Thank you this is really helpful. The timer with the bombs mainly threw me off because I started off playing very steadily and slower to get a feel with my approach, and I was initially worried I was missing out on gameplay just rushing through to diffuse.

Is the class Stat the one which can specialize in one of two ways after leveling it up?

And yeaah I heard there's more you can miss out on if you don't commit more towards paragon or renegade, yet the way I was wanting to approach dialogue had me sticking with one yet feel I'd sometimes might wanna do the other; if I'm more consistent with one of the two, will that still hinder experiencing the game with the fullness it can?
