You could substitute Vanguard for Renegade Shep. 😅
Trying to bribe me over Thorian creeper experiment? Ka-blam!
Warlock casting Vampiric Touch:
I never got the vanguard play style personally as I always would get killed before I could kill all of them, found the combat too janky on ME original trilogy. Andromeda was better cos of jetpacks and being able to zip about a bit easier.
Probably just needed to invest more time in it!
It's all about combat rhythm (and upgrading charge to fully refill your shields on contact.)
ME1 Vanguard is exactly how you'd expect the combat biotic crossover to go, plenty of supporting biotics to mix in with weapons gameplay. In 2 they introduced the charge and the gameplay loop completely changed into a super powered pinball, and in 3 furthered the concept by stripping it down to pure biotic superhero gameplay with the weight/cooldown and nova.
No other class changes so much throughout the trilogy in terms of how you play it.
All this being said, I believe in power duo Sentinel supremacy so I like Femshep/Kaiden as a combo lol
