I have six sheps so I've tried to do a little bit of everything. My canon is mostly paragon because I just went with how I felt moved by the story at the time. My instinctive reactions to events in the game just turned out to be mostly paragon. However, I do have a complete paragon and a complete renegade. The full paragon was easy since there was no real moral obstacles. The full renegade was much harder (and led to my third shep who was just a failed renegade basically).  But the challenge of justifying everything (even the being mean to the entire crew) was satisfying in it's own way and now I like my full renegade a lot. So to answer your question, yup, I have played full on both and it can be fun. My favorite shep is one that is much more mixed, of course, but full paragons or renegades are not necessarily boring. Depends on how you shape the story in your head.

I play Wuxia-Paragon and Sun-Tzu-Renegade, which naturally leads to mixing of the alignments - being a wuxia means you're shy about killing criminals (like Helena Blake), while being Sun Tzu means you keep all possible resources alive (like the rachni or the Collector Base or the geth heretics) though colonist background adds a "unless it's a f***ing batarian because eff batarians" to it.

Pure-Paragon/Renegade is mainly due to ME2's percentages system, where any time you are offered a choice between Paragon and Renegade dialogs/options (not charm/intimidate) it's to your benefit to stick with one. It's why I preferred the Charm/Intimidate points in ME1, because I could tell my wuxia-paragon Shep to tell the Purgatory guard to keep beating that criminal's ass.

Nope. I play Renegade but make the Paragon labeled choices on all the BIG decisions. Things like letting the Rachni queen live, saving the Council, Feros, Blowing up the base. I call it my "Badass with a heart of gold" Shepard.

I play mostly Paragon, with several Renegade tendencies...

[Veloric Wu]

My FemShep is a Renegade for sure, she choose generally the lower-side reply, skips all Paragon interrupts, and gets all Renegade ones.

But nope, she's not the seriously pure Renegade-----she's only 99% pure , as she still save innocent lives. For example, she saved Normandy crews in ME2, and she also saved the poor salarian workers in Thane's recruitement mission.

You can go for mixed scores instead of pure Renegade/Paragon if you wish, but without mastering any of them,  your character would be a self-paradox.

Going either pure Renegade or Paragon makes Shepard's personality strong, obvious and most importantly, fun.


Pure
Renegade provides you with a hard-edged badass who seeks vengeance to
her/his enemy and wants to claim victory at all costs. Such kind of
person is unlikely to make those Paragon choices, like sparing the
Rachni Queen (since she pretty much pissed Shepard off~), or rewriting
geth instead of killing them(Shepard has been bothered by those geth long enough, she/he will indeed seek some furious vangeance~~)

But if you're going 100% pure......that can be wicked.

 Both,  when I had no more missions to do I took a look at gibbed and it had me at 1101 para and 1027 renegade

[LadyJaneGrey]

Never.

[Wulfram]

Some of mine can be pretty pure paragon as far as actual decisions go, but they'll pick dialogue from the whole spectrum.

[vanslyke85]

I've never had a full Renegade or a full Paragon playthrough. There is always like a quarter or a bit less of the opposite style of what I'm playing.

Neither do mine. Renegade Shep killed him, Paragon would have done so had I BDtS at the time (letting him go in favor of the hostages only tells others like him that taking hostages works and encourages further attacks; killing him does the opposite, and even if he's seen as a martyr and others take his place, just keep killing his copycats until all decide it's a bad idea). Both also made the bartender drink his own poison and tazed the Blue Sun sergeant. Main difference is Paragon helped the sick batarian and Renegade left him to die, and that Paragon charmed the batarian mercs in Afterlife and Renegade intimidated.

I´m currently doing an all-paragon playthrough, but normally I can´t do it, because I like to take the Renegade interrupts and do other renegade things in situations that call for them.
And even this pure playthrough didn´t go quite like I wanted to, so I had to modify them points >.>
It isn´t that important anyway ^^

[Mulatdood]

 Well I run three characters one "cannon" sheperd who does what ever I feel is right. Then I have two pure characters to grab the achivments and see what it is like. So I guess So in what I think of as the cannon I don't play a pure character.

[RunicDragons]

I'm more of a Paragon than a Renegade. But, I never do a Pure Paragon. I always choose the options that suites me the best.

[Sajuro]

Issac Shepard (earth born-sole survivor-soldier) being my first character is basically doing what I think I would do.
Lucia Shepard(Spacer-War Hero-Infiltrator) wants to believe people are doing what they think is best and is slowly becoming disillusioned as she progresses the the series.

[wilhelm Screamer]

Pure anything is boring as hell, anyone who resists shooting that krogan on tuchanka has no sense of humor.

[Destroy Raiden_]

No I play paragade. I assess the situation and choose the wheel based off of it.

[breakdown71289]

Well when i first started ME2 on PS3, my goal was to be as paragon as i could throughout the whole game, mainly because that's how i would see myself in the commander's shoes. Thankfully, i'm glad i did

Basically, I could say the same about my Shep. She's a bit short-tempered with blatant idiots, makes short work of criminals and terrorists, but if there is a chance she will try to say innocent lives. And will not condone most of Cerberus activities. Paragade FTW 

For example, I never understood Renegade path on Feros. Why would an Alliance soldier just gun down civillians with a possibility to knock them out present?

[JeffZero]

Heck no.

There's enough diversity across the Paragon and Renegade gamut that I feel pretty strongly about Shepards constantly taking the blue-or-red path in life being remarkably inconsistent.

This is kind of the way I tend to work.  I mean, Paragon options for big decisions, sure, but who can resist awesome/funny Renegade moments like "What sound will you make when you hit the ground? Think you'll hear it before you die?"

[Yakko77]

Paragade mostly. Some of those renegade interrupts are just too much fun. I do a lot of paragon interrupts too and I have a full paragon bar but my renegade bar is fill up roughly 20-25%.

[PauseforEffect]

Have done both a renegade and paragon playthroughs and honestly cannot take renegade seriously. The humor is lacking and sounds more like a juvenile's way of trying to sound tough.
Of course, when you play a colonist sole-survivor, there's not a lot to laugh about. You see too much death and pain and other people's condescending selfishness gets on your last nerve. In my personal experience, the more suffering a person knows, whether their own or others, they are far quieter, more patient and considerate of the behavior of people around them. Most of the time, the aggressive ones don't even know they've been outmaneuvered by the polite, smiling stranger standing off to the side with a weapon in reach
