I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite blog post EVAR!

Haha, basically it works as I expected it would based on what I'd seen but the thorough explanation was awesome. Thanks Patrick and Jessica for posting! Excitement just went even higher.

I'm going to wildly speculate that Shepard is talking to TIM in the picture.

Like the new system.

[Xewaka]

Neutral options add to reputation.
Helm yeah.

Finally!, I can nuke entire colonies I deem as a threat and not get penalized for it, the only reason I should get penalized is if unknowingly one or more of those colony's might have be helpful in the war effort.

Their was a mass effect in my apartment! My jaw hit the floor. ME2 felt retrogressive from ME1, which had a more technical system, this has more of a meta-rpg reputation flavor to it. Very cool.

OMGWTF MORE THAN 2 OPTIONS

[Helena Tylena]

So... unless I'm mistaken...

The amount of paragon and renegade things you do still determines whether you'll be able to use Charm or Intimidate options, but having done enough total stuff means you can still do at least one?
If so, neat.

I always hated how a morality system tends to turn into an either-or situation, where choosing one at the start of the game meant you have to keep choosing that one throughout the game if you wanted the 'best' ending.
Dragon Age, in my opinion, did morality the best way. This looks like it's going to be a close second.

Very cool.

This sounds fantastic! Excellent work, guys. Hopefully this is an idea you'll consider for future games as well.

[LiquidLogic2020]

This sounds great! No longer punished for actually role playing now and your rewarded even more than before when you spend time to do side quests and interact with characters.

[Tazzmission]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[pmac_tk421]

I like this new system. Well done guys.

[Mike Aus]

Fantastic additions. It should be interesting to see how this will work in the game.

Five bucks says Shepard is talking to the Illusive Man in that final picture.

agreed - that screams confrontation with Illusive man!!

Seems about the right time to bust out this song.

[felipejiraya]

What?

No one whined about it yet?

This new system is really cool, can't wait to see by myself how this will work.

[shepskisaac]

I was waiting for this! Very happy!

Why would you give Armor-Piercing Ammo to a Shepard that already has Incendiary Ammo?

...but seriously, very useful blag update.

This made me giggle.



Because it's true.

Some have grumbled a bit about Paragon/Renegade being pointless, but no, no actual whining.

When I saw this thread I assumed it was about Bioware's reputation.

It has been suffering more then a little lately.

• There’s no penalty for mixing Paragon and Renegade: In Mass Effect 2,
  if you wanted to get the hardest Charm options, you had to play an
  almost completely Paragon character. We intended many of those Charms to
  be fun Easter eggs, but many players felt like they had to play pure
  Paragon to avoid being penalized by the loss of a dialog option. In Mass Effect 3,
  your Reputation score determines both Charm and Intimidate options, and
  that score is determined by adding your Paragon and Renegade scores
  together. You’re still rewarded for being a completionist player and
  doing as much content as you can, but you can do it as a Paragon or
  Renegade player without penalty.
• We now have non-flavored Reputation: In Mass Effect 2,
  after a mission that didn’t have any major choices, we would give both
  Paragon and Renegade points, to show that even without a major decision,
  Shepard was more famous and had more influence as a result. This
  confused some players and made others angry – people who wanted to play
  pure Paragon didn’t like getting rewarded with both Paragon and Renegade
  points. In Mass Effect 3, whenever there’s a mission with no major
  decision, you will get Reputation points that add to your overall score
  but don’t carry a Paragon or Renegade flavor. The bar on your screen
  will grow, but the Paragon/Renegade ratio will remain unchanged.

Easily one of the best news about ME3. FINALLY, we will be able to actually make the choices we want/would make without meta-gaming "will this make me have not enough Angel/Devil points to achieve the best result?". I'm so happy, this should've been like this since ME1.

It's great they did this because I was planning to write an over-elaborate, self-indulgent, borderline vitriolic rant against the whole false dichotomy thing that needs to go away.

The old system was really archaic and actually hurting RP experience so I'm incredibly happy for this change
