 EDIT: Title change- Apparently I was unclear when I made the title of the first, so hopefully you won't get more "But everyone will win in some form, so it's a moot point."

(To me at leaSt) I've always felt that paragon was always the safest route to go, and it is to my understanding that most people believe that overall paragon choices usually fare better in the long run. 

But in ME3, I want the tagline for ME1 (Extinction is one descision away) to be true. I want it so that victory isn't assured simply because you pick the option in the upper corner. Renegade has simply been degraded to the image of "ruthless douchebag"  whose actions seem trivial and needless in the scope of the entire game because for the most part renegade usually equates to less content (with the killing of characters) and in this aspect it feels like the renegade is being punished. I also in the belief that renegade seems this way because the benefits of their actions never really come to fruition like paragon's do, and in fact in that sense it seems needless. The Rachni for example, you kill the rachni queen as a rengade 'just to be safe', which I believe with the information you are given is a perfectly valid reason. However, if as a paragon you let her live, you are forced to realize that killing her as a renegade was all for naught.

The only renegade decision that I find that was truly "victory" for renegades was on Samara's recruitment with Elnora. You are specifically told before you start that every eclipse sister has to earn her uniform by killing. When you encounter her, Renegades, while not immediatly shooting her upon seeing her uniform, does kill her after a presumed act of hostility. The paragon lets her go, and finds out afterwards she was infact a ruthless killer and murdered the volus. 

Just once I want a paragon decision to bite us in the ass. It's all I ask. War (or perhaps genocide) is mean business and I want

I know the usual convention is paragon=good, renegade=bad, but I do believe that you can't be a saint all the time and expect to end up on top. The saying goes "Nice guys finish last.", while not completely true, you can't win trying to appease everybody.

I think people, especially those whose comments are getting a little heated and personal, should take a step back and agree to disagree. Play nice, people.
