That the shotgun+shield one?

Yep. The sniper build wasn't nearly as fun in ME2 and 3 as it was in 1, what with the very game-y level design of the newer games, so getting to say "you can't hurt me now, and now I'm immediately right in your face, and now I'm shooting you in the face with my shotgun" just felt nicer in general.

Been a while. Didn't realky do sniper builds. Assault rifle. Vanguard, Biotic and one of the tech ones were my go to.

One thing I did appreciate in Mass Effect Andromeda was the broader engagement ranges resulting from the more open-world design, making sniping viable with both weapons and powers.

Any video game modders here? If so, what games? And what are some of your mods?
I wrote a couple of popular mods for Skyrim, the most successful of which was "Hunterborn - Scrimshaw Expanded," which lets your character have more of a wilderness aesthetic. I also took over the "Hunters Cabin of Riverwood" mod from Oskiir. But I can't handle the Skyrim modding community anymore, the folks there are too entitled and hostile for my tastes. Every day, someone will load 200+ mods into their game, act surprised when it crashes, then spam my inbox with bug reports and leave passive-aggressive comments until I troubleshoot their load order for them. Ain't nobody got time for that. It's better for my blood pressure if I just let people think I've abandoned my Skyrim mods altogether.
Nowadays, I write mods for Stardew Valley...well, not really. I take older mods that are no longer compatible with the 1.6 version, and bring them up-to-date (and only share them after getting permission from the original author.) I think my most successful SDV mod on the Nexus was my Tree Shaker mod. The folks on the SDV modding forums are some of the kindest and most considerate nerds you'll ever meet...especially compared to the Skyrim lot.

skyrim and fallout 4 for sure, way way way back i tweaked an armor mod (changed the armor value) that i downloaded and then last year I did my own radio station in fallout 4 for my own use. I also did a lipstick color for Starfield. I didn't release any of my own work lol.
