When I started a new game, I chose a "quick start" default Ryder because I thought this was the way to pick one of the two default characters. While this does let you bypass the CC and choose either the default male or female Ryder, it actually does more than this. It prevents you from choosing your starting ability and from choosing Shepard's gender The reason this turned out to be important is that I wanted to play as a vanguard. Charge is one of the skills you can choose from the outset if you click on the customize character button, but if you do pick "quick start", you will have to invest a bunch of points before picking charge. You can still go with the default character if you choose to customize. But if you choose quick start, fewer choices are available to you. I don't see any reason for picking quick start now. I have finished with the story content that is available during the trial. When the full game gets released, I think I'm going to start over so that I can charge/nova all the things from the very beginning! |

hehe if ur playing in insanity level avoid most close combat skills. Playing on normal for now. May jump to insanity on an NG+ or after I git gud at MP. Vanguard is just how I like to play single player mass effect games (since ME2 when they implemented charge anyway). Also, I feel like it's a playstyle that works well with not being able to control companion abilities. |

I was planning on doing a custom anyway, but this is good to know for anyone doing the quick start. |

I think quick start is for lazy or impatient people. There was a quick start option in Mass Effect (the first, the one with no numbers); I never used it. I want to take control of every customizable aspect of my character.

hehe if ur playing in insanity level avoid most close combat skills. From what ive seen, and heard of the previews, combat is harder now, even on normal. It might be because this game kinda diffrentiates itself from the basic cover shooting mechanics of the first trilogy, where they expect you to move around more, giving flanking enemies and a jetpack to boost around. Plus all the new skill tres and customization and profiles on top of that, takes a while of getting used to. But a new game, with new mechanics, on level 1 with insanity? These people should expect to be punished. So to anyone who goes for that |

This way I get to finish this slow and steady, and also test out which weapons and skills are more effective on these beefy enemies. Finally, finishing a battle gives you more satisfaction. |
