So if I get this game, how should I play through it? Meaning what class should I choose? I see you guys mentioning Renegade and a few others. Keeping in mind that I prefer action over casting spells and talking.
regardless of class, u will be able to use guns and will need to use your guns. I loved playing as an adept (spell type powers) cause the powers are so fucking cool. Think of singularity twigg and multiply by 100....its so much better in ME2.
but the thing is that u will still get to an assault rifle and pistol and SMG and specialty big gun when being an adept....and im sure you use all these with other classes too except a soldier might swap a sniper rifle in place of something else....shit like that
plus, every class has powers...they all do. they just have different types of powers. you have to decide what kind of guy u want to be and what powers to use.
characters are named in this link to the powers...

renegade is about how your develop your personality. there are paragon (good) and renegade (evil) choices in every conversation you have. how you play will determine how things play out with everything you do in this game.
here are the 6 different classes
Adept - Biotic Specialist
Soldier - Combat Specialist
Engineer - Tech Specialist
Vanguard - Biotic / Combat
Sentinel - Tech / Biotic
Infiltrator - Tech / Combat
one thing that gets missed alot in this game is how tactical you can be with your team. it doesnt have the depth of a ghost recon or R6 Vegas....but you still get some tactical moves to play with
