    LoL gets less fun the higher level everything is : /

    the stakes get ludicrously high and people do shit which is extremely demoralizing and infuriating like zoning all the time

    it sort of turns into a different game

    a game that can be fun but you have to rely on your teammates so much more than you did in the early levels. if they're not with you then odds are you will get rolled hard.

    also they really should have replaced the beer cap with an upside down visor or baseball cap or something

    This is a very odd opinion.

    Why?

    I'm a stickler for consistency and the love story wasn't to my liking. Most grievous, Howl the wizard was an absent-minded, narcissistic genius who needed a woman's presence to tame him and give him a center and I HATE THAT MESSAGE.

    i assumed it felt horrible because i was putting it in my right eye and the one i lost before was a left contact

    and also my left eye is cursed with astigmatism so the left contact is shaped to deal with that

    Oh, well that second bit of information could account for that, too. If you just had a normal left in a normal right it wouldn't necessarily feel horrible, but your vision would be wonky likely. The astigmatism changes things, though.

    1) After the first four storyline planets (Noveria, Feros, Dig Site, and Virmwhatever) how much more of the story is left?

    2) Once the main story is over, can I go back and do any sidequests or is the game just over?

    3) Is it possible to get high paragon AND renegade points? I noticed that they're not mutually exclusive.

    1)the main story is nearly over after the first four, and once you return the citadel events happen such that you can't do any sidequests anymore, so get them done now

    2)I don't remember, but you can always just keep multiple saves

    I think the rest of the game amounts to as much time as Noveria and Feros, but probably more content.
    2) Once the main story is over, can I go back and do any sidequests or is the game just over?
    You can go back and do stuff.
    3) Is it possible to get high paragon AND renegade points? I noticed that they're not mutually exclusive.
    Yes, but some options require a high score in one or the other. Generally speaking, you can do some of both without really screwing yourself over, but sometimes that approach will mean that you don't have enough points to Charm or Intimidate someone. I think. Best to use a few skill points on each to make sure.

    What I think happened was that there's the charm option and the intimidate option. I tried the charm option, didn't like how he reacted, and then just thought "fuck it" and shot him.

    Had I gone down the intimidate options, I would have scored a few renegade points. Instead it just registered a single attempt at charm.

    Nah. You don't have to constantly pick one or the other. Don't try to be balanced, but just do whatever. I was renegade but I chose paragon when it felt right.

    And I shot people when it felt good.
