Just wondering why you and your party have this lift ability, but I encounter no enemy that does it back to you? I think it would be cool and scary if some of the enemies lifted you up in the air and there was nothing you could do about it. All they seem to do on me is warp or knock me to the ground. Was it too hard to program? Would it be prone to being buggy? |

It would mean a serious balancing issue if enemies could kill you (especially since Shep's death means game over) with one well-placed lift. |

If you use biotics on enemies, then you know how insanely easy it is for people to get knocked into unreachable area's.
1/5 enemies I throw end up inside of a solid object. |

I'm glad they didn't. There is nothing I hate more in a game than to have my ability to act taken away from me. Enemy biotics already do that more than enough thank you, the last thing they need is another option for screwing me out my turn. |

I think it would have caused too many bugs. Imagine a group of geth using lift at the same time, causing you and maybe your entire group to be flying for multiple seconds, then to land safely on the ground, without hitting any obstacles, which could easily stuck your character.
No, i think itīs fair that the enemies arenīt capable of using lift, but maybe we will see a change to that in ME2, who knows?

It would have been nice to see enemy biotics balanced out better, which would have given a bigger value to damping, but seeing how biotics can easily break the game in your favor, I doubt anyone wants to run into an enemy or group of enemies that make frequent use of lift, singularity, stasis, etc. You'd be frozen in place, just waiting for your slow death. |

Maybe it could have been an interesting addition to insane mode! (If there were no bugs with it). But these Biotics in the game are not that scary. My Soldger Shepard mops the floor with most of them. |
