So out of twisted machoism, I'm currently playing a femshep uber-paragon xeno loving (literally) carebear.
Must. Resist. Urge. To. Slit. Wrists. Hurrrgh.
Para femshep's solution to everything is to kiss it and make it better. Hell, she'd probably stick her tounge down Saren's throat if it would save the galaxy.
I just want to finish the run so I can get back to punching people in the face like God intended.
I tried that once. Yeah, pure paragon hurts. Had to run a failshep and a standard badass-Shep at the same time to make up for it.
But it'll all be worth in in 3 if any of it comes back to bite her in her sanctimonious arse.
Paragon Shep will be going into the final fight of ME3 flanked by the Quarian Fleet, the entire geth species, a newly revived Krogan Empire and the collective might of the Council species.
Riding a Rachni Queen.
Renegade Shep gets three human redshirts and a Cerberus-issue moped.
Oh, pure renegade would be even worse, yeah.
Saying anything to TIM that is not a variant on "kiss my ass" would be wrong.
But going pure paragon means a lot of irritating little speeches about how Mordin is a bad person.
And anyone insulting the good Doctor ain't getting in the positive portion of my books.

Another reason I can't do pure either...I mean, I understand the necessity of some things...
I never had enough renegade points to break up Tali and Legion.
I couldn't justify the unmitigated asshole-for-sake-of-being-an-asshole decisions along the way there.
The paragon choice is about halfway for that one, by the way. The two fights have opposite requirements; Tali/Legion low paragon high renegade, Miranda/Jack high paragon low renegade
I have stared into Satan's asshole, and it fucking winked at me.

If people are nice to my Shepard, they get the paragon. If they are a dick to my Shepard, well, he isn't responsible for his actions. Basically I play him like Richard Sharpe. If you piss him him off he'll shove a broken telescope tube into your genitles.
I go about 90/10 paragon/renegade. I'm not fond of being a space asshole and I mainly gain renegade points through interrupts. Plus I like being a nice person, and saying slightly cheesy and silly things about the value of civilian lives.

Interesting.
I never really do paragon playthroughs so I never knew this.

I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Redoing my canon run now that I know that I won't be punished for letting people I don't like or care about die on collector mission for ME3. Need advice please. How do I kill off exactly only Jack and Jacob in collector base?

Don't upgrade the ship armor and send Jacob through the vents. Also, if you don't have Zaeed and Kasumi or like to take Garrus/Grunt/Zaeed to the final battle, send Mordin to escort the survivors back to the ship.

I sincerely appreciate the direct and practical answer.
...Are you implying only bad asses choose the hard way?
There's the right way, the wrong way, and the [strike]cowboy[/strike]Renegade Shep way.
And I don't think I can play Shep any other way than being Paragon to crewmates and civilians and Renegade to anyone who points a gun at me, mouths off, or looks at me sideways.
That Eclipse merc is never going to take the elevator down.

Ha! Hahaha! Because you push him out the window, right? I get the joke you made; I see what you did there.
Pure Paragon is awful, it's all. "Let's all hold hands and be best friends forever!" Fuck that! Sometimes you just gotta shoot a motherfucker, or throw him out a window, or snap his neck, or....
Of course, pure Renegade is also awful, pure Renegades are just pointless space-assholes.

The worst bit of pure paragon?
The condescending lectures.
I mean, it'd be tolerable if they were reserved for bad people, but most times renegade is at least somewhat reasonable?
Picking pure paragon doesn't even mean saying "I think there's a better way". It means saying the renegade option is for HORRIBLE PEOPLE who EAT PUPPIES.
I mean, Mordin is clearly torn up already. No need to be an asshole at him.
Yup - renegade to anyone who pulls a gun or mouths off or is generally irritating and / or a waste of time, paragon to the crew for the most part. Ended up with a very full renegade bar and a 3 block full paragon one - enough to break up Tali / Legion with renegade options and awesome terminator eyes. My femshep looks 110% badass.
the paragon options on mordin's loyalty are more asshole-ish than any renegade dialogue choice in the rest of the game
I know!
Mordin: "Genophage was necessary. No other way. But designed it to cause minimal damage. Stabilize population"
Paragon Shep: "You're a horrible monster Mordin! You eat puppies for breakfast, and kittens for dinner! You might not know who Hitler is, but you are literally worse than him!"
paragoning Jack is the best because she is completely baffled why you're being her friend/romance and Shepard can't give a decent answer besides her career as an amateur therapist
renegade just tells her to shut up and do her work

Wow, so much paragon hate. At least someone can make a recommendation to paragon shep without getting reminded who's in charge. Renegade Shepard is far more annoying to play. Sure you get to shoot more assholes, but you're the asshole. I'm amazed a pure renegade doesn't get dropped leaving the collector base.
I can't stand playing pure renegade. I need to stop and hug Tali to keep myself sane. Renegade is such an insecure childish pecker.
What always pissed me off is when that Asari merc pulls a gun on you and it's the "renegade" option to shoot her
Well, what it's going to be? Paragon? Both? Just like with shooting the LOKI's head off on Garrus's recruitment, renegade interrupt is linked to the "pull trigger" button in combat, which is why the interrupts are reversed left/right between PC and 360, left click and right trigger.
Points wise, renegade = violent action. Doesn't mean "evil."
If I had designed that scenario, Paragon interrupt would be saying something as she pulls the gun, neutral would be shooting her, and renegade would be... Shooting her in the leg as soon as you walk in.

Oh, sure, some paragoning is fine.
From experience, going either way majority is perfectly enjoyable.
And pure either way, you're a prick.
It's just I find Intimidate options generally more fun than charm for the big choices.
My Shepard is going to be the scariest person in the universe through mixed methods.
Everyone viewed as more of an asshole is getting shot dead, hostage taking ending in bullets, all that.
Everyone who's less of an ass and seems to be going for a title?
Talked down or blown off kneecaps to remind them that "Ultimate Badass" is taken, and if they would, they probably should stop trying in favor of... charity or something.

Well that's the trigger to shoot your gun. I know the Renegade interrupt on Archangel's mission to shoot the mech doesn't actually give you Renegade points, and I'm pretty sure shooting the mech in Overlord doesn't either.
If I never see another set of enemies arrive on a floating platform with scattered cover, I'll be just fine thanks.
Inexplicable chest height walls are the future!
I'm still not certain whether they're better or worse than the Dragonforce warehouses we used to fight through.
Nah, they streamlined the combat. Enemy waves will now teleport right behind your spellcasters, right when you're looking the other way, while your warriors are off fighting on the other side of the area.

Nah dude, it's all good. They're making the game more accessible by redoing the difficulty levels. Nightmare and Easy will be switched.

that's how my Shep rolls

Renegade is so much better.
The only paragon options I take are for when I am dealing with my own crew
Renegade Shep does it for the laughs and Paragon Shep does it because (s)he's not an idiot who will pass up an opportune moment to stack the deck.
Interesting.

You have no idea who she is or is going to shoot you with her gun
I'd say that's pretty renegade.
