 Personally I find the Paragon playthroughs to be unrealistic and downright insulting to my intelligence. 

Why not play a mix of the two? Be nice when it's appropriate and mean when it's appropriate.

Well yeah, that's usually what I do. It seems to lead to the most realistic and natural outcomes, I think.

This is so interesting. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had people like your grandpa to talk to.

Who doesn't enjoy the good guy who always does everything right and saves everyone and always gets the best possible outcome from even the most impossible situations? Paragon Shep is basically Superman.

Except Superman is real.... Superman was / is every leader who lead their men in war with competence, grace and compassion for their men. It's no coincidence those are the fighting men who won those wars, because they were spurred by good leadership to fight hard enough to win it.

The "bad guys" were the tyrants who lead their men, whipped them like dogs and treated them like expendable ammunition.... these men only cared about survival - living to see another day... they had no reason to care about victory and only to pray to live to see home... nobody wants to fight if their leader doesn't care they're alive and just as likely to shoot them for insubordination as they are to order them to run into a hail of bullets.

Superman is a comic book character.

Superman is just a manifestation what it means to be a hero... you don't need comic books to find heroes... any hero can be called a "superman" (or "superwoman")... the comic book character doesn't hold a monopoly on the term

Except I am specifically referring to Superman the comic book character as representing a juvenile world view where such nonsense heroics are not only possible, but commonplace. Personally I find the Paragon playthroughs to be unrealistic and downright insulting to my intelligence. 

It's a good thing Superman isn't like that anymore, then.

Your grandpa is a pretty cool guy, OP.

Excellent Story Bro! T.T Brings tears to my eyes!

[Sailears]

I enjoyed reading that. Certainly broadens the awareness.

[joriandrake]

Be proud of your grandpa, he is a cool man considering his age.

[Angel-Shinkiro]

That was........... brilliant. Bloody Brilliant! Your gtandpa is a cool man.

[joriandrake]

I myself also wondered often why none of the renegade Shepard's team shot him in the back yet, it doesn't seem to be plausible for letting that "hero" walk around without a negative backslash

LOL! I thought about that too. Its fine if you want to be a POS to people you don't lead but i do find myself surprised that Tali, Thane, etc never gave my renegade an "accidental" shot in the back . It was good to see Samara talking about killing me though, i would kill me if i was following my renegade

Really cool post Hathur. Thanks for putting it up here and letting me read it. Your Gramps sounds like an awesome man.



P.S

How do you get access to all the Mass Effect vids? I'd like to do some editing with them myself.

Heh, the hard way.. I play the game, record it with a program called FRAPS, using VirtualDub to edit / compress the files.. it's a lot of work, but I find it fun... like a personal log of my journeys through Mass Effect.

Awesome story. Your gramps sounds like a cool guy. Makes me wonder if he noticed any difference in ME2 renegade from ME1. I always hated playing ren in 1 cause shep just seemed too much like an ahole. ME2 renegade just comes across as a pragmatist and not so much a ******

[aeetos21]

And bookmarked! Tell your grandpa Merry Christmas and that we're all waiting for the next installment as eagerly as him. And as always, I thank him for his service.

[Bigdoser]

Can I meet your grandpa? He sounds awesome. Its quite funny that a war vet would consider paragon shep a very good leader while some people on this board call paragon shep stupid. Anyway people have different prespectives.

Very cool. I like to play as Renegade Shep because he is sooo far removed from how I am in real life, so I like to see how bad someone can be before they lose people. Tell your grandpa thank you.

[Bigdoser]

Yeah say thanks to your grandpa for sharing that story that pushed me to make another paragon shep run XD

[eldav]

This post made my day, thanks for sharing.

I often feel that the older generation that went trough war is more humane than their grandchildren.

This.

Also... I have to learn how use FRAPS and mount videos... so I'll make my own ME movies/serial having them with me the day I won't have anymore time for games (IF that will happen). Thanks for sharing this was really interesting ^^

[Homey C-Dawg]

Your grandpa sounds like a cool dude. I love old war stories.

And I agree, as entertaining as renegade Shepard is to watch, in a real war he would probably get shot by an ally before he would by an enemy.

[Bigdoser]

What about a renegade shepard that does not treat his squad like crap?

[neoxus299]

Cool Grampa!



That's why I always play as Paragon, don't like the Renegade at al

I prefer paragon but I feel bioware did not do renegade properly imo.
