Would you like to see a Paragon/Renegade system added to MEA?

No that System is a relic from Kotor and should never return. It simply doesn't work in Mass Effect. It makes more sense in SWTOR.
The Andromeda Sequel should have a more adult Ryder, since she/he is a Veteran now. We simply need the badass Dialogue option and ways to hit Addison.

No. Sure i miss being able to be a bitch sometimes but this system is better and more nuanced. The empathic/passionate response isn't always good and the logical response isn't always callous.

Room for improvement tho, i especially hate that you're automatically best friends for ever with every member of your squad.

No.

I'm all for having options that are Paragon or Renegade in style, but I don't want to be pigeon holed into towing that line for the entirety of my character for speech benefits and skill points.

I like the system that's already in place.

There are so many npcs that need a Renegade punch in the face.

No

Yes. I was always a renegade and killed everyone. I miss that.

No - I like the system of ME:A far more. That old Paragon/Renegade ruined choices for me. While you try to make a neutral choice (or your own choice) that stupid red/blue color forces you in a certain direction, if you like it or not. You can try to ignore it, but it does steer your choices anyway.

In ME:A you can even turn off the icons, so you have no "feedback" at all, and your choices are really yours. Far, far better!

The P/R system no, renegade-like options yes.

Exactly this! I wanted an option to tell them to both shut the fuck up and grow the fuck up. I've had too many reactions like this.


Except you can't, you're always polite and nice, even when you want to be a jerk or give a sarcastic remark or ya know, SOMETHING. Most of the time you only get 2 options: Professional or Casual, Logical or Emotional. I replayed certain scenes just to try the other responses (at first it was because the one I chose didn't actually happen the way the summary text made me think it would), and all the responses are basically the exact same, just in a slightly different tone. I didn't feel that I ever got to make a dialog choice that expressed what I wanted. You can't actually disagree with anyone.

In ME3 when the Quarian Admiral shot at the Geth ship while you and your squad were in it, once back on the Normandy (yes I know this is technically a Renegade response) you have the option to PUNCH HIM instead of letting that ass keep speaking, and then kick him off your ship. Ryder can never do that, they're too nice and polite and accommodating. I feel like I'm playing a spineless wimp with no self confidence who is trying to please everyone.

Only if it's not good and evil, I thought the original premise was following the letter of the law or blurring the line a little. An example is like in Leviathan where you're risking someone's health to get the information need. Should you keep going and keep risking their health or stop and not take the risk. Basically are you willing to cross a few lines to get things done. But it turned into a good vs evil thing.

But I would have liked a lot more interrupts or the option to really tell people what was on my mind. You had to sit and take a lot of stuff in this game. When my crew walked out on me and I had to sit there just looking all pitiful, I was waiting for the option to say get the F back here, I didn't say this meeting was over, and lay down how things were gonna work on your ship.

In the trilogy, it was a very important part of the Mass Effect experience for me. I feel like that part was lost without us getting anything in return. There's no persuasion options of any kind, and even the interrupts seem few and far between compared to ME2 and ME3.

I'm not saying they need to bring the Paragon/Renegade system back as it was, that ship has sailed. Personally I had no problem with some options being locked depending on alignment, even if sometimes the requirements were admittedly a bit extreme (resisting Morinth in ME2 comes to mind). Many of the options, such as talking down Saren were very memorable and, at least for me, both gave the feeling of achievement and increased the replayability factor. Then there was the change made in ME3, also a reasonable step in the right direction.

Anyway, Andromeda is a different game and wanting to try something new is understandable. If there's ever a right time and place to experiment, that was it. I just wish autodialogue was kept on hold until after ME3 in a similar manner. But as it is, what we got is hardly anything new. More or less a transplant of Dragon Age's dialogue wheel, right down to the tone icons, isn't at all what I ever hoped to find in a Mass Effect game, unfortunately.

Not an exact copy, but effectively you should have some persuasion/intimidation option locked out based on previous choice. If you build an reputation as a peace maker and avoid violence, npc should take your threat with less credibility. Likewise, if you tend to backstab and fuck people over, people shouldn't be trusting of your promise.

So basically a smarter and subtler morality system would be good. No need to make it binary or highlighted in red and blue
