There's a trope for this somewhere.

Ah, here it is.

No, I think this one describes it better.

Not unless you were invoking it yourself.

[Lemonwizard]

I'm trying to remember if there's a trope page for player imposed difficulty. I think there is.

[Omicrone]

It's called challenge gamer.

Boring, idiotic and above all impossible to accomplish. No directing your squadmates means they die, ergo all the focussed fire is going to be on you ergo you're dead. You're talking about how difficult the likes of Praetorians and YMIR mechs would be but I'd like to see you get passed a single krogan or geth hunter. Then again, since there's an YMIR mech waiting for you on Freedom's Progress you're probably not even going to get anywhere near said krogan or geth hunter.

Who needs squadmates?

[stdepriest]

I propose you try the all melee challenge on easy. Even then it might not succeed.

[ryoldschool]

Try the collector ship trap. You won't get past the first platform.

By melee? Difficult. No powers? Even more difficult. Impossible? Maybe.

Oh I'm sorry were you trying to make a point here or is this just your way of illustrating that you haven't a clue what's going on? We're talking melee-only-no-powers here. I was pointing out that this style of play simply won't work and without the effective use of your squad it would, to phrase it eloquently, work even less.

[Pacifien]

I'm not going to say it's impossible. Extremely tedious maybe as you spend twenty minutes of your life taking out a YMIR mech by melee, but theoretically possible.

[PurplePox]

I AM going to try this, but I'll start out on a lower difficulty. Maybe casual, until I get my bearings and work from there

I had debated whether or not to add to my comprehensive list an Infiltrator Guide I found which was geared toward melee only, but I guess I should reconsider the decision not to add it. Wouldn't be very comprehensive if I didn't. Have to find it again, though.

I believe that was my guide. The video got deleted unfortunately but I did showcase most of Mordin's recruitment and I never used anything but punches and incinerate.

Melee only is very doable, and I have tried it quite a few times actually. Except I also used heavy weapons and powers. If I had the PC version I would make some melee only videos

[jaff00]

Yeah, melee-only is indeed very do-able if you also use heavy weapons and powers except, wait, wait-wait. Melee-ONLY.. Heavy weapons and powers.. Lemme just do the math here.

[RGFrog]

It's a challenge. Nothing specifies that you will succeed. Only that you record it. This could be really fun and result in some funny vids.
Definitely would take a lot of duck and cover while you waited to ambush targets in relative safety. I have to wonder at how far you'd get against husks on the iff mission or the abandoned mine.
I'm going to give this a try in another run through. First have to do a kill-all-squadmates run through, though.

Unfortunately, I have the console version, and getting it to record videos is a bit more work than I want to put into it. But last night, I did try to take out the YMIR mech on Freedom's Progess with my Adept doing melee. The results were a hilarious series of fails which would have made a nice compilation.

Did note that Lemonwizard didn't specify you had to do the whole game with melee, so perhaps I need to work on Soldier or Vanguard build, get the strongest armor combination I can manage and the Strength Boost Pads, all the upgrades, then melee the crap out of a Colossus or Geth Prime or something.

[RGFrog]

Did you try staying behind the ymir and melee it's back side? I've done that with guns a couple of times, but never tried with the kill elbow.

[Pacifien]

As a matter of fact, I did try to dance around the back side of the mech, but my dance skills and coordination needed a little work. And trying to do the rogue attack was a bit difficult, had to use my squadmates as bullet fodder to achieve it.

When I get my hard drive replaced it's my intention to finally purchase fraps, and I will see about posting my escapades.





Of course, my hard drive was supposed to arrive in the mail on friday and that didn't happen....
