings, playing as good characters and bad characters etc, it's my all time favourite game/trilogy. Without a shadow of a doubt, full Biotic was easily my most enjoyable, and playing at the hardest difficulty as well. Starting out will be rough, but the reward and fun you have as you see your powers improve is massively satisfying. You can really control the battlefield with them, do not be frightened of only using pistol as your powers are way more superior. Playing as a Biotic makes the combat way more tactical and enjoyable in my opinion.

This. I played Mass Effect 3 ONLY for the powers. Literally could not care any less about the story / dialogue.
 
The MP side is great fun as you get waves of enemies and you are 4 players which means you can combine powers for amazing chains and explosions, as I said the game was crazy fun and still is if you get a group. Only problem is that if you never done MP you will start from 0. You will have to level up your characters, find weapons and different mods etc.
 
Man the combat in this is pretty tough. I'm doing the rescue Doctor Liara mission. It took me over 10 attempts to get past the first cut scene followed by combat and I've been through a similar amount of attempts following the cut scene at the top of the lift after rescuing Liara. Any tips? I'm playing as a Vanguard...
 
That lift fight is one of the hardest in the game. Try and take out the Krogan first because he's a bugger. I think as a Vanguard you want to use throw and knock him over and then get as many shots in.

Hope you put some points into pistol damage. Use marksman with incendiary rounds and just pummel him (the Krogan), keep using barrier & when he gets too close use throw. Use your teammates to keep the others off you while you wail on him.
 
I love these games!!!! I'm close to completing #1 and I've already installed #2. Last night I got to the bit where your first meet Sovereign and this line gave me goosebumps:

"Your words are as empty as your future. I am the vanguard of your destruction"

I mean seriously, what a game and it's only #1. The game design, story details, weapon & armour mods, it's one of the best games I have ever played - and this is my 2nd time through.

I've not found any game quite like it - so immersive!
 
I'm playing through ME series for the first time too! Finished ME1 recently and now on ME2. Great games, playing as a badass Soldier shepherd. I love the brutality, I've been genuinely surprised quite a few times by the dialogue/actions. Once I picked a particularly 'renegade' dialogue choice which resulted in me saying 'holy ****' outloud - I thought he was gonna do something badass but not that badass! You simply don't see games that do stuff like this much anymore.

Also, the gameplay/graphical leap from #1 to #2 is really very pronounced. Really helps the game.
 
Thanks for the tips guys. I haven't found incendiary rounds yet - perhaps I have came here a bit early - it's the first planet I have explored. I don't think I have barrier do I? I have put points into pistol. I'm still getting to grips with the combat and controlling the squad though and the 'strategic combat' is a bit alien to me, not played many games of that ilk...

You'll be hooked mate ;)

I've not actually used incendiary rounds but swap my loadout depending on who I'm up against. Synths or Organics, I will swap the ammo upgrade accordingly. Once you hit level 20+, you start getting a decent range of weapons. I'm currently using an assault rifle which does a base damage of 300. Mods to this weapon include Combat Scanner (for now) and Kinetic Stabiliser.

Heavy Human armour makes a difference too, I've got a shield module which adds 120% shields and a hardened weave upgrade.
 
Is it worth buying some armour guys? I keep looking at them in the stores but they would cost about 75% of my credits and I don't want to blow the dosh if I'm likely to find something similar when I'm out and about exploring? Advice?
 
Another question for the veterans - how do I upgrade my electronics skills? I was unable to salvage a crashed probe as this skill was too low. Can't I offset that by brining a strong technical squad member with me?
