Mass Effect 2's Adept Class In Action

I noticed there were renegade points going up during combat. I wonder if they got rid of that for the final release.  They looked here almost like achievements, popping up when you did certain combat maneuvers.  Maybe people tried to spam that to bulk up their points, although I can see in-combat decisions you make still affecting alignment without it being overwhelming.

I'm so glad I was an adept in ME.  I hope they are even more powerful in this.

"I'm really hoping for the ability to use Kaidan again because Kaidan with these abilities and his tech would be a juggernaut. "

it looks like even if your character is not an adept, you'll definitely want one in your team.

i've played an adept in the first ME and cannot wait for the improvements to the class! so awesome!

" space wizards are fierce "

I loved the Vanguard/Adept in ME1.
 
This looks insane.

Adepts looks pretty good, but I'll wait until I see the other classes in action.

I think i will stick with my Vanguard.

The Vanguard still looks as amazing as ever, think I will just stick with that.  Charge + floating enemy + Shotgun = stupid fun

That class looks really sweet.

 I can understand that, but appearance too?  That baffles me. "

I'm saddened to read so many people played a solider in ME1. Biotics and techs were much more fun and powerful later in the game. I personally played a AI hacking speced Infiltrator and later a Vanguard.

So, does this mean we'll have the option of switching classes at the start of the game?  Will my Vanguard be able to pick the Adapt or something else?  Geez...I wonder if I should go replay the game.   EDIT: I read from other posts that you will have that option.  I can understand that, but appearance too?  That baffles me.

Didn't notice that the first time!  That's awesome. "

The adept class sounded really cool in concept; just sitting back and being able to control the battlefield with a swish of your hand, but even after reading about the new projectile systems I still wasn't entirely sold on the class as I didn't entirely like the feel of some of the biotic powers in the first game. However, this video really shows off the powers of the adept well and I'm now actually considering whether I want to start with an adept in Mass Effect 2 instead of porting my old character over from the original.

Could convince me to finally have an Adept in my team

What? There might actually be a reason to use a class other than the soldier? Madness!

why does it sound like she's saying "adapt", as in "adaptability"  instead of "adept" ? 
 
and don't get me started on canadian accents, i'm canadian and don't speak like that :P 
 
lol

That looks really cool!

the game looks amazing. The physics engine seems amazing.

I'm playing through ME1 as an Infiltrator atm, but this is trailer is making me second guess that choice a lot.
I want to see some footage of possible Tech changes if there are any.

" From the trailer we see in the character menu only 5 biotic powers you can put points in: Warp Heavy Throw Singularity Pull Shockwave  Does not look very "deep" or varied so far. "

Looks like I'll be converting my soldier into a vanguard now.

you played a soldier? my first playthrough was a soldier, but I've gotten hooked on the vanguards/infiltrators after a playthrough with each. An adept with a sniper rifle specialization is ownage too.

I'm using always the "soldier" class in these games but god damn, that was awesome.

I loved my Adept in ME, looks like I'll be loving him even more in ME 2.

Brad you dont really have to worry, they said when you bring whatever class it is over into the second, your class isnt something that sticks, you are free to choose another class entirely while loading that save still.

May the biotics be with you.

The first Mass Effect was one of the only games where I picked a soldier/warrior class over a wizardy spellcaster type of character, but in the second one I think it's safe to say I will be a future mage. HOORAY!

Using the adept powers in ME was deeply satisfying. Yanking enemies out of cover with the singularity and throwing a grenade into the swirling mass of dudes never got old.

" Soldier class was always boring after awhile. I always liked going half and half. So like Vanguard, Infiltrator, and w/e the half biotic half tech class was called. Gives you a nice variety. All biotic or all tech might be cool too though. "

not to be cynical here, but Overpowered much?

god i didn't understand what biotic did in ME1 now im more scared.
looks like im running soldier again

so stoked to be bringing my adept over from ME1!

" I seriously hope you can re-customize your character even if you bring over your save. "

They said in some interview (can't remember the source) that you can switch classes and appearance, and that they also have story justification for that. "

Adept was my first class in ME and I'll definitely be carrying that character over for the second one. So much fun at the higher levels once you've gotten down the trees in a couple of the powers.

From the trailer we see in the character menu only 5 biotic powers you can put points in:
Warp
Heavy Throw
Singularity
Pull
Shockwave

Wow, that looks great. Even more amped for ME2 now.
