D.A. fan is back for an ME1 Text Only 'Let's Play' (page 51)

Both my Sheps are on the Normandy now.

In some situations, the dialogue makes better sense with a Renshep, but then in others Renshep is just too insane to be considered anything but a loose cannon, let alone Spectre material. Still, he's a hoot.

When I go for that option, I usually wait until after I'm in an actual relationship.  I take my LI along when I first talk with Shaira (and they will interject with a jealous comment) and then I take my LI back to the ship and bring either Garrus and Wrex (BroShep - guys night out) or Ashley and Tali (FemShep - girls night out).  It just all feels more like Shep is a habitual cheat and I can let it all play out with ramifications right through to the end of the Trilogy.

Everyone gets the option, but the prompt dialogue isn't clear at all as to where it's leading.  It's easy to assume that Shepard just wants more money.  It's the bottom right option "That's it?"

Udina is an annoying blowhard more often than not. His obnoxious posturing in front of the Council never works and actually makes me more sympathetic to them even when they're being stubborn about something.

Are there any ramifications to cheating with Sha'ira?

Yes. Because I want to immediately see the difference between Renshep and Parashep. Also, things like finding the Keepers again are easy and ten times faster. On top of all that, not certain I'll ever play ME1 again, so now I'll be used to the controls entirely for both PTs, as well have an understanding of skill trees. I think both the skill trees and the fighting mechanics change in the next two games.

So I play Parashep on Normal to a certain plot point.
Then load up Renshep on Hard and play to the same plot point.
Then Switch.

This is how I'm noticed a lot of Top Right and Middle Right Dialogues are exactly the same, because I still have a clear memory of what I said last time as PArashep. There was even two lines of dialogue where literally all three Right lines were the same, which....why would they do that?

Isn't the middle right line a neutral option? If so, that would be why it's the same.

There are several places in ME1 where they've appeared to give you the three options, but each one results in Shepard saying the exact same line.  There is a Youtube video about it (link in spoiler tag below):

Really? I had no idea! Finally something concrete to put into the "Things I've never done" thread. Thanks for that bit of info, will try that on my next run. :top:

To me, it just felt like a wasted click, slowing the game down for no good reason.  I don't need Shepard to sound angrier to RP that he/she is angrier.

Great job with the ME CC.  I can never get my BroSheps to look that good.
