These could be good things for renegade
If a squadmate says something stupid, the player can beat the crap out of that squadmate or at least get in their face and use some very harsh dialogue. This can apply to crewmembers as well
A squadmate lack of action that leads to the player choosing to kick that squadmate off the roster and/or off the ship
Not totally disagree with you(All these can lead to nice options) but that's not my point.
Also don't miss that renegade=/= evil or angry video game nerd kinda adolescent with some mental problems.
People, including developers/writers etc mostly miss that stuff.
If milk would worth more than cocaine drug dealers would sell milk, simple as that. They're not selling it "to drug people because they're evil hur hur", just "gaining money while not caring about morality much or not at all"
For example in KOTOR you could "reject" beggars and that would make you "Dark lord of the sith", non-sense. My character was like "I have a galaxy to save, i'm in a hurry. I can't reach to all of you so use other means." not "You don't deserve a dime. You deserve to die!!!"
Or in Fallout 3 you could blow Megaton just because you could. Not that they fired a shot on you, not that they stole stuff from you, you haven't even heard bad words etc. Only that a shady man "promised" you to get a nice place. "Oh i'm idiot enough to believe in shady people over here and there with no proof and i can ultra-kill people for no reason at all. Deal." (And only explanation from his boss was he didn't like the view of it... Yeah.)
What i imagine is evil=has low or no attachments to morality. Good=has a high morality.
What developers do is evil=blowing up elemantary schools just for being evil. I'm sure he/she will drink their blood too.
Good=Stupid white knight in armor, accepts every single thing because people demand it.
What i meant was in some situations paragon should lead to bad stuff and renegade should lead to good stuff.
If France could invade Germany in 1936 because of Rhine problem(which i'm sure is evil/renegade according to developers) it could lead to something better. Oh and on the opposide side Mr Chamberlain tried to reason with Mr. Hitler, accepted a few demands while crossing the line at Poland but he was too naive and too late.(Yeah total paragon since he's reasonable even with the evil
)
"The way to Hell is paved with good intentions." anyway. That's what i want.
