Re: mass effect
The closest thing I can compare the combat to is Kingdom Hearts, very much a hybrid action/RPG.
You can literally "pause" the action and select targets to apply "spells" to. You can also pause action to switch weapons. Its not like Baldurs Gate, because that was more action, and its not turned based at all like a regular RPG.
The system takes some adjusting, but man, its pretty damn sweet once you get it down.
Thug, I picked the Infiltrator class. I am enjoying it quite a bit. You have a lot of tech skills so decryption is easier. You also have decent combat skills. I would like to be able to train with the assualt rifle, but the pistol and sniper rifle work well. I also really like being able to use Damping, Sabotage, and Overlord against opponents.
I am seriously leaning torwards using something with Biotic powers next time through simply because throwing and lifting people is [censored] awesome and funny.
Soldier strikers me as very straightforward, but I haven't tried it.
