I reviewed the screenshots of an old ME1 game that was mostly paragon. Key phrases I kept seeing over and over were:

"Shooting people isn't always the answer."
"Don't lose our humanity in the process of fighting for humanity."
"Rules are there for a reason."
"Get the job done right, not fast."
"Here to uphold the law, not break it."
"Let the council decide ..."
"Just because we can break rules doesn't mean we should."

With that in mind, how would a Shepard like that handle the Tali trial? Use the paragon/renegade choice to inflame passions and get Tali off the hook, let Tali lie to her superiors about her father and be happily exiled, or turn in the evidence to the court and let chips fall where it may, even if it means anger from Tali? Just pondering whether to go paragon or strictly-by-the-rule-book in this scenario.

I think I may make a photoshop with my current Shep herd.

My up-to-date Shep list (and their mances)

Holly - Thane
Trista - Kaidan
Moira - Kaidan in ME1/Garrus in ME2
Constance - Liara
Erin - Single (changed)
Mac - Kaidan (may be changed later)
Faith - Single
River - Single
Aislinn - Garrus
Alex - Jacob

Gah... and here I was mildly shocked when I realized I had seven Femsheps, two of which didn't have that "falling down" screenshot alas.

Not at all. Artemis doesn't hate Batarians. She does, however, hate slavers, Batarian or not. So, in ME1 in the Bring Down the Sky DLC, while she could have talked her way out of that situation, the moment they mentioned they were just on a slave-grab, she opened fire.

That's pretty much my Paragon response. "Oooo... what should you have not said just now?" *BLAM*

Depends how you define "hate".  My canon paragon, Sadie, knows that she has knee-jerk racist reactions to batarians and tries not to give in to those feelings or let them color her decisions, especially after BDtS (in which they very much did).  She knows her personal feelings got in the way of that mission (feelings: KILL ALL THE THINGS).  So in ME2, she's willing to suck it up and heal the sick batarian, etc.

That sort of leads me to a question.  For those who RP their Shepards, do you ever give them flaws that impact the game?  Jaime hates Batarians (she's a colonist) so she is very likely not to help the dying Batarian in Omega, even though she's a paragon. 

Toombs....

Nope.  UJ (a colonist) does not hate Batarians. She seems them as any other species, "saints and jerks." 

Slavers, Batarian or not, die.

It still depends on her character, Colly as a Renegon, she is very strong  on self-control even making decision she does like. As for Velina, she slipped for a few time to let her lesser part to take over the action; for example, That mercs on Dantuis Tower, she let herself to vent her anger becasue of what just happened on Horizon. She did regrets afterward but what is done can not be undone, she will have to live with it.

Just added another modding into the locker and Ming looks good in it ^^

Thanks to ElE's texmod, Ming is a nice light armor

Not at all. Jennelyn hated the batarians for a time but eventually came to terms with it. I imagine the hate is still there to some strong degree, but not strong enough to influence her decisions.


As for hang-ups. Hmm...

I don't know if you'd call this a flaw, but for Jennelyn (Colonist/Sole Survivor) it's the "keep deaths to a minimum" philosophy. She has issues with dead people after Mindoir and Akuze. xP In most occasions if the person she encounters doesn't pose as an immediate threat she won't shoot, no matter how heinous the criminal, and basically won't shoot unless shot at.

It's the opposite for Jennica (Colonist/Ruthless). While Jennelyn gives people the benefit of the doubt, Jennica prefers to nip the problem at the bud. A "shoot before it gets worse" philosophy. That plus as an especially biased opinion regarding the batarians. I still haven't discovered whether she gets over the batarians or not at some point, will have to go on a full run to find out. xD

So with the Shepards I have now, it's an action versus inaction kind of thing. Both have their pros and cons.

Absolutely! My Shepard has quite the temper. (She is Irish, after all. ) After Horizon, she went nearly full Renegade for about five missions - reckless, killing anyone in her way. She didn't calm down until a non-canon event (my explanation for her new biotic abilities) gave her some understanding as to why Kaidan left. Then she went back to her very-Paragon-except-on-PMS-days ways.

She also takes every single failure very, very hard. Virmire and Arrival in particular really crushed her spirit. She holds herself to a ridiculously high standard and when she fails, she takes it too personally.

Oh, and she hates politicians. Like...more than even the game will let you. She'd have punched Udina repeatedly if given the opportunity. Maybe even actually shot him.

