Paragon/Renegade those actions don't mean a thing if you don't embrace how you play. I've played in all aspects. The tank, tactician, and now with ME3 on the horizon, a true stealth killer. The "Covert Action" achievement from the Arrival DLC was alright if not too easy to obtain. A blind man could have gotten it. But now with the added guilty pleasure of grabbing an enemy and killing the enemy, reminds me of the days of "Tenchu", "MGS', and "Splinter Cell".

I'm an all around player able to adapt different playstyles to accomplish my missions. But stealth was always my guilty pleasure. That addition truly adds to my "not important enough to waste a bullet on" mentality.

Some of you are tanks, rushing in and inflicting pain while some may be a little more stylish in how you dispatch your enemies. With ME3 inching closer, how does your playstyle reflect you?

my playstyle can't really reflect how I fight in real life simply because gaming systems can't incorporate that type of technique without true virtual reality coming into play. In paintball I tend to be an extreme risk taker and rely on quicker reation times, spur of the moment tactics and the element of suprise to win in extreme CQB. Yet to be able to do that in a video game.

Closest I can come to it in mass effect is playing infiltrator, closing while cloaked and hit full force with melee or smg.

That's quite interesting.

If you mean a favourite playstyle - a niche which you have found yourself most comfortable in after trying many different strategies and class builds, then I imagine yes it can be representative of your personality.

But if playing casually then it could be more the mood you are in at the time that determines how you play.

...I'm not entirely sure on how to combine being a beastly biotic wrecking ball in combat and a generally nice, diplomatic person outside...

Then again, I might just say that I 'Walk softly and carry a big stick.' Besides, it never hurts to try talking first, right?

[Skirata129]

nah it works in real life. be nice and civil till someone finally crosses the line, then do whatever it takes to win.

[marshalleck]

Yes I generally charge in with shotgun blasts to the face irl

[onelifecrisis]

The infiltrator probably suits me. Someone wants to hurt me? Hide and run away!

[Saaziel]

I preferred the Sentinel's game play above all else.

It's power range combined very well with that of others ,it allowed it to maximize the efficiency of squadmates ; Making their uniqueness shine in my opinion. It offered a lot of , group-coordinated , tactical opportunity on the battle field as well , specially so with Tech Armour. I find the Infiltrator fits these points well also , but the Sentinel better.

Generally speaking i do approach most situation from a Mechanical/Cerebral angle , leaving intuition aside. And i prefer to work in a group. Even if a class rewards more instinctive attitudes, like the Vanguard for instance, i usually revert back to my "Break down the problem and organize" ways.

Though after a few coffees i do get more restless ~.^

Always play Assault, thus played soldier in ME, and well... it reflects a lot

[Medhia Nox]

Yes, I play a Paragon Adept - that's how I prefer to proceed through my real life.

Try to use my mind for the betterment of the populace as a whole over the self.

Now - I'd be the first to admit I've failed before - selfishness is not an easy thing to overcome completely even if you're actively trying. Hence - a handful of Renegade options just for good measure.

I think your over thinking what the stealth will be in ME3.

[TexasToast712]

 I can do it all in real life. From taking your face off at 750 yards to blasting your face to pieces with my shotgun. I have a fondness for CQB though. Vanguard with a Mattock FTW! I also roll more to the Renegade side. I pick Paragon on most big decisions but Iam a dick about it. Badass with a heart of gold.

Not stating that the stealth will measure up to the games I listed. I'm saying that stealth is there nonetheless so no I didn't have any predilections in thinking that ME3 was going to delve into stealth that deeply. But having the ability is greatly appreciated.

I like this question because a particular playstyle can span across genres of games.

I would consider myself a "Cerberus Tactician" (Miranda's defensive power) because I tend to play my lot of games from a tactical stance.

This probably started way back in the good old days of Gameboy and what brought its rise - Tetris (which I still play to this day though on other consoles). Many see that as "building and tearing down", but there's science to it. Before they had the "Ghost Piece", you really had to think about what you were going to do. Of course, I play with the ghost piece, but I don't see that as a help or unnessary harm nor do I care.

Considering the genres I have: Sports, Action, Fighting, Adventure, RPG, TPS, I play many of these, I play tactfully.

Of course, there is the argument that such a playstyle is boring (ie: ME2 Hide, Shoot, Hide Again; however, this seems to be the design for 99% of shooters out there. I doubt ME3 will be all run and gun either).

So, yes, it is possible to have a particular style work for every game.

Time based sports game - Eat the clock if you score first or leading late in the game.
Shooters: Shoot and cover and run-n-gun if you're risky; be aware of your surrounding (includes enemies)
Fighting games: Memorize patterns, but mix yours up

For me, mploring tactics leads to less "Oh, sh--!" moments.

I, too, think it does reflect the type of person you are as the Tactician often thinks things through, planning ahead, considering all possible variables. Does this person overthink at times, yes. He or she might adhere to this philosophy: "Better safe than sorry!"

To deep? Well, as I said, Tacticians are methodical by nature. Gaming and otherwise!

I'm a Vanguard at heart. Biotic charge solves everything. It just suits me.

[JadeEffect]

I used to play baseball, at one point, I was a team manager (not coach) for my junior colleges softball team. Playing, I was an aggressive baserunner, I got a few steals here and there. So when I play Vanguard, and charging in, is like me tryng to steal a base. My slide into the base is like a shot blast to the face.

As for my main playthrough as a soldier, no I don't reflect it at all.

Pretty much this.

In ME2, when I play a Sentinel, I'm crazy aggressive.  Throw lots of lead, spam warp and overload everywhere.

I'm also a blackbelt in karate.  My fighting style on the mat is totally the opposite of what I do with a Sentinel.  I'm very defensively oriented and I tend to not attack aggressively.  I defend and parry until the opponent makes a mistake, then I make him pay for it.  This works for me as I'm a pretty big guy and can take hits that would hurt other people without it really affecting me much.

The firearms I use in mass effect, though, do tend to match the ones I enjoy shooting the most in real life.  Mattock, Widow, and Carnifex are my favorite firearms in the game.  In reality, I enjoy accurate semi autos, a quality, accurate bolt action, and powerful handguns such as the Colt 1911.

Cool beans you're in karate, I did isshinryu for 10 years.

I find that I like the Adept and Infiltrator the best. I don't like being the main focus/center of attention, and both these classes allow you to play...what's the word? Conservatively? Defensively? The Engineer can be played similarly.

However, as much as I've played Mass Effect 1 and 2, I've never touched the Vanguard. I really don't know why, since I like shotguns and biotics. I guess the aggressive playstyle just doesn't appeal to me.

[RPGamer13]

I tried to play ME2 entirely without using cover... I found it impossible even on Casual.

I enjoy just rushing in and slaughtering everything as fast as I can.

That matches my personality really closely. I also in dialogue choose the Evil, or in this case Renegade, options because I would do the same thing in those situations.

That's why I play Vanguard in Mass Effect, Berserker in Too Human... I'll most likely choose Berserker in Diablo III as well.

[Siansonea]

I'm a headshot sniper, and I tend to be rather precise in most things I do. Hails of bullets is not my style.
