It’s all just a series of what in the absolute hell decisions while the people around my Shepard continued to contextualize her as a savior. You can also kill Mordin yourself and prevent him from distributing the cure for the Genophage to the Krogan, really doubling down on the idea that Renegade Shepard isn’t just some vigilante concerned about saving folks, they’re just a downright awful human being. I don’t believe it - it’s too jarring of a juxtaposition. Our hero of the Reaper war, Commander Shepard, is supposed to abandon a factory full of desperate people in favor of helping Zaeed so this man doesn’t have a hissy fit and get tilted and die at the end of Mass Effect 2. I know Vido did some truly heinous shit, I know Zaeed goes off the rails incensed by his revenge - but the choice is absurd. In Zaeed’s loyalty mission, Mass Effect asks Shepard to choose between letting a factory of workers burn to death or chasing down Zaeed’s enemy - Vido Santiago. The Paragon option should’ve been to shoot Archer, but the Renegade choice leaves David with his abuser under the guise of “for the greater good.” Even outside of your own personal choices between Renegade and Paragon options, the way others characterize Shepard leads me to believe this is just unbelievably cruel - needlessly so - for the sake of some evil brownie points. The Paragon option let me rescue David from that monster - and I don’t even think that went far enough. I look at things like the Overlord DLC, which gives you the gross option of leaving David with his abusive brother, Archer, who’s torturing him in a hellish experiment. I described my Shepard as evil when discussing it with another fan recently and was met with some pushback, but I can’t think of much else more fitting. Please, Garrus, don’t flirt with me while my face is literally breaking apart.īut weird glow-face aside, that’s not even my biggest beef with Mass Effect’s Renegade options. Chakwas simply offers to fix her scars, and in a series where giant space cuttlefish are rolling up to commit their terrifying ritualistic genocide - I still have a little trouble with believing something like this. Everyone around you is alarmingly calm about the fact that Shepard’s face is cracking apart, Dr. In my whopping one Renegade playthrough, Shepard’s face began to crack and glow, a constant reminder of her violent leanings with the subtlety and grace of a cartoon villain. In case there was ever any doubt in Shepard’s alignment, Bioware beats you over the head with a bunch of horribly exaggerated facial features. In a Renegade run, Shepard is almost comically nasty.
