What class are you playing as?

Soldier. Always soldier on the original trilogy.

Replaying it on Insanity for the first time. The first game was surprisingly easy- having Liara as a squadmate and using singularity is so damn op. I am nearly finished the 2nd (going through the DLC's before doing the Reaper IFF mission) and it has definitely been more of a challenge. I tried 2 on Insanity before but couldn't get past Horizon. I managed to do the final Horizon battle first time. I am not looking forward to the 3rd game. There are so many missions off the top of my head that I know are going to be ridiculously tough.

That's my next play through (insanity)

Spoiler: Soldier Tips for ME3 Insanity

Depending on your playstyle there are 2 options:

• Only guns: The N7 Typhoon with the amour piercing mod can shoot through cover and those annoying Cerberus shields. With a shotgun and sniper rifle you can **** up anything. Use Adrenaline Rush to get plenty of headshots and your ammo powers as you need
• Mostly powers: Go light with the M8 avenger and maybe a sniper rifle or a pistol but you want 200% power recharge speed. Upgrade Concussive Shot so it gets the ammo power you have attached this will allow it to detonate combos. So you shoot a few times with the Avenger to prime the target then hit them with Concussive shot causing a major pyro/biotic/tech/cryo combo. With a fully upgraded assault rifle you can destroy a Harvester with a single clip
• Squadmates: Liara and Garrus/Tali/EDI. Liara's singularity makes Guardians a joke whilst the other take care of shielded enemies with Overload or Energy Drain

Finished the trilogy on Insanity. It was not as hard as I was expecting, tbh. Although, making Garrus OP in the 3rd game did come in clutch a lot. The real killer was the lack of ammo at times. That really got me at the end of the Collector Base.

The only thing that really shit me is missing out on the Paramour 3 achievement because I romanced Liara in all 3 games. Even if you rekindle it in 2 during The Lair of the Shadow Broker you don't get the achievement because she is technically not part of the crew.

I didn't really like the Typhoon that much. It did ridiculously high damage but the accuracy was horrible. But, I did take it on the final part of the Omega DLC and it did come in clutch taking out the adjutants.

Yeah I missed out on that as well (Liara romance all the way) until my partner played and romanced someone else

Yeah I don't like the Typhoon either. It's the gun I give to my squad mates. I prefer the Lancer with pyro combos on everything

I ended up just using the Mattock. I mostly stay in cover and snipe so I just needed something decent with good accuracy for any close up action.

Playing the games with mods is also a game changer and highly recommended. Not having to waste time planet scanning during 2 saved so much time.
