Tons of people saying "umm warp is the only useful bio power blah blah" This isn't an MMO and not everybody plays on the hardest difficulty. Have you tried having fun lately? Mixing up all the bio powers is extremely fun and it really makes the games combat stand out compared to every other 3rd person shooter out there. Sure once the shields are down you could probably just kill things just as fast by shooting. You can also use the excuse that your team has these skills as well but if you take some time to notice they don't work exactly the same. For example I'm pretty sure you can't curve the bio powers with your squad.
Too bad Warp is still the only useful ability.
"Fun" or not, Biotic powers fucking suck, and I say that as someone that played a pure Biotic class non-cross-class in ME1. Biotic skills suck, there's no reason to use any skill other than a cross-classed Warp for shield damage and then finishing someone off with a better than the class-restricted gun.
Shame I can't use Warp all the time, it would make the combat less boring than "go into cover, pop out, pop shields, do some damage pop back into cover to avoid death" ho-hum-ness that is pretty much all third person shooters (well, minus the shield bit) now a days.
I play ME for the character interaction, anyway. Too bad Bioware can't have a gay (AKA: NOT LESBIAN) romance option to save their life or make those character interactions matter (sup, Wrex
?).
Of course, after playing KotOR anything after that from Bioware has been pretty disappointing on the fun front for me. Maybe because of them dropping D20. *shrug*
