If you are going to establish a paragon interrupt system, the best way to indicate a paragon interrupt is coming is to constantly use very specific camera cutaways. Renegade choices always show Shepard readying a gun, cracking his knuckles, essentially getting ready to do something aggressive.

With Paragon stuff, simply using a specific type of camera cutaway would be a good way to indicate an interrupt is coming up. You know it's not renegade because nothing aggressive is happening, and you know it's not a conversation camera edit because the cutaway appears very abruptly. Or if instead of doing abruptly use a slow camera zoom out, slow zooms could be good to link to Paragon choices.

You know, I think that is a great idea. Keep the close ups of fists and guns for Renegade options, and maybe a slow zoom in/out on Shepard to indicate a Paragon interrupt.

I could usually tell when a renegade option was coming. Shep's body language gave it away. But I play almost exclusively paragon (go ahead and laugh), and those interrupts always caught me by surprise. I got in the habit of putting a finger on the left trigger during every cutscene, just in case. I still missed a couple really quick ones, which made me have to go back to an earlier save.

I played almost exclusively paragon too, so I ignored most of the interrupts. I would do a couple though, I love the way they played out and the body langauge and cuts in the cinematic made it fairly easy to tell what was going to happen. It's a nice way to improve something (dialogue wheel) that's already really great without taking anything away from it.

I don't care what it is I'll just do any interrupt I'm given.

[HemisH]

I didn't do one single renegade one!

To continue on the interesting questions raised in this thread... Maybe different icons (or position like top right and bottom right for paragorn) for "action" or "verbal". So you don't just break someone's jaw as a paragorn interrupt when you think you will talk some sense into someone. Hell gives us both options on some of them.

Or depending on the kind of choices you take as a paragorn or renegade, some interrupts would be more physical or verbal depending on the way you play your paragorn (or renegate).

Just throwing stuff out there. Maybe I'm not making sense.

[Vitani]

I just thought I would drop my two cents in here...

I really like the interrupts and even tohugh I usually don't see them coming (ME2 is very, very cinematic, I tend to sit back and watch the scene play itself and usually miss the chance to do anything ) I appreciate their existance. Paragon ones usually made me giggle like crazy because they always manage to surprise me, no matter how many things I could possibly come up with for a given scene and the Renegade ones really add up to the darker side of Shepard if we want to play her/him that way. Nice touch.

Who am I kidding, I LOVE them and would like to see some in ME3!

[Lilaris]

I really liked them. I think I hit pretty much every paragon interrupt in the game. 

[Jebel Krong]

i love it - it is great except for the fact that if you are really into the game you can miss the pop-ups comletely as i have at least once... and i've done both paragon and renegade depnding on the situation (but mostly renegade). you do wonder what you miss in terms of conversation at times, though. as for the subtle indicators - the acting is so good all the way through i really don't get any hint one is coming just from that.

[Trigonous]

I absolutely loved the new system. Hence why my Paragon Shepard has more than a few Renegade points.



Only complaint is that the interrupt when you recruit archangel and are looking down the scope is really hard too see, I didn't notice it on my first two playthroughs.

my thoughts exactly. Maybe in the interupt conversations have the symbol appear at the bottom in grey/orange(like traffic lights!?) as a standby/inactive mode. so the player knows it may happen depending where the conversation goes. Then when approriate make them flash Reg(Red) or Par(blue). (I'm not sure if this would work out, since interupts are meant to be spontanous! so they seem less suprising when you give indication. perhaps just a change in icon)

Changing the symbol for action/verbal. and just have colour indication for Renagade/paragon.
Hell i took some of the Renegade interupts in my first play through because they were new and fun... unless they resulted in a really bad action did i reload it. next time i'll try to hold my excitment.

[Erszebeth]

I usually HATE quick time events, but Bioware used it the only way it's right : failing to press the button don't kill you. Interrupts add something but don't remove anything, ergo it's good game design. Kudos.

