Shepard: psychotic mass murderer Kelly: "I tattled on you." Shepard: "YOU MONSTER"

Mass Effect 2 Renegade : Hardcore leader of men, that's not afraid to get his hands dirty to achieve good results. Mass Effect 3 Renegade : Beelzebub in the flesh.

Me:Evrybody died in Mass effect 3, it was brutal.. Friend:Because of the ending? Me:Nah, I f*ckin' killed them all...

"Isn't killing my family enough?" *No* What a stone cold killer.

Everyone’s talking about Legion and Wrex, but Mordin’s is the most sad by far.

I played full paragon and have never seen any of these scenes. I feel dead inside

“You can’t just shoot me...” Famous last words

Harbinger: Oh look our boy Shepard, doing half of the job for us

Killing Mordin with the gun he himself gives you on Omega... you monster.

This is basically a compilation of every logical reason to let the Reapers destroy the galaxy.

Damn, I morally could not do these things

I usually like playing as Paragon but I make it a point to punch the reporter in all 3 games LOL

This unit has no soul because this video just destroyed it.

“I don’t know, he just went crazy…” god these scenes are heartbreaking, just watching these is filling me with shame.

Tali killing herself was possibly the saddest thing I have ever experienced. It happened in my first playthrough because I wasn't able to prevent her from getting exiled in ME2. That false paragon call to try and save her.... Its like they stabbed me right in the feels.

I cannot.... the renegade option on killing your own teammates... YOUR OWN FAMILY... IS NOT GOOD I CANNOT

"I'm your prisoner, what are you going to do, execute me in cold blood?" - man who was executed in cold blood

i never in 100 years could betray wrex :,(

I restarted entire campaigns to avoid some of these choices.

I want whatever rounds he has in these cutscenes, they rip straight through armor and shields

I will never ever betray Urdnot Wrex.

Who in their freaking right mind could shoot Dr Mordin Solus?

Watching Shepard go from being a harsh military man in ME1 to a harsher leader in ME2, gradually morphing into a sick psychopath without humanity in ME3 is pretty scary...

I see some people complain about renegade options in ME3, but in my opinion - it's one of the best things in this game. Every one gets a reality that he deserves. When you go full paragon - there's a ton of compromises to be made, but in the end - entire galaxy come to aid you in your war. Renegade always was easy, enjoyable, fun and most profitable way to play. And in ME3 they made you pay for what you done, shown you the consequences of your actions, and how galaxy became a lot more gruesome and dark place after your journey.

Ok, I legitimately cried watching the Legion death scene. And I’m not ashamed 😭😭😭

Damn Mordin went full hero mode right to the very end, respect to him whether you let him go there or shoot him

Mordin spent his whole life trying to fix the damage he did when he was younger. To not be able to fix his mistake is the worst death by far. No other contest.

Legion dying seemed the cruelest to me. He completely trusted Shepard and in his mind the Geth were defending themselves and made a wrong decision. He says that he never wanted wars between Geth and their creators and just wants his people to be alive and fully realized creatures. And when you tell him that you are willing to let his people die at the hands of an aggressive enemy during an unprovoked attack, he begs you to reconsider, saying that they would help retake earth and build the crucible. He tries to save his people and gets stabbed and then shot multiple times staring up at you with the blank expression that is weirdly one of the most human things I've seen in the game. You can see him shaking slightly more after each shot. Both of which can easily be attributed to him being a damaged machine, but I can't help but feel he's scared and hurt by what what you're doing to him. He looked up to you and trusted you. You were the person who vouched for him in ME2, you were the one who freed his people from Reaper control. You were his first friend and he's more than ready to stand with you to take back your planet and save the galaxy and you're shooting him over and over and over. He's never been betrayed and the one person he thought could trust to make the right decision is throwing him and his people away in favour of a race that attacked and tried to destroy him. It's the worst for me because it's like betraying and killing someone who has no reason to have anything but respect and admiration for you, all because you think that they're not worth saving. He doesn't understand why it's happening because to him it doesn't make sense but it's happening anyway. He doesn't understand why his friend would let his people die and he's scared that his friend is about to kill him. All of his self actualization says the opposite would happen and now everything he had learned, bringing him close to being an individual is being flipped and he die sad and confused.

Killing Legion hurts my soul

In ME2 the renegade options where badass - nearly a must take always In ME3 they were...wrong and i did never take them

Wrex goes to revenge his dying species by killing the person who destroyed any hope of survival of his species. Shepard: idk he went crazy.

“You can’t just shoot me” *BANG*

Killing all the Quarians is the cruelest Paragon choice in all of Mass Effect.

