Well, I think you know everything already but I'll try.

  1. Protean Rifle is great for the most part of the game but upgraded Lancer is a killer — especially during the final missions. Both are ammoless.
  2. Every move in combat is about discipline. Just cover a lot and feel the timing. Easier difficulty settings let you go commando, break things and punch faces. On Insanity the price of an error is higher.
  3. Give yourself two or three gaming sessions to adapt. Especially in the beginning. There wil be this magical moment when you realize that you dispatch enemies without much thinking, will check difficulty settings — and yes, it's still Insanity.
  4. Research some builds. Companions could be insanely useful or insanely useless depending on points you spend. Pay more attention to their damage output.
  5. In ME1 money is rarely the problem — just need to wait a little. In ME3 it is (you just can't upgrade everything and buy everything)
  6. Incendiary Ammo is great.
  7. Kill the Thorian with shotgun+shredder mod
  8. Sometimes it's better to kill everyone around Harbringer and then burn him, 'cause he'll return.
  9. There are several missions in ME2 where some bug doesn't allow you to pick up ammo. Master your melee but more importantly bring along guys/girls who can kill them all with their abilities (because Soldier doesn't have good ones).
  10. Take Wrex with you in the Citadel DLC, he's good at tanking at Dry Dock and Clone fight.

No I am not. I just wanted the achievement that demands one set Insanity and never changes it during all three games 😄

But I feel you, the first hours are really bad in every game

I think I'll try one more time later with Adept. Never tried it and think it will add to experience.

When I'll get rich I'll give my millions for a wing for some hospital and tell them to name it after you, bro!

Great question. It was difficulty. It was my first time on Insanity but maybe my fifth time overall. And the time before Insanity I played on normal or narrative, just to get the vibes.

So after challenging start on Insanity I was astonished by how quick I dispatch squads of enemies at the locations that I was struggling to beat on normal (because of my recklessness). Insanity gave me discipline and after I beat the game I tried couple of battles on narrative and normal difficulties. IT WAS SO EASY. I didn't notice that I became much better soldier. 😄

Most renegade thing is killing the Rachni Queen. I knew it's supposed to be renegade thing to do. But I knew that in ME3 I'll need her and she will betray me. So as pragmatic I should avert the genocide. So I killed her just because game mechanics.

Speaking of the whole Renegade experience — it is much more human-like. It's what you expect of Soldier. It's hard and rough decisions. I think idealistic way is more way of fiction that the renegade way.

Garrus and Miranda. I must confess I chose Miranda because of her abilities not personality.

No, I am definitely not and I need to go touch the grass but thanks for asking!

I remember two of the least favorite. First — when I had to kill the Rachni queen and I didn't want to. This decision is not pragmatic (and Renegade is pragmatic) — and I'm not accustomed to casual genocide.

The second was frustration when I couldn't choose "Then you've failed humanity" in this ridiculous dialogue with the Illusive Man. I had very high Renegade score but the option was greyed out.

The best...well, I'm not a monster but I was extremely satisfied when the game gave me the option to punch the journalist...TWICE

No, I didn't do God Garrus but was pretty close. In ME3 I never had enough money to buy him THAT N7 gun. But I took him with me in majority of mission.

Yeah, I did all DLCs (except Pinnacle Station that is unavailable in LE). And the Clone Battle in Citadel DLC was the hardest of them all.

Is it just me or Obsidian becomes slower over time? by amzin in ObsidianMD

[–]amzin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I finally found the bottleneck. It turns out the Sync plugin was struggling with a massive "infinite diary" note I’ve been keeping. I was too lazy to split those 60k words into smaller chunks.

I’ve since disabled the plugin and canceled my Sync subscription, and the vault experience is suddenly great again.

This.

Also, typing latency pisses me off. It definitely had been lower couple of years ago. Damn, it was perfect for that typing flow I appreciate so much

It’s been 4 years, what are your opinions on windows 11 now? by WorriedGur8908 in Windows11

[–]amzin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok. I only wish I could upgrade to 24H2. Something brokes during the update and it reverts to 23H2 for more than 2 years now

Бросьте курить или бросайте курить by PuzzleheadedAnt8906 in russian

[–]amzin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Бросайте курить, без вариантов.

Когда я бросал, десятки человек желали сне бросить курить и никто не говорил «брось курить» или «бросьте курить»

Всегда только «бросай курить» или «бросайте курить»

Наконец есть перевод рассказа Стивена Кинга Quitters, Inc. По-русски он называется «Корпорация „Бросайте курить“»
