DA fan gives ME:A a second chance (Text Based Let's Play)

Right? I thought being honest about why Ryder was on Aya would impress him. "WE're here to go into your Vault." And then he just implied I was a simpleton for thinking it would be that easy.  Then Auto Dialogue had my character answer his rhetorical question and he called me Pitiful for "trying to impress" him. I'm feeling like maybe Jaal and Sara aren't a match after all, considering I've received more insults than compliments. 

I was pretty blah about everyone my first game too, and ended up choosing Vetra because, well, turian.    I've since romanced all squaddies except Peebee (will probably try her next), Gil, and "mystery character you haven't met yet" twice. No interest in Suvi or the sideshow romances of Keri or Avela.

Kind of hard to get a shot off with enemies swarming all over you.

Real men don't use tactical cloaks.

That's why you keep snipers long-range and consider taking tactical cloak, so you don't have to worry about being swarmed.

Course I prefer to add scopes for the added accuracy boost, even when not playing as an Infiltrator. With my Sentinel/Engineer playthroughs, I ran through the game sniping with assault rifles and pistols, only occasionally swapping to a sniper rifle if it was needed.

For sustained battles, I tended to opt for using two assault rifles and a pistol instead, since sniper rifles tend to run out of ammo extremely fast. The extra assault rifle was mostly used as a backup weapon so I wouldn't have to run out of cover and to the nearest ammo crate.

Is the only time to deconstruct something down when you first pick it up?
