Well sure. The "what would I personally do" Shep will always do the same thing in a given playthrough....Except the ending...I feel different every time I get there. unexplainable. Other than that, yep..same choices. However, if I say "this is going to be the renegade playthrough", I would choose all renegade without hesitation.

Our characterization is Legion...

Priestly doesn't work here anymore.

Welcome to Daveburg where heroism and characterization is king.

OP: Yep. Not that I didn't try. But towards all my Sheps that did something differently I do not really feel connected, which is part of the appeal for me.

Roughly estimated 80% of them make largely the same decisions (I guesss around 0.01% of their decisions are different), are paragade, are all of the same gender, have nearly the same background (survivor/colonist, incidentally earthborn) are either infiltrators or engineers and are pretty much completionists, nearly all of them romanced Liara.

edit: Oh, and all of them have default ME1/ME2 femsheps face.

i play the same Shepard every time. over the course of 50 ME1 playthroughs, 10 ME2, and 5 ME3 playthroughs, i only have 1 renegade playthrough. every shepard ive ever made has saved wrex, left helena blake to live, fist lives, sidonis gets a second chance, the rachni get a second chance, everything i did, i did the right way. the worst part about is that for ME2 i literally have 3 pages of shepards to scroll through for picking my import save. each shepard is a vangaurd or an  adept, and each is named with some kind of deviation of 'ryan' like rion, of wri-ahn, or ryann. honestly, no idea which was the shepard i actually wanted to be my canon shepard.

then after 50some playthroughs of saving everyones life, at the end of ME3 i pick refuse and murder the entire galaxy.

thusly, why i abhor ME3s ending to the trilogy.

I cant help but do this too, I always play the same Paragade maleShep.
So I force a change by playing as femShep.

I'm confused by this. If almost all your Sheps do the same things, does it matter which one is "canon."

 As for the topic, there are some choices I go both ways on, but a lot I don't. Either the Renegade option is too douchebaggy, or an option is just kinda dumb, like blowing up Maelon's data.

Because it makes ME3's plot slightly less insulting?

Considering you can't un-sacrifice these lives anyway I find the idea of nobly rejecting the results rather silly. At least have someone check if they have some sort of value beyond their original purpose rather than rendering all these deaths completely pointless?

I agree, but I'm just saying.. this is how some people think sometimes. More idealistic than utilitarian. Some people focus on having pure foundations and motives.

It's not a view that I have much respect for, even as someone who plays fairly heavily on the Paragon side most of the time. It sounds like the type of "morality" derived from saying "This is bad and therefore anything that has anything to do with it must also be bad" What's happaned has happened.

The Collector base isn't a good comparison; the main reason I blow it up is entirely down to not wanting The Illusive Man getting his hands on it. I'd have handed it over to the Alliance or Council.

Well, it depends. I always make a Clint Eastwood looking Sheploo, I always romance Tali(Garrus for FemShep), I always play a mostly Paragon, I always spare Wrex, I always eradicate the Geth and I usually let Legion die in the Collector Base.

However, with the other choices(Council, Rachni, Virmire, Base) I've gone both ways.

If I could make Eastwood, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I mostly do (although I've also made other choices occasionally for a "just to see what happens" playthrough). I find it difficult to play too much in contradiction to my personality so hate a lot of the Renegade options.

Me too like this for the most part. I killed the rachni queen in ME1 once and I hated it....had to force myself to keep going and not reload. I also killed off the Council once (same game) for variety's sake. It really made the atmosphere on the Citadel in ME2 a lot different. If only they didn't ignore that outcome by the time 3 starts...... Some of the renegade options though, are mandatory imo, like head-butting Uvenk and punching Han'Gerrel.

Huh? No, because the decision is dumb on its face. You've got the data; it's just stupid to throw away a capability even if it's one you don't see a need for at the moment

True.

I'd say a more common/everyday way you'd see it coming up is if a suspected drug dealer (or worse), contributes to a good cause. If the person running the charity or outreach program knows that, do they accept the drug or blood money? Or maybe it's not even a big "cause". It could be between two family members. What if the decent one is in debt, and the shady one offers to help out -- the decent one might reject the offer, because it's tainted. They'd rather suffer alone.

I'm not quite sure how accurate these analogies are. Any rational person would acknowledge that stem cell research holds far more benefits than drawbacks. A charity taking blood money or a family member being bailed out by a criminal hold real potential dangers for the people involved. It isn't like the aborted fetuses will gain sentience, rob a gun store, and shoot up the laboratory in search of money, all whilst shouting in a ghetto voice.

[MassivelyEffective0730]

I always destroy the Collector base, but not for the reasons as stated in the game.

My opinion is that it is Reaper tech. It's like the One Ring from Lord of the Rings. You kind of have to destroy it because you can't control it, and resorting to using it might lead to some externalities, such as indoctrination, that might end up screwing over your entire effort against the Reapers.

[BassStyles]

My two canon Sheps, my male ParaShep and female ReneShep make different choices. My ParaShep remains the same almost every time (trying different LI) but my ReneShep likes to mix it up.

"Save Aralahk Company or Rachni? Who would help better in War Effort, Geth or Quarians, Ill let Kaidan shoot Udina to toughen him up a little for what lies ahead"... Stuff like that I can almost interchange each Rene play through.

I do pick all Rene convo options, but some of the decisions I like to think what a ReneShep would really do.

[agentN7]

My next playthrough will be renegade, and i will customize Shepard to make the transition from Paragon. I'd find it less appealing to make the default male Shepard a bad guy.
