I certainly agree that the option to have your Shepard show emotional fatigue (to a degree) would be welcome... at least down the paragon path, as that Shepard is the one that copes with her / his conscience - worries about doing the "right" thing and is an empathetic, compassionate person.
The renegade suffering from emotional fatigue likely wouldn't make as much sense since the character shows a near psychotic level of resolve and determination... he or she likely isn't emotionally burdened by the death and plight of others.. Renegade shep is a very goal-oriented person and wouldn't give two squirts over other people's problems and suffering.. so it wouldn't make too much sense for her / him to suffer much on an emotional level... about the only emotion I expect from a pure Renegade Shep is anger, frustration, impatience, insolence, determination.... not a person burdened with empathy or compassion like paragon Shep would be.
I dunno, my renegade Shepard is a pretty compassionate guy to non-enemies. Technically he's a renegade but he has a soft heart too so it wouldn't be out of character for him to show a little empathy to a child, particularly since this particular Shepard was an Earthborn and knows how it feels to grow up alone.
You're describing a Paragade... I said Renegade (meaning almost pure Renegade choices / actions). A "proper" / full renegade Shep has never displayed any semblance of compassion or empathy... just cold, hard, calculated efficiency. If you take the full Renegade route (90-100% Renegade dialogue / actions.. what I consider a "proper" renegade), then that is not a person that has a soft spot anywhere in them.
I refer to the actions / dialogue that a proper renegade makes throughout ME1 & ME2.... no kindness, no compassion, no empathy (most certainly not even to her / his closest friends.... even the renegade dialogue towards one's chosen lover still belittles them in some manner)... thus, it is not reasonable to assume a pure renegade would feel any emotional stress other than sheer exhaustion from years of warfare or frustration from not being able to achieve one's goals in an ideal manner.
Your character is a paragade.... Harsh, cruel (renegade choices) to outsiders / strangers, but kind, friendly (paragon choices) to those you know... your character is not renegade. Just as a paragon is not a paragon unless the overwhelming majority of their actions / dialogue are paragon path... a mix of the two is once again, paragade (Paragades are technically far more realistic... as most human beings are shades of gray).
