For the past few months, I have been planning to do a playthrough of the Mass Effect Trilogy where I make the dumbest decisions possible. I have decided to share this experience with you all.

This liveblog will chronicle the adventure of Lieutenant Commander Failure Shepard, better known as FailShep. Young Failure was born on the Human colony of Midnoir, where he lived until it was attacked by evil batarian pirates, who killed everyone he ever knew. FailShep was only sixteen at the time.

Shortly after, FailShep enlisted in the Alliance Military, where his squad was killed by Thresher Maws. FailShep's escape of the Maws made him a legend among the Alliance.

tldr; Failure Shepard is male, a Colonist and a Sole Survivor. Because this playthrough is going to be somewhat minimalist in nature, I'm playing as a Soldier and on the lowest difficulty settings.

there's a glitch in ME 2 which occasionally prevents Shepard from moving if s/he Biotic Charges a Husk.

Why would you charge a Husk? The best thing to deal with them is that shockwave power; it one-shots them in a line. Save the charge for dangerous things.

Charging restores shields, which comes in handy since Husks are usually accompanied by more dangerous enemies. I also usually don't put many points in Shockwave since I find its usefulness to be too situational.
