Glyp's - Where are they
I am on Eos & have been for hours. I have found 3 Glyp's. Two and the first site and one at the second. I can not find the 4th Glyp and am so frustrated that I am ready to stop playing this game. As ...

As far as combat difficulty goes, I was getting my head kicked in by Remnants in some areas. I lowered the difficulty level from normal to casual, and found my comfort level. Combat is still challenging, but I'm not dying all the time. It's a new game and the control scheme on the PC takes some getting used to so that you can handle it automatically without thinking about what key does what. It's a pretty large learning curve, but I don't feel that the PC interface is "clunky" by any means. The more I play, the more fluid it becomes, so that eventually I will be able to notch up my difficulty level. One of the really great things about MEA is the 5 choices of difficulty, making the game accessable by everyone.
I'm really starting to love MEA the more I play it. You're a Pathfinder, an explorer, in a new universe. It's about exploring, discovery, over coming environmental hazards, deciphering old alien tech and creating a home for the people/aliens of the arks. I love the discovery and learning how to do things, rather than just be told.
I agree totally the premise of the game is sound but why give us weapons that do nothing. I selected normal thinking normal. It isn't normal at all its semi-hardcore. It is so frustrating that I can kill the buggers but not with these weapons emptying 3-4 clips to kill one is insane and of course that is your lot ammo spent. Now you do the rain dance of the naked man. And ultimately die.🤔
@Sludge-Gulper What I've realized is that using your powers, biotics, combat, tech, all these are very, very important in combat. You can't kill a remnant with full shields without taking them down, either having a tech master on your squad or being that yourself.
You can upgrade your weapons, through the research console for example. This should give you a bit of a leverage.
Normal has never been normal in the Mass effect games, which I actually do like a lot. I like challenge and a hard learning curve. It just takes time but you'll figure it out. Start off easy, figure out which powers work for you (overload is always a good pick if you're struggling with shields) and maybe staying in cover isn't the way you like combat. I like getting in the middle of it, I combine Biotics and Tech. Overload, charge and energy drain are my favorites. Get's me up close and personal and a shotgun blast to the face. Energy drain to get shields back up if everything doesn't go as planned and dash away if you get surrounded.
I hope this helps you out a little bit at trying a new way looking at combat.
