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

It was never good vs evil. Where do you people come up with this?

Yes a merc who's whole group is trying to kill you, cuz leaving them alive, behind you, is a good idea right? Oh, maybe you want to take time to handcuff them and call the police? Yeah, that'll work, and loose your chance at getting the person you were sent to recruit right? The assassin who is suppose to help you take down the collectors, who are, if you forgot, abducting thousands and thousands of people and liquefying them to make a human reaper. Oh, and they are working directly for the reapers.

Yeah, let's take time to be a boy scout. You're ruthless, pragmatic, and in a hurry (cuz, ya know, Shep doesn't know if the assassin will die because of those mercs before s/he reaches him). Is it evil to blow up an entire solar system? Yeah, maybe, but what's the bigger goal? TO SAVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE! Kill one, save a billion. It's a fair trade. I'd say saving that billion certainly is more good than killing the one.

Is it evil to punch the 'reporter' who's trying to twist everything to make Shep look like an evil jerk or incompetent moron? No, but you are an ass for doing it (and it feels good), and it stops her from making her own spin on it to turn it against you again. That's also a Renegade action.

So is punching the Quarian who shot at you and your team on the Geth ship and kicking him off your ship because he's a loose cannon and short sighted. Was that evil? Hell no.

But please, ignore everything else so you can simply call it good and evil. Maybe your thousands of hours playing ME were done while sleeping, because you missed a lot.

The someone was an enemy combatant, ofc you kill them.

Of course. But the argument that people often use here is that, they want to be able play as character who is either  ALL good, or ALL out bad.  I never ever went the full on Renegade or Paragon in the Trilogy because it's just too restrictive to me.  I much prefer a happy medium between the two....like the system in ME:3.

I guess, personally picking the "what *I* would do" options just ends up like 98% Renegade.

Poll is flawed, while lack of more ruthless dialogue options could be a problem in MEA, we don't need the Paragon-Renegade system for that.

Cause I'm pragmatic, I have pretty flat affect and I don't like people. To take the Thane recruitment mission as exemple again, if I'm going into a place filled with hostiles, I find one alone, normally I was gonna shoot him like the others right ? So if I question him and he won't answer, I kill him, like I would have done normally. I don't see how that's a bad action. It even saves a bullet so if anything it's slightly positive.

If he did give me info, I'd still kill him anyway though, which one might see as kind of a dick move. But he's still an enemy combatant so I personally don't see an issue there either.

Agreed. What a shame the guy above couldn't articulate this, and instead choose to insult me personally!

Let me just be evil. Give me that option. Why do I need some shitty system to allow me that privilege.

Please don't talk to me. You immediately went on the offensive and made personal insults. I've got no time for people like you!

I have a hard time believing most of us want a full reversion to the OT P/R system, I know I don't, but as the dialog stands at the moment, it is basically different flavors of Paragon. When Addison talks smack to Ryder, about their father, I think a natural response could easily be to tell her to go to hell, or something similar, but you never get an option like that. Not in that conversation, and not in any conversation as far as I have been able to tell.

Renegade has almost always been more 'gut' feeling, hold nothing back, tell it like it is, break the rules/social norms, etc., at least to me. If we had more interrupts that accomplished some more Renegade-type things, I think I'd be happy.

Pushing Peebee off isn't Paragon or Renegade, neither are most interrupts that I can think of, except for shooting the one Kett after making a deal with them. In fact most interrupts are more akin to Paragon, which the game seems too filled with. It has a lack of emotion, passion specifically, and it's that reason why I would either like the Paragon/Renegade system to come back in some way (again, not fully), or have dialog choices that have passion, that aren't always nice.

Wait a second. In which universe is executing prisoners out of hand like that acceptable? He's allowed to not answer questions without being murdered..... unless the MEU has really taken a step back from current standards, which is possible.
