Optimal Paragon/Renegade Choices

Making optimal Paragon or Renegade choices in Mass Effect 3 can significantly impact your gameplay, affecting character interactions, mission outcomes, and the overall narrative. These choices often present themselves during critical dialogue sequences or mission decisions, granting Morality Points that shape Shepard's reputation. Carefully consider each choice to align with your desired playstyle and story progression.

  • Opening Mission Dialogue: During the initial mission on Earth, after being introduced to Admiral David Anderson, you will have dialogue choices that award Morality Points.
  • Kaidan or Ashley on Mars: Your choice regarding Kaidan or Ashley on Mars is a significant decision. This choice is influenced by previous decisions made in Mass Effect (if carrying over a save) or during Character Creation.
  • Grissom Academy: Deciding whether to complete the Grissom Academy mission has consequences.
  • Priority Tuchanka: The decision to cure the Genophage or not during Priority Tuchanka is a major moral choice with far-reaching implications.
  • Samara: Ardat-Yakshi Monastery: Choices made during Samara's mission at the Ardat-Yakshi Monastery will affect her fate and potentially other characters.
  • Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons: Completing or skipping the Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons mission will influence the outcome of the Quarian-Geth conflict.
  • Priority: Rannoch - Quarian or Geth: The ultimate decision on Priority: Rannoch to side with the Quarians or the Geth is a pivotal moment in the game.
