It felt much better without the charge because it gave you an advantage over the charged Acolyte in regards of cover leaving and stuff. It takes you a few seconds to charge the Acolyte.
I just like it more without the charge. That´s prolly why I only use weapons without charge and not the GPS, Kishok, Graal and stuff.

Damn that is pretty sad to hear that he died with only 61 years.
That means the RL Zaeed can finally rest in his beach-chair like in the ME3 aftermath !! Rest well Mr. Badass.
BTW: So either he already recorded new VOs for any upcoming content or the citadel quest was the last time we saw him
Saaaaaad

Is Gravath perma banned?? Just saw that he is still banned. LOL
I miss him somehow
Perhaps I should take another look at my Buffy collection, watching episodes with Ethan Rayne.
Dammit he was a damn fine actor, sad to see such an early departure.

kinda feel like some1 should make a sig and avatar and switch their user name to zaed massani for 3 months just pay our respects
someone else might have gotten it wrong.
I'd do it but I just switched to Adam Jensen.
Makes me wonder though . . . who'd win in a fight?

I really didn't mind the star kid. My distaste for the ending was solely about the whole 'it's organics vs synthetics' thing. The whole 'the machines will rebel' thing is so trite and cliche that seeing ME fall back on it for the end of its trilogy made me face palm after how wonderfully they'd handled ai such as the geth and EDI throughout the trilogy. The extended ending made it passable by filling in plot holes but I still don't care for the endings at all because of the very weak premise for the reaper cycle.
So I just started up multiplayer again after like a 4 month break. Its soooo hard to choose between arsenal or reserve packs. >_< Also did vanguards get buffed or were they always so good? I did some golds with a 200% recharge and defensive build and I tore things apart. Female Human Charge + Nova. Charge was up so frequently that I was literally invincible. Only deaths were from banshees etc grabbing me after a charge lol. Solved that by never charging the front.
If played right Vanguards are indeed extremely deadly. I can't remember if they've been buffed recently or not.
Which reminds me of a question I wanted to ask, for those of you that have played Leviathan. I share the same view as Florena about the ending (that the star-kid and the AI vs. organics theme cheapened the series and The Reapers). Without giving out any spoilers, will Leviathan make some sense out of the ending and make it less cliché?
(Considering whether to buy it or not)
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
It wasn't that machines will rebel, it was that organics and synthetics would always try to rule over each other. The only machine that rebelled was the Catalyst, the rest were not rebelling so much as they were unable to peacefully coexist with each other. One side always ignored peace to terminate the other which is why the Leviathans created the Catalyst in the first place. To find a solution that would allow for peace between Synthetics and Organics.
The question you have to ask yourself is did the cycle and solution actually work? Was it the result of countless culling and "forced" evolution that produced the circumstances that allowed Shepard to do what he did? Or was Shepard and his "peace" just a fluke of the cycle? Could anyone have brought about the catalyst or was it something that required Humanity.
If you take the ending at face value then sure it might be weak or cliche. But if you think about the ending, the questions left unresolved, and how the universe got to where it ended it is anything but.
Besides I doubt anything would have been labeled as a strong premise for a billion year old cycle.

I haven't played the ending after Leviathan but I've been told it doesn't change the ending much, just a couple extra lines of dialogue. What it changed is it gives you more insight into the Reapers and their cycles, and how it all began. I felt it was a nice change from just "Organics and synthetics don't get along. ...What? You managed to get the geth and the quarians to get along? Well... that doesn't matter! It's... it's temporary! They'll kill each other again soon, just watch!" But the whole synthetics/organics conflict remains there. Overall I would recommend getting leviathan regardless though just because it's an awesome DLC.
They have always been powerful. The Krogan Vanguard was one of the best choices for a lot of folks because of its near invincible status. (General Vanguard kit combined with the Krogan melee survival traits). Sync kills are really the only downfall of a properly outfitted and played Vanguard. Of course there are now easier weapon and kit combinations (Turian with Stim packs are crazy with the right weapons).

No. The endings, and reasons for the ending, don't change with Leviathan. They only get explained a little. So it shouldn't change if you feel it is cliche or not because those same things that made it cliche are still there.

The Geth and Quarian peace is all in the short term. Nor did the Catalyst or anything else stop there from being short term peace between Organics and Synthetics. The premise was that at some point the trouble would always break out again because of the fundamentally different reasoning processes. In another 100 years of Geth and Quarian peace what is to stop a new spark because a Quarian wanted to reprogram a geth against its will? Or that Krogan wouldn't create an AI that goes out of control?
Eventually some synthetic or organic life form would break the peace.
