When Renegades are doing what they do and are not expecting consequences for those actions, they're just fooling themselves.

But until I've seen more of ME3, I won't count any side as "unable to win".

  




every action has reacion but what was said in GI article seems like Bioware has clearly chosen a side and has no respect us renegade fans

Yeah, "seems"...to you. You don't know; you're just assuming and then getting mad at them for what you've concocted in your own mind.

I think you have misunderstood My point. Choice has to mean something no matter the reactions to said choices and its real clear that Bioware either does not give a dam about renegade players choices in ME 2 . Or they are not willing to discuss what is different for us renegade players in 3. You dam right I am pissed off at them.  Because the whole paragon and renegade choice system is a big joke after reading the GI article.  I want them to explain to me what us renegade players will get out of ME 3. Its clear that paragon and anti Cerberus fans got their wishes granted in 3.

ExtremeOne your getting all worked up over a game that at the moment is months away from release and that we have only been given snippet of information about, we know virtually nothing about ME3 so why get all mad and angry? your only showing yourself up and making yourself look the fool.

The "choices" haven't been shown to make a lick of difference besides comestic in two full games. It's more than enough reason to be concerned about the third entry.

This is stark contrast to a game like DA:O were within a sole title there's entire alternate missions and alliances you can make based on player choice.

I have faith that Bioware will make a really enjoyable game for both paragon and renegade players. Let's not all get our noses out of joint about this.

That It'd be enjoyable has never been in dispute, now whether we'd finally see our "choices" come into full fruition however has been.

Concerned yes. Acting like this is a certainly no. I was disappointed in the lack of difference you choices seem to make in ME2 but it has to import into ME3. That’s probably why they had to make it fairly linear. ME3 does not have to import into anything. They don’t have to worry about screwing themselves further down the line. Hopefully that will mean we will see more of a branching plot based on previous choices.

The illusive man is after Sheprad and we don’t know why. We will probably have to wait for the game to be released to find out. Allot of people complained about spoilers in biowares marketing before so they probably aren’t going to give as any more than vague hints about where the plot goes after the trial and what the choices will result in. Cerberus being an enemy does not automatically mean the renegades are going to get screwed over and the paragons are getting favoured. The collector base was not the only decision in the games, many choices could potentially go either way and you may still even get something useful out of the base. We don’t know yet.

I was a renegade that destroyed the base. Why? because it seemed like a bad idea to keep it. If you want something to bite you in the ass later on, keep it. Thats why the council is gone, the rachni, shiala, and well any thing else I thought could bite back if I kept it around. But just because Cerberus is after us doesnt mean that keeping the base will still be bad. We dont know the story, stop jumping to conclusions.

Just to make a point, imagine if it had been the Reapers and not the rachni that had nearly wiped out all life in the galaxy 2,000 years prior to the start of Mass Effect, and somehow the Council races had miraculously managed to resist them and win the war. Spectre Shepard then comes along two millenia later and finds the last surviving Reaper having been uncovered and brought to Noveria for study. It tells Shepard that it's totally not like all those other Reapers and pinky-swears via an indoctrinated scientist that it won't try to destroy the galaxy; it'll just go off, build a few more Reapers and peacefully coexist with the Council races.

Would you trust it? Would you pity it? Would you release it? Would that have been a good idea?

I suspect most would destroy it. The Reapers are an obvious threat after all. But somehow the rachni aren't despite having done almost exactly what the Reapers are trying to do now 2,000 years ago?


That depends - can the Reapers sing like the Rachni Queen?! I suspect that they can't even carry a tune or at the very  least resort to the dreaded auto-tune...:P


But Reapers can sing    Image IPB

Also it isn't a fair example. If the Reaper were under the control of someone else than they wouldn't be responsible for what happened and if the Rachni were under the control of the Reapers when they started attacking than what they didn't isn't their fault either and they shouldn't be condemed to death for the sins of someone else.


But, again, the only evidence Shepard has to support this is the queen's word. And might I point out that the queen kind of has a vested interest in ensuring that you don't give her an acid bath?


One has to ask the logical question of if the Rachni are lying about wanting to help Shepard and lying about the Reapers being behind the first Rachni War than why go out of your way to find him in the first place? He's going to have his hands full with the Reapers its not like he's going to go out of his way to try and find the Rachni.

The Queen put herself out in front of Shepard I find it hard to believe that she did this only to turn on Shepard.


You're applying foresight gleaned from ME2 to the decision made in ME1. It may very well ultimately be revealed in ME3 that sparing the Rachni Queen was the "correct" choice, but that's arguing after the fact. Shepard at the time would have no way of verifying any of the Queen's claims and EVERY reason to simply exterminate her on the spot.

All it comes down to is whether or not your Shepard would TRUST the Rachni Queen. There's really nothing else to the choice but that.

