Renegade, Shepard suits the cold badass.

I can't be a renegade, because if I do, I feel compelled to kill my character at every chance I get because I hate them so much.
As far as I'm concerned, Renegade Shepard is still basically good. Just sort of... anti-hero-ish, without actually going to the lengths that say, Frank Castle goes to on a regular basis. It's more of a question of "lawful or chaotic" than "good or evil".
That said, I ended both games with more Paragon points than Renegade points. But I still had 20% of my renegade bar filled up.

I prefer the paragon shepard. but that doesn't mean he won't get mad sometimes and maybe push a person off a building or punch a reporter from time to time.
I'm already being too nice in real life, so I vote asshole shepard. I tried paragorn after, but it was too mushy.
I was only nice to Joker and Kelly, my main *****.

I liked the renegade scars, the way the light glowed through them was lovely. My problem was there wasn't always a good renegade choice. I didn't take the choice as being between good or evil. Renegade Shepard still did the right thing, she (I played female) just wasn't as polished or politically correct in her methods.Midnight Crossroads said:
I'm pretty much all paragon all the time with the exception of the end of my first playthrough of the first game in which I let the council die.
I played ME2 as both Renegade and Paragon (Multiple times for each though more Paragon runs)
ME1 I've also tried both, but prefer Paragon.
Also in ME2 when going into the quarrantined area at the start I find it very difficult to let the Batarian die... I don't know why.

I like BADASS Shepard. Not a crazed murderer (like renegade in ME1 was), but badass, awesome, trigger-happy Shepard.
Going to have to go with Paragon; to me, Evil/Renegade Shepard isn't really bad; (s)he's more a jerk. I understand what being a Renegade is supposed to be all about, but when you actually are a Renegade in Mass Effect, you come across as just being a massive prick rather than either an unconventional or an at-all-costs type. I mean, I like when Shepard is a jerk to jerks (Oh hello insinuating reporter *FALCON PUNCH!*), but I don't want to be a jerk to everyone just to get my Renegade up. The fact there is no benefit for a middle ground doesn't work for me; if Paragon and Renegade had nothing to do with intimidation and persuasion, I'd be fine with being bit of both.
I preferred the KOTOR system which meant there was some kind of middle ground which was of benefit (No discount either Light and Dark Force Powers, but no additional cost for using the opposite ones to the side you were aligned with.)
