Morality System in Mass Effect 3 is determined by Paragon And Renegade Meters. These meters track your choices throughout gameplay. The Paragon meter increases when your choices are noble, cooperative, or self-sacrificing. Paragons achieve their goals by doing the right thing in the right way. The Renegade meter increases when your choices are aggressive, selfish, or ruthless. Renegades achieve their goals by any means necessary. This page features a guide on the following lines that contribute to Paragon or Renegade.
How does Morality Work?
The Morality System in the Mass Effect series is determined from your actions, these actions are divided into two types which are how Commander Shepard responds through dialogue and using Paragon or Renegade Interrupt actions.
This mechanic is important because the choices that you make dictates how characters react, it provides more options, it increases Shepard's reputation, and applies small or big consequences and events that heavily affect pivotal moments throughout the series. One note to remember, there is no penalty for mixing Paragon and Renegade choices.
What is Paragon?
Paragon Dialogue Lines in Mass Effect 3 are indicated with the color Blue, choosing paragon dialogue lines tend to have Shepard respond to a more diplomatic approach, kinder, less harsh, and more of a soldier who abides by the rules written in the book. If you are the type who wants to follow the righteous path and who wants to be on the good side of everyone, then this is the path for you.
However, not all moments or decisions that you need to make require you to be good, sometimes, you may need to put your foot down and be firm in order to end up with a positive solution - choosing paragon lines adds points towards Shepard's reputation of being good.
What is Renegade?
Renegade Dialogue Lines in Mass Effect 3 are indicated with the color Red, choosing renegade dialogue lines center towards Shepard being ruthless, head-headed, firm, straightforward, and sometimes mean. Certain situations such as being threatened or questioned in a wrong way make total sense that you use Renegade dialogue lines, or if you want to make a statement. But if you are after building a relationship with your crew and even wanting to have a Romance, then choosing Renegade dialogue lines won't benefit it.
If you act like a bossy commander and do not show interest in them, they tend to feel distant instead of being close to you. If you are prepared for heavy consequences and aware of the challenges affected by Renegade options, then this is the path for you. Apart from that, having a high Renegade bar in Shepard's reputation will cause his/her appearance to have those trademark glowing red eyes and facial scars.
How Does Interrupt Work?
Apart from choosing a paragon or renegade dialogue line, Mass Effect 3 also has a feature that contributes towards Shepard's Morality/Reputation. A Paragon or Renegade interrupt is an action that allows Commander Shepard to take direct action which is often more physical, this triggers during pivotal moments of a conversation or a situation. This can be identified when you see it blinking at the bottom-right hand of the screen.
Renegade Actions are more violent or firm actions such as Shepard shooting or physically assaulting a character, while Paragon Actions revolve around Shepard trying to reason out or use less harmful actions. Renegade Interrupt Actions trigger a metal gong sound when it is used, while Paragon Interrupt Actions will play an uplifting hum sound. Interrupts are totally optional and it's up to you on how and when you want to use them. Interrupts are more of a moral choice of the player, not choosing a Paragon Interrupt does not contribute to adding Renegade Points towards Shepard's reputation, vice-versa - regardless, you should try it out, you never know what could happen.
How Does it Look Like?
On your squad/powers screen, you’ll see a bar made up of a mix of red and blue. The red represents your Renegade points, while the blue represents your Paragon points. Reputation points that aren’t Paragon or Renegade don’t get their own color – they make the bar get bigger while keeping the same red/blue ratio.
Note that the bar has lines marking various points of progression. Key dialog options at important moments in the game are locked off – you can only take them if your reputation is high enough – and each of those lines marks a checkpoint.
