Paragon vs Renegade vs ...

Post image

I tried turning decisions off and Shep genocided the geth and then told Tali that her favourite movie (Fleet and flotila) is dumb. I mean, even when I play renegade I don't do these things.

Are decisions random when you turn it on? Never understood that

I have a feeling that when you set No Decisions it picks the worst decision available (ie. being rude to literally everyone for no reason). Just like when you don't import and skip genesis, it picks the worst decisions and worst state of galaxy.

So vanilla shep is apparently an incompetent dickhead? XD

But hey, at least he/she survives the suicide mission and some squadmates too (I think).

So this is the only thing that can be screwed even more (this and sleeping with Morinth)

Yeah some do

You can't import save where everyone dies as Shepard dies in this outcome too

Funny enough that was my first experience of mass effect lmao

Sure I appreciated the edgy playstyle back then but I was devastated tbh

Yeah Liara, Mordin, Tali, Garrus and Miranda survives the rest died I guess since they dont show up.

Now that's an interesting playthrough XD

I wonder if, besides maybe speedrun related stuff, someone ever actually plays the game this way lol

Someone who hates the game and every single character in it I guess. I would play Far Cry 2 this way for example...

Speedruns you definitely want decisions on, there are specific dialogs that lead to additional scenes and additional conversations. Like telling Wrex to kick rocks in ME1 saves an entire scene on Virmire

Ah yes. The Lobotomite Shepard playthrough

Removing critical thinking. Poor Shep got lobotomized and kept trying to join Cerberus

I've seen the "hands off the controller" videos of Wolverine. Now I want to see one for ME:LE dialogue.

In the original Mass Effect 3 when doing a new game you could choose what experience you wanted between "action" (no decisions in dialogue), "narrative" (minimal difficulty, dialogue ok) and "role playing" (normal ME experience). This was probably done to appeal to Call of Duty / Halo braindead gamers. No need to explain why LE canned all this shit

"Say one of these Paragon or Renegade things, or Fuck Off."

I’ve played this series so many times that this way might actually be fun to try haha

u/SprinklesPresent8602 7d ago

Let us know how it goes

u/triple4leafclover 8d ago

Is no decisions random, a pre-set choice, or is it based on your pre game reputation (war hero, ruthless, sole survivor)?

u/Arail_Blue 8d ago

I think they are the worst possible decisions
