Dialogue Mechanics thread

Idk what that is but alls i did was level up my paragon/renegade skill tree as the first thing to max out. It opened up dialogue and made it easier to gain paragon renegade points. Mass Effect 2 didnt have a skill tree like Mass Effect 1 did for dialogue. It had a similar tree but the only thing it did was give you more points in your renegade/paragon bars. Dialogue opened up depending on the amount of points you had in the para/rene bar. Unlike Mass Effect 1 was dependant on the skill tree and not the para/rene points bar as much. In Mas Effect 2 if you went through the game doing some renegade things and some paragon things even if you have the tree fully levelled up you were still unable to resolve major conflicts. So in a way in kind of forced you to be all paragon or all renegade on your first playthrough just so you can have enough points to solve conflicts where as MAss Effect 1 was more dependent on if you put skill points into your para or rene skill tree. Atleast that was my experience. 

For a better explanation. Mass Effect 1 if you level up para and rene in the skill tree it opened up alot of dialogue for you in both renegade and paragon depending on what you levelled up. The paragon/renegade bar wasnt too much of a factor. It was just there to show how paragon or renegade you were. But Mass Effect 2 you can have the skill tree fully levelled but dialogue options were dependent on the renegade/paragon point bar and not the skill tree making you feel like you need to be fully para or fully rene just to have enough points to solve conflicts

What made it worse is that in Mass Efect 2 its pointless to level up paragon and renegade in the skill tree unless youve already made enough para/rene choices because it multiplied based upon the amount of points you had in your rene/para bar. Mass Effect 1 wasnt so dependent on the bars just the skill tree
