I can't seem to get past the UNC Hostage mission on freighter in the Farinata System of the Hades Gamma cluster. I've died multiple times and each time, it's been almost instantaneous. I suppose I'm just not a high enough level yet, but I'd like some suggestions. thanks.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        I kept trying to talk him out of it but I couldn't.

              It was probably low then but when I go through it again I'll be able to talk him out of it.

                  Has anyone experienced a significant difference in difficulty in the game between the lower and higher levels of your characters? At first I was having quite a difficult time in battle but then once I got to a certain level (around 20) the game became incredibly easy and I only died once or twice the rest of the game. Very strange balancing of the game difficulty.

                    Experienced the same thing, attributed it to learning how to play more efficiently though.. Still, I'm upping the difficulty each play through.

                      Take the Engineer with you. I think Wrex or Ashley is good enough for firepower. I prefer Wrex, because he has Warp and Barrier. I don't trust the AI with sniper rifles, so my team uses shotguns and assault rifles anyway. No need for every weapon to be mastered. With the Engineer, you get the very valuable damping skill. That'll shut down at least one Biotic, which give you more time to buck some shot. Also, if anyone else in your party has throw or lift, those along with damping will keep the biotics disabled long enough for your muscle to finish them off, especially if you're manually applying Marksman, Carnage and/or Assassination. Not really enough room for Assassination, unfortunately. That's my personal favorite ability, with Singularity as a close second.

                        I've already finished the game, I was just talking about how I beat those guys.

                          I just like to think of it like this. An elite spectre should definitely be able to handle pirates and mercs easily. At least that's what I'm thinking. I'm going to go play more now...

                              I finished the game last night and it's definitely GOTY for me, hands down. What an amazing story and presentation to this game. My final playing time was 27.5 hours and I was level 40 Vanguard. I was about 85% Paragon and about 30% Renegade.

                              I'm going to play through as a male character now and go mostly Renegade. I'm going to try and do all the side missions now. I was doing a lot at first but the main story got so good 2/3 of thw way into it, I didn't want to stop progressing it, so I stuck with it the last 6 -7 hours or so and aborted side missions. Now that I know what does down, I can take my time on a 2nd playing. I can't wait to get home and create my 2nd character! I've never wanted to start up a game again so soon after finishing it.
