mass effect for the 11thish time...trying something kind of different
sentinel with singularity as an extra skill
using ASHLEY (i hate her...so this will be new) and garrus
otherwise my shepard looks the same, only blacker, and with white lipstick and white eye stuff, kind of GANGURO
as for the 'blivion. either A i start getting into it, B i find some more mods, C turn it into a morbrowind thread. either way, no updates for a while.
so yeah, that.
also, leveling priority in this game
keep charm maxed>armor to get shield boost > specter to get unity > weapon > everything else
that's how i roll. also for engineerey people, decription/electronics are first, so i don't miss a single item.
*edit*
ok this is weird. even with my adept and engineer playthrough for achievements, i never really used/found much use in combat for party members.
but like, sentinel has no "weapon" skills or even no "armor" skills. i mean, i guess the class skill gives some bonuses to pistols, but nothing for armor. because of that, i have an asston of different abilities at any one time. so i kind of try to chill farish away from the bad dudes. ashley kind of just shoots dudes with shotgun (or other random weapons she decides to randomly switch to without my permission....that "bug" needs to be fixed in the next game. i mean, when i want ashley to do CARNAGE and she has the fucking useless assault rifle out, I CANT FUCKING DO CARNAGE FOR AN HOUR IT TAKES HER TO SWITCH BACK WEAPONS IF SHE DOES SO IN THE FIRST PLACE AFTER I TOLD HER TO SWITCH) and nothing much more. garrus is like SNIPER RIFLE I CAN USE IT FUCKER DIE. so if i can keep him back (he ain't the most durable fucker in the kitchen, even with max electronics) he basically kills everything, my job is kind of to shoot bitches with the pistol whilst knocking people around (neural shock, throw, lift, singularity). and pistols do pretty ok damage, and marksman (oddly the sentinal class skill gives this ability) makes your pistol into an automatic weapon, so the damage is nice.
huge block of text = garrus + sniper rifle = probably the only combat useful party member in terms of killing people with guns
no joke, in my 10 playthroughs, none of them have been "hybrid" classes. and about all 10 were with soldier. (got to the end of the game but deleted said files after achievements with engineer/adept)
but if you have singularity unlocked, why would you even want an adept? i guess you could have an assault rifle or shotgun, and you have an armor skill. but really you don't want a shotty on insanity if you aren't a soldier, the AR is the ken of weapons in this game so don't use it, and the sniper is kind of difficult to use in this game all the time, so you would waste more points in a secondary closer range weapon. sentinel gets like a million abilites, ALL of them are useful, this gives you more shit to throw in combat that isn't shootan, and pistols are pretty damn good in my opinion, with hammerhead rounds, that's a lot of knockdown bullets flying around slowing enemies down whilst your party executes them.
but it's all a matter of opinion i guess. i mean, i hear some people actually ENJOY the vanguard. i mean, soldier + singularity(i don't even use this, i should have got electronics instead for more shields, odd because it's like the best biotic power in the game WHY USE MAJICK WHEN I GOT GUN) >>>>>>>>>>> vanguard
THE REAL TLDR- I REALLY LIKE THIS GAME AND I AM STILL RAMBLING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IM TIRED AND I DID STAY UP LATE PLAYING THIS VIDJA CRACKok so i got to novera and decided, IM GOING INSANITY DIFCULTY
so going to use this "build" (yes a build, the fuck, im not me) with the same allies...only im going to have ashley go sniper rifles as well. main reason is she can use the AR when needed (IGNORANT ME) and well, shotties on insanity actually require you to be close to dudes. and well, im not in direct control of ashley...thus she will do more damage on insanity missing with a sniper rifle, if she hits, well gal durnit she might kill something.

sentinel build on the bottom
this will be the first playthrough i don't invest any points into charm/intimidate
