Mass Effect Insanity Explained, May not be Locked in ME2

7
One gripe among hardcore Mass Effect players is that its toughest difficulty was an unlockable - after playing through the game twice. A design lead explains why, and "insanity" may not be locked in ME2.

On the Mass Effect forums, Christina Norman, lead system designer, said that Insanity difficulty was made unlockable, because it was so difficult a player needed the experience of already playing through the game in order to complete it.

1 - Good good.
I'd prefer it to start on insane for the achievement.

Can't wait for this, it's gonna be GOTY 2010 imo.

I just started playing Mass Effect on PC and I love it. I do wish they had left the option to use a controler in though. Oh well getting use to keyboard and mouse again.

1.2 - I thought you could use a 360 controller?
oh well, keyboard and mouse is better suited. Also, the pc version is so much better than the 360 version!

I had to pick up a 360 controler because I'm running Vista 64 bit it is the only one I could make compatible. It works great on Left 4 dead. Keyboard and mouse is good for ME though.

On topic. I don't know if I am good enough to start off any game that says insanity level. Controler or not.

I don't usually mind having to beat a game once to unlock the hardest mode, but twice is ridiculous. ME really pissed me off for being so darn easy. I could beat that game in my sleep. I got bored of it a while into the second playthrough, though. It only seemed to get easier. The story in ME was great, but the combat really lagged because the AI was just so darn stupid. All they did was waddle back and forth and yell "I will destroy you!" over and over again. Hopefully they really will improve the hardest diff. in ME2.

Im glad BioWare is taking some time to really make the AI smarter. Insanity on ME1 was really horrible, it would take FOREVER just to kill a Krogan! Just like in the interview, Insanity in ME1 did not make the enemies smarter, it made them tougher. The bosses would take a million shots just to die.
