Actually looks pretty damn good... I hope I dont live to regret that statement...

Yeah I'm super pumped up. Though I wish that EVERY SINGLE CLASS didn't rely on grenades, mines, etc. I guess they didn't want to just limit the soldier with another resource, and I guess grenades make sense as some sort of extra universal resource, but still... what exactly is the logic with a biotic grenade? Also, I'm disappointed to see VANGUARD mentioned twice and zero mention of adept.

They hate the Adept, it's a remnant from their more RPG days as opposed to tactical shooter with skills. It's not surprising they wont show it. They didn't show it much with Mass Effect 2 either, hell people didn't even know the class existed for the most part from advertising. I know from memory on the BIoware forums there was a big topic that was confused because there were

[Lory Da Costa]

Better idea. Stop talking about leaked scripts for those of us who would like to play the game to find out what happens.

That leak isnt accurate anyway.

Allthough talking about the script is a good way to convince people to save their money. Seriously its horrible, do not buy.

Haha wow, now the art book is leaked You cant do anything right can you Bioware ?

The artbook also confirms 2 horrible squad ideas, and another biowere retcon. I am glad this is dead to me.

Yeah I agree, after watching that one trailer with the giant worm an robot. I've lost a lot of hope for ME3.

It is too bad. I suppose part of the problem is that adepts don't have that much of a unique niche - other than singularity, they don't have anything really unique to their class, and singularity isn't that impressive of a signature power compared to any of the other signature powers - adrenaline rush, cloak, drone, tech armor, or biotic charge. If singularity was able to bleed through for reduced effect, it might be more impressive. That's part of what make fighting the asari commandos in ME1 such a pain - their biotic powers were able to bled through your shield. I'm not saying I want the AI to be able to do that, but I think if the completely control focused class had one unique power like that, it would be solid. Stasis is good, but vanguards can get stasis too, and it only controls a single target.

[Travis]

Holy hell, if you couldn't tell the ilusive man was indocrinated from the first nanosecond of seeing his eyes I feel very sorry for you. Good gods people, all he needs is a twirly mustache, goatee, and to swear he'll get us and our little dog too to complete the picture.

I knew right from the beginning he wasn't what he seemed. He was too willing to let us do things the way we wanted just to obtain his goals and knew too much about the Reapers IMHO.

I miss the Adept from Mass Effect 1, THAT was fun. You started off kind of weak, but by the end your a bitoic slinging god. Linear warrior quadratic wizard. Not quadratic warrior negative quadratic wizard or something.

[Jennifer Rose]

Wait, Adepts svck in ME2? Well, that means I'm not transferring my ME1 Adept save into ME2. I've played through both games as Engineer, and I'm about halfway through ME1 as an Adept.

It's doable, but is a grind and isn't fun compared to the other classes.

[Matthew Aaron Evans]

So, what is this about EDI as a six-bot? Please tell me this is fabricated. I won't be buying the game, regardless, but I'm imagining, right now, just how much the writers will have embarrassed themselves if they did make EDI a six-bot.

Did they really make EDI a six-bot?

It's been a long time since I played any ME, but;

1) Who is EDI?

2) I know BW has gone a little away from the one we used to know, but I still have faith that they wouldn't turn ANYTHING into a six-bot.

[Solène We]

1) Who is EDI?

Your spacecraft's AI. Apparently she gets a body in ME3? A sixy body?

2) I know BW has gone a little away from the one we used to know, but I still have faith that they wouldn't turn ANYTHING into a six-bot.

I don't know... (anymore)

Huh, never heard about that. In truth, I haven't been following the game much at all, and I've mostly just looked at some MP gameplay to see how it is.

[Catharine Krupinski]

She gets a body. If you consider metal sixy, sure why not. I mean yes it has the female form to it, but I think it personally looks a little creepy. Uncanny valley all the way, but you know some people. Tap dat... with a hammer. Then again it makes sense, she was put into an espionage bot. This robot can take on the physical features of skin/clothing if I can remember the leak correctly. So naturally your going to want the form to look appealing. I think it makes perfect sense, and this is the place in real life that is accurate. Beautiful people may get more attention, but people often go out of their way to treat them nicer. Psychology is fun!

