Aaand done. Hardcore Hailey completed her mission, next up Insanity Ivan. Managed to unlock the assault rifle and sniper rifle achievements too. Pretty annoyed I didn't get the Sentinel and Asari Ally achievements though, considering I brought Kaidan and Liara pretty much everywhere with me. After playing insanity I’ll say me1 it’s not worth it outside getting a achievement if there is one. It feels like you have to use endless bullets to kill any enemy that pops invulnerability. I don’t feel it’s any harder. Just really really tedious. Sledgehammer rounds are your friends though. Insanity on me2, 3, and andromeda is a blast though.

I take great pleasure in choosing Anderson every single time because I always have my Shep say, "Nobody stabs me in the back, Udina. Nobody." Not only does she trust Anderson, but she is also sticking to Udina. I believe if Udina had not locked down the SR1, the council might have. I like Udina. I choose him over Anderson.
I don't choose Anderson because he told the council about Shepard's visions. Did he really expect them to believe that? Then he has to ask Shepard what he should do to unlock the Normandy. I'm surprised he didn't ask Shepard to hold his hand while going to the little boy's room.
I like Zaeed, too. Today I almost recruited Thane, but then decided I like Kirrahe being the one to save Councilor Valern, and with that, there's literally no reason for me to recruit Thane. I did LotSB instead. Good times, good times. I like Zaeed as well
I rarely recruit Thane. When I do, it's so that Kirrahe can give his speech on Earth. How is that possible? Make sure to sabotage the cure with Wrex in charge. This will lead to Wrex being killed. Kirrahe will be seen at the forward operating base giving a speech.

Made a start on the Insanity run. Left the Citadel ASAP to go recruit Liara, managed to take down the Krogan Battlemaster on my 6/7th try at level 12. Then went to Edolus and took down the Thresher Maw for the UNC: Missing Marines assignment. It's definitely a good bit tougher than Hardcore, but not undoable. There's a fair bit of trial and error involved with finding a good strategy and then trying to pull it off in the moment. It does feel bad going back to crappy weapons after just finishing my last playthrough with an unlimited-firing Spectre X assault rifle though.

You could always start a new game with your previous Shepard. You keeps all your skills, weapons, and other equipment and will likely hit max level 60 about halfway through the game (or sooner depending on what level you finished at).

Pretty annoyed I didn't get the Sentinel and Asari Ally achievements though, considering I brought Kaidan and Liara pretty much everywhere with me. IIRC you have to get Liara at the earliest possible time and take her literally everywhere to actually get that achievement. That includes delaying almost all quests available on the first citadel visit until after you have her in your party.

This time I put off all sidequests and went straight for Therum. Making sure to bring Kaidan and Liara with me everywhere. Then I'll have to do another playthrough at some point to get the ones for Wrex and Ashley.

Had to turn the difficulty down to Casual on Ahern's final mission. Didn't bother with it for the Hardcore playthrough, and won't for this playthrough either. Having played more today, I have to say that Insanity can be a bitch. Forget about the Krogan Battlemaster, the merc base on Xawin annihilated me. Must've died at least two dozen times before getting lucky and scraping through by the skin of my teeth. My main issue was the enemies rushing me - even snipers who really should have kept at a distance. The fact that Liara's maxed-out pull/throw often failed to affect multiple enemies, even when they standing right next to each other, didn't help. Now I've saved up every credit and sold every item until I could afford the Spectre VII assault rifle, and even had some spare for the pistol for Kaidan. Got lucky with a good armour drop and Shepard now has max shields, so I'm feeling a bit more confident in taking on Noveria.

It is the only reason I have never beaten Pinnacle Station on Insanity. Going full biotic, or the squadmates at least, and then abusing ragdoll powers/scenery boundaries does the trick. Well. As long as the rules allow pause/power wheel that is....

Just finished the Rogue VI and Noveria. The new gear and extra levels rendered it a complete cakewalk. Had to keep checking the difficulty hadn't reset itself.

