Is there a secret 'Paragon/Renegade' style score in ME:A...?

If the ME Trilogy or the Witcher Trilogy tought me anything it's the following: Savegames are worthless and will forever be worthless, except for some Easter Eggs and 2-3 dialogues from Companions.

It's all great in Theory, but if something hasn't worked for 10 years now, why are we still asking for it?

Just let those choices have an impact now in form of a DLC and be done with it. Andromeda 2 should be a fresh start.

Is there an option for her not to be imprisoned? I've only done two full playthroughs, and she was jailed in both.

Ah so there is some variations to this! Mine might be bugged though, because she has ended up jail in my PTs as well, although I answered differently each time. And on the second playthrough, she suddenly started giving me Tann's 'thanks', although I hadn't been painting rainbows over the AI's status.

The closest thing to such a score is the psychological profile that Lexi creates on Ryder.

After my second play through I think there might be a chunk of subtlety in the writing that's impossible to notice with one PT.

My example:

In my first PT, as Sara, did not get into any romance at all with Liam. At the end of the game, when she asks him how he thinks she's doing as Pathfinder, he said: "You're the Pathfinder for everyone; that's the best!". I go, hmm, that's pretty inarticulate even for you (file away as weak writing).

Second PT, Sara has a one-night stand on the smeggy couch with Liam. After that, Liam's relationship with Sara is a bit edgier, and his comment at the end refers to the results speaking for themselves.

Then I connected these differences to Lexi's warning that Liam might be falling for you. So, while on my second PT there's an air of stand-offish equality to Sara's and Liam's relationship, my first PT, Sara friend-zoned Liam and he ends up with a major crush on her, puts her on a pedestal; hence his particularly garbled dialogue. So what I filed way as weak writing initially suddenly seems rather cute and nuanced.

Ya know, I like that breakdown you have.

I played through as logical/professional, but I guess in many ways it was more of authoritarian/propagandist runthrough. Or at least, they set it up that way.

For example - I didn't want to badmouth Tann, because what the hell good would it do? I kept feeling like the responses to him, and a bunch of small things in the game, were suggesting that Ryder was not supposed to like him. Especially in the initial convo with him. There was no reason for Ryder to give him so much attitude, but all the dialogue choices seemed to be edged with it.

I had no issue with Tann. He was doing the best he could do in an impossible situation. Of course he would try to suppress panic as much as possible, especially considering the fact the initiative folks are a bunch of crybabies who thought everything was going to be peachy and then went feral when there were unforeseen problems. The rebellion, at least the way it was described in the game, was disgraceful. Turning on your own people in such a situation. I found it disgusting, and I had no pity for any of them.

I found it much harder to like Addison because she basically covered up for one of her cronies who went and got herself pregnant, with absolutely no concern for the scarcity of resources!!!! What a selfish jerk. And then...keeping Spencer on as her lackey even through he did some really shady things with the Krogan? At least Tann is open about his distrust for them. And all of Addison's bitchiness boils doen to the fact that she doesn't have all the power she wants.

So, yeah...I went the propaganda route in the interviews. But seriously, what good would it do anyone to rile up the remaining Nexus folks? Sure, shit is bad...but it could be worse. And I didn't want to make it worse by making folks lose what little faith they had in their leaders.

So in summary...I guess logic does kinda = renegade in this game...from a certain perspective. Still...I wish I had more opportunity to punch people. Especially Addison.

Hallelujah.  I loved TW3, but I am so sick of people acting like it is the end-all be-all of RPG existence.  DAO blows MEA and TW3 both outta the water, in my book!

Interesting take on Tann.  His personality didn't bother my Ryder (or me, really...except for his opinion of krogan, which is my favorite race in ME!!). I feel like Addison's actions were the issue, not her personality.  From what I got from the game, one of the the big issues that provoked the rebellion was folks wanting their family members woken up...folks who were annoyed at how getting outta cryo was handled (ie, who were considered "vital" people).  The fact that Addison woke up her school chum, who then went and got pregnant, stole a shuttle, and started stealing initiative resources was classic cronyism. And it was her assistant Spencer, that she constantly protected, who was the real krogan-hater of the group. 

But I do agree...at least she seems human...well...after her face was fixed in the patch, that is!

For my next PT, I am gonna role with a Ryder who sympathizes with Addison ad dislikes Tann.I guess, more of the candid, paragon type.  Interested to see how it plays out...