That's actually why I like the Batarians as both antagonists and protagnists.  Seven out of nine Shepard's have backgrounds invloving Batarians and Shep has to deal with them in some capacity.  And you can have the character grow, like Sadie ... or not.  That's also why I love BDtS so much.  It adds another layer to Shepard, especially colonist Shep.  During my last playthrough w/ Jaime, I hit on the dialogue where she mentions what happened on Mindoir.  I had forgotten about that.

Well, if you're going to make a vampy femShep, don't half ass it I say.

Zody has a several flaws that effect how she acts in game. Her parents called her Princess when she was a little girl. When Harkin calls her that she goes from diplomatic paragon to wanting to knock his teeth out. She also has a major issue with slavery and has zero tolerance for slavers. She would also die for colonists since she was one and would do anything to keep from what happened to her to someone else.

Also more awkard Dakota!!

Dakota is full of great facial expressions, those pictures just make me like her more and more. Did she want to be an actress by any chance?

Sarah got a very strong hatred for Batarians, in most cases when she meet a Batarian it's a soon to be dead one. She do however save the sick one on Omega just because she need more information to find Mordin. Slavers however will forever be dead when they're in her sights. Sarah is also quite arrogant and knows that she's the best of the best and often seems very cold to other people. She also got alot of anger inside her so she sometimes easily fall into that trap and things can get nasty and she might fail people she don't want to, mostly innocents. She also got trust issues and what happens in ME2 don't really make them go away. She do her best to always save the innocents but what she has seen it has given her a ruthless side aswell and after Horizon she's quite ruthless for a while until she get hold of herself again.

Don't mention it, it is nothing really

Do you feel that there are too much patterns on the visor which somehow block the eyes?

[Ottemis]

Not yet =P I might take em off Raine at some point, but I defo pref these over the one-eyed visor seeing this one's actually positioned right. Was thinking about which character would get them permanently still, gonna try it out on a couple of them and see what's what.

Ohhh flaws are fun!

Linnea (my uber paragon) is a colonist. It took her a while to get over her hate, most of which was aimed at batarians in general. But, she's over it. Mostly... She's also a total dork. I mean like really cheesy. She's also pretty cute, so I try to avoid any situations where she has to intimidate anyone. It's harder than you'd think to NOT come across as badass.


Seris (my paragade) is a spacer and a war hero. She thinks she's hilarious. (Ok, she's actually pretty funny, but don't tell her that cause it'll go straight to her head). Hopefully we'll have a few more options for amusing lines in ME3.

I'm completely reimagining my renegade, so I'm not sure about her name and background. I'm planning on making her one of those people that you keep rooting for, but they always manage to do and say the wrong thing. She'll be likable, but still manage to either not give a f*ck, or try to do the right thing and fail.

Also, for funsies, Pirate Shep! Arrrrggg!

Well, let's see...

Jane (unlike John) knew about batarians due to her Spacer background, but in BDtS she shot the ones who admitted to being slavers (because it was expedient, and it felt like another Torfan situation brewing), and later killed the terrorists at the expense of the three civilian lives. That's her Ruthless background coming into play there. Since Torfan, but cemented by X.57 she's had it in for the 'squints' and will go out of her way to antagonize them to provoke violence. She Renegade threatened the ones outside Afterlife (and was dissapointed when they turned tail), used "You work too hard" on Cathka, was a little slow to medi-gel the sick one and shot the ones holding the doctor hostage, and forced the bartender to drink.

Her other blind spot is Quarians in general. Not Tali, because she expects more from her, but she has a soft spot for them when on pilgrimege.

A real conundrum for her would be an "if BDtS had had quarians in the cell with the bomb" type of scenario.

Her other flaw is that she feels that "Butcher of Torfan" is something her mother is secretly dissapointed in. She is therefore a little too fatalistic at times, possibly being aggresive as a defence mechanism of sorts. That's why she is so comfrotable around Zaeed, because it never really goes deeper than swapping war stories.

Guess I'll share a pic of my femshep, me being a big femshep fan and all



Shes mostly paragon with the odd renegade choice, like blowing up the geth, or here where she's just punched a salarian in the gut. Dont go waving them guns when femshep is around

Edit: Think I have to start looking at some mods. Some awesome outfits in the pics on this thread...

Amalia doesn't necessarily hate the batarians. She didn't mind helping the wounded one on Omega. To her, she sees them like she would see any other human: There are good guys and there are bad guys. The bad guys (or anyone who is just being a jerk), no matter the species, will have their ass kicked by her.... even though she's mostly paragon XDDDD