Renegade in ME 1 and 2: Badass hardcore soldier Renegade in ME3: Goddamn stone cold killer

Me on my first playthrough: "The quarians brought this on themselves! I'm going with the geth here!" (2 minutes later) "Please let there be a savegame prior to Rannoch, please, I beg you!" The outcome of that decision was the worst thing that has ever happend to me in a game.

This is the game of thrones season 8 version of ME3.

Damn, this Renegade Shepard's done some of the most horrible things : from betraying and killing Wrex, killing Mordin, letting Samara killing herself and then executing her daughter and even killing Ashley ! Absolutely hearbreaking.

Tali just crying. No words, just her broken breathing makes my heart break.

I once went full renegade... Damn I was dead inside the moment Tali sacrifice herself. My mind went into full breakdown state.

"im your prisoner, you cant just shoot me." Quote from man shot.

Killing Ashley: Meh Letting Kelly kill herself: Oh God Killing Wrex: No! Killing Mordin: Stop! No! Mordin!! Killing Legion: Nooo Baby Boi!!! Killing Quarians: Nooo....Huh

Harbinger: "and he calls me and my buddies the bad guy's!..."

The first time I played, I didnt realize when Legion uploaded the virus, it meant all the quarians would die. I was heartbroken and then Tali offs herself right in front of me. It was at that moment, I knew I fucked up.

Poor Mordin, omg, I can't look at it

18:33 My reaction to the whole video

I ALWAYS played Paragon. Now I finally see that Renegade simply means kills everyone. I made the right choice. There couldn't be any cool cameos/references down the line if everyone was killed.

4:30 broke my heart developers did Commander Bailey’s empathetic response on purpose

Renegade Shep (RSh) kills Ashley me: Meh RSh shoots Mordin, but he still tryes to save krogans and dies right in front of the console. me: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

killing mordin is the most evil thing i've ever watch on youtube video, i just can't

I feel like Mordin's death hit me the hardest... the way Shepherd throws away his pistol in disgust afterwards says a lot for his renegade story arc

Commander Bailey: "What happened?!" Commander Shepard: "I don’t know, he just went crazy…” Commander Bailey: "Are you really talking about him... Or do you really mean yourself?"

I never saw legion die. I wish I never did.

My brain won't let me do this on a technical level of things. No matter how ice cold you are, you just don't give up your homies. You just don't!

I need a bath and a hug after watching this. I think I’m gonna go lie down and cry

One thing I’ll always appreciate is how in some of them you can see Shepherd is visually annoyed or angry with himself, almost like he didn’t want to make the choice he did but had to for the sake of the universe, and he damns the fact he had to be the one to make that decision.

Come now, punching the reporter is surely undeserving the title of "shocking" xD

I never thought Shepeard would shoot mordin, I wish I never did..!!

12:30 is even more brutal because it's not as if the choice to save both the Geth and the Quarians wasn't available... It's *THERE* in this particular playthrough.

You know what would make Wrex’s scene so much more sad? If Wrex was shot a few times and was crippled on the ground held gunpoint by Shepard and Wrex says “Shepard.” And Shep says “Wrex” before shooting him

I remember doing full renegade runs because, well, the games demanded completion. Then I got to Mass Effect 2, I found renegade great because it was hilarious. Then I got to Mass Effect 3, I almost stopped playing.

I feel dead inside watching all of these options. I’ve been wanting to play a renegade character again but I could NEVER choose these options. The Kelly Chambers scene made me tear up, that’s truly horrible pushing someone to suicide.

You know what really doesn't make sense to me? The Carnifex is usually like a 1-2 shot kill to most targets in cutscenes, but it takes at least 5-6 headshots in the game

After my first playthrough, I thought about doing a renegade-only insanity run. Until I found this video and it made me reconsider. It's really painful to watch, the shift from paragon shepard into renegade shepard is just astronomical. Seeing Wrex dying is so heartbreaking here

I made nearly all of these choices in my first playthrough of Mass Effect 3. It was the most emotional experience I've ever had playing a video game. Which is why I always fought for the side that says ME 3 was an excellent game. I full on cried multiple times making renegade choices

Evaluation to determine whether you have psychopathic tendencies: -You kill Mordin -You betray Wrex -You kill Legion -You let Tali die If you did any of these knowing and willingly, you need help. XD

Now I'm going to have to replay the Mass Effect Trilogy. It so sad that we will never get another Mass Effect game. We probably won't get a remaster. RIP to Mass Effect you were the GOAT

Mordin's sacrifice cut so deep. Seeing the Renegade version of that nearly killed me....

Oh, I remember, that I cried, when thought, that Grunt just dead... It was too tragic moment

This is the dark side of the game I avoided, very brutal indeed.

