Pardon the necroing here but I just had to add:



There is no force in the 'verse that will make me take the renegade option in the finale of the Overlord DLC. None.

No matter how renegade my playthrough is, I can NEVER..........NEVER betray Samara. Whe she says the line, "I don't work for Cerberus, I work for you" to Shepherd......there is NO WAY I can pick Morinth over her. Morinth dies EVERYTIME!!!

Well I think the new obvious one is that I can't choose the Renegade option at the end for the new Overlord DLC (Not spoiling it for those who haven't played it yet)

The krogan genophage. Still don't know if will cause a new intergalactic war. Still I gave them a chance.

The Heretics. Destroying them in the end provides to be the Renegade choice. Still, brainwashing a species of sentient beings capable of thinking, I don't find it that 'paragonish'

Kind of an odd one, but it is during Jack's recruitment mission. When you are walking down the hall near the beginning, I have to stop the guards beating on that inmate in the cell, and I have to use the renegade option.

Anybody who morally supports keeping Morinth over Samara is morally bankrupt psycho who should not be saving the galaxy. Another choice I can't do is give Cerberus the collector base. Just no!

Any of the following from ME1 and ME2:

Killing the Rachni (seriously even Renegade Shep. knows genocide is not right)

Destroying the Collector Base (Paragon Shep. understands it is to valuable to lose)

Heretic Reprogramming (brainwashing is just unethical)

Killing Shiala (again can't do it she herself had done nothing wrong)

Alright, I'll admit I think I've made every single choice possible in ME1 and most in ME2 but now the choices I just can't do ever again.



Let Fist live. Seriously, the guy sent Tail off to be murdered and is responsible for who knows how many other murders. He doesn't deserve to live to be able to murder again.



Don't give Tail the Geth data. Alright, this one never made sense to me. Why would you not give her the data? (In fact I think this is the only choice in the game where I haven't done both choices)



Let Balak go from the BDTS DLC. What, save half a dozen people and let him leave to try this again at another colony that I might not be around to save that time?



Let Jacob's father live. Like Fist the guy is scum.



Morinth. I see no reason why I would pick her over Samara.



Stop Garrus from having his revenge. Sidonis betrayed Garrus and his entire team, he doesn't deserve to walk away with his life.

I admit, it's been a while since I did let him explain that one time so I don't recall what exactly he said.

I guess the one that hasn't been mentioned is that I can't take the renegade dialogue options that consist of pointless dickishness toward squadmates. I mean, I like being a take-no-prisoners badass, but that's no excuse for being an ****hole.

Indeed. I see little point to being a jerk to your followers. As it is I hate every time when I talk to Wrex you're forced in that first dialog to make that completely idiotic comparision between his race getting hit with the Genophage, and the humans tiny short little skirmish with the Turians. Yeah, they're so completely similar Shep.

I have 3 characters: Paragon, Paragada and Renegade. 

1) The first is a spacer warhero that promotes virtue, righteousness and justice (and it is easy) doing the right thing on the large scale. He focuses on the grand strategy instead of short term benefits. Nevertheless because of his big heart, he will help those he likes, even when it is a bit naive: will buy the drug for Elias Keeler, will help Schnells the Gambler and will scan the keepers, even if it is against the rules. He is faithful to Liara but does flirt with anything remotely interesting.  It is only on these small side missions I doubted what do do (and this is the easiest character when it comes to chosing)
----

2) The second one is a psychologically unstable colonist that survived Akuze - the toughest (can't count all the reloads because of the choices). She does the right thing in a tough way. She will kill the Batarian Charn but will release Balak to save the hostages, whome she identifies with. She will have poor defence mechanisms and will knock out the reporter in the end of an interview for being unsensitive but will forgive those who repent and open herself up for those good or close enough. She recognizes fear as a useful weapon but will do what she believes is right. She has a tough facade to penetrate but underneath is a very fragile personality. She is Alliance to the core and completely incorruptable unlike even in the minor matters (here I really wanted to help Schnells but ended up handing the device to the manager), unlike the first character, the keeper scanning being the exception that proves the rule - the experience is too good to pass up :lol:. She uses sex (everything that moves, she likes) to come close to people but on the inside remains distant
from the most. I remember not being able to decide whether to let Fist and Helena Blake live because on one hand they needed to see the sword of justice and on the other  they could be intimidated/pistol whiped to do be set on the right track (I ended up letting them live). I remember having to reload because I didn't think the conversation sounded right, having all the options to chose from, not caring about the scores. I remember really wanting to pursue Liara love interest because I found Kaiden to whiny and boring , nevertheless, chose Kaiden sticking to the idea of a troubled girl desiring securing. The Negotiation was tough, but after hearing what "Lord" Darius said, my Shepard played along, since being used as a tool, even as Alliance to kill an old ally is not something she could do. Then there was the council: Alliance lives on one sides and the biggest ship (non-reaper) in the galaxy on the other with 10.000 aboard. (At first I let the council die, but I just couldn't do it and ended up reloading the game back and saved them, after all there would be more lives lost if the council died and my Paragade is not a xenophobe or a human supremasist) Then there was Anderson vs. Udina (decided to stick with Anderson, since exposing my back for the backstabbing Udina twice is not something an Akuze survivor could do)