Hypothetical ME3 situation:  

Shepard gives the base to Cerberus.  TIM uses it for the purpose for which he oringally intended, ie stopping the Reapers.  Cerberus' corporate backers try to use it for selfish purposes, but TIM refuses.  Qeue Cerberus civil war.  The rebel Cerberus tries to kill Shepard before TIM can contact him, misunderstandings and hilarity ensue.  Solving their little dispute nets renegade players Cerberus commandos and warships for the big final battle, while the paragon players accuse them of all being bad, take everyone down, and get no help from any of them.

Morinth on the other hand is the emobdiment of chaos and death.  You say she's only a danger if Shep 'sleeps' with her, but the rest of Shep's crew isn't as strong willed as Shep.  Heck, depending on how you play it even Shep almost falls prey to Morinth if weren't for Samara.  Morinth's sociopathic tendancies and no concern for right/wrong makes her far more dangerous IMO.  

The only way I see it being renegade rather then evil or insane  is that Morinth is not hindered by any code.  She's not tied down by what a Renegade Shep would percieve as antiquated and bothersome rules. If some civilans are killed in the process of going after the Collectors' - Morinth isn't going to have an issue with that.  Morinth doesn't care who she kills and that may be dangerous but it's less complicated and political then Samara's Code and that's why it would be Renegade from an RP point of view.  

I actually think you can't recruit Morinth unless you were able to resist all levels of her domination,  so that isn't an issue. And honestly I thought Morinth would end up causing less harm than Samara in the long run because I could keep her in line easily enough in regards to my crew, and in her entire life, she has probably killed less people than Samara probably did by interfering with Nihlus over that ridiculous code.

Feros isn't in the PS3 comic thing so I doubt it'll have any major impact in ME3.


Casey Hudson has said that people who don't play ME1 and 2 will not have access to all content. There are perks to playing the previous titles.

I could see how a Renegade would crash Tuchanka into a Mass Relay to kill all Reaper life as we know it, and how a Paragon would puss out on that and let everyone die lol

I will prove the Renegade sacrifices the "now" for the later "greater good".
Direct Renegade quote. ": Drink it! Or I will blind you one eye at a time.:"

Yes
this is the Renegade thinking beyond the here and now. The Renegade
would enjoy and have a wonderful time blinding the Batarian "one eye at a
time",but wouldn't get the great benefit of watching the Batarian drink
it's own poison. Sacrificing the "here and now" for the "Greater Good."
Awesome.!.

I
thought the Renegade was suppose to be a bad*ss character. But that
can't be true with all of these Renegades crying on these forums. I just
don't get it...

Paragon vs Renagade comes down to carrot vs. stick. You don't need to be antisocial little ass to be a renegade. Ultimately it's just the school of thought that says "ends justify means". 


Fair point.  I just find it odd that renegade players get so bent out of shape about potential consequences for their actions.  I prefer paragon, and I always just assume that at some point some of Shepard's decisions will come back to haunt him, like letting Rana Thanoptis go free twice.





Personally i told her to get lost because I found wrex's reaction amusing. I remeber encounterring her again the second time and was infuriated to find that even if you choose renegade dialogue you can't kill her. Was  I the only one who was ramming my head into the wall over that bit? :huh:

The way I see "win" is that completing the game with all the benefits, shiny treasures and everyone alive. Renegades just complete the game without as many of the rewards as the Paragons get. Renegades are generally perceived as the "bad guy", in that there is no real bad guy since either way you save the galaxy, something bad guys aren't known for doing, but the "bad guy" isn't supposed to profit from his misdeeds.

So while they may not win the game, they can complete it.

For all we know, renegades could end up saving humanity with all other races wiped out or essentially wiped out, which at least some renegades would likely consider a great victory.

I guess what I am saying is that we don't all have the same definitions of 'best outcome.'

honestly its all up to the writers in how they wanna play this, I mean most of the renegade actions aren't really all that extreme. I think really what is going to happen is have different epiloges for all the different story combinations. And im sure there are a few that you end up exiled or something.

Its hard to say really how they are going to add everything up. Cause in reality it could be just minor stuff or it could be major. With other Bioware games so far everything has been minor. No real story changes.

Being that both are heroes, the "best" outcome would be a scenario where the most lives are saved at the least cost (as a major example).

You could personally like a "worse" ending, but that doesn't keep it from not being the "best" ending.

Here's a hard example:
One thing you could argue is what if Paragons save the galaxy but lose humanity as a species while the Renegades lose all other races even.. but humanity survives. Technically, Paragons have the better ending (with more lives saved) but some may personally prefer that Humanity pulls through.

You are using a paragon definition of 'best.' Given that, it is not surprising you insist that the paragon result is best. Renegades tend to be pickier as to who they want to survive, for instance, an ending where humanity is strongest, or where Shepard ends up in the best situation personally.

The example you are using is a good one.

The thing is, Shepard is not neccessarily purely a hero. Renegades are usually better defined as 'anti-heroes.'

As I said, it is you picking premises that suit your arguement.