[lustieyoda]

I love the it, I hope the put something like the interrupted system into SWTOR.

I noticed it on my first playthrough, but I was a paragon so I didn't do it. I just got there on my Renegade Sentinel last night and laughed as I clicked the interrupt.

I must say I think the Renegade interrupts are better than the Paragon ones (I've finished the game as a paragon, but am only 50% of the way through my Renegade).

[jellobell]

I love the interrupts, especially the paragon one on Zaeed's loyalty mission, very badass.

[Mezinger]

Okay, I am a ME2 nay-sayer... and upon hearing about the interrupt system my original feeling was... "oh great a gimmick to make the Call of Duty gang actually pay attention to the dialogue and the story... oh dear, total fail"

But upon playing the game I have to say it's well implemented and it actually does add something to the dialogue scenes even for those of us that loved them in the ME1 without taking anything away. IMO. One of the few changes I can say that about.

I enjoy them, i think they're cool. Question for all y'all: what do you think of the little hints you get of an upcoming interrupt? Things such as showing Shepard cracking his knuckles before a punching interrupt, or Shepard handling his gun before a shooting interrupt? Was it clear? Did it help you decide whether to use the interrupt, or decide which interrupt (Paragon or Renegade) to use? Did you even notice it?

I didn't like it to be honest.

It doesn't work playing as a paragon it made Shepard look bloodthirsty and you have to restrain her to hold back by not pressing the button.

[noobzor99]

great addition. When I first saw it I thought it was going to be horrible, but once I played a bit I knew it was all good.

I don't think it's so much a matter of being bloodthirsty as more of a way to show the player what crossed Shepard's mind. If you feel like punching someone, you'll likely close your fist (your left fist usualy, BTW, even if you're not left-handed) or you might consider reaching for your gun in a dangerous situation.

For instance, there's an interrupt where you an enemy is giving his big speech about how he'll kill everyone, the camera points at a gas tank right below him and you're given the opportunity to make a Renegade interrupt. That's not a matter of Shepard being bloodthirsty, he's just noticing an opportunity and you're given a choice whether or not he'll take it depending on your choices.

Anyway, just my opinion on that little detail .

I love them. People would be talking and Shepards all like "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am"

This. Loved the interrupts.

It`s not like every gamer tries to be an extreme. I like it more to play a Shepard who reacts like I would react and I think even for the extrem paragons it is something that adds something like realism. You can`t like everything and smile all the time.

[Orfinn]

A really well implemented feature. I love both the Paragon and Renegade, theres some really humorous ones on both sides ^^

[BinJuice82]

I really liked the interrupt system. Makes for even more engaging dialogue scenes.

@Stanley Woo:
Perhaps to imply that a Paragon interrupt is coming up an audio cue could be implemented. A certain recognisable chord or tone in the background music or something. I can't think of anyway to visually imply it though.

I love the interrupt system. I find myself really watching for them. They really add a lot to the game.

[Shazzie]

Yes, it's harder to foreshadow a Paragon interrupt. My thoughts would be Shepard straightening up/raising head (intent/focused pose) or the hands out/hands forward slightly. I don't think the visual cue needs to rely on Shepard's movements, though. A slow zoom towards Shepard's face/eyes, or some other camera pan cue- with a minor audio cue as someone mentioned before- would work.



I do love the interrupt system, though! I'm still on my first playthrough, Paragon, but I have taken a couple of the Renegade interrupts because it felt appropriate to take an aggressive action at those times. I love the fact that it makes us more 'active participants' in conversations!

There already are audio cues for interrupts, only they're only present during the window of opportunity that you have to make one, not before. You know, just in case you're not noticing the big, colored, flashing symbols that pop up in those moments.

Even the audio cues are different depending on the kind of interrupt: the Renegade interrupts have a high pitched buzz and Paragon interrupts... sound like something else, but I can't remember what:whistle:.
