After playing ME2 I've gone back to ME1, but I have problems getting my squaddies to use their powers. The first problem is that I can't seem to assign their powers to the shortcut bar - I can only assign my own! Was ME1 always that way? The second problem is that they just don't use their offensive powers regardless of how I set the gameplay options. Use Squad Powers "Always" and "Defensive Only" both seem to do the same thing - my squaddies will boost shields and throw up barriers but that's all they'll do unless I pause the game and force them to use an offensive power. Again, was it always that way?