---

3) The Renegade Shepard has a past on Earth and will get the job done no matter how many lives will be wasted in the process. He is the human Saren (not ME1 Saren but the Saren of the Revalation novel), he despises every other race, believing they are inferior. Power through fear and fear through power. His goals will be achieved in the shortest ways possible and when Einsten said that the closest way is not always through shortest line, he disagreed. The faster the better. He sees the galaxy a better place with the less aliens the better. Humanity as a whole is strong then everything else and he help humanity grasp all the possible power. He is brutally effective, even if in the long run this could lead to a disaster for the humanity and himself. He doubts the Alliance and respects Cerberus while supporting Terra Nova. He will kill everything if it dares stand in his way and will bow to no one. He is very fond of punishment and provides the capital punishment to the right and left. If it gives him a reason, he grabs the opportunity to act even when it comes to the lives of his own humans. He does not care about alien affairs and sees them as tools - helping the one that pays best. Everyone is expendable, he believes, and the greater "good" can tolerate evils. He values his reputation above anything else, unless it involves humans and aliens, which leads to this. My first tough decision: Finch is blackmailing him, disrespecting and pushing the wrong buttons - he crossed him but here is the trick: there is an active human xenophobe and a TURIAN is holding him back?! (I ended up helping the xenophobe, since they are human and they are held in an alien facility). On Noveria you can a) kill every single human in the facility after you trigger the neuron purge B) wait with the purge and do it after you have killed the Matriarch. (I ended up killling  everything that moved because that fitted the merciless personality).  In ME2, I ended up giving first aid kits to the Salarian - something I had to consider for a few reloads (just as Saren, the Renegade is professional and will gather the important information) but killing the Batarian (he dared foulmouth me, credits are handy, batarians are not). Another tough decision was whether to let Wrex live or die: as a tool, he is useful - but he dared cross the line ( I saved him with a heavy intimidate check, being a proffessional, just as Saren let Anderson live). Then there was Cerberus data to Shadow Broker - well, at that point the paragade did not know about his future, so I gave the data (being not particularly loayl to the Alliance and wanting the quick credits)



Well, that was it. Thanks for the OP for the topic and thanks for anyone bothering to read the wall of text, because it felt damn good to write it, so good I got carried away and shared the psychological profiles of my 3 characters.

All of these.  I have never ever let Balak go, even my most paragon of paragons can't justify letting Balak go.

I don't have a game yet where I've given TIM the Collector Base.

As well, I will most likely never have a game where I don't free David.  Or wake Legion up.  Or hatch baby Grunt.

I made a mistake the first playthrough of ME1, I didn't know Wrex could die, and when Ashley killed him she earned my eternal loathing and hate. I take joyous glee in frying her on Virmire every single time I play ME1. All of which just goes to show you how good the writing in this game is. The same person does the voice for Barbara Gordon in the Batman: Arkham Asylum game, and I still hate her, because in my mind she's still Ash. Hating someone who doesn't even exist with such a passion, so that the sound of their voice raises your hackles, that's good stuff. I'm sure I'll get over it in a few years, but not yet. Which also goes to show what a great voice actress she is.

Reading through most of the posts, I couldn't think of a moment that left me torn. But then it occured to me. Despite my many playthroughs I have not once opted to destroy the herotic Geth.
My affinity towards Geth prevents me from doing so.
I have yet to play the Overlord DLC, so I am unsure of the choices within.

Even with the knowledge that Cerberus will simply restart the project with another person if you don't?

You don't really expect them to give up on that project now, do you?
