lol... "that thing" basically exists in real life!
Although this tread is a bit older, i just wanted to share my worst complete Trilogy playthrough.
No matter the game i play, i always choose the paragon side, because it reflects my personality the most.
But because these various possibilities excist in the game, i at least had to try them out.
So I just finished it and actually still feel sad and sick about what this shepard had done:
Male BadAss Shepard, easy difficulty, just to get through fast
(It is not about the lowest ems or best Renegade Score, but to kill most characters by yourself, make them suffer the most or be directly responsible for their death)
ME 1:
Don't recruit Garrus
You Can't refuse Wrex or Tali, even if you insist (too bad for them later on)
Kill Chorban, send Jaheed to prison
shoot Jax (Rita- assignment)
punch Khalisah al-Jilani
lie to Emily Wong (2nd meeting)
intimidate Conrad Verner
sleep with the Consort
(Playorder vital for love triangle, found out the hard way so i had to play ME1 twice to get it right)
FEROS: Shoot Jeong, Kill Shiala, wipe out the colony by killing every colonist
LI Ashley
NOVERIA
Keep delivery - Kill Inamorda
Kill Mercs at Synthetic Insights - warn Anoleus about Parasini - they shoot each other
do the Hot Labs - wipe out Peak 15
Kill the Rachni Queen (Vital for ME3)
THERUM
Liara thinks you are a halucination, quite funny
Talking to Ashley should make her your love interest by now
Talk to Liara to start her Romance plot
VIRMIRE
Intimidate Wrex to stand down (maybe find his armor first)
Let Capt. Kirrahe die
shoot Rana Thanoptis (poor asari right before meeting sovereign)
leave Ashley on Virmire (protecting the bomb, she even smiles while you are leaving, poor lady)
Talk to Liara directly after Virmire = new Love Interest (she only needs 2 talking situations, while Ash/Kaidan need 3)
LOCKDOWN
Anderson gets shot (C-sec security option)
UNC (just to kill the talkable characters)
Toombs - doctor at risk (even the doctor, if you your background is sole survivor)
Helena Blake
Balak + Charn + Human Engineers - Bring down the Sky
Warlord Darius - Renegade special assignment
Major Kyle and his biotics
Geth + Tali - keep the data
Scientists at ExoGeni facility
Board Member Hostage
Kill the Council, choose Udina
ME2:
Thanks to the perfect suicide mission guide on this forum, i was able to do 9/12 loyality missions but still lost all squadmembers i intended to loose
(I didn't sell Legion to Cerberus or Morinth to become a Banshee in ME3, because their appearances as enemies doesn't feel that special, then loosing them along the SM)
Punch Khalisah .... again
Shoot Conrad Verners Foot - he "storms" off just to get .... recycled on Illium
Take as much Renegade interupts as possible
Thane LM - Fist Interrogation, shoot the Hostage)
Miranda doesn't talk to Oriana
Jack kills Aresh
Mordin shoots Mealon and destroys Data (IMPORTANT)
destroy the heretic geth (IMPORTANT)
Garrus kills Sidonis
Choose Morinth - Samara KIA
have a little sexual encounter with Jack
LotSB
rekindle Romance with Liara (she even knows of your encounter with Jack, when taking the paragon interrupt after killing Tela Vasir)
Overlord
leave David with Cerberus
Side with Jack over Miranda and do not regain Miranda's trust
Help Tali and romance her
Side with Tali and do not regain trust with Legion
Take your time after IFF Installation (i did most LM's then), NO SHIP-Upgrades!
