I do not believe letting your crew die awards you renegade points.

It fits my "Who Cares About Cerberus Mooks" personality, though.

Also tags any relevant flags for ME3. I'll save the fuckers in my Paragon Insanity Sent play. Sentinels are pretty cool for having all the defense stripping powers themselves. Means I can experiment with squad-mates this time.

I gave my Paragon Sentinel Zaeed's Inferno Grenade power. Sure, it's not the most efficient ability, but it's one of the most satisfying. I fell in love with it at one point during Kasumi's loyalty mission, when I opened the power wheel and I was actually behind this guy, and I said out loud "Hey guess what?", and then while I tossed a Molotov Cocktail at him I said "Fire Grenade!".

And then he melted.

Paragon, bro.

Reaper IFF Mission is fucking hilarious on Insanity. Especially the finale.

I can imagine. Aren't the Husks armored on Insanity?

Every enemy has at least one defense, yes. Husks and Abominations are Armored.

I basically did figure 8 laps around the room while letting them pile-up on my cohorts, who I had to revive three times(six gel, two at a time.) Miranda and Kasumi, so I had quick-cooldown-Slam for unarmored, Warp for armored, and Kasumi's flashbang grenade for both. It also has decent AoE at less than max rank and randomly causes CC(stunned/dazed), which auto-kills any Husk regardless of defenses left, life left or difficulty. I used Incinerate on cooldown and Sniper Rifle shots(the time slow helps immensely to reposition, refocus and this applies triply so to actually hitting the Reaper Core) in between.

I died seven times, always due to traffic backing up. You literally can't move when you're surrounded by physical bodies, whoddathunk.

I guess my Heavy Weapon Choice could have helped, but not this time. Collector Particle Beam compliments Infiltrator well for self-sufficient "Can Deal With Any Defense", Barriers and Shields extra-fast in this case. Didn't feel like reloading, especially since everything prior to the final room is easy-cheesy power-spam while backing up.

Are you going to try and get Miranda and Jacob killed?

No, this is my perfect ME3 file, but "I Check Your Mail For You Because That Console Is An Entire 3 Feet Away" Girl is a goner.

As I mentioned, Miranda is kinda cool because she's just blatantly one of the best combat characters. Her unique power set-up is just miles ahead of most squad-mates.

Yeah, I understand that it's basically impossible to clear ME3 on Insanity and not use Miranda because she's just so fucking broken.

I really don't like her so much as a character, but all of that CC and all of that damage on such short cooldowns is all kinds of unreasonable.

The % damage increase to the entire squad really seals the deal.

Fucking with Joker is using up all of the available resources that EDI could be using to feed your fish.

Also, I know this is pretty far out there, but...what if somebody designed some sort of feature where your computer could MAKE some kind of sound to let you know you have new E-Mail?

Or did I just automate another poor employee right out of a job?

Don't forget, her real job is to psychoevaluate each member of the crew

and in the future, this is accomplished by way of dance

DANGEROUS, VIOLENT AND UNPREDICTABLE

This would be useful if every Shepard didn't talk to them anyways to mine Paragon/Renegade points, romances, and surprisingly good writing(sup Grunt.)

speaking of great writing why can't I fuck Mordin, the most charming, cultured, confident and mature man in the entire series

Somebody's ready for Mass Effect 3.

This is how the Suicide Mission feels on Insanity as Infiltrator, by the way:

This is just a heads up that Lair of the Shadow Broker is totally awesome and you should all go play it.

I watched my friend play through Operation Overlord and Kasumi.

Kasumi: That's passable, I guess. Sort of cheated on lack of real conversation with Kasumi (Like Zaeed)
Operation Overlord: Oh, Cerberus. (Amazing DLC overall.)

I got all the DLC packs that contain actual missions. Lair of the Shadow Broker was fun. Overlord was one of the major motivating factors for my going with the "Fuck Cerberus" ending. Mordin is the only person in the entire galaxy who knows how to do science responsibly.

Somehow I ended up with not enough money to buy all the upgrades and still have a rich character for exporting to ME3. I might play it again for extra paragons and renegades, but the money is the important thing. Is there a place, anywhere, to farm for that?

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.
