Mass Effect

Game » consists of 19 releases. First released on Nov 20, 2007

When humanity is still a newcomer on the futuristic galactic stage, it's up to the charismatic Commander Shepard to investigate the actions of a rogue agent in the first chapter of the Mass Effect trilogy.

Does Shepard have to use the abilities for the achievements?

Been cleaning up some achievements in ME. I feel like I've used all of the biotic powers at least 75 times, but with Liara. Does it need to be Shep?

No. You just have to command them to do the abilities

Hmm...ok. Hopefully they'll pop soon. Thanks!

Oh... crap, I was just letting them to do their own... I guess that doesn't count?

@Trylks: Yeah it doesn't,I've tried but it doesn't count.

I found a guide on wikia saying that Shepard had to perform the abilities. It seems accurate to me as I've used other characters' abilities a lot, maybe more than the abilities I've actually gotten the achievements on, and haven't received the achievements for abilities my Shepard doesn't have.

Looks like I'm going to have to roll an Adept and Engineer to clean up those achievements :\

I made an adept and engineer and used the abilities myself.

I don't know if that's the only way or not, but better safe than sorry.

I did it by rolling engineer/adept and using the abilities on the mako for like half an hour. I think it has to be in an area where you can get in and drive it though, so not on the Normandy.
