Does anyone else think that the scars and red eyes for renegade are a bit stupid? I really don't like them...

[fraggle]

You can always just heal them But yes, the final stages of Renegade do look unpleasant to me.

Personally I keep the scars for certain characters because for some of them it fits, and I never play a pure Renegade anyway, so I never had the red eyes.

[ArcadiaGrey]

Honestly yes.  I love scars in the CC, I use them whenever they're available as it gives a character so much more...character. 

 

But the renegade glowing crevices on Shep's face, along with the glowing red eyes, are a little silly.  Then it gets plain stupid when Chakwas tells you 'if you do good deeds they'll disappear!'

 

First off, pretty sure that's not how scar healing works, it's clearly a silly video game premise.  And secondly, it hints that scars and the people who have them are 'evil', and the unscarred are 'good'.  Which is, of course, utter nonsense.

Yeah I know about healing them, but I was under the (probably incorrect) impression that they would reappear if you went all out renegade?

It seems once they're healed in the med bay, it will stay like that This is only from what I've read though as I've never tried that out, but there's also Chakwas's e-mail that basically mentions if you don't want to be a Paragon but don't want the scars either, they can be healed.

I ALWAYS heal the scars. I don't want my Shepards running around like they are the Terminator. In ME1 I generally go with a scar, but ME2 & 3 scarring is just awful.

Same, I wish we could have the regular scars back in ME2 and 3.  

 

What can I say, I like maiming my protagonists with a vicious knife attack right across their faces.

Femshep looks cute with her eye scar, the one that puts the little gap in the brow.

Yep, that one's my favourite

[Shechinah]

Oh, I think I remember that I gave my Colonist Shepard a large scar on one cheek that was very pronounced. I believe I headcanoned that he recieved it during the raid on Mindoir. That's one of the reasons I like scars on my characters: they can be like unspoken stories.

[The One True Nobody]

Even my Paragon Shepards use the medbay upgrade to perma-heal the scars. If someone with a face that looked like a neon patchwork quilt with glowy eyes walked up to you and asked them to help you save the galaxy, would you trust them?

[themikefest]

For someone, me, who plays a pure renegade Shepard, excellent, I get the scars healed.  At a certain point, the scars just look......I'll just say they're not for the Shepard I play.

[sentinel_87]

I like them, but I am glad I can have them healed with the med bay upgrade.  For most of my games they don't make much sense.  For my total Renegade I got them healed though since they do look a little comical.  But I do enjoy playing through with them every now and then.  I tend to play more of a renegade style than paragon usually and it can change things up some what with a terminator looking Shepard.

 

I also think one of the reasons I like it is because it harkens back to the first RPG I ever played, KotOR, and how your character changed as they went further down the dark side.  It makes absolutely no sense in ME, but it's still an good option to play with a renegade Shepard.

[niniendowarrior]

I love the scars.  When I play renegade Shepards, I keep them.  I love the glowing eyes and scars.  I also love how comical it looks when people treat Shepard like he looks normal.  Full of evil!

[Arsen]

I am more than sure these scars are a nod to Bioware's former game, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, where the protagonist's face would get disfigured the more he drew closer to the dark side.

But no, I don't have a problem with them.

[KaiserShep]

I thought they were pretty stupid. I mean, walking around literally lava-faced and errybody's like "nbd bro". The med bay is easily the first thing I upgrade to get rid of any trace of them.

[aoibhealfae]

I like the idea though. Shepard's implants degrading and revealing the synthetic flesh underneath. 

[Silvery]

Yeah, I got rid of the scars on my renegade playthrough when they started to get really bad, they looked too out of place. 

 

They do add to great videos though.

 

[Spirit Vanguard]

I might be a female krogan, because I like them. And all their little glowy bits.

I even wish a more paragon leaning Shep could have blue scars.

[bunch1]

I thought they were interesting as long as you played a neutral character, who didn't go heavy one way or the other.  The problem with that is you need to be full on paragon or reneged to get some critical dialogue options so it's best done on a 2ed or 3rd play-through or the character.

[Arsen]

That would be inconsistent. I guess that Mass Effect 3 provides some explanation to that: seeing that Cerberus was using special tech to reanimate Shepard, it would be easy to deduce that adrenaline (which would be secreted in larger quantities if Shepard was performing random acts of violence) would "help" the implants take over. Later, in ME3, Henry Lawson deduced that adrenaline is what speeds up the "reaperification" process (turning into husks, marauders, banshees etc). And there the researchers were using tech similar to that used to reanimate Shepard.

I didn't mean it in a serious way. I just thought it would be fun.

[Arsen]

I know, I know. What I explained is why this was not happening.
