Yep, my first playthrough I didn't lose a single person.  Mostly because when I play games I methodically do every sidequest available before tackling story quests.  Did it in ME1 as well.  So, when I went to do the derelict reaper I'd already finished like every loyalty mission but Legion's.  So, I went straight through the relay when the crew was taken.  I also followed the advice of Miranda... picked Legion as tech expert, made her fire team leader both times, used Jack as biotic, sent Mordin back (because in my brain I thought "he's a doctor so he can take care of the crew's injuries").  I took my usual squad of Thane and Garrus to take out the baby reaper and everyone got out alive.


Moira is my only Shepard who didn't "stay loyal", but that's because she believes Kaidan walked away from her and the relationship is over. To put it plainly, she's angry with him. Moira isn't very experienced with intimate relationships. She doesn't realize he was shocked and acting on his emotions.

Moira also changed quite a bit after her resurrection. She used to be less of a Renegade, but now she doesn't have any qualms about doing what is necessary to save the galaxy. She's more ruthless, colder and less patient with people who get in her way or waste her time. In essence, her and Kaidan would have most likely drifted apart... even if they were back together.

She decided it was best to move on after what happened on Horizon. In my head canon she finds out that Garrus has always had feelings for her. They grew much closer after reuniting on Omega and during the mission to stop the Collectors. Moira realized that she loved him also, and things went from there. I think she'd still want to be friends with Kaidan, but Garrus is in her heart now.

He's also the only one that sees her softer side:

Would it be ok if I posted my Shep/Liara story? I'm still writing it, but its my first ME fic....

[thompsmt]

Throw it on your blog here, and add a link. That's how most people do it here.

[Suspire]

Late reply is late but I wanted to thank Sable, AkodoRyu and Captain Crash for the comments on the Miss Universe pic, thank you so much =)

I only posted the link cause... I'm shy XD



I noticed some Sheps who used to be paragon and in ME2 are more renegade, what do you guys think their path will be in ME3? Mine keeps getting more paragon, I imagine her as more renegade when young back on Earth trying to get by, and some time after Akuze being more paragon... being able to overcome her hurt, almost zen-like. But some paragon/renegade choices seem a bit mixed up in ME2 imo.

She understands Garrus, having been angry at the world before, and tries to heal him, to show him happiness.

She's been with Liara but never loved her like that.

I don't handle evil decisions and angst very well, so I have a problem going full renegade *feels sorry for the fictional people* One day maybe.

/stuff no one wants to read

[Cypher0020]

Charlie's a paragade, sweet but not stupid.. living on Earth does that to you, and surviving Elysium....



She'll probably be a bit more renegade, but not totally by ME3.... the galaxy is at stake, and she knows the Council/Citadel is waaaaay behind to pick up the defense line....



there's no room for error now

[Cyansomnia]

I see Moira getting more Renegade, but only in doing what she thinks is necessary. She's not xenophobic and doesn't hate aliens (she's with Garrus, obviously). I avoid those responses with her.

She didn't sacrifice the Council in ME1 because she thinks humans should be dominant. She did it because she believed wasting reinforcements on saving the Destiny Ascension would be a mistake. Moira was actually quite pissed at Udina for filling the empty spots with all humans and made Anderson head councilor because she trusts him and thinks he'll make the best of it.

Same with the Collector base. She got in a tiff with the Illusive Man over it, and told him he better use it to save the galaxy and not for his own interests.  If he pisses her off, you better believe she'll come after him.

Holly will sally forth in her usual Paragon manner.

I like the picture, as well. Sorry for not saying anything...but it's awesome!

With the paragon to renegade....none of mine really. My next playthrough is going to be paragade then renegon, though.

[Cyansomnia]

@Suspire

I also wanted to say that I loved your art. It's so well done and made me smile when I saw it. You should be proud!

