Contains stuff about ending
Don't look unless you want spoilers.
WOW I just had the most epic endgame battle ever, it was totally cinema worthy!
My party consisted of 2 snipers, the main shooter named 'Pharaoh' and has lived through an ungodly amount of shit, basically he is the last remaining soldier from the very beginning. NOT ONLY that but it turns out that he was psi-active and has been the ONLY one I found to possess psi powers in the game. A fucking legend.
The rest of the team was the other sniper, basically I brought him in when he was a squaddie, I liked to think of 'Pharaoh' grooming him in a weird imaginary way to Major Rank. Two support a Heavy and an Assault.
My team gets all the way to the helm of the ship, a little worse for wear and engage the Prime Ethereal.
The battle starts and he spawns a shit ton of elite Mutons, real bad news, I run my "Rookie" sniper up to a top ledge and have 'Pharaoh' shoot the two closest Elites, successfully drilling holes in both their skulls, SUPER cool.
End of the turn and all of a sudden the Prime Ethereal blows the shit out of my squad with a well placed rift. Kills my Heavy 'Nova' outright and she hits the floor already dead. Sends my one support 'Vita' into shock, bleeding out on the floor. What is left is 'Pharaoh' with 5 hp left, my Assault 'Septic' with 1 hp and my other support 'Smokes' left with 3. Of course the Ethereal mind controls my assault to add insult to injury.
"OH shit!" I think to myself, "How the fuck am I gonna fix this?" I decide to go for broke and blast that son-of-a-bitch Ethereal, I have 'Pharaoh' blast him with his double tap getting him under half. 'Smokes' also unloads on the Ethereal but only drops him 5 hp. Hes still got quite a bit left. The worst part of this was that my assault had reactionary shots the whole time, he managed to miss 'Pharaoh' and 'Smokes' next turn hes gonna kill one or the other. I'm in deep shit, I haven't even considered the other elites on their way next turn.
Then fucking "Rookie" mother fucking sniper takes a crack at it. I KNOW its good, because it does a slow-mo shot and you just see the fucking plasma bolt fly straight at the Ethereals head and blow it clean off. HOLY SHIT he LITERALLY just saved the day! SO EPIC!
Then it does the whole endgame cutscene and shit. WOW, I really couldn't have asked for a better ending to that game.
