Casual Mode in Legendary ME2

I normally play the lowest difficulty setting because I have poor hands and have lost most of my fine movement skills. Basically I am more interested in the story than fighting.

But, I have noticed that CASUAL is anything but casual in ME2 and you could throw in ME1. In ME3 it is called something different but it seems to work well.

Casual mode taxes me to my maximum ability, and often above that.

Something is wrong with the settings in this game.

Example, I forget the name of the quest but I am trying to drive a asteroid into mass effect gate to destroy it. I have died a half-dozen times and I am not to the end yet and I have over 150 hours playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

I have done one playthrough of the series and have started my second.

  • The drive an Asteroid mission is a DLC and to me one of the harder missions if done early in game since you are usually playing alone with Shepard.  Late game with full powers and such it isn't as bad but I try and NOT do it early.

    Since you said you are playing Legendary then you would need to mod the game for easier play, if you are on PC.

    I think it would also depend on your class that you are playing, as a power using class such as Adept MAY be easier to use if spec'd right, many area powers and such.  Vanguard would likely be harder since it is a fast paced up close and personal attack class.  I would also think a Soldier with adrenaline would be a good class for you since you get slow time when used.

  • This still irritates me to no end that Casual Mode is so hard in ME2. There are areas in this game I just dread playing.

    I am trying to break out Jack and I get killed over and over again in one area. What is the problem that they cannot make Casual Mode work as easy as it does in ME3.
