Renegade Shepard: Funny & Ridiculously Evil Moments [ME1]

Experience some of the funniest and ridiculously evil renegade Shepard moments from Mass Effect.
If you haven't completed a renegade Shepard play through, then I'd highly suggest you do so (if you can stomach some of the insanely evil choices). Mass Effect has some of the very best morality choices out of all the Bioware titles, and I have to say this game is defiantly a favourite in my opinion.

he meant their species in a general term which was true. He wasn't talking about individuals. Actually both of those gentleman are outcasts and not the prototypical representation of their race. So I doubt they were even offended.

[@xshullaw]

ME1 Renegade was a little over the top, and it feels like Bioware didn't want to lean in on being legitimately evil and cruel. Mass Effect 2 and 3 Renegade had their funny moments, but also was plain mean or downright *heartless* on many occasions.

[@Ghosy01]

Mass effect 1 renegade was heartless efficient machine mass effect 3 renegade is a war criminal

[@GrindyVine]

​@@xshullawand not just, but i felt like in dialogue wheel. Every bottom choice felt like you're being an asshole to someone (even your own teammates)

[@kingtonsiljockey528]

"IM THE GEWD GUY LOLOLOLOLOL"

[@seagullman87]

Think a lot of writers have trouble writing "mean" or "heartless" actions that come across as natural reactions. It doesn't help that a lot of people have some baseline level of empathy for others, even for fictional characters. So for a lot of us, many of these Renegade responses just come across as over the top and unnecessary for the given situations.

[@lalas3590]

2:17 > The Council is suspicious of humanity generally. > Saren is a trusted operative. > Udina tryharding at being as diplomatic as poosible. > Shepard blowing everything up by publicly threatening to kill Saren in front of the Council.

"I don't think you're supposed to be in here Shepard" "No I'm not. Are you?" 😂😂😂

[@juliab7934]

I can never go full renegade because it gets too depressing later on, but I love watching these videos because being the galaxy’s biggest asshole can also be so damn funny

[@Fragenzeichenplatte]

Same. I could never play that way but Bioware is very dedicated to even offer these these options.

[@edwardv1255]

I tried to rush through that mission a few days ago and pressed dialogue a bit haphazardly, then suddenly I punched him in the face. Didn't even know it was an option. As I always go paragon, I never pressed it, just figured the "I can shut him up!" option was just gonna be a threat.

I was in tears laughing at that too lmao

[@qazxsw13]

Mass Effect 1 has some of the most comically serious renegade dialogue and actions in like the entire series. It's amazing how even though ME2 introduced interrupts and stuff, Mass Effect 1 still kinda beats it in raw dialogue when you're doing your best to be the biggest dick in the universe.

[@emmanuel4989]

ME1 renegade is smart ass shepard. ME2 renegade is badass shepard. Both were hilarious. ME3 shepard was the coldest and wasn't very funny at all.

6:55 You can practically see Tali's face.

[@Fragenzeichenplatte]

Evil Shepard is incoherent. He doesn't have time to "waste" it on the enslaved colonists and is fine with killing them but he also think it's bad that the thorian enslaved them. So what is it? Guy wants to save the galaxy but kills unarmed people without a second thought. Seems like the only reason why he's fighting against Saren is because he's afraid of the competition.
