Why doesn't anyone seem to know my Shepard is biotic?

I'm putting this in the spoiler section, just in case. 

This really bugs me as I am playing a vangard, but in both ME1 and ME2 biotics are explained to me as if my Shepard had just gotten off the boat.  Admittedly, it's not nearly as bad in ME2 as it is in ME1. I do really love this game, but still, it bugs.

Yeah, I think the game presumes Shepard is a soldier. Kind of annoying.

Oh, you mean like how my infiltrator is carrying an assault rifle in every single cutscene? Along with every single one of my crew? Yeah, those kind of inconsistincies are very annoying.

it is a bit annoying having no one else acknowledge shepard being a biotic, especially since half the classes available are biotic. The "canon" shepard seems to be a soldier though (always depicted wielding an AR)

Considering how many biotics Shepard has killed, you would think even soldier Shep wouldn't need an explanation. "Biotics- well, it's something people do to annoy you until you shoot them".

Kaidin is the only one who ever notices.



But I was a little angry during the finale that Shepard couldn't be used for the Biotic barrier. (Though I suppose as mission commander, it makes sense that you'd want him directing the mission, and not straining and focused on keeping the Collector swarm out.)



It's always annoying to show Shepard threaten people with a gun, too.

It'd be nice to have things like:

Samara: You'll need to confront Samara unarmed.

Shepard: Though unarmed, with my biotics I'm hardly defenseless.



Or have him shoot a biotic bolt during a cut scene. (Always annoyed me on Virmire to have Shepard shoot at Saren with his pistol...why don't you just tear him apart with YOUR MIND?)

I totally agree with this thread. I think they should have made more class-specific dialogue and scenes.

I found that mildly amusing because it's the ONE weapon my Shepard can't use (barring Legion and Grunt's speciality weapons)

Yes this is a good idea.

Also whats it with ME 2 and the last couple of RE games?  What its easy for the game to show the character proper in a cutscene, but heaven forbid you show one of the weapons they actually have on them correctly. <_<

Jacob: I'm a Biotic, so let me know when you want me to hit them with the good stuff.

Shepard: *blowing away a pair with Shockwave* Um yeah. Go um, Pull something.

Oh, poor Jacob. Ever since I maxed out Shockwave and stole his Barrier, I haven't taken him with me on any missions.

I was a little surprised my Shepard's biotics didn't come up in the Samara loyalty quest convo (playing a Vanguard). Granted, I'd probably be no match for an Asari serial killer, but that's why I'd also punch her at the first opportunity. Don't give me that face. I can one-shot charging varren with my punches. Totally a viable combat plan.

But yes, it'd be nice to have at least a few cutscenes acknowledge Shepard's class. This should go on the ME3 wishlist if it isn't already. :)

SHEPARD: Quick Jacob, throw that krogan off the cliff behind him!
JACOB: Commander, you know I can only move things toward me.
SHEPARD: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting.  Because it doesn't make any f***ing sense.

I've never found a use for Jacob that someone else doesn't do better. Too bad too, could be an interesting character.

i always found it funny to have a biotic shep in ME 1 right at hte beginning "Kaiden has a hard time being an L2" "what's an L2?"



Wow, Shepard. Way to research your condition!

As for the OP, yeah, this is one of my pet peeves with this series. My main FemShep is an Adept and it's brutal being constantly taken out of your immersion.



For crying out loud, they can have your custom character and custom armor in cutscenes, but not the gun you previously had equipped? No one notices your biotics?



Wishlist it for ME3.



...stupid default jerk soldier dude...

It annoyed me when I activated Grunt and he slammed me against the wall, and Shepard's retaliation is holding a gun to Grunt's stomach.



When in reality my Shepard would've blasted him against the wall with a biotic wave.

They really could have done a better job personalizing Shepard with having a Origin type story and or extra convos depending on your class. Would have been nice.

I never understood that. Its even funnier in ME2, since in ME1 you actually were forced to carry all weapons. I love those cutscenes in ME2 where my Vanguard magically conjures up an assault rifle (that he doesnt carry) for dramatic posing.

I also loved in ME1 how Ashley would managed to carry a spare suit of that awful Phoenix armor that she'd slip into just for cutscenes. I thought they might have fixed that in ME2. Instead, Kaidan starts wearing her suit. Go figure.

Shepard does have an origin story, it just gets swept under the rug in ME2.

I had the same issue with that. But I never had Kaiden notice my character was biotic.