Suicide Mission:
Jack - loyal KIA no Armor
Kasumi - loyal KIA no Shields
Thane - loyal KIA
Vents:
Garrus - loyal KIA as Tech Specialist
Long Walk:
Morinth - loyal KIA as team member (together with Miranda, she can't die here), Jacob as biotic bubble god
Grunt - loyal KIA Fire Tram Leader
NO Escort : we took our time, only Dr. Chakwas rescued but we send her back alone - KIA
Hold the Line
Zaeed - non loyal survives SM
Tali - loyal survives SM
Mordin - loyal survives SM
Jacob - non loyal KIA, because of defence strength (6/4)
Final Fight:
Legion - non loyal KIA
Miranda - non loyal KIA
destroy the Base (IMPORTANT for ME3 final decission)
Zaeed LM - Paragon Way and leave him to die - KIA
Skip Arrival DLC (less EMS in ME3)
lot's of coffins and only 5 organics and 1 AI on the Normandy remaining (i was really shocked by now)
ME3:
It is important to gain as few assets as possibly and to skip most crew talk, especially with Cortez)
skip Jarvik
skip Aria and OMEGA DLC
rekindle Romance with Liara
Citadell - Support - Refugee, Gung Ho civilian, Privat Talavis Request, frustrated C-Sec officer, angry merchant at Aegohr shop, asari huntress weapon request
These lower potenial Citadel assets, and do get some of the invovled characters killed
punch Khalisah ..... again and again.. (never get's tired)
shoot Kaidan and Udina (finally)
Tuchanka
do Turian Platoon but not the Bomb Mission
Free the Breeder - she will betray you and take a good chunk of your war assets
do not reveal the sabotage
Shoot Mordin
rekindle Romance with Tali , but do not lock her in, so no invite in your cabin!!!!(took her and Liara on the Geth Dreadnought, EDI explained to Liara, that Tali and Shep where together and still are ... so practically a Love Triangle 2.0, freaking cool, i must say)
Let Adm. Koris die on Rannoch
Tali tells you she loves you (rekindled Romance)
Side with the Geth - Quarian Genocide, Tali commits suicide (can't imagine worse)
Romance Allers and kick her of the ship
Romance Liara.... again
after Citadell III - Wrex shows up and knows about your betrayal...... Kill him
Leviathan DLC
just to torture Dr. Bryson in the Lab by using the renegade interupts do not finish this DLC
Citadel DLC
Kill clone and brooks..... very "nice" Party of 6 picture)
Cerberus scientists (talk to Dr. Archer, tell him the Geth problem is resolved.... he will kill himself)
Kallini Monestary - Kill Falere - whole Family gone because of you
Oriana Lawson kills her father and herself ( a bit hillarious this scene)
Priority Earth
Cortez dies in shuttle crash (didn't resolved his husband's death problem)
low EMS (i had something about 1000, 50% Readiness, no Krogan anymore for example)
Team:
Liara - James - you watch them getting burned to dust by Harbingers Beam (Liara reached out to Shep)
Anderson gets shot by TIM, and you shoot TIM
LOW EMS DESTROY Ending - EDI KIA, Geth anihilated, most of earth and the galaxy lies in ashes
No one exits the Normandy, no funeral name plate scene at the and, so obviously no survivors on the Normandy
After that outcome, i can't think of any better reason then to start again in a new galaxy, like Andromeda.
Sorry for the long post, but this playthrough really took some time and self persuation to finish it.
So I need to make a Paragon Playthrough right afterwards.
Intimidating Conrad Verner is the best option.
"You're supposed to be a hero!"
But because these various possibilities excist in the game, i at least had to try them out.
So I just finished it and actually still feel sad and sick about what this shepard had done:
How sad and sick would you feel about a playthrough like this?
Sorry for the long post, but this playthrough really took some time and self persuation to finish it.

I agree about aplaythrough like that takes a long time. The link I gave you above, took me a long time because some outcomes only happened if the correct dialogue was chosen. A few times I had to reload the game to get the outcome I wanted
Yes, that boy on Archangels recruiting mission, right, or Elnora, or the almighty biotic god Niftu Cal..... well i have to apologize for not listing all of these situations/choices, which i actually solved in the same manner as you did. Thanks to your link, everyone can see and read what we've been through with our Shepards, if interested of course.
I aimed for a "let them all burn"-scenario, including this piece of abomination my shepard evolved into, that's why low EMS right from the start.
But thinking about it, 50 EMS more on the one hand and the blood of 300.000 Batarians on your other hand..... next time i would choose the latter.
If you know when to skip/fast foward the conversations, then i ran through ME1 in 10h, ME2 16 and ME3 in 18h.
For a lone Monster solution i would do the same, except i would save the Collector Base, rather than destroying it, so i would finish with the renegade control option. Fear the galactic dictator "Shepalyst the Eternal"! Well at least the few, who survived the low EMS ending.
I have a run through in ME1 and ME2 where I decided to go with a neutral Shepard. In ME1 he always took the neutral response and throughout ME1 and ME2 he never did any paragon or renegade interrupts or reputation choices. He only managed to get Miranda, Kasumi and Legion loyal, he had no romance and Kasumi, Mordin and Jack all died. I haven't run him through ME3 yet but I intend to. I expect he won't be able to cure the genophage or save the Geth but he's not deliberately trying to fail he's just not got the charisma of a normal Shepard ![]()
