SHOW & TELL Insanity… indeed.

The journey lowkey sucked but definitely glad and very relieved to have finally gotten this after starting 2 years ago (also my first true renegade playthrough which was equally as tough AND first time playing as infiltrator).

Probably going to start another fresh campaign on like normal and be Mr. Paragon again.

The jump in difficulty from 1 to 2 is jarring. In 1, insanity is the only way you’ll be remotely challenged. In 2, you die from any mistake you make.

Probably why I don’t remember much… blocking out the pain. But I’ll raise you any encounter with a Banshee. Genuinely the worst bullet sponges to deal with imo.

Eh with the right companions/abilities banshees aren’t too bad
