When was the RENEGADE choice ever the realistic one?
From the top of my head: Bring Down the Sky, the Rachni Queen, Dr. Saleon, the Council, the Genophage, the refinery on Zorya, Keiji's graybox, Joram Talid, Sidonis, Ronald Taylor, the Patriarch, Aresh, Oriana and publically unveiling Rael'Zorah's crime.
And possibly the pro-Cerberus choices as well, depending on your perspective.
1. I've already discussed that the true realistic option is denied you.
2. It's realistic to murder someone for crimes they had no part in?
3. It's realistic to just shoot a criminal rather than arrest them?
4. The realistic option is to destroy the geth fleet while the arms are still closed and the enemy forces are separated, rather than risk the defeat of your fleet to save a few seconds.
5. It's realistic to allow a race to die out rather than believe they can change?
6. The mission was to RESCUE THE WORKERS. Letting them die so Zaeed gets his revenge is not realistic.
7. Destroying the greybox so that...what? Kasumi isn't in danger? She's going on a suicide mission, let her keep her memories, she'll probably die anyway.
8. Because everyone knows shooting the hostage is how real police handle things.
9. Because letting your friend murder someone in cold blood is realistic.
10. Again, what is unrealistic about arresting people?
11. It's unrealistic for Shepard to lay the smack down on a couple would be assassins? What?
12. You're going to nuke the base, why kill him?
13. I don't see how keeping the knowledge of her sister secret is better. It's not like her dad is just going to stop looking for her either way.
14. Betraying your friend's wishes is realistic?
Off the top of my head, it seems like there isn't a realistic choice in there.
1. No, you stop the terrorist before he has a chance to do anything of the same sort again... the lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few.
2. Yes, they are highly prone to indoctrination and when you have the reapers to deal with, you also don't need an army of rachni helping them out. Besides she's in a cage rigged with poison... she's likely to say anything to get you to let her out, as would you.
3. Someone as sick as Dr. "Heart" ... absolutely! By shooting him out of the sky when Garrus wanted to, not only would you have ended the subjects already experimented on's suffering, you prevent him from doing it to the patients you see as husks when you meet him. Plus, you stop him from ever doing it again.
4. Realistically you'd want your full force to attack Sovereign as he is capable of taking everyone and everything down quickly, rather than waste precious reinforcements on one ship that can't even help in the fight.
5. Yeah, you just go and "believe" they can change... and see what happens. Next thing you know, the Krogan rule the universe and no other species exist. Besides, if you listen to Mordin it adapts allowing them to control the Krogan numbers, it's not going to make them extinct.
6. ACTUALLY, the mission was to help Zaeed. He wants to take out the head of the blue suns. Doing so will cripple the blue suns, at least for a short while, during the power struggle. Once again, lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few.
7. NO, you destroy the data so that the alliance or whoever doesn't came after you by thinking you know about the data.
8. This one, I'll give you... makes no sense to shoot the hostage.
9. He's a lowlife terrorist. He deserves to die, he got every one of Garrus' unit killed.
10. This is about what he deserves, he doesn't deserve the comfy jail life after what he did. There's a reason there's a death penalty.
11. Not sure which is the renegade or paragon here... I always kill the assassins.
12. Don't remember this decision. Who's Aresh?
13. Keeping her a secret is better than not.
14. Don't even try to use that as an argument since you already went against Garrus' wishes.
