yeah the band ending is wicked.......you kille the council claim ou did it on purpose because they were holding humanity back.....then you put the ambassador in charge of an all human galactic council....and I swear to god it's pretty much a george bush speech the guy gives talking about how the galazy will fall in line behind the humans out of fear......


oh and you convince serin to shoot himself in the face.....and yes.....the bullet does come out the other end.....althugh this apens whether you threaten or charm him....it's still pretty fucked up...the ambassador loves me....everyone else looks at me with disgust.....

Loved the evil ending. Now if Bioware woulc treat it as canon, ME2 could be really interesting.

You could probably do that on a good guy, considering all of the choices are available to you. Kinda wish they would make you play the bad guy throughout to get there.

I just created a red-headed bitch named German. Man, she is a total bitch, and entertaining. (Like when she decks that crazy scientist.) Can't wait to start backstabbing people in quests.

Any tips on some of the side quests for being evil? I rejected the consorts offer for help, but I'm not sure if that was the right way to get Renegade points or not. Unlike the good guy, sometimes it's not as simple as hitting the bottom choice all the time.

Using the intimidate option almost always results in renegade points.

Yeah, I knew that, but I'm talking about the less obvious ones. They had to have coded some different ways of completing some quests in a evil fashion that involved more than doing the exact same thing except with bottom choice conversations.

Like, do I reject the consort and then somehow backstab her with the other related quests?

It's kind of hard for me to remember specific instances, but I think in some cases you'll want to advance the conversation beyond the initial one, two, or three "evil" options (ie-bottom right) by picking the neutral one THEN picking the "tell me more" option (top left, bottom left). Then that may open up potential for a different solution. Sorry I can't think of anything in particular.

If the assignment in the journal has gone gray, there's nothing more to do with that person/place. As for the consort... eh, I think there's some room for variety there. You can probably do the opposite of what she wants by not changing the Turian general's mind or not dealing with that Elcor. Can't say since I played it mostly the same on my two playthroughs. In the first I just gave her the "no reward needed, ma'am" biz, and the second I took her money..... then her body as well!

I got renegade points with the Consort mission by being a dick to the general (in the end using intimidate to get him to listen). He listened and started acting right, and then I did the rest of the mission like normal. I only got like +2 renegade points, but also no paragon points either.
