new perspective on ME original (after the sequels and reboot)

I think the medicine talent tree gives you nerve shock, which neutralize them till their power runs out. Otherwise I find biotic power like lift and throw can do similar things, and lastly but most importantly, Singularity, which probably breaks the game on any difficulty. So at least when I play, I don't feel much of a grind, since either me or the enemy usually die not long into first contact.

AThe biotic stun locking is actually something I really miss, because it one of those things that spice up combat. That's one of the example of how poor balance can be fun, it introduces an element of unpredictability