Hammer head ammo, then sledgehammer once you level up enough to get it to knock people flat and get comfortable using your elbow of doom. Lower dificulties I use kill people faster ammo, insanity i use the crowd control ammo. The main challenge imo on insanity is the two things that will one shot you if you don't have immunity popped. Snipers and missiles. Yeah they both give context clues so you can avoid them, its very easy to miss them when playing.
These posts have got me to restart the trilogy again. But not on insanity, I'll save that for M2 and on.

Insanity Run complete! Unlocked Sentinel and Asari Ally achievements too. Had a weird bug where Kaidan completely despawned just before reaching the council chambers so I had to fight Saren with just Shep and Liara. Fortunately the former was an immunity-spamming-assault-rifle-wielding badass and the latter was a biotic goddess so it wasn't an issue.

I recently decided to replay ME Trilogy and... I finished it with my canon Sentinel Shep. I avoided most side missions in ME1, as well as some in ME2. Partly because I wanted to focus on main story and not get distraced, and partly because if I were to clear one more compound in ME1, I don't think I'd make it to ME2. I could avoid them without screwing up import since I used my old, 100% completed saves for it. I was picking up the same main-story decisions anyway, so why not. Still can't stand Priority: Thessia. I took Javik with me this time just so he can piss off Liara.

I decided to re-import Jackie Shepard fresh into ME2. She is an Infiltrator. Last time I played her in ME2, I gave her Energy Drain and tried to make her some weird Engineer-lite with a Widow sniper rifle and it did not go as well as I had hoped.
This time I am going to play her straight as a Sniper Infiltrator. She is a pure paragon that romanced Thane previously, so that should be easy to re-create. I think everyone survived the suicide mission with her last time, so that should also be easy. I am not looking to re-import her into ME3 when I finish ME2 with her, but I would like to keep the decisions the same.
I am playing her again as a straight sniper, since someone asked me some time ago if I had any Sniper/Widow Infiltrator videos on my YouTube channel and I did not. So I decided that I would eventually change that and film a sniper Mantis/Widow Infiltrator.
Anyway, I beat Lazarus Station and got to Freedom's Progress. I may have to re-import again to switch bonus powers. I took Warp Ammo for the sniping, but I forgot you do not need that until Horizon, so I may re-import with AP Ammo as a bonus to start. Not that it will matter a whole lot, since I do not think the ammo damage difference between level 1 Warp Ammo and level 1 AP Ammo will make that much of a difference on Insanity at this point. Without the sniper rifle damage upgrades, the Mantis cannot one-shot mechs this early in the game.
* * *
I plan to do three more Mass Effect playthroughs: 1. ME2 Sniper Infiltrator (Mantis/Widow) 2. ME2 Basic Soldier. Have not decided on the bonus weapon since I prefer the basic guns on the Soldier. 3. ME2 Basic Engineer (Overload/Incinerate and Drone)
Every time I think I am done with the series, it sucks me right back in...

Okay, I restarted Jackie Shepard with AP Ammo this time. Still cannot one-shot mechs. Maybe if I threw on the Recon Hood for an extra +5% weapon damage (versus the Kestrel Helmet +3% damage, +5% headshot) I could do it, but I dislike wearing helmets in ME2 since they stay on during conversations and cutscenes. I prefer seeing more of Shepard's face. I can live without one-shotting the mechs, so I will continue to roll with AP Ammo early on.
Not sure when I will next play it. I may buy a new laptop first so I can record to laptop instead of my desktop PC.

