precision posted:If you've never done a full trilogy Female Renegade Space Racist playthrough you are missing out on literally 90% of the best dialogue in the entire franchise. I'm an actual RL girl so in general I play the girl version If there is a choice, I did Renegade the second time through but Renegade isn't exactly being a dick. It was occasionally fun to punch people .

marshmallow creep posted:As I recall, Earthborn Shep's parents were simply not present, like they gave her up for adoption or were deadbeats so she was raised on the streets, while Colonist Shep's parents all died in a slaver raid. Spacer Shep got to grow up normally, but Dad is conspicuously absent, and you only ever speak to your mother, who is never shown. You guys are setting this up to make it sound like Dad Ryder had an affair with Mom Shep.

Renegade in ME kind of runs the full spectrum from "gets results" to deranged psychopath. ME1 in particular allows to you to be pointlessly dickish like assassinating Shiala in cold blood or getting both Parsinni/Anoleis killed for no good reason.

Orchestrating a double homicide while keeping my hands bleached is one thing, but allowing a person to think less of me (and live) is quite another. Niceness is necessary.

No joke I did a trilogy run through as a celibate and it was pretty funny. You turn down so much tail and those impactful moments with what are the significant others are super flat.

DoggPickle posted:I'm like such a nice person that I can't even be a dick in a videogame. Is that weird? Me too. I think part of it is the typical 'evil' path involves either cartoonishly unnecessary and random violence to show how much of a badass the protagonist is, or petty theft of tiny sums from poor people. Oddly enough, meting out street justice on bands of muggers / thieves / etc. and stripping the tattered clothes from their lifeless bodies is usually classified under the heading of 'good'.

At least in ME2 they sometimes got it right, like killing the Batarians in the Mordin mission was a Renegade choice but Mordin and everyone else lets you know that it was actually super cool and good because they were Bad Hombres

One of the first good/evil decisions in Fable was whether or not to save a little kid from bullies or rip up his teddy bear in front of him. Later on in the game I'd have no qualms about slaughtering whole villages just to drop the real estate prices, but hearing this lil kid start sobbing as he runs away would always make me so sad.

I loaded up ME3 on PC since it's free with Origin Access and I'm doing a trilogy run anyway, but I didn't expect to start over with the MP. Well, last night I smoked a lot of weed and thought it would be a totally great idea to start the MP grind over. You know how you get like 4 Starter and Gift Packs now because of all the free packs you missed, I guess? Guess what was in my literal first Free Pack. Literally my first pack. Valiant. loving. I. The loving gun that I spent lit-ter-rally 100s of hours grinding for on PS3.

I never really dug the paragon/renegade system. Alignment systems are universally dumb. I just chose the option that most fit what I figured Shepard would do. Renegade had the funniest outcomes in most cases, but sometimes you were just pointlessly cruel or dickish.

My favorite Shepard was "rear end in a top hat with a heart of gold", funny Renegade replies, but Paragon big decisions that aren't stupidly psychotic. Like the Hound. As long as you can still do something like that.

All three times. It's like that arguing couple outside your apartment in Sleeping Dogs. Punching them out becomes part of the daily routine.

Has there been any multiplayer footage released so far? It was good and cool in ME3 and I hope it is good again.

Monolith. posted:Cheat Engine is really easy to use. Do not put yourself through that again I got banned from the multiplayer shortly after the Geth was first added. I assume it's because I did this (since I can't think of what else I could have done). You think I'd be able to get them to lift my ban now? I never got to enjoy the multiplayer thanks to that.

I always liked having Miranda and Grunt with me because whenever you did some wacky violent poo poo it was like the part where Groot demolishes all those dudes in Guardians and Drax's face lights up.
