I never got why being a paragon in ME1 was much beneficial. Everyone treated you like garbage. Forgive me if I’m not repaying the favor. In ME 2 (which was the best of the series) being good felt better and the game was paced so you could let the story breathe. ME3 I felt rushed and couldn’t enjoy the game at all. I played it through twice and didn’t enjoy either time though.
In Me2, being good = your crew survived, and being bad = death.
Just a stupid, stupid system that didn't get criticized anywhere near enough. At least in the KOTOR games the "dark side" playthrough was grounded in you being ruthless, cold, and cunning when it came to meeting your objectives.
The ME games don't even try to replicate that. Renegade = congrats, you're an asshole. Was so dumb
