    It's one of the combo talents. You know when you combine 2 skills they might cause another effect. I'm pretty sure they were in ME2.

    For instance Throw and Warp are just one of a few pairings that will cause a biotic explosion, another is Pull and Reave. You can also do tech bursts, obviously this applies to tech skills like overload and incinerate, and fiery explosions, not sure how to que that one though.

    Yeah I do remember them from ME2 but I managed to get very few working... >____> It's pretty cool stuff though. Definitely adds another layer to the combat.

    Yup there are a bunch of them, I think an "enveloping" skill will cause an explosion. (Warp, stasis, reave, pull, incinerate, cryo blast, etc.)

    The only one that doesn't seem to work is Dark Channel, but that's single player only anyways, and it does cause an explosion if you use it to follow up warp.

    Of course, don't quote me on this, these are the only ones that I know work.

    So, I just finished Earthbound, and I loved it. I've played a bit of Mother 3 before, but not enough to really get into it. Is it similar?

    For anyone who has played ME3 I cant find a good answer online and dont worry no spoilers.

    I'm an infiltrator so I basically only put my sniper rifle away if someone manages to get close, is the black widow worth the 250,000 credits?

    Depends, what difficulty? It's pretty much just the widow, but with 3 rounds in the chamber instead of one, which is awesome for multiplayer, but pretty much overkill for single player as the widow already pretty much kills anything in one-shot. I mean if you really like sniper rifles, it's pretty much the end all be all for them.

    Thats a buy then, playing on hardcore. Enemies have been getting harder to the N7 rifle hasn't been up to par the last few missions.

    Then I highly recommend buying it, it'll get the job done on hardcore/insanity.

    There is no rocket launcher, and getting into an enemies face on the higher difficulty almost always ends in instant death, for you that is.

    I chose infiltrator, I'm better suited to ranged/stealth combat.

    I dont like it, too much recoil between shots.

    Bitch please, you should be one-shotting most things anywys. The 2 extra shots are just icing.

    What skills do Infiltrators have again? Obviously tactical cloak, but what else? Cryoshock, grenades?

    I like the sneak up on the enemy then throw/fire anything explosive approach, i then back off a bit after the mega assault and pick off any stragglers with a weaker weapon. I try to apply this to any FPS i find this works well in most games unless the weapons are quite weak.
