What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong?

My weapons do absolute shit damage and it seems like my health bar only has 2 states: full and nearly dead.

I'm adept if that makes a difference.

You have shields which recharge so just wait for them to go up again. The AI in the game is extremely fucking stupid and rarely engages you if you're at a good distance. Don't be afraid to use your cooldowns.

>adept
Everything should be flying around you, why are you even taking damage?

Combat is pure tedium early on, it becomes mindlessly easy when you unlock more abilities and get weapons/armor that have BIG numbers

Adept is a wrecking ball late game. Just keep going.

Yeah, that's normal. The combat is shit in the game.

>not picking infiltrator
>disabling shields and one shotting everything all day every day with sniper rifle headshots

I picked infiltrator on my first playthrough, replayed the game recently as a Vanguard and it's a lot more fun but maybe a bit too easy.

There are no headshots in ME1.

>not picking soldier
>not having 3 people with max level snipers and explosive bullets
>not being the three musketeers

Seriously? The game is easy as fuck, even on the hardest difficulty.

You get retardedly powerful mid-late game just keep going mang

Chances are you're fighting sentient alien races/humans. Unless on the ctadel those will push in your shit hard in the beginning. Stick to the side quest planets were you fight geth/husks in the beginning.

Also you're basically playing the mge class. Those almost always start out weak but become facerollers in the middle to endgame.

The only difficulty I had with Adept on hardest difficulty was in front of the bar on Citadel and during reciving Wrex Armor quest.

That actually sounds fun

>adept

thats what you doing wrong. say behind everyone else and throw bioshit at you enemies.

>not going in with shotguns and blast their face

IMMUNITY BITCH!

as with any rpg - dont go all round and specialize in something. i played trilogy as a sime soldier and used assault rifles. worked for me on hardest.

You better be doing pure renegade

use more companions abilities senpai

Nah mate I want to play with superpowers not some 3rd person cod
