Poll: Mass Effect Paragon or Renegade?

[jmd102993]

i was a paragon, but i chose to give over the base (oops spoiler??), idk what it is, but i trust the illusive man

Paragon first, then I replay as a renegade, I find it difficult to be a renegade but at least the bad guy options fit in the overall story. Not like Fallout 3's "I'm the freaking Richard III of the wasteland, I kill everyone I meet, have you seen my daddy?"

I was renegade because I wanted to look like the Terminator.

At the moment, I'm running Renegade. I normally play these types of games over to see both sides though.

 

[Indecipherable]

I ended up 100% paragon with maybe 20% Renegade on both games. There were stages where I felt I should pick Renegade but the game would not understand my rationalisation for my decisions. There were a number of times that a Renegade decision had the possibility of saving many more lives with more certainty than the "all for one" dangerous choices of Paragon (note; this is why I had the 20% renegade, not the instances that my own justification of choices would not be understood by the game or the limited conversational options).

 

[Shock and Awe]

I have good intentions, but I use harsh means to do so.

I'm a big sweety-pie Paragon who occasionally smacks up a ***** (once with fire).

I find myself surprisingly incapable of being a Renegade in Mass Effect (one or two). Every time I try (I mean REALLY try) I always abandon the tainted character and go back to a Paragon one. Mass Effect gets to me too much for me to act like a dick to people.

Maybe it's cause the writing is good, or maybe it's cause I LOVE the science in the game and connect with it on a fathomless level and want to be good to it and love it passionately for nine glorious minutes in a bathroom stall.

Like with KOTOR, naturally paragon, but once I've got myself in the right mindset I can play through as renegade a couple of times to see the different stuff and rather enjoy it. Those idiots deserve what they get and I deserve forcing ever last penny available from everyone I meet.

But yeah, myself, me, RPing, first time and by default am the 'good guy' (or girl more often in ME what with the better voice acting).

 

[Nullphantom]

I always play paragon and make the good decisions. I played evil on KOTOR the first time and the Star Forge was so hard with shitty Bastila and Canderous. Since then, I have always played a good character and ME2 is no exception

 

[Romblen]

That depends on what gender my character is. If I play as male Shepard, I play Paragon. If I play as female Shepard, I play Renegade. I'm not really sure why.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

Paragon, although that didn't stop me from being a dick from time to time.

 

[Mekado]

Paragon most of the playthroughs, although i have to admit the Renegade line ;
"As this is a high-security vessel, you'll have to relinquish your weapons"
"I'll relinquish one bullet, where do you want it?"
Is pure awesome ^^

 

[Mike the Bard]

for the most part i play as paragon, just can't help myself. but i hate it that all the joking around and sarcasm are involved in the renegade section. i guess i should give renegade a try, but when i do i would still probably do some paragon stuff kus i don't want to be a complete dick. just a sarcastic ass.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

When I was younger I'd always go bad or renegade in every game that gave me the choice. Now I always play Paragon. I just try to make the decisions I would make and that always ends up as paragon.

 

[cptjack42]

The first game, it kind of just made you seem like an asshole to be renegade, but the second one the renegade choices were just so...cool.

 

[Miumaru]

Paragon, since my guy liked being good and proffessional. Though I think I will be darker in ME2 when I finally get to it...all the stress and being forced to work for Cerberus is really ticking my Shepard off.
