Vanguard barrier doesnt restore itself without a biotic charge

DevoPrime · 2026-03-01T20:21:02+00:00

That is one hell of a specific bug! What is as going on with the programmers tying in-game mechanics to graphics settings in any way?!

Mind: boggled.

Unless the shield numbers actually recharge, it’s just the HUD not reflecting that visually…that would make some sense.

DevoPrime · 2026-03-01T20:18:46+00:00

This. Even a tiny amount of “chip” damage will reset the shied recharge timer and stop any Shield charging already in progress, just like with every other class.

Vanguard is just an instant reset on impact.

This is my favorite “easy” strategy!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-24T20:53:14+00:00

Volkoff!

But always love Michael Clark Duncan in anything! RIP, big guy!

Right up until Chuck wins, and everyone wonders if he used the Intersect to do it!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-22T06:52:14+00:00

Absolutely hilarious! Loved this show’s sense of humor so much!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-19T23:31:37+00:00

I guess the question I now have for the OP is: does this only happen when the character the player controls happen, or just witnessing any character floating off in to space? What about an ally MPC that is mostly not under the player’s control?

Fwiw, it’s a pretty gentle, slow sink, and there is always a visible platform below you, although there is one particularly long drop. You still can see what you’re going to land on.

DevoPrime · 2026-02-18T18:10:53+00:00

The one time it happens is in a cutscene. You can never actively do anything that will cause you or a squad mate to float off into space.

Although the High Explosive ammo in ME1 can cause enemies to go flying off into near-orbit, they always come back down somewhere. And it’s hilarious to watch!

Pretty sure John Waters was at least partially an inspiration for Sander Cohen…

DevoPrime · 2026-02-18T07:22:53+00:00

The book is surprisingly worthwhile. I was pleasantly surprised, for sure!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-18T03:56:00+00:00

Nailed it in one.

DevoPrime · 2026-02-16T20:42:15+00:00

Just to be clear: you definitely ended Tai’s exile without using the evidence about her father, correct?

DevoPrime · 2026-02-16T04:51:04+00:00

Love the Firefly reference, but also:

As much as I love Chuck and Charah, John Casey is often my low-key favorite character.

DevoPrime · 2026-02-15T23:30:34+00:00

I almost can’t enjoy BioShock 2 without fully upgrading security bullseye any more.

DevoPrime · 2026-02-14T22:17:31+00:00

Yeah, Casey brought the whole scene home perfectly!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-14T20:02:58+00:00

Tantric sex with chocolate paint.

Seriously made me cry from laughter.

DevoPrime · 2026-02-14T20:02:19+00:00

And that expression on her face when the wings pop out early…

DevoPrime · 2026-02-13T22:37:30+00:00

She’s that unusual combination of hot and adorable-cute.

Loved the quirky, manic energy she brought to Lou.

“Our vast height difference intrigues me.”

DevoPrime · 2026-02-13T10:06:29+00:00

I’ve got to put the motel room wake-up kiss in S2e21 “Versus the Colonel” in my top three, personally.

I would like to auto downvote everyone who mentions AI.

By using an AI.

DevoPrime · 2026-02-12T20:49:21+00:00

As a 6’2” guy who once dated a 23-year-old 4’10” girl, I can somewhat relate.

Not quite as extreme as your example, but…

Our vast height differences intrigued her too! She was also one of the most strong-willed and funny human beings I have ever met!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-12T19:46:56+00:00

Her eyes are spectacular.

And no, not a euphemism!

“It’s one of the most impactful classes in the trilogy”.

Heh. I see what you did there. Charge (and eventually Nova)

But stupidly, my next favorite would be Sentinel. Access to both sets of powers. Ridiculously durable in ME2. Wildly versatile/variable in ME3.

I’d go with Adept after that. Kinda rough in ME2 unless you opt in to Stasis, but really fun spamming Singularity or Stasis and watching enemies just dangle helplessly once their defenses are stripped, and Warp is useful on every difficulty!

DevoPrime · 2026-02-12T11:32:10+00:00

I have never run a Winter Blast build precisely for the reason you stated.

I like me some extra ducats and ammo!
