User blog comment:Draen1/How do you use your squadmates?/@comment-4644196-20120514154425

In ME1, I let my squadmates use their powers whenever they wanted, as the powers (in my opinion, atleast) were mostly unrequiered. In ME2, their powers were more usefull, but they lacked the combat edge (but I did see alot of weak enemies get picked off by a plasma shotgun or Widow to the face). In ME3, I found that the squadmates were more balanced between power users and shooters (always fun to watch a guy randomly explode from a Scorpion shot).
