It says headshot, but just get a kill attacking through the slot.  I think that is automatic headshot dmg.

Insanity is pretty easy.  Especially sense I have fully upped powers and I discovered the Particle Rifle.  I'm using Garrus and James with Cryo Ammo Particle Rifles along with me and we are just tearing it up.

I'm interested to see how difficulty Banshees will be.

I just finished up my 2nd run on Insanity.  I think the last mission save for the Citadel before the end section was 22h 49m.  So it was much faster.  I actually had more military resources this game and was lvl 50 in the end compared to 48 on my first game.

Also you can get all 3 endings without importing a character.  I got all 3 choices this time.

I think if you choose synthesis, no matter what EDI will appear in the end with Joker along with one of your other squad members you used in the last section.  But on the other 2 choices, whoever you used will appear with Joker.

I did skip a lot of dialogue.  It's all the same pretty much except for the first couple lines.  So I tend to skip through most of it.  Unless I'm doing something different, then I listen to everything. 

I still had fun playing on insanity.  I probably wasn't as excited for some of the sections because I've done them before, but the combat was still fun.  Also the sections that I enjoy the most were still enjoyable.  Although I did go through them much faster.  Nothing will probably match the first time you play it because you don't know what to expect.  Still the combat was fun and high paced.

Now if I play it more I gotta get creative.  I like to try and create my own story or challenge myself to doing certain things in combat. 


I do have an idea for a 3rd run.  I wanted to try and get as little resources as possible.  So it will be a straight shot to the end.  Just a bare bone run and see what happens and see how difficult it would be.  I think enemies scale with you so it probably won't be that hard.

You can loose missions.

I waited too long on the mission where you save the students.  I found out later that everyone was killed and the mission was removed from the map.  I just wonder how other thigns would turn out.  Like if Jacob would die or would you even know Jacob was there.

First I plan to try out the muitplayer a lot more.

@x-pres

I'm curious as to what you would have done differently than me to get the synthesis ending...What was your EMS at the end btw?

In my opinion the final push to the citadel (where you are charging straight at the beam with the reaper takings out your guys left and right) is one of the coolest action scenes in a game.  Just my thoughts

Definitely an interesting video. 


My EMS was 2809 and TMS was 5618 before the attack on the Elusive Man.  I went full Renegade.  I think I ended up having a full red bar.  I checked it in London and it looked maxed out.

I tricked the Krogan and had support from both the Krogan and Salarians.  Also I helped the Rachni.  I think those were the big decisions that I had made.  I didn't keep the one squadmate who gets injured.  I let him join the other guy.  That adds Alliance strength to the score. 

How does multiplayer effect single player games?  Do you have to import that character to single player or does it automatically effect it?


@nr3cithm39hti:

LOL at that vid.

Hmmmm, ya probably having something to do with those options because I cured the genophage and left the queen.  Did you save the Geth or the Quarians this time around?

Multiplayer boosts your readiness rating.  It's usually at 50% and will stay at 50% unless you play multiplayer, and mp can boost it all the way to 100%.  So it basically allows you to either get a higher EMS rating or just allow you to do less work in sp and still get a decently high EMS (if you didn't know, the readiness rating multiplies itself by your total assets and that's your EMS, so a higher readiness means less units are taken away).

And you don't import your sp character but rather you rank up mp classes.  You have all 6 classes or so and you upgrade/rank each of them depending on what you use.

I saved the Quarians and destroyed the Geth.

Ok so if I play multiplayer and increase readiness, it will effect all of my single player characters?

Ok this isn't ME3, but it's pretty cool.

Correct.  It will take immediate effect for all current saves.

I remember the bachelor party from my playthrough of ME2   And that cryo video is pretty sweet haha.

Well I may hold off on MP then.  May have to do my speed run with smallest amount of EMS I can get.    I also read that there was a rate of decay of MP readiness.  So if you stop playing for a while, the number will slowly decrease.

I need to get the Overload achievement anyways and check out the sniper rifles.  As well as 51 more melee kills for that achievement. 


Oh and I responded to your PM.

Ya, it slowly burns away if you don't play the multiplayer.  Not sure the exact rate though but it's not like you'll lose 20 percentage points in a day

Oh and I responded to your PM.

Thanks, got it.

ROFL, awesome vid. 



Well I started a 3rd run again on insanity.    I'm going for as little EMS as possible.  Does anyone know how to trigger the cure mission for the Krogan?  I'm at that point and it's not showing up yet.  Is it a time thing and would I need to do at least one mission?


I went Sentinel so I could get the Overload Accomplishment, but I'm full sniper.  I grabbed slam for my bonus power.  It's kind of fun to use.    I'll be going female renegade.  I'm actually have a lot of fun with this.  It requires some more tactical combat then previous setups.  At least in the beginning anyways.
