User descriptionThe Mass Effect Legendary Edition drops tomorrow and many returning fans are prepping to board the Normandy once more. This Monks & Necromancers vs The Paragon expansion for Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape features all components to play two new Classes, the Monks and the Necromancers, with 2 Heroes each, and a new Roaming Monster: The Paragon. Once this crystalline giant is killed, he drops an orb that must then be delivered to an altar near enemy territory, Capture the Flag-style.Masters over life and death. Killing the Prime Guardian is only the first step to swinging the game in your team's favor. Paragon has the Prime Guardian, whose effect is similar to the Baron buff - but there's a catch.
First of all i would like to say that this review is based on my observations and my. So of course i wanted to get my hands on it and try out what it has to offer. There has been a lot of discussion about Overprime in the last weeks and people rating it one of the best paragon remake out there. Why should you choose?An Honest Overprime review after 40 ish games. But that leaves one question: do you go renegade or paragon? Let's dive in. My number one piece of advice for newbies going in is to be aware of the morality choices to ensure you don't hover too much in the middle to avoid losing out on choice options.

Paragon Game Rating How To Respond To
The reason is that they are going with their gut on how to respond to certain situations, meaning that the paragon and renegade levels are too intertwined, so there aren't enough points to lean in one particular direction. The common mistake I see a lot of people make when talking about Mass Effect is players saying they "didn't know" there were options to save so and so or options to make 'X' decision. With each paragon action taken and dialogue option chosen, you're earning points for "blue." This is the same with renegade, noted as "red." Both sides dictate how your Shepard reacts to certain situations and how others react to them.Throughout the entire trilogy, there are pivotal moments that can have small consequences (such as an ally potentially turned away) but they can also have massive ones as well, up to and including wiping out entire races.

Sometimes, that's a bane, because paragon options often make your work to save the galaxy a little harder certain quests might take longer to complete. Not all paragon choices are sunshine and roses, but they are geared towards being more politically correct and more thought out. Kinder, less rash, more "by the books." If you like being the "good guy," this is the route for you. These choices center around a more diplomatic approach.
This type of Shepard does whatever needs to be done to get the mission accomplished, a real "the ends justify the means" type of character. Punch anyone you want, throw bad guys out the window, threaten those that stand in your way. In Mass Effect 2, this option is my favorite.
TLDRAt the end of the day, play how you want to play. If you dedicate yourself to this path, be prepared: some of the renegade choices in Mass Effect 3 are rough. It's a very different experience, especially if you commit to the renegade options 100%. Characters that paragon-Shepard becomes close to suddenly don't like the thought of being a part of their crew.

I would recommend starting with paragon just so you can see how truly meaningful some of these in-game relationships are, but really? Do you. Play around with renegade one playthrough and paragon another.