Continuing to work with my Lola (non-imported Mass Effect 3 save without the EC installed) to try to work out what it is that makes the Master and Commander achievement pop (since I was in a position where I had to re-acquire all my ME Trilogy achievements upon moving the games onto the Xbox One, where I had a different Xbox profile). At any rate, this first run with Lola did not result in the Master and Commander achievement popping despite having 7,142 EMS when commencing the attack on TIM's base (100% Galactic Readiness). The only 2 decisions I made where I'm not sure I made the choice that would add the maximum I could to the TMS were 1) keeping Kaidan on the Normandy and 2) deciding the war in favor of the Quarians (since one cannot settle for peace using a non-import file). I did every side quest all the other DLC. With a non-import file though, there are several places where the player cannot save everyone (for example, Prangly dies since Jack is not present, Eve cannot be saved, although Mordin can be and the Krogan will still stay as allies). At this point, I'm going to roll the save back to Priority: Rannoch and side with the geth. If the Master and Commander achievement doesn't pop then, I'll have to try rolling back even farther and sending Kaidan off to Hackett. If it doesn't pop then, I'll be convinced that getting that achievement with a non-import file (without the EC installed) is impossible regardless of whether or not one plays multiplayer or uses the Galaxy at War to increase Galactic Readiness... at which point I'll install the EC and try it again.

ME3: decided to use only Miri abilities and weapon training: sentinel only with Warp, OL, Slam (as BP). Use Javik + EDI as my squad. For now did all missions before the cure. Have to say: Ammo+ Slam is more fun, but not lore-friendly, so use Biotic Combo with Javik + Mixed Combo with EDI Plasma -imported lvl 30 character from ME2, but always lower lvl to 1 not to lvl up so quickly. For now conclusion of Miri build: half-fun, but still playable. Need some more lvls up to decide for sure (but her weapon training is annoying, want a SG, but the build...)
Have also in actual PTs: - Jack character only with her abilities and weapon training - finished academy: rather difficult but still want to play. - Ginger - Claymore soldier - finished academy: works great. - Raven - adept with Barrier as BP: à la Knonner Sentinel with all weapons (works rather well and fun, use mostly claymore + SR BW, which later will change to my favorite Javelin) - the downside: have to use only adept-squad for more "reset-throw" combos (which may not happen, the game just ignores that sometimes) that means using Liara which I hate. Later will change her to Alenko + Javik I think. - Judas - ME1 no-cloak style Infiltrator (thanks to captn233 idea) - Chris - ME1/2 Pure Soldier style (for now decide BP) - Jane - "Solder Party" - for now try to get Ash ASAP
ME2: 1 mission before the trap plot mission with 2 Jacks: as bonus weapon will take SG, with another Infiltrator will take AR (before always couldn't resist to take that beast SR Widow).
ME1: engineer with SG as BP, stopped before recruiting Garrus (others have been rectuited - don't know recruit him or not: want at least 1 save w/o Garrus, but he is useful after all and I hate Tali).

Found another build in ME3 only: Adept with SR + Stasis as PB. Use Warp + Throw if Stasis is useless (don't know maybe other used that buil). - reser-throw - faster CD - Stasis + HSh with Javelin.
First tried that in Armax Arena, liked it very much.
Started another character with such build: for now Mantis/BW are not so useful, but stil somehow it's interesting to play (if only in ME 2 in Stasis enemies could take damage...).
Conclusion: even in the beginning (with lvl 1 again) + Mantis for now it is still enjoyable + I know later it will be more intering to play (as tried it in Anmax Arena with Javelin).
The main point was to use weapon more often, combos are just in case.

Found another build in ME3 only: Adept with SR + Stasis as PB. Use Warp + Throw if Stasis is useless (don't know maybe other used that buil). - reser-throw - faster CD - Stasis + HSh with Javelin. You could also do that with a Sentinel. Stasis has an evolution that provides like 30% chance to cause no cooldown when casting. Sentinel also has a passive evolution that provides a 15% chance to cause no cooldown when casting a power. So that can give you a greater than 30% chance to cause no cooldown when casting Stasis, all the while you also have tech armor to provide a little damage protection.

Thanks for the advice.

And there's plenty of solo challenges to sink your teeth into if that's your preference. edit: head to www.prestaciouschallenges.com for the headquarters, our lead post in the TC thread may look a bit confusing at first
