Any other tips to maximize fun/good times? Play as a vanguard. Always be charging. Easily the most fun class in 2 and 3.

Is there any way to change classes in the later games if you bring your save file through? Like can I be an adept in 1, an infiltrator in 2, and a vanguard in 3 but still have my choices carry through?

The release stuff is a whole loving mess right how nobody seems sure about. PC looks to be midnight local, but console has changed twice in the last week or so. People on Reddit are saying 3pm GMT Friday on Xbox, 3am GMT (so late Thursday for NA) for Playstation. But they could also be dumb and reading clocks wrong.

1-2 kind of justifies the “yeah we threw a biotic amp in you” kind of class change, but it’s kind of funny in story if you go from like Adept to a non biotic class

There's no preorder goodies right? I'm trying to decide where to buy it on PC. Greenmangaming has it for $52 I think but for Origin only. Otherwise its just a choice between giving your money to Gabe or EA I guess.

Generally Paragon/Renegade are the "gently caress the rules I have charisma" buttons that you press to avoid facing bad consequences for your decisions. They don't really pop up much when talking with your squadmates, you just chose whether or not to be an rear end in a top hat to them directly. Since Renegade has to be a valid path through all 3 games, it won't be quite as satisfying as full Paragon but it's not going to make the game radically worse. I would say for first playthrough it's a bit much because there's a lot of space racism involved, which isn't really impactful when you don't know much about the setting. I would generally recommend Paragon first, then Renegade, then maybe a FailShep run.

Actually one thing I've always found kind of odd in all the ME games is how they make a big deal out human biotics being unusual but never, ever acknowledge that Shepard is one if you are playing as an Adept/Vanguard/Sentinel.

Caesar Saladin posted:Is renegade fine for a first playthrough or is it kinda a goofy way to play through the game? Does it ruin character specific stories or anything? One problem with Renegade that runs throughout the entire series is that it can often be unpredictable whether your response will be cool badass or pointlessly cruel for no reason. For a first playthrough it's more fun to just take whatever dialogue choice feels right in the moment than trying to game it in any one direction.

Yeah, renegade works fine for a first playthrough. You can be a Loose Cannon who Gets The Job Done and just not pick the obvious space racism/Cerberus is good options, you still get enough points for all the major renegade checks.

I'd consider editing yourself max paragon/ renegade points in ME1, once those tools are available for the remaster.

Paragon is a single coherent character concept, Renegade tends to be more doing the opposite of Paragon regardless of whether it makes sense

Yeah unfortunately the issue with Renegade is that it's a couple of different character concepts smushed into one which all fall under the general umbrella of "rear end in a top hat" but entirely different flavours of it and it's not totally clear which one you're going to be with any given response. Like it's entirely reasonable to believe Shepard is an "ends justify the means" type without being a space racist, but unfortunately both of these are on the Renegade end of the spectrum.

Yeah, absolutely. It's a weird melange of "rebel anti-hero who cuts through the red tape" and "actually, just a horrendous monster" and you don't typically know which option is gonna be which. Paragon is just "hero" which is a pretty easy concept to keep consistent in a space adventure story. There are definitely a couple of dialogue options in ME1 where the Renegade dialogue choice is described as like, "I don't trust him" and then you click it and Shepard goes, "you can never trust a turian" like the world's most bigoted action figure.

You can make a perfectly consistent Mostly-Renegade character, maybe 80%. You never go Full Renegade, that's the key. P.S. I am considering being a crazy person and going for full achievements in a single run - has anyone done a level 1 insanity build? I've beaten insanity a couple of times but I was always at least level 50 when I did so.

Yeah we don't know how the rebalanced XP will shake out, but there doesn't seem to be a max level achievement. 'Kills' are now across all 3 games (easy peasy) and the companions are only 'complete 5 missions' with them. This may be a hurdle - if they only count main missions then it will be impossible to get all 6, if they count basically any 5 missions then it will be pretty easy to get as well. There are also 'use x power 25 times' achievements but one of the devs has said on reddit that ordering a squadmate to use that power will also count now meaning that with swapping around companions for their particular achievements will also make that doable.

Not out of the box with old stuff, but it's still UE3. Many modders will port their stuff for sure. bagrada posted:There's no preorder goodies right? I'm trying to decide where to buy it on PC. Greenmangaming has it for $52 I think but for Origin only. Otherwise its just a choice between giving your money to Gabe or EA I guess. Not for PC. Bestbuy has a steelbook and Gamestop has a poster but only the console versions are available in physical format. Caesar Saladin posted:Is renegade fine for a first playthrough or is it kinda a goofy way to play through the game? Does it ruin character specific stories or anything? I think Renegade probably works best first because once you've gotten to know and like the characters, it's harder to be such a dickhole to them.

It makes me feel like I'm playing Arnold in an action movie. The paragon and renegade scales are completely separate from each other so the only way this hurts your paragon score is if you take a renegade interrupt that locks you out of a paragon action All games with a morality system should do this btw because being a paragade loving owns Some days the unimpeachable hero of the galaxy is in a bad mood, and you happen to be standing in front of a large glass window several thousand meters above sea level between said hero and where he/she needs to be. It happens.

Not in 2. They're actively fighting each other in 2. 2's system is "Of all the opportunities your current progress in the game has made available to you (even ones you haven't taken yet but can at the moment), what percentage did you pick that were Paragon/Renegade?". That brackets part means that when you set foot in a new hub (say the first time you land on Illium) your score takes a fall because all these new opportunities for points have appeared that you haven't taken yet. It really only matters for Jack/Miranda though. You can end up triggering that kind of early and if you don't have enough to settle it on the spot recovering the one you disagree with needs a very high percentage of Paragon or Renegade. You can still take the Renegade interrupts and have enough Paragon left over for that, but you need to be thorough and if you did a few too many Renegade dialogue options or even neutral ones you might not pull it off.

Yeah in 2 it's an opportunity based system. It's actually a 3 way fight between Renegade vs Paragon vs Neutral responses when you had the option of Renegade vs Paragon. With a run-in by 'opportunities that exist but you haven't yet taken' holding a steel chair. In 1 and 3 they're just bars, and 3 goes a step further and works off a generalized reputation score raised by any response for most things.

I think it's possible to reach level 60 in a single playthrough of ME1 and I might have even done it, but it requires you to do things like exit the Mako to kill every Thresher Maw and Geth Prime on foot.

One of the changes they announced for LE is that you no longer get diminished experience for Mako kills, so unless they did an EXP rebalance to accommodate for that hitting level 60 shouldn't be too painful.
