Soooo....Mass Effect 3

[Pesmerga]

3. There is no good/evil-indicator saying you sway to the side of light or dark. Couple this with the first two arguments, and you get a system of player choice that feels like TRUE roleplaying: you make the choice you believe is right for each individual situation you're in. The way I'm playing ME3 at the moment, I'm "making a paragon character", meaning I always choose the upper right option on the conversation wheel, regardless of what I feel is correct for me and my character.

Why are you "making a paragon character"?

Why not play the game, even know which outcome is which, as your character would determine? There's nothing stopping you, past the fact that you know which answer will get which paragon/renegade response. I've racked up my fair share of renegade points because that's how I feel my character should be played. Hell, my character has carried a grudge against someone from the original Mass Effect, and I got to play out that confrontation in true renegade style (good lord, I loved being able to do that too), despite the fact I'm pretty much a Paragon.

Ultimately, keeping the positions consistent on the wheel allows people who don't like to stray into one extreme at all, while allowing those of us who want to roleplay a certain type the option to do so, so long as we allow ourselves to do so.