What would be even cooler and creepier is if she had variable chasis mode. So she/they could take on the appearance of any gender or species within acceptable size limits. Then they could have had a whole new personality for the male side that was already defaulted into the machine and would take over when disguised as a guy. Then EDI would be the voice for the female versions. Then crazy split personality arguments. Tons of drama. I'm kind of surprised they didn't do this to be honest. It's such an easy idea.

[Olga Xx]

How about we stop talking about the leak, or use spoiler tags. That would be really great.

[Sista Sila]

Indeed. From my experience, if you want to deal a damage dealing caster class, the sentinel is it. On Insanity, playing a control oriented character just isn't all that fun if you start from level 1. It is probably the only class I don't like playing anymore. I never tried new game + on the adept, but perhaps that is the approach you have to take, since lower level on Insanity you are very weak and you only actually catch up with DLC stuff and once your powers become AE.

Anyway,s at this stuff about EDI becoming a squaddie... one of my suitemates was telling me about that... I hope that's just a troll. A ) because I don't want to have had the game spoiled and B ) it is so cliche.

Everything is a cliche, it just depends on how much they're used. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

I played an Adept run on insanity from ME1 through ME2. The Adept is far from weak.

Saving all the crates was impressive, but again, Stasis. Any class can use stasis, and any class can use the mattock after the collector ship if they choose AR training. Doesn't really say anything about the power of the adept, but the power of DLC stuff.

Pfft, that's weak bro. Would have had that [censored] done much faster as any other class. Not to mention it falls into the SAME trap of singularity/warp spam. Oooo so awesome and unique. Seriously why do people delude themselves into thinking the Adept is an equal. It's not. So boring bro, I miss the days of Mass Effect 1 where you coud use all of your powers. Your whole thing was crowd contorl and it worked. Now its singularity warp spam. It's so debased from the original badass I feel sorrow. Every other class can apparently be overpowered or have an overpowered move. but oh gods no, not the Adept. Lets design him to just scraqe by, and require the DLC packs to becoming even slightly closer to being an equal.

Soldiers are pure survivability and carnage damage. By far the best class in the game because of how versatile they can be with ammo and guns.
Engineer had great powers.
Vanguard was tough, but rewarding if you could master it. The charge thing was pretty insane. I hear it's a steep learning curve though.
Sentinel has the best and most adpatible array of powers. Just awesome. Not to mention tech armour which was amazing.
Infiltraitor has early acces to snipers which helped with tons of enemies provided you were a good shot (which I was). And he had cloak so he could get into and out of situations at will.

What do all of these classes seem to have? Versatility and adaptability over and above the Adept. Now in ME3 some of them are even stealing the Adept'ss thunder and getting control abilities that presumably work against shielded enemies. So wait what's the point of the Adept again? Anyone feel like reminding me?

Edit
I beat the game with nothing but pistols on Insanity and singularity/warp. It felt like cheating with the mattock and by the time I got stasis I was so awesme at warp/singularity spam I just didn't really need it. Though I did do a fun run through with the mattock once too.

Ahhh!!!! Learn to use spoiler tags!!!!!

Yeah, sorry. I always spoiler Beth stuff... I just didn't think to do it for ME3. I deserve reproach, flagellation, defenestration, and condemnation.

Great, and I thought the Halo influence was just in the combat.

Yet another snooty post from Negative Nancy. Why am I not suprized? The point was not to compare the Adept to others. It was just to show that the Adept is a perfectly viable character build as any other.

The Sold is powerful but I don't find them all that. You are limited to not a lot more than pulling a trigger. I'm sure that will be attractive the COD kiddies.

If you are just going to respond with with slamming verbal temper tantrums then don't reply at all.

EDIT : This is the exact reason I left the Boiware Social. What is happening to this younger generation? They have absolutely no respect for others what so ever. It is truly sad, indeed.
