I think the Vanguard stays true to its previous role. Charge + Nova is a high risk high reward tactic. You can take down a lot of foes quickly by charging in, hitting them with nova, and finishing what's left off with your shotgun, but if you miss a few, face a tougher enemy, or a turret you'll probably find yourself in the middle of its field of fire and end up dead. Especially on higher difficulty levels I think playing as a Vanguard will be a real challenge.Lone_Warrior_66

In the end, it's best to get out there and use your abilities to, well, the best of your ability. :P But always make sure that you are not too far out in the open, that there's always a safe piece of cover to retreat to nearby and that none of the enemies (which aren't in front of your field of view) are trying to use any side routes to flank you. However: if you choose the Vanguard and want to utilize all of that cIass' potential, be prepared to die... many times. This is because sometimes it's just impossible to flee once you're too far into the battlefield. Also, since not everyone you get teamed up with is actually a team player, gather as much medi-gel as you can and don't waste it. If you see a team member close by after getting wounded, even if they're getting their ass kicked, give them a chance. If there's not enough time left for them to revive you or a Cerberus trooper is just about to stomp on your face, use the medicine and keep killing.

As for the weapons that best suit the Vanguard; well, a shotgun (as described by Lone Warrior) is great for his deadly combo. I was using the assault rifle the most often, but after unlocking a very powerful sniper rifle I switched. Now I'm actually doing a lot better than I used to. If you'd rather not get close to enemies too often, a strong sniper rifle and Phalanx pistol weapon combo is perfect. A well-aimed shot from the rifle I unlocked (sorry but I can't remember its name) can kill most enemies from any distance. A "Nemesis" will go down after a headshot. If a lesser enemy is dangerously close, switch to the pistol and dispose of them in a few clean shots to the upper half of the body.

Yes, Mordin unfortunately does have a different voice. :cry: But he's not bad either, so at least they picked someone good (though not as good) to replace the previous voice actor. As for the FemShep character creation... probably the worst thing about the demo. I think it's pretty much impossible to create a decent-looking female character in ME3. :(

In addition, the animations look a bit awkward on FemShep since they are the same as those used for male Shepard. Yeah, she should look quite tough when walking since she's been in the military - but it just looks too weird now. Maybe picking something not as overly-sexualized as the female character animations of Dragon Age 2, but slightly more feminine than the animations used in the Mass Effect 3 demo (keeping the toughness and dropping the ugliness) would have been a much better choice.

After all, Shepard is a tough & independent woman; a great icon for equality and an example of progress in gaming (seeing as how most developers are so sexist that they have a male lead with females as only weak love interests in their cliché games), but why shouldn't she be attractive? :x

What did you think of the newest demo for Mass Effect 3? I personally thought it was really good, but not quite as epic as I had hoped it would be before getting my hands on it. The gameplay itself has been refined and it actually plays much better; the sound and voice acting is also amazing. Graphics are quite impressive, but the amount of low resolution textures is quite shocking. As for the music - it's alright, but nowhere near as great as that of Mass Effect 2 and very disappointing.

My biggest gripe with the demo has got to be the lack of choices. I mean, sure, BioWare gave us cut-out pieces of gameplay whilst missing out all the important parts to avoid - that's good (because it avoids spoilers for the time until the full game is out) - but I was expecting much more choices to be made in the conversations, even if there were only a few.

Anyway, overall I must say that the demo was very good but also quite disappointing in some aspects. Despite of my high expectations, I'm still really excited for Mass Effect 3; I've copied my Shepard's identity code so I'll get the same look in the full game as I created in the demo. :)

What did you think of the whole thing?

Since this is the union's official topic for discussing various downloadable content for the Mass Effect series, I thought it would be the best place to post this. After finishing "Lair of the Shadow Broker" for ME2, I wrote a review of it. If anyone is interested in reading it - here is the link: http://uk.gamespot.com/mass-effect-2-lair-of-the-shadow-broker/user-reviews/787626/platform/pc/

Please give me a thumbs up, and do come back to tell me what you thought of it. :)
