With ME ( presentation? ) comes a predisposition to play as a renagade: alien perception of humans, question about your sanity or your competence, the nature of the Reaper menace and ideology, disbelief and lethargy from people surrounding you - whose very life you trying to save...It almost feels less intuitive to play as a paragon unless there's a willingness to silence all those emotions that just keep building up throughout the course of the game.Yakko77 wrote...
Now that I think about it, all of my femsheps are Paragon. 2 engineer of the same name (1 normal and 1 insanity difficulty), infiltrator, adept and sentinel. My male soldier is paragon but my male vanguard is my only renegon. I tend to gravitate to the more "heroic" and "honorable" characters in rpg games. ME is one of the few where I gave a remotely "evil/renegade" play through a go. All my Fallout characters (all female) are "good" and the same goes for Skyrim and other rpg like KOTOR, TOR, Jade Empire, etc. There are sandbox games like Saints Row II & III where playing "good" is practically impossible but that game is more looney toons than anything.
And there's your character's background where to me lies some of the genius behind ME games: it really feels as an extension of yourself ( well at least of your canon ); whether you're picking it based on your own predisposition toward the game, or with the genuine intent on entirely building you character arround it, Shepard's background feels real and adequate. Resentment or remorse maybe some of the first emotions introduced to you as a player, although i'm not suggesting that playing as a renegade is inevitable. There's an actual greater desire from me to seek redemption, after a dark past.

Retour en haut
. I have intended for some time to make a Shepard and model her look and personality directly after the Major (movie black-haired version, obviously, since there isn't purple hair in the game), but I haven't been able to find the time
