I want to replay Mass Effect 2 to get different results in the game and transfer it to 3 for different events. However, I am having a hard time getting past the controls now. They feel so clunky compared to 3 and I keep dying on early levels when I used to be awesome at them. Is there a way around this?

The main issues seem to be me not noticing when my shields are down, Shephard's super brief running bits and slow response to taking cover.

I know it's not my playing; I do fantastic in Mass Effect 3.

Engineer; decided to play from scratch, so my overload/combat drone isn't very strong.

Ah. I've played through insanity with each class at least once, and engineer is one of the ones that needs to stick to cover, which sucks. I prefer Vanguard since charge lessens the need for cover, and Assault sentinels are even better. You'll probably find it way easier once you reach mid-game, but the first act up until Horizon is pretty difficult with nearly every class.

I could continue from my old game with different decisions on normal difficulty. Would make the game difficulty more balanced potentially...I think I enjoy playing as a vanguard more anyways.

I decided ages back in play a totally diffirent game with a Renegade Femshep Infiltrator, compared to my usual Paragon Maleshep Adept. My problem has mostly been from I find it so emotionally draining to have my character do some of the mean things she does, also not sure how to do bad things, and get a good ending.

There's Youtube videos for that. Some like the sociopath Shephard, some don't.
