--- Quote from: Torlek on 08 Nov 2020, 22:53 ---I always characterize Renegade runs in ME as very-selfish chaotic neutral. To a casual observer, most of asshole-Shepard's actions will appear evil. But inflicting harm or suffering usually isn't the purpose, it's just the quickest way to get what asshole-Shepard wants.

--- End quote ---

I agree with this, but it's a bit sabotaged by poor writing. Asshole Shepard is frequently an asshole for no reason. Sometimes he's an asshole when being an asshole works against his own best interests. He can't manage greasy, dishonest politeness even when that's what will do the job, because the writer can't imagine anything more sophisticated than being an obvious asshole.

I don't do Renegade playthroughs in most games. I did dip my toe in it in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, in that I completed some of the evil quests in order to experience the content, but there are some lines I won't cross. Like blowing up Megaton, I'm never going to do that.

Gee Renee if you had bad experiences with internet hook ups and one night stands then maybe try not having internet hook ups and one night stands

Seriously though what exactly was she thinking would happen with these guys?

Gnabberwocky:
She was thinking they'd be decent human beings--and from what we know, it seems like many were (Shaun/Florida Birthmark)--because there's no reason for her to expect that someone she's never met is guaranteed to be an asshole.

I've got nothing against hook ups and one night stands (and I was always appreciative because I'd always want more) but when you hook up with a guy that is specifically after sex then don't be surprised or disappointed when that same guy hits on your roommate because they want more sex

Yeah it'd be nice if they weren't like that but you're kidding yourself if you expect your tinder hook up is always going to be a good guy

No citation but I'm guessing that the percentage of douche bag guys on Tinder is greater than the percentage not Tinder

Thrillho:
Those are some broad-ass strokes, Chris.


Removing that the internet has been a part of how loads of people socialise for decades now so that kind of assessment is getting increasingly passé, am I correct in understanding that what you are saying is that people who hook up with people they meet on the internet, or have one night stands, should expect - or perhaps are asking for - mistreatment from the person they have met?

Is any guy who is only interested in sex on a one-off occasion a douche by default? This is an impossible thing to achieve without such?
