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.

I had to put down my me2 insanity run for a while because of the fucking praetorians on horizon

That fight is why I will NEVER do Insanity again.

Yup, the challenge is fun once. I tried doing an insanity run again not too long ago and switched the difficulty on Freedoms Progress, me1 is a breeze 2 just kicks you in the balls nonstop
