 Hey everyone, after finishing ME 2, I've started playing ME1 and found that the bypass games a bit difficult (maybe I'm not familiar with that and the way of control is not quite suitable for keyboards), should I convert all unused equipments into omni gels or the bypass games will be easier as the game goes on so I'd better sell those unwanted?

thanks very much for your help:wizard:

[JLBoyyy]

I think you should try to get used to the bypass game. I didnt get it at first, but it became a breeze after. and if you really want to, you can have your low-level equipment omnigeled if you have to. also note that getting the weapons or whatever you are trying to get inside might not always be worth it.



good luck and i hope you enjoy mass effect 1 even though you played the second one first

[ME_DIC]

thx for your advice!



ME 1 is a good game too for its substantial rpg elements!

[nocturne98]

Early on, I recommend converting items to omni-gel rather than selling them. You receive almost nothing for selling low level items, whereas every item is worth four omni-gel. Once you start getting items that are level IV and above, then start selling them.

 I wish that Omni Gel stuff existed in real life *hopes it'd be a alternative to Prep-H*. And that it had anti-itching properties.

man, only if they had more of a broader selection of things to buy in the game (would totally make the money more fun). in-store merchants selling mini-games, extra bonus OST, newer clothes, entertainment vids (like GTA4 Tv viewing), furniture for your quarters/customizable colors+theme, etc.

thx very much!



anyway, now I am trying to get used in mako-driving of which I find a bit challenging, especially when encountering thresher maw (I found Hammerhead in ME 2 more easier to control)

[Sailears]

Yeah, just omnigel low level surplus.
Apart from grenade/medigel upgrades, licenses, and the occasional rare armour/weapon/amp/omni tool, there's not much reason to buy stuff. Get it all through poking around in crates.
And yes it's a good idea to get used to the minigame - at the least easy/average ones.

[jakenou]

Once you get used to the decryption mini game it'll get way easy. You may still duff it now and then, so you can use your omnigel then or load a save from right before. Early in the game, I will usually hold on to omni gel to repair the Mako mostly, although a save/reload can also take care of that. By the end of the game you'll have more loot, money and omnigel than you can handle

[mcsupersport]

But you will want the credits to get access to the good stuff. IIRC it takes 1 million credits to access Specter gear, but you only need to get it once in the game, otherwise once gotten, next character will not need to do it again, achievement access.



Also as a note, things give less XP when they are killed in the Mako. Early in the game you may not be able to stand up to the big badguys, but later you will be able to go toe to toe with anyone and will lose out on alot of XP if you stay in the Mako. Also considering how you can progress, later in the game, the point is easily made that you are tougher out of the Mako than you are in it.

[ME_DIC]

thx all!



I just rescued liara out of the mine and i begin to love killing geths using mako(its canon can perform one-shoot-one-kill);P

[Fl1pmode]

I had about 11 million credits at the end of the game and that is with mass omni-gelling everything.

[Aggie Punbot]

11 million? I was under the impression that the cap for money was 9,999,999.

[ME_DIC]

hey every one i got another problem: as an engineer, my Shepard only possesses pistol training, is it unwise to use assault rifle? because i found killing with pistol is somewhat frustrating.

[mcsupersport]

With a good pistol and fully upgraded training, pistol will actually do better DPS than Assault rifle. You have to use the pistol upgrade power and keep it activated all the time, but pistols can output great damage. You will have better luck in general with Engineer by sticking to the pistol unless you happen to have bonus skill of AR.



Generally speaking, Engineers are the weakest of all the classes in the game. They have some advantages, but are generally considered underpowered at higher levels.

[jakenou]

Yeah, as an Engineer with no option for a weapon bonus talent (which you would receive by getting the weapon kill achievements in previous games) you are limited to pistol. Put points into it the pistol - you'll see how useful it is with marksman ability. You have no other weapons because you are a tech specialist, so you'll use those skills strategically to get through the game in combo with your pistol. You can use other weapons, but since you're untrained with them, they'll be much more difficult to use and less effective than your pistol. You can always send your squad in to do the heavy work, but you'll gain less XP that way.

And make sure to work for all the tech-engineer achievements while you're an Engineer!

Hmm you are right. I checked and I am at 9,999,999. I was under impression I gained at least a couple of millions more after selling a bunch of stuff from Virmire :happy:

[Aggie Punbot]

I notice that the game will sometimes still say you gain money even after you're maxed out.

That would have to be Bio-gel. Omni-gel would end up turning to a light crematic. *Shudders at the though of what would occur if someone used omni-gel instead of Bio-gel. **

When I encounter the Matriarch on Noveria, I have died several times (during the first wave of asari commando who always rush upon me and shoot) and in ME 2, despite not being an engineer, I was never defeated by a boss so many times:(

The only thing that might help in this fight is to get your butt up the stairs to the right, so the Rachni tank is between you and the Matriarch.  If you let her have a clear shot at you, she will toast you, but you don't have to directly fight her so much as just defeat her minions.  Good luck, and for a easier play, try Soldier, Infiltrator, Adept, Vanguard, or Sentienel, with Soldier, and Adept being easiest(once learned) and Infiltrator, Sentienel, Vanguard, Engineer following in my perceieved order.

If you like tech talents, then Infitrator is the way you want to go, or maybe Sentienel(but they have toooooo many talents needing points).

Good luck.

Thx! since i want to experience more tech powers in ME series( in my ME 2 playthroughs I love using biotics) so I choose engineer in ME1 which I had believed fire and freeze and combat drone available:D.(later I saw quite a number of people not recommending an engineer-first-playthrough)

Anyway, Matriarch was finally defeated as I pushed Ashley and Wrex forward and used sabotage and AI hacking on foes.:happy:

[MightyFoot]

w00t!
Love the engineer! I got mine with a shotgun thanks to my first playthrough with Vanguard. Neither my pistol or shotgun are fully trained but when u learn how to use your abilities well theres no match! Have some biotic with u inn the squad and u'll be able to wreack havoc on every mission.
Ever wondered how Tali keeps up and is quite often the last man standing with the low level shields that she has? Engineers can actually have the best shields when boosted/trained.
Furthermore Noveria, Feros & Vermire are crawing with Geth that are food to be Hacked (good when more enemys on the field, let em sort it out themselves and just pop in for the kill for more XP), Overloaded and Sabotaged. When encountering a collosus in the Mako u can shoot him with the canon for little XP or for bigger rewards run him over to buy some time to get out, Sabotage, Overload and u can club it to death for an almost 2000 XP.. Biotic adversaries get Dampened, Sabotaged & Overloaded and pulverise 'em. Engi ftw!

Out of curiosity... is there actually anything in the game worth buying aside from the spectre gear? Money's unfortunately only a momentary problem, and most gear can be obtained by just random loot, and once you get that first million, the other millions start rolling in... even spending the 220,000 for random loot from the convoy to get my spetre x gear, I still end a playthrough with 999,999,999 and 999 omni-gel.

[kglaser]

It is true that you can easily end up ludicrously wealthy by the end of ME1. Convert to Omni-Gel if you're more than halfway done, I say.

Armor, since there is no Specter armor. The biggest one is trying to find decent Quarian armor, since most merchants who sell [non-human] armor only sell Turian and Krogan. If you can get some legit Collosus for Tali, you're set.

I've never done a playthrough that wasn't a "speed run", and don't think I've ever had a character higher than 49. Missing a couple of achievements!
