I wish I wasn't feeling restartitis so soon after starting ME3, but here I am. Just finished Palaven and picked up Javik, and I just am not interested. So I was thinking about what would constitute a Chaotic Good playthrough in the vein of D&D.
The "chaotic" part is fairly simple RP-wise because she'll be someone who is thrilled to be a Spectre and (mostly) out from under the thumb of the Alliance. She'll probably also really like working for Cerberus because they allow her so much freedom. Not sure how she'll fit in ME3, so some help there would be appreciated.
I'm having trouble with the "good" part though, because in ME, good is often the equivalent of law-abiding and Paragon, and this definitely feels like a more Renegade playthrough. Certain decisions like saving the Rachni Queen falls under Chaotic Good and Paragon and that's fine, but I think she'd also choose to free the prisoners on Virmire, which will end badly. But such is the price of RP.
I also sabotage the cure on almost every playthrough, but that won't work with this. Not only does it introduce chaos, but it's the "good" thing to do.
That said, any advice about decisions or RP for a character like this?

Chaotic-good Shepard is Shepard who thinks of something as "good" according to her/his (Player's) understanding of situations and uses her/his own methods to accomplish what she thinks is "good".
Krogan race can be a danger according to Shepard thus sabotage the cure and shooting Mordin inthe back is a good thing to do - Shepard thinks of others in the galaxy (or any other explanation). Using any methods- deal with the salarians, shooting Mordin - does not matter.
Krogan race is no danger according to Shepard (Player)/deserves a chance/useful in war/etc. - uses the cure ignoring other opinions.
The same is with the Rachni queen, the Geth, Falere (potential Banshee).
Player's views of "good" with explanation "why" it is good.
Good - what the player thinks is 'good".
Chaotic - just accomplish what is "good" using any methods: paragon/renegade phrases, yelling, comforting, law-abiding, ignoring the law, ignoring threats from others and angry phraes.
Advice - your own understanding of "good" and do it using any methods.
