Will playing a mixed morality character impede my ability to make decisions later in the game?

I want a mostly paragon character but I like to make Renegade decisions sometimes and would like to have enpough renegade points to use those options here and there.  I also want to use the Renegade option on Zaeed's loyalty missin to get the assault rifle upgrade.

Is it true that later in the game when it really matters it's beneficial to have your paragon/renegade maxed out and that having your points too mixed will make it impossible to choose the good/bad options?

How far can I go?

Please no spoilers.  Thanks.

Depends on your P/R ratio, and how many points you imported (if you did import) from ME1. I play a paragade Shepard. The only persuasion I remember being unable to take was on a mission that involved Shepard being a honeytrap.

“In Mass Effect 2, if you wanted to get the hardest Charm options, you had to play an almost completely Paragon character,” Patrik Weekes explains. “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." is what I am afraid of.

I play paragade, and I was still able to beat the honeytap check. I think the Miranda/Jack conflict was harder to Paragon my way out of - I sided with Jack, then convinced Miranda for roleplaying purposes (seriously, the cheerleader was out of line, and it stops Jack from promising lethal retribution, not that it ever materializes in ME3...)

cpn_robhab, assuming you're already getting a boost to both paragon and renegade scores by importing an ME1 character the next thing you can do for your paragade playthrough is max out your class skill as early as feasible and choose the specialisation that gives a 100% bonus on morality points. Those two will probably be enough to get most or all conversation options on a fairly paragon playthrough. Alternatively, if an ME1 import isn't an option and/or you'd rather put the points into other powers and you want to not worry about not having a conversation option later because you were a hair's breadth short of the percentage then you could invest some time early on in the game to making use of a glitch on Lazarus station to build up a stack of points. There's a later one involving Samara's loyalty mission (also detailed on that link) but if I'm going to do it I prefer the first one for three reasons: 1 - it's so early on in the game that it doesn't disrupt the story as much as doing the Samara loyalty glitch in the middle of the game, 2 - you can get both paragon and renegade points while the Samara one is paragon only, and 3 - while both exploits are a time consuming pain in the arse the first one gives you twice as many points each time you do it. I'm doing a playthrough of ME2 at the moment where I used the first glitch to give my Shep extra renegade points as he came from ME1 with hardly any, and only if he starts missing paragon conversation options will I top up those with the Samara loyalty one when the time comes.

You can always just cheat with Gibbed.

Hi OP, I actually had an interesting experience with a mixed alignment Paragade (or Renegon, whichever you prefer). I basically went completely free-style, going with Paragon or Renegade choices whichever felt more appropriate to my character. I made every persuasion check.

The trick was this, get the really hard speech checks done 1st. What happens is, the persuasion checks seem to scale up in difficulty with your character level or game progress, to a point where people have reported having full Paragon or Renegade status still won't help them make the respective speech option.

Zaeed's loyalty mission is one of these difficult speech checks, so like he suggests, get it out of the way 1st. The other one to be careful of is to recruit the Asari Justicar early, as to unlock her loyalty mission, then do that right away. There's a hard speech check there, but if you do it successfully, you'll get a lot of Paragon or Renegade points, enough to make the subsequent checks.

Tried to avoid spoilers while still giving you enough info to make all speech checks.

I also played a Paragade throughout the series and only ran into problems when attempting to resist Morinth's mind control (doing it a few missions later netted the points needed). Maxing your passive skills for boosts to alignment is all you need to focus on, really.

You will definitley miss out in certain important decisons. I
