So, I had been hearing about this "Widow" sniper rifle for awhile now.
Somehow I never acquired it on my Vanguard playthrough (Lora Shepard) .
Not that it would've been all THAT useful for a Vanguard, considering
the playstyle. So I wasn't too put out to just have the Viper, which, if
I really NEEDED to snipe something, would be forgiving of missed shots
because of the ammo load.
This time, Sassinak Shepard is on the
Collector ship for the first time, with Mordin and Tali. And what do
I get offered? The Widow. Sassinak is a soldier. I've got maxed out
Adrenaline Rush AND Combat Mastery (Shock Trooper) and I've been using
AR as an easy way to go for headshots, etc.
"Hmm... Only 13
Ammo? The Viper had 60. Oh well. Let's see what this thing can do, holy
CRAP it's huge. Good thing Sass has all that extra muscle weave and
carbon fiber lacing her bones."
First chance I have to use the
thing is on the Platforms. This part of the fight always makes me
nervous. Limited areas to go. Gotta watch the firing angles. This was
hell on my Vanguard.
Well here comes Harbinger,
"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL"
So Sass unlimbers the Widow, triggers
Adrenaline Rush, lines up a head shot on Harbinger just as Tali
unleashes a tech drone and Mordin gives him a Flame burst.
"YOU
WILL FEEL PAIN, SHE... "
!!!BOOM!!!
Poof.
No more Harbinger.
*cue Robocop* "I LIKE IT!!!!!"
So
goes the next few minutes, past the platforms, making our way back to
the shuttle -
"PRESERVE SHEPARD'S BODY IF PO..."
!!!BOOM!!!
"IF I MUST TEAR YOU AP..."
!!!BOOM!!!
"FOCUS ON SHE..."
!!!BOOM!!!
"I KNOW YOU FEE..."
!!!BOOM!!!
"STOP INTERRUPTING WHEN I'M TAU..."
!!!BOOM!!!
"NOW CUT
THAT..."
!!!BOOM!!!
"SHEPARD,
YOU ARE DOING THAT ON PUR..."
!!!BOOM!!!
Mordin: "Detecting
distinct lack of seriousness?"
Tali: "Shepard, Please do not
taunt the ancient homicidal avatar of machine directed entropy?"
Sass: *Grins
and lines up another headshot* "To quote my bud Garrus, 'Scoped and
dropped!"
!!!BOOM!!!
