- Start at lvl 1. If you reuse a lvl 20 from a previous game clear, you'll be in trouble. Enemies scale with your level, but since all your research and weapon upgrades start back at square one in a new game, you'll be greatly outmatched. Starting at level 1 scales back the enemies, and since you get material bonuses from prior runs of ME 1 and 2, you'll have a slight edge at the start.
Haha, really? I did insanity with a lvl 20 character. Awww
OP, here's a few tips I learned though my Insanity play-through:
Don't play as a Soldier - I constantly found myself running out of ammo.
Don't "run" through it - take your time, enemies will mow through your shields easily.
Do take characters with Warp, Incinerate and other shield, armor damaging abilities - they do much more damage than bullets or basic abilities.
Do take command of your squad - the AI is very thick but use them correctly and they will save your ass often and should deal more damage than you. Enemies will target you, you can use that to lure then into traps.
Once you get into the hang of things it won't take very long. It is tedious as fuck though, good luck.
Edit: Oh, and the dlc weapons and armor help a lot
