I'd say paragades or renegons would end up making the galaxy safer. They both use diplomacy when applicable but use brute force when appropiate.


Somewhat off topic, but what exactly is a paragade / renegon? I've been on these boards for ages but I've never seen a definition.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is a Mass Effect 2 mod that allows you to use both charm or intimidate regardless of your paragon and renegade meters.

Paragade = Mostly Paragon with a good amount of Renegade
Renegon:  The opposite of the above

I think Paragade is the best because there are times where you need to make unpopular but necessary choices to harden the galaxy and prepare it for the trials it will face. At the same time, the galaxy won't be safer if you are killing/antagonizing potential allies. So I think it is best for the galaxy if you strike a balance between the two.


This.

I'm not really a fan of the terms but from what I understand:

Paragade = All the BIG CHOICES are paragon but they're not above using a renegade interupt when necessary.

Renegon = Nice guys who remain cold and calculated when it comes to the BIG CHOICES.

Ok. So a Paragade might stick a gun in Conrad Verner's face, but he'd save the Council. A Renegon might stop the kid at afterlife from signing on as a merc, but would keep the Collector base. About right?

Mordin would be an example of a 'renegon'.
I can't really think of a companion who could be considered 'paragade' though.

Tali? She's not ruthless but she's pretty fiesty and neutral-ish.

Renegade is the safest, it's pretty much better safe than sorry. Paragon can be too trusting and tends to believe there's good to be found in everything, admorable, but dangerous..

The only renegade choice I thought was terrible was to sacrifice the council, trying to fight a war without leaders isn't going to end well, with a human council the other species wouldn't trust humanity, saving the council gains their trust.

The Shadow Broker and a Cerberus operative? Jacob is even willing to kill his own father.

Imo humans taking over the Council really only hurt the Turians. By the time of ME1 the Asari and Salarians had been reduced to little more than stooges. Just look at the Treaty of Farixen.

True, the Turians will probably despise a Shepard who deposed the Council they dominated. But while the Asari and Salarians might be somewhat resentful I think they'll be willing to deal with you regardless. Races without a seat on  the Council lost nothing, so I don't see why they would really care.

How do you figure? Because he committed atrocities? Because he never lived up to Jacob's expectations? That doesn't change the fact that he is the man who fathered Jacob.

Renegon overall.

Paragades are not sure what they are.
Paragons don't get things done.
Renegades make everything around them miserable.

Trying to measure squadmates on the paragon/renegade scale doesn't really work. They rarely give you opinions of what choice to make, and sometimes when they do (such as on whether to save the Council), their response is entirely based on whoever else is with you (Tali will tell you to kill the Council when Liara is around, but to save them when Wrex is there).

When Liara threatens to kill 5 potentially innocent people to make sure that the spy is dead, she ceases to become a paragon/paragade, imo.

He's referring to the fact that Jacob says "This man is not my father" about 400 times throughout his loyalty mission.

Elimination of variables = alone and trapped.

Renegade = Paranoid.


Concerns over trust and the future is not paranoia.

Renegade is not alone either. There is Cerberus, the STG, the Alliance, the Council, the quarians, ect... all lined up.

What good are allies without the right tools? You won't beat the Reapers by throwing bodies at them and hoping they reach a kill limit.

I think you got it wrong actually.

An example of a Renegon action would be, for example, killing Zaeed for letting the Refinery go up in flames. Or yelling at the Quarian admirals all the time, for Tali's sake. I see a Renegon as someone who fights for the good of the galaxy, but doesn't really care how mean they have to be to do it.

Well technically their is still an order to where they fit on the paragon/renegade spectrum in ME1.

Kaidan
Liara
Tali
Garrus
Ashley
Wrex

(However Kaidan becomes 'most renegade' if you harden him, and Ashley becomes 'most paragon' if you soften her)

These people were anything but innocent.

Renegon is best. I'm able to empower humanity with renegade decisions(ex.killing council and saving CB) and kill criminals and use Paragon ones to save human lives (ex. Feros colony and human in Jacob's LM) and have alien scum like Pitner For, Anoleis and the two Asari merchants on Illium serve hard time in San Quentin.