@Suspire

Well, i've got a few Shepards; my current Shepard will likely continue being a 'polite' renegade and a pragmatist. I try to play her as somewhat of a sociopath. She's an Earthborn/War Hero build, and tends to be a pretty awful person sometimes. I figure she lost her conscience somewhere between being born and joining up. Will likely let the council die because saving the Destiny Ascension would be a waste of lives in her book. She'll definitely keep the base and stay loyal to Cerberus until she sees a chance to off TIM and take it over in ME3, though.



My canon femshep, Natalya, has been a paragade since ME, but she got quite a bit more renegade points than paragon by the end of ME2, despite blowing the base. Had enough paragon points to break up Tali and Legion, though, so all's good. She could go either way in ME3. Still got her ideals, although she and Garrus do tend to egg eachother on in the renegade department.



(I'd also like to agree with Aislinn Trista-- Miss Universe is a damn fine piece of art! Stumbled across it on devart the other day saved it to my ME folder right away. :Db )

[Suspire]

@Aislinn I like that attitude. I thought those renegade decisions were most logical. After I found out how many people were on the Destiny Ascension and seen TIM's troll face however I cowardly changed my mind on what to do Since I only have one Shep I decided to make her a means-don't-justify-the-end type, but it would be interesting to se that backfiring once in a while instead.



@tsuntsunderedere: You current Shepard sounds like a very interesting character... I'm curious!



And thank you guys! =) I still itch to touch it up but that could go on forever, lol ><

[Hedera]

On the subject of Paragon to Renegade, I initially used masseffectsaves.com because I didn't have ME1, so Sam didn't really exist prior to her resurrection 

I feel like the general trend is a result of the whole dying thing, as well as working for Cerberus.  Despite that, I think the Renegon I'm currently bringing through ME1 may actually become more Paragon in ME2.  


Or not...

[Suspire]

Oh yeah, on my first playthrough of ME2, I really thought lots of renegade options were more logical, including siding with Cerberus... I mean they're the only ones doing something to fight the Reapers!

Replaying ME1 now... well you really get why Cerberus is so shady when you play it. I had forgotten how bad all the things they did were before replaying it.

[Cyansomnia]

@Suspire

I'm anxious to see how Moira's story will play out in ME3. I have a feeling there are going to be some really good dramatic moments for her. I'm hoping for a face off with the Illusive Man at some point. It would be great to see how that plays out with all my different Sheps.

This sounds almost EXACTLY like Evie.  She's with Garrus as well, so no xenophobia there, adn she had the same reactions about the Council and the Collector Base.

TIM's smug face always makes me think "wh-...whoops", but it's quite possible he's just pretty happy youmanatee has more of a chance and smiles like Shepard--creepily.

  Thank you!   I'm probably having the most fun i've ever had roleplaying through ME since my first or second run. She's the only female Shepard i've actually thought through prior to starting ME , which is probably why i'm fond of her. I'm quite keen to maybe do a LotSB-style dossier on her when i'm done with the second game. The whole idea for her came up when I was derping around coming up with AU situations for my my canon mshep, and thought what if Shepard was a Cerberus agent from the very beginning, maybe recruited whilst Cerberus and the Alliance were still essentially on the same team? And then I wanted to do a run like that and eventually came up with Jiu.



Essentially she's polite and 'diplomatic' to a degree, but in all honesty, she's cold as ice and has a weird, clinical fascination with manipulating people. She's currently killing time toying with Kaidan between missions, and renegaded him when it came up. Not sure where that particular relationship will go in ME3 or any Alliance DLC, lol. She's also bringing out the worst in Garrus. She'll totally go for Joker if it ever comes up in ME3, though. Possibly because he's the only person she even kinda-trusts apart from Tali and Garrus, isn't very dependant at all personality-wise and he hasn't assumed she's flirting with him because she's popped over to talk to him more than twice. Also, dat scruffy beard and Seth Green voice.
Oh ho, that turned into an epic drone.
 (gonna really enjoy colour-coding her armour into Cerberus colours in ME2 as well~)

Impressive.
For fireteam leader I picked Miranda as well, but as a second choice I considered Mordin .
I played ME2 first, so Garrus it was "meh" and completely overlooked him as a choice. Jacob. I dont remember what I thought abut the guy.
I figured Mordin, with his military background on STG he might be a good leader. The suicide mission it's not a wide scale assault, more like "surgical strikes" sort of thing. 
Thankfully, I went for the safe bet. Otherwise, I would have watched Tai die

Haha, Lia is quite like them both then.

