Trying to find a third power in single player is hard as a Vanguard, honestly.

I'm toying with the idea of Charge/Nova/Turbocharge because it just sounds really funny to me. I wish you had Throw and Pull as one power in this game.

I know you can punt people away with Pull if you melee them, maybe I'll just do that and charge after them. :v: Lance is okay but seemed underwhelming. It's basically a tinier less impressive Warp.

It's annoying being locked to three. I Don't really care for the profile system in singleplayer much. If I want to experiment it seems like you can get stretched too thin too easily.

Every character is boring except Grampa Drack and Reyes.

ALSO they still haven't fixed the "upgrade the Nomad's shield regenerators" bug or the "go see Addison and her Russian guy" quest yet.

Also also I played the contagion quest and loved it even though it involved running around a bunch of places.

I agree I really don't like how they limited it. I felt the same way with Inquisition limiting you to the powers you had directly equipped.

I might take Concussive Shot, it detonates and can have a very short cooldown with a radius. I mostly just hate Shockwave.

Honestly shockwave's not bad right now. In multi at least it's saved my life a lot. I may take the 6th point out of arms and toss it to level 3 there. In singleplayer I'll probably never use it though.

The weirdest thing about vanguards for me in 3 is the rhythm is a lot different, but it's really frenetic and fun.

When I Vanguard in SP I usually roll with Charge, Incinerate, and Lance or Throw. Lob an Incinerate at the guy you're gonna Charge, Lance if your Incinerate Primed someone else nearby.

Charge's big downside though is that half the enemies in the goddamn game keep walking into the terrain so you can't hit them. gently caress you observers get out of the tower already

Yeah Charge is not that useful in the open-world fights, I typically use a Sentinel profile with Incinerate/Overload/Energy Drain when I'm doing open world stuff. On actual missions where you fight in buildings or whatnot, then it's Charge Time.

Cora's the first Mass Effect character I liked less the more I talked to her. After I finished her loyalty mission I never wanted to talk to her again.

I liked Gil until he started talking about babies all the time. That was weird.

When Gil and Kallo dragged me into their argument I sided with Gil (because it wasn't even an argument, Kallo didn't have a leg to stand on) and Kallo got really, really upset. Bro, your way would have definitely got us killed ages ago, lighten up.

Kallo cools off and reconciles with Gil later if you side with Gil.

With his perfect memory issues it was understandably hard for him to see reason.

On the other hand I have every reason to believe based on his entire story arc that Gil is really stupid and might accidentally gently caress up the whole ship because he decided he wanted to install mood lights in the engine room on a whim.

I was having trouble with the "go see Addison and her assistant" one, too. If we're talking about the one to re-deploy the person for EOS, you have to ask the assistant about getting someone out of storage, the bottom right option. It was grayed out for me but it still worked.

What's wrong with the Addison and Russian Guy quest? I assume you mean the one to pull a colonist back out of cryo after they went back in because the original Eos colonies failed? If so, I had the devil of a time with that, until I realized you have to talk to Russian guy, go into a grey 'already talked about this' conversation to find the option to ask for her to be thawed. but there may be another bug I just didn't happen to hit?

Gil's the guy that thinks it's a great idea to mention that he's an aimless layabout as his introduction to you.

"Hi I'm your space mechanic and I don't have anything to live for."

"Wow, I expect you to sabotage the ship."

Yeah imagine someone pulling the dashboard off a car to tinker with the AC while you're on a road trip, while insisting they don't need a manual because their gut tells them what to do.
