What?
They have that already - if you've got the paragon/renegade meters equivalent to each other, you're morally grey. The further apart they are, the less morally neutral.
Though it would be nice if you had a bonus options in dialogue comparable to the ones you gain access to if you pick paragon or renegade, so moral choices actually become choices.
I still don't get it; there are neutral responses during conversations and there is representation of a morally neutral viewpoint on the paragon/renegade scale.
There is, but occasionally you get extra dialogue options based on your alignment, allowing you to increase your rewards, or get out of a mission entirely, and the higher level options require more points put into either one to choose, so if you do a neutral game, you don't fill up either meter all the way, cutting you off from certain dialogue options. This could be fixed if there were unlockable dialogue options that require a certain number of both renegade and paragon points.
Yes, but those situations arise when you need to push someone through intimidating or charming them - you can't do anything if someone's answered neutral the entire game, and even then they'll still have points through do or don't choices that they've had to make.
You can try and persuade a person to do something by refining your neutralness on them.
It's still stupid, as the system punishes for neutrality... And for picking the preferred options.
Instead of actually picking the options I like the best, I bounce around between the paragon and renegade ones like bipolar multiple-personality identity problem ridden puppy, just so that I can get as many Paragon/Renegade as is needed to not screw up key points of the plot.
And how does it make sense that practicing diplomatic neutrality and not being an extreme personality actually makes you worse at solving things peacefully? Take the scenes with Jack and Miranda or Tali and Legion for example - if you have been neutral and diplomatic the whole game, you probably aren't capable of actually solving the situation diplomatically.
That makes no sense - I mean I can see how you might not be able to do it the Renegade way (basically telling everyone to shut the fuck up and stay in line on your ship) but I honestly don't see how the Paragon option is unusable for a neutral Shepard.
I mean at least the Tali/Legion scene with Paragon option is all about making both see the other side of things - something you'd think a person who rarely takes an extreme stance either way would point out.
