honestly saw no point in leveling in this game as enemies level with you

So there may be scaling for health/armor/shields but even so, its not taking into account your skill boosts, which can be pretty high.

In addition to this: You can't just 'level' in this game. You don't get exp per kill. You get a set amount at the end of each mission/side quest, and leveling is just one reason to do side quests--the others being resources you don't have to mine for, money (which is fucking tight in this game), finding more shit to shoot at, and just plain old story expansion.

perhaps I'm not buying the right stuff in this game, but I'm sitting on over half a million credits and can't think of what to spend them on.

also, while resource gathering and the upgrade lab are massive improvements over the ME1 inventory clusterfuck, I think what ME3 needs to implement is some kind of method of selling and buying resources. Its kind of annoying when I have 40k units of palladium I know I'll never use when All I want is some iridium to make the nuke gun, or element zero to give shepard a loyalty power.

Make sure you check all the shops - you can find schematics for a lot of stuff.

And, you know, model starships and fish.

And a space hampster.

Sorry, watching Escapist reviews (not Yahtzee). The lady on the not-Yahtzee team tends to mention that kind of stuff.

I'm convinced that a Mass Effect field warps that into nothingness, taking the space hamster and sending it to Toril.

only 40k? I bought everything short of the med-bay upgrade and have over 70k and I pass stuff up. That element is WAY too common.

and dont get that nuke-gun, its worthless. You cant even fire it until you find additional ammo on missions, and you need alot of it

He is nowhere near the size of a miniature giant.

Edit: Get the nuke gun for those fucking flying husk crabs that shoot fucking streams of lasers at you all the time and come up and sit on your fucking head no matter where you are and kill everyone.

A single heavy skin weave upgrade runs you 75000 assuming you got the discount.

Weapon upgrades run you about 50000.

Armor pieces run about 2000.

You could spend all of that in a single trip to the Citadel if you bothered shopping. You might have like 50k left over to go buy a single upgrade on Illium or Tuchanka or something.

And money gets quite a bit rarer near the end of the game. You can only get it from Laptops and Safes and such, and eventually you run out of places to find them.

which is ironic since palladium is apparently hilariously rare in the real world.
