    There’s also those wild explosions of completely unnecessary violence.

    Shooting past someone in shock’s head or decking a reporter for doing her job.

    Renegade in mass effect is just the arsehole button. You’re not evil, you’re not even more effective, you’re just behaving antisocially.

    you can still be a complete fucking psycho doing paragon. Like being corrupt as fuck about endorsements on the citadel.

      Tbf, even in my Paragon runs, I always punched that reporter in the face.

      But yeah, the one Renegade run I did was brutal. Like you just fucking shoot an ally for disagreeing with you? And you basically lock yourself out of some allies? Nah, that’s not my canon, here’s hoping they do better with ME4.

        Dude… she’s just doing her job. Like it sucks but hitting someone in the face is something you only do when you’re ok with killing them.

        Yeah it’s a game but what sort of fucked up fantasy is that?

          She’s a Space Breitbart “reporter” though. That said, Paragon is the better path, you dismantle her verbally on air as the first Human Specter, does way more good than just punching a fool.

            I can’t remember, I thought it was just tabloid garbage not Nazi propaganda.

            Also murder is a bit far

              She’s aligned with the Humanity First types. Breitbart might be a bit too far, maybe more like the New York Post. Tabloid racism and toeing the line of supporting fascism sometimes mixed with actual investigative journalism (of political opponents)

                Yeah sure, so like shove her away or whatever but she’s no more frustrating than any of the myriad of obstructive people you encounter.

                I’ve been hit in the face. It’s a fucking extreme thing to do to someone (source just trust me).
