Hello.
In order to better roleplay Ryder, I thought that I should learn more and gain a better perspective about the Profiles in ME:A (formerly known as classes in the Trilogy).
One of the ways of doing that is to try and draw parallels between the Profiles and possible equivalents.
1) Adept:
2) Engineer: A military combat engineer. Based on the list of Tech powers, an Engineer in ME:A is someone who is knowledgeable in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics and Pyrotechnics.
3) Explorer:
4) Infiltrator: An army sniper / sharpshooter.
5) Sentinel: An army squad leader.
6) Soldier: Needs no description, Profile name is self-descriptive.
7) Vanguard:
I have not figured out the equivalents of Adept, Explorer and Vanguard. I'm hoping you all can help me out with that and give your own Profile equivalents.
Thanks & Have a nice day. Cheers.

Vanguard: space wizard, but a cool one.

Closest thing I can think of would be like the rogue from DA. Adept and Vanguard are both Biotic classes closest thing I can think of there is mage so basically crowd control specialist really. Not really sure what in reality terms you can really use for that. |

Not quite on topic but didn't want to start a new thread for one question.
Do the profiles tie to a favorite pre-set? Like, will the profile automatically change when you select a favorite, or do you have to swap out your profile manually?
I'd just watch the video again but I'm at work so no audio atm

Adept = Jedi. Vanguard = Jedi who shoots people. Explorer = That guy you know who's good at a lot of sports but he's not as good as people who train at a few sports or just one sport. Not quite on topic but didn't want to start a new thread for one question. Do the profiles tie to a favorite pre-set? Like, will the profile automatically change when you select a favorite, or do you have to swap out your profile manually? I'd just watch the video again but I'm at work so no audio atm Profiles are tied to Favourites. When you switch Favourites, it switches to the Profile assigned to that Favourite set. |

Pretty nice icons, by the way. Kudos to whoever designed them.

I like the idea of the Explorer jack of all trades master of none, now the first thing that I think of when I think of the Explorer is a Bard from DnD because it to is jack of all trades and master of none or close to it

Adept: space wizard. Vanguard: space wizard, but a cool one. Why do so many think of biotics as wizards? Techs are the ones throwing fireballs, chain lightning, and ice spells. |

It's machines that do it for engineers; with biotics magical forces emerge from their bodies. (I know that it's ultimately justified by technobabble, but still.) When I first played ME1, I thought of biotics as an adaptation of Jedi force powers as in KoTOR. |

Here is how I would tend to define the two classes. Soldier- Pure combat squad leader/ action hero/ pure grade A American bad arse special forces. (Or British, or Israeli if that's your thing  ) Engineer: Combat engineer, builds things up, specializes in destroying enemy defenses. Adept: Space Jedi, sort of a specialist that specializes in crowd control, kind of a heavy gunner without the gun. Infiltrator: Sort of in the title, a lot of people view it as a Sniper but it could just as easily work as a Jason Bourne type situation. Or a DA rogue. Vanguard: Name is in the tin, someone who is a front line warrior in the trenches kind of guy. Sentinel: Another front line warrior with the ability to beef up defenses via Armor, etc. Explorer: Captain Kirk? |
