Okay, I want to say that I LOVE biotics. Squishy sci-fi (telekinesis) by means of somewhat harder sci-fi (gravity manipulation).

What I hate is Bioware's EXECUTION of biotics. N7 graduate Jane Shepard is an ADEPT! She has powerful L3 implants than enable her to generate artificial singularities, knocking foes to their knees or flying into the air! She can do either of these to one foe at a time!

What.

OKAY! RPG! New Game Plus! Level 60 Jane Shepard! She can do six or seven at a time!

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Come ON, PEOPLE! Conatix killed thousands of unborn children with "accidental" eezo exposures and crippled dozens of the survivors to make these guys! There are entire industries based on building biotic amps! THEY. SHOULD. BE. MORE. POWERFUL.

In Mass Effect 3, biotics should be everything the hype sets up.

A fully trained dual-class biotic such as Urdnot Wrex, Jacob Taylor, Miranda Lawson, or Thane Krios should be Cole McGrath from InFAMOUS. He can take out dozens of opponents with a wave of his hand. He can walk through a rain of bullets. He's a human APC. Balancing factor? The eezo nodules in his body mean he fries eezo technologies such as modern weapons, omni-tools and shields when he glows it up. He has to power down his gear when he uses biotics - takes about as much time as switching weapons.

A fully trained biotic specialist such as Benezia, Liara T'Soni, Subject Zero, or Samara should be Alex Mercer from [PROTOTYPE]. She can take out heavy weapons platforms with her bare hands. She can survive an ARTILLERY STRIKE. She's a human TANK. Balancing factor? She fries eezo tech ON CONTACT. No guns. No omni-tools. No shields. PERIOD.

As for Reapertech demigods like Saren or Harbinger!Collector? There's a reason that some classes aren't character classes!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled demolition derby.
