i have many sheps, at least a fwe resemble me, and a few made choices that i would make
but when they first talked about how the decisions would carry throughout the trilogy i started playing different sheps with different decisions, have a 'canon' shep according to MEwiki
toughest thing for me to do was to kill wrex and the rachni in my extreme renegade shep...
How many people play as themselves?

My Canon Playthrough is How I am. I and more Paragon than Renegade perse. Meaning I do make some Renegade choices, but as a General Rule I am The Nice Guy. a 75% Paragon to 25% Renegade split.

I'd say I have a range of options based on me. Anything that falls outside of that range either sounds too naive or too mean and I can't seem to make myself pick that option. So while I sometimes might play a character as me, other times I don't but I can;t stray too far from what me is.

Other than randomly punching as many people as I can in mid-conversation I suppose my other decisions are similar to what I would do in real life.

Ironically renegade playthroughs tend to be how I actually see things. Though most characters I create are based on my own persona.

My first playthroughs of games are on gut instinct, initial reactions - so yes as 'myself', later playthroughs will look at different outcomes, in some instances the type of character I might 'aspire' to be rather than who I am. This is why people create different Shepards, to see how decisions you make in game will play out.

My character's avatar does not portray my face, but the choices I make are based upon what I would do (Given the options available.) For example, I did not pursue a LI in ME1 because I felt that the two available, for ManShep, were better suited as good friends. If ME2 however I pursued Tali because I liked her character from the start of the series, and the other two LIs I really did not like at all. For me I believe the Paragon choices provided greatly represented how I would actually react to whatever situation it applied to, at least most of the time.

I have mixed alignment and make no choice if it's not what I'd do.

Alot of people seem to either go renegade or paragon just because they can, I want to know how many of you have a mixed alignment and choose based on what YOU would do?
honestly all jokes aside. i do what i like to call the bi-polar run. ill start off paragon but just for random reasons ill choose to go renegade. thats how i am as a person ( not bi-polar)

The first time I played as myself, or tried to, I ended up choosing the neutral choices all the time. I had no idea how the top/bottom=paragon/renegade thing worked as it was my first time playing the ME series, so I had essentially all moral choices shaded out post-Horizon. Kinda sucked.
I will replay a 'what would I do' shepard eventually though. Probably a very even mix, possibly more paragon than renegade.

I'm a female, my Shep's a male...created eye candy for me to gaze upon and no visual similarities to me what so ever. As for his alignment though, yup, play with my own views at the fore...tried a renegade run, didn't finish it, hated it...so sue me, I feel wrong abusing pixels also :-)

My canonical Shepard (basically the first playthrough) is "myself" in the sense that I do what I feel is right, without any foreknowledge of what the actual outcome will be. He uses both the default appearance and name, however.

No, never, I do not do this thing, I play video games to be other people who do more interesting things than play video games.

in the first game i played myself once doesnt work to well in ME2 because it punishes you for not choosing paragon or renegade, but it was about 70% paragon and 30% renegade,

Most my Sheps are mixed alignment. I dislike plying full paragon or renegade.
However I don’t play as myself. The first time I just kinda went thru picking whatever I happened to feel like picking but all other play through I pick things based on what I have decided that Shpeard would think. Naturally some of my own morality and ways of thinking bleeds thru but all my Sheps make some decisions and do things I don’t think I would do based on their background and personalitys. I usually don’t play myself in an RPG, I find it more fun to make a separate character. I don’t act anything like Shepard anyway, paragon or renegade.
....
Yes I have too much time on my hands

First playthrough of ME1, definitely myself.Mostly paragon, a few renegade descisions her or there. For example I killed the Rachni queen since as far as I was concerned, it was bringing a rather large unknown variable into the universe. There were no Rachni before they bred her, and now there would be none after this event.
Upon transfer though I discovered that interrupt actions both Paragon and Renegade are ALL too fun not to do. So I did everyone I could. This led to a slightly darker me I guess, but still mostly Paragon.
2nd character I roleplayed as a tough-as-nails fem commander who would never allow innocent death. Meaning ALL renegade all the time, unless civilian/innocent lives are at stake, and the paragon choice saves them. It meant a character that always did the "right" thing when it came down to it, but wasn't afraid of getting her hands dirty the other 75% of the time.
I actually quite like that character. I also did my best to make her look rather different from most fem sheps, and she does.

I think I'm a pretty nice guy, I believe that all things deserve to be free and violence should be a last resort option But I'm a bit of a smart @ss So I think I have a better sense of humor then my Commander shepard.

I can't really bring myself to play a Renegade, I'm too much of a softy.
Tbh I tend to play all of my Shepards pretty much alike, which is mostly Paragon although I hardly ever back down from some smackdown interrupt when it concerns mercs or anything pointing a gun at my face or threatening me.
And that's exactly where the comparison with myself ends... I'm not the heroic type and would probably always try to talk or move myself out of a precarious situation instead of Charge in guns blazing.
I always start a new ME with my first character. He's far from perfect, but not influenced by my knowledge of the game and outcomes of decisions. So he's the most "pure" imho.

I am a nice guy but I also have a very ruthless attitude that when it comes to getting the job done I get it done no matter what it takes. I have no love or need for my enemies. so yeah My Shepard is one ruthless guy who has those ones he cares for and he has a list of enemies he wants to crush

Yes, my cannon Shep is modeled after myself and I do everything that I would think is the right thing to do. I find it hard to play any other way.

I always glitch the paragon/renegade wheel some what (ME1&2), so that i can play the character based on their background/service history and not based on some metagame limiter. It's fun playing the part of the director.

I never try to make my Sheps look like me (I usually choose FemShep), but I like to do playthroughs where I choose options that I would choose in real life. I do Paragon/Renegade playthroughs as well, for a bit of variety, but I hate to make decisions that I don't want to make, such as leaving the refinery workers to die in Zaeed's mission simply because I'm playing Renegade.
