Hello everybody, hope everyone has had a good weekend. This week I have started a replay of the Mass Effect trilogy. I am playing the opposite of the way I played the first time I played through it, so I am going full renegade female Shepherd.

They tried to make the dichotomy between renegade and paragon akin to Loose cannon/by the book cop, but Renegade Shepherd is honestly steers between total asshole and complete psychopath, to which I’ve developed headcannon that my Shepherd is self conscious about being a women in a position of leadership and believes the way to gain respect is to overcompensate and act like a total murderous lunatic to show she’s “one of the boys”

Anyway, hope everyone has a good week

      I finally got around to it a month or two ago. Phenomenal game that really wears its influences on its sleeve. Act 3 scaling was definitely a bit wonky (to the point where I was equipping the new Picto for normal encounters but removing it for bosses) but other than that gripe it was genuinely such an incredible game.
