    I tried that.

    The silly cow wouldn't go there.

    I managed to take cover launch a warp (which didn't work the sixty other times I launched it) Popped a volley of inferno rounds into his face reloaded, re-buffed my shields and finished him off.

    It's just frustrating that you can't use charge on the bastard.

    Everyone's like "Woah that part is hell" but when I did it, the pyro guy was dumb enough to show a tiny bit of his canister around the corner. Cue a second of careful aiming and a nice, chunky explosion.

    I downloaded the Hammerhead DLC today and played a little, finally beat the platform part of the Collector Ship but now I'm stuck at the goddamn Praetorian. Manged to kill off all the regular guys, kept my team going and when that fucker was at 20% armor he got me. D:

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    Okay, so I just finished the Archangel mission and I missed an interrupt. When
    Garrus hands you the sniper rifle to have a look at the mercenaries, there's a renegade interrupt that I didn't see in time.

    What happens? Do you just waste a dude and smirk? I hope you just waste a dude and smirk.

    it's pretty bullshit

    basically any interrupt that involves shooting anything nets you renegade points

    also, trying to play "Pure Paragon" or "Pure Renegade" in ME2 makes absolutely zero sense

    because trying to pick all the Renegade or Paragon options all the time will make your actions make no fucking sense

    like talking with the Illusive Man, sometimes the Renegade options are "FUCK CERBERUS AND FUCK YOU, I DO THINGS MY WAY"

    and other times it's like "RIGHT, PRAISE HUMANITY AND CERBERUS ALL THE WAY"

    even people who are consistently dickheads are consistent about what they are dickheads about

    I believe you can't side with Miranda instead of Jack after they become loyal, then go and make up with Jack afterwards, unless you're full one way or the other.

    both ME1 and ME2 "favor" Paragon points

    basically, Paragon points are way, way easier to get than Renegade points

    like by a lot

    because most side-quests, the "I am interested in your situation and want to help" is the Paragon option (and nets you Paragon points) whereas the Renegade option is "Fuck off, I don't care" and you don't get any Renegade points or XP or money or anything.

    so basically, if you want to do all the sidequests in either ME game you basically have to choose Paragon options some of the time

    in ME2, there's a couple of quests that will net you Renegade points in addition to Paragon ones, but that's about it

    i guess it's reasonable, since ultimately the game is about how you are the hero of the fucking galaxy

    even if you are kind of a douche

    you're still doing the right thing

    this is untrue

    you just need to be 3/4 one way or the other

    same with
    tali/legion aftermath

    the one i mentioned in the first spoiler is literally the hardest paragon/renegade check in the game and the only time it was ever an option for me was when i was making a character who basically had a full paragon bar by that point in the game anyway (which means actually using that choice would make NO SENSE)

    it is the only time, on any playthrough, my options have been greyed out

    which is pretty annoying

    then again i wish there wasn't alignment bars anyway

    dragon age had the right of it

    fuck alignment bars, but your partymembers might be like "whoa shepard that ain't right"

    For the Tali/Legion aftermath on my past two runs, both renegade I've been unable to make them stop without taking sides because the renegade response is always greyed out even though my renegade levels were above 3/4 the first time and 90% full the second time. I had to side with Tali, then apologize to Legion to fix things.

    hearing shit like this really makes me wonder how those checks are made because i am beginning to think it's not as simple as how full your bars are

    because i've had a completely different experience with it, with the same renegade level

    which makes me wonder if it's some retarded mechanic of your points in one bar canceling out the other or some shit

    or if your character level is also factored into it

    it fucking better not be