Just posted this image in another thread, but noticed this one and knew it really needed to be here with the rest of the FemSheps.  I'm really enjoying playing through ME2 on my first go with a female Shepard.  I'm also playing through DAO with a female as well (see my avatar portrait).  Glad to see there's a bunch more female character fans out there!

[Bourne Endeavor]

I return! Been venturing off a bit and have not felt the ME2 pull this week. One of those downer earlier days. I have another Femshep concept I might get cracking on. Intending to build a story arc for a Thane romance. The partial mutual guilt between him and this new Femshep seems an appropriate for a building block. In addition, I have been contemplating if I ought to flip Keira to an Adept. The "Biotic Powerhouse" seems better affixed to that than a Vanguard. Hmm...

I have been wanting to do this for a while for the sole purpose of hearing his dialogue. It is unavailable on Youtube. Eventually I will do an actual suicide run and kill everyone. I am also severely tempted to run an ultimate evil/Jerk Shepard (Even Renegade is helpful) where the only survivors are Morinth and another murderous party member.

Oh and Cheez. I have to ask, from a roleplay perspective. Just how frequently is Hotwings subjected to mockery for the epic name? Sure, it may be signing your death warrant but I have to imagine at least someone would. Perhaps a Krogan has the balls. Least he could spare a few, xD.

I have a LI-related question.

Has anyone's FemShep "cheated" on their ME1 LI, yet you intend to try and get back with them in ME3 (or in the LotSB DLC or the undeniable upcoming Alliance DLC!  Hope you're listening, Bioware)[/quote]

Huh, no not until you mentioned had I given it much consideration. Therefore, I must create a Shepard for this purpose! You now have added to my Shepard list. How am I ever to get away from this game now?!

Question of my own. Have any of you created a Shepard who ultimately agrees with Cerberus in some capacity or perhaps even likes TIM? The inevitable follow up being would they stick with Cerberus and renounce ties to the Alliance and Council?

Oooh manipulative. Bwahahah renegading Kaidan! I like her! It would be interesting to know how she handles Cerberus in ME3, do tell us when it happens. And It's nice to see I'm not the only one who makes a different character from AU-ing another XD
I can't bear renegading Garrus though. He's my ultimate weakness 
The cool thing about ME is that you can still do the quests no matter your alignment, whereas in some games you have to help people to get any xp, etc and if you don't want to be a hero you don't get to do the quest. (like in Fallout 3)
So I've contemplated trying a full renegade Shep but really... I know I'd fail when it comes to Garrus. What did Bioware do to me?
And yes, Joker for LI

[Cyansomnia]

@Bourne

I'm actually contemplating making a 7th FemShep...maybe. She'll be pro-cerberus and a xenophobe. And even more renegade than Moira. Still contemplating her appearance. I don't know if I'd enjoy playing that sort of character, though. We shall see.

Yeah, I didn't know about the shower till I romanced Garrus with Aislinn. Then I ran off to go look at the bathroom I had no idea was there.

Now that you mention it, I was thinking of making one. I'd name him/her (haven't decided on the gender yet) Hades Shepard (painfully obvious reference name) and they'd end up taking over Cerberus. They'd name Udina to the multi species council, take all the friendly lines with TIM, and of course give him the collector base (I do that with my canon anyway) and ultimately usurp TIM's position at the top of Cerberus.
