Commander Shepard’s Paragon and Renegade scores affect the availability of special “good” or “bad” dialogue options with significant impact. In Mass Effect, a higher score will unlock potential ranks for the Charm and Intimidate skills, where Shepard must invest skill points to make new dialogue choices available.
What is the difference between Paragon and Renegade?
Paragon Interrupts are often altruistic, compassionate and understanding actions, while Renegade Interrupts are abrasive, violent and commanding.
Should I be paragon or renegade?
Being Paragon or Renegade will greatly impact Shepard’s dialogue and quick-time actions throughout the games. Overall, it can be said that Renegade Shepard’s dialogue is much funnier and more memorable. After all, Paragon Shepard is patient and kind which leaves little room for “creativity”.
Does Paragon and Renegade carry over?
Shepard’s level, talents, specialization and equipment all carry over, but Paragon / Renegade scales, weapon manufacture licenses, and medi-gel / grenade stock upgrades are reset, as are your Codex entries and assignments. Any combat, biotic or tech achievements will be usable in any new career.
Should I play Paragon or Renegade?
Is a renegade bad?
Renegade isn’t evil. It’s efficient. Unless you’re playing Mass Effect 1. In which case literally all your decisions cost you war assets.
Is there a way to max out Paragon and Renegade?
There is one way you can get both paragon and renegade to maximum without spending too many points to max them out. Everytime you start a new game with a character who’s already beaten the game, everytime after you become a spectre, it automatically increases your charm and intimidate skills by one point.
How many points do Paragon and Renegade bars carry over?
The Paragon and Renegade bars are the only ones that carry over. A maxed bar will give you 190 points into the corisponding bar in Mass Effect 2. It’s worth taking the extra minute or so to max both bars.
Do you have to transfer Paragon Points to ME1?
Because of the way ME2 calculates whether or not you qualify for paragon/renegade options, it is ideal to have as many points transfer over from ME1 as you can. Like the above poster said, if you play entirely paragon/renegade, then it doesn’t matter if you max both.
How many Paragon Points do you get for intimidate?
Unlike every other stat, which unlock more Points to buy through levelling up, the Charm and Intimidate stats only open up by earning Paragon and Renegade points, respectively. You initially start the game with three points open for purchase in both Charm and Intimidate.
