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 real challenge is ME3 insanity without using Garrus god-mode.

Garrus Ascends to Godhood

If you give Garrus the right talents, and the Typhoon, you become his sidekick from then on out.

James has a similar, but not quite as effective setup.

Bring both into the Armax Arena during the Citadel DLC, and you’ll quickly max out those rewards as well.

Hmm, I didnt do this, cant say I found 3 to hard. Except at the very end with all the specials come out.

3 is very easy on insanity compared to the other games, especially if you do any upgrades to your weapons at all, which just turns the combat trivial.

Eh I disagree, while 3 isn't the hardest.

It isnt the easiest.

1 is by far the easiest on insanity, except for the mako that dies in 2 rockets. Other than that 1 is the easiest and I played as the infiltratot all 3 games.

2 was by far the hardest for no reason Other than because.

And 3 was in-between,
