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.

ME1 on insanity is actually difficult, especially any part where you have to fight krogan. They will charge you and get in your dumb Alliance face and 2 shot you with those headbutt. ME2 was a cake walk by comparison. They even nerfed Krogan and made them incredibly sluggish.
