Yeah, it's not the first game I've played with grenades. I think I'm just not used to it in a Mass Effect game. I'm sure the very fact that they annoy me so much is hurting me too. Frustration doesn't really up one's game.

I might be able to survive a blast if I was playing as another class, but for my adept it's pretty much a one hit kill. Just annoying when you're fighting through endless waves of enemies and that one grenade can kill you and make you start over again.

Right now I'm annoyed by this barrier engine thing too. I can see it and put my crosshairs on it but none of my biotics will hit it for some weird reason. I guess I'll have to try using guns on it. It's annoying having all these biotically shielded husks and other enemies charging at me.
I found that having Liara on my team constantly using singularity while I blasted away with incinerate-tinged weapons as Shep made the vast majority of all fights very easy. Putting enemies in the air constantly is the only way to roll. 8)
Yeah, I haven't really had her on my team in a while. I was comboing off her singularity a lot early in the game. She's had pretty much zero recharge time on it. She is a fun squad mate. I was kind of hoping to combo my biotics off of Javik's Dark Channel, but the recharge time on it is ridiculous. He's not helping me much in the fight I'm currently in. Should have brought Garrus, he seems balanced for any fight.

Adept is a tough class on insanity. They can kill enemies who don't have defenses extremely fast with biotic combos + zero recharge time, but damn, they can go down in the blink of an eye if the enemy gets the drop on you or if you're faced with enemies that have tough defenses. More of a long range, hit and run class. Enemy gets in your face and you're dead.

Yeah I had Liara through 95% of the game probably. Singularity from her, plus my Throw (played a Sentinel) = INVINCIBLE! I was just doing tech combo bursts everywhere and tossing everyone aside, the final upgrade for Throw making it go into two projectiles was too good.

I switched out Garrus, Javik, and James for my third slot most of the time. Loved Garrus the most though, he always had amazing dialogue during the missions, and Concussive Shot is just awesome.

Just as an FYI, the enemies you'll hate the most in the game regardless of class have tough defenses.

I've had Garrus on my squad on a lot of missions, should have brought him on this one too. He can handle annoying barriers. He does have a lot of insightful dialog and great lines. Very level headed guy and a smart character. Yeah, you and dsheinem are right, Liara is very good. Might have to start bringing her with me again. She synergizes much better with my class, as you said, she is great for combos. That's really what my Shepherd is all about(I have the cool double throw upgrade too), doesn't hurt that she's my Shep's girlfriend too.

Well, I got through that annoying fight I was in with a change of tactics. Leave it to Grunt to make me smile again.

"We're fine Shepherd. Krogans fight better when they're angry"

:lol:

I'm sure most of the characters can be used in most situations, but yeah she's just so awesome haha. I've been using her again the most in my Insanity run so far. Her cooldown (or lack of) as you mentioned is just ridiculous. But yeah she goes great with Sentinel, probably Adept's too. Adept's seem like they've always been pretty overpowered in the whole trilogy, lol.

I've been curious of playing multiplayer with no weapons, lol. Just using some biotic classes and spamming powers like crazy.

Yeah, that's how I'm going through single player, spamming powers. One of the reasons I chose the adept class is because I didn't want to be bothered with the whole weight thing that slows down your cool down on powers. I don't like when rpgs bog you down with worrying about the weight of your equipment. With adepts, you don't need weapons, so I've basically got no weight restrictions and a power recharge time of 200%. I can use powers freely like a freaking jedi, but I'm easily to kill as a drawback. I'm hoping to get some upgrades to help with that. The fact that I don't have to worry about buying/upgrading weapons for Shepherd is really, really, nice. Playing this class is kind of freeing. For the price of being easy to kill, you get a lot of advantages.

Well, I just sacrificed Grunt's friends and the best warriors the Krogan race had to offer to save the Rachni race from enslavement and extinction. I'm not sure if I should be happy about that or not. I'm surprised Wrex isn't pissed about it....but I haven't talked to Grunt yet.

Way to trick me with Grunt's fake death scene Bioware. I would have been PISSED if Grunt died.

Another bug I've encountered a lot now is that one that has Shepherd and other characters not looking at each other during dialog scenes. It's really, really awkward. Sometimes funny, but none in a good way.

They really didn't polish up this entry. It's very buggy even by their standards. It actually looks uncomfortable how much Shepherd is stretching his neck during some of those scenes when he's looking away

Oh yeah, total dick. Seriously, wow.

Interesting that the more I listen to Javik, the more I realize that Harbinger actually was a lot like a REAL Prothean.

Looks like I'm about to face the mother of all Thrasher Maws. This should be pretty epic.