I genuinely do not know how anybody could ever kill Mordin

The renegade choices in Mass Effect 1 and 2 were either harsh but defensible or badass. The renegade choices in Mass Effect 3 were just fucking evil.

Shepard is completely insane as a renegade in ME3 I could never go that route. He causes just as much damage as the Reapers!

The suicide of Tali broken my heart..

I'm a paragon purist so I could NEVER make these kind of choices but watching these does make me appreciate my decisions all the more knowing how disastrously wrong the story can go.

Suicide mission from mass effect 2 still one of the greatest parts in gaming history. Sometimes I would just roll the dice and pick random party members to do the specific parts just to give that extra edge that not everyone was getting out alive.

Thanks for making this vid, because now I've seen it all and I don't have to commit this horibbleness myself. EVER.

How could you shoot mordin, kill Wrex, and betray tali. I just cant come to these decisions it would tear me apart.

I think for me Tali's suicide, Mordin's death and Legion's death are the worst. My first playthrough of ME3 resulted in the Quarian fleet being destroyed and Tali was always one of my favourite charcters and honestly her crying as she watches the rest of her people burn is just horrific.

I'm glad I've always played paragon and always tried to save everyone. These make me sad, especially mordin's death.

Saddest death in that collection is Mordin, even dying, still trying to save the Krogan.

I played Paragon on my first playthrough of the trilogy. I played Renegade for the first two game. Never bothered renegade on the 3rd game because I got really lazy. Watching ME3 Renegade is by far the most brutal out of the trilogy. The Geth Upload moment without the ME2 save is definitely by far the most tragic of the paragon choices. This is what I love about ME3. Once the war begins, its just brutality or heartbreaking, that alone made me forget the shit ending that ME3 had.

That toss of the pistol at 09:30 really shows that even the renegade Shep hates it what needs to be done (or what he thinks needs to be done) sometimes. Such things really make characters human (or krogan or whatever)

High quality video my friend!

I want to thank you. I'm currently playing ME and was struggling to motivate myself to continue playing Renegade. This convinced me to give that up, too many scenes that would have fucked me up. Thank you.

Some of these choices were heartbreaking, but they made for some of the most in depth and darkest moments I’ve seen for 2 of my Shepard’s.

The most badass moment about ME series is that you as a single man can literally annihilate three races (krogan, quarian and geth) with your choices.

Honestly that was the hardest thing to watch. Kept looking at the timer like is it over yet?!

This is the first time I’ve ever seen the scene of the destruction of the migrant fleet and the extinction of the quatrains and tbh I’m devastated right now that shit hurt to watch 😭

The Mordin scene is even more heartbreaking, I don’t know how anyone could play through it like this lol

I love how every bad decision you make is prefaced by him stupidly going "WAT R U DOING?!"

4:12 made me cry...who would shoot wrex man... Fake renegade choice... God Damn it 🙄

Mordin's death is heartbreaking

I remember that during my first play through of ME2 with my Renegade Femshep, I lost Tali because I chose her to lead the second assault team at the end. I also lost Jack when the swarm attacked her on the Collector ship (Jacob was holding the shield bubble around the squad). And I don't remember how, but I also lost Mordin. Her romance option was Liara through all three games, and I had her soften up a bit in ME3. For example: My Femshep was a lot of things, but she wasn't a genocidal mass murderer. So she helped Wrex save the Krogan species. And when the tabloid reporter (Kaleesh al...something?) broke down during our third interview, I just couldn't punch her again. I chose the Paragon dialogue options for that conversation, and I wish I could have apologised on camera for punching her the first two times. I also couldn't bring myself to shoot Kaiden (Ashley died in ME1 during that play through). Even though Tali was gone I also managed to broker a truce between the Quarians and the Geth. And I chose Paragon options for the conversation with Liara's Mother on the Citadel. Future in-law if everyone survives, so play nice. Lol..

I never thought Shepard could be so cold and evil. I really love the fact that the game gives us all those different choices but I went paragon, I just couldn't die so much inside, plus Mordin and my boy Legion. :c

Coming back to watch these scenes, after starting Legendary Edition. It breaks my heart to see these scenes.

Ashley always gave in so easily for me when it came to that Udina thing but hearing what she says afterwards makes me think she wont be making it off of Virmire ever again

Watching this cruel and heartless Shepard is like watching scenes from a completely different game. I could never make most of these decisions. I feel bad for even watching them. Legion just made me tear up because every time he was shot he started shaking more and it's like he's crying at the betrayal :'(

betrayig Wrex..no man..no...thats crossing one of the few lines i know.

The fact that they make you shoot legion three separate times is a brutal way to twist the knife over you betraying a comerade.

The Geth/Quarian situation has been the most pivotal moment for me. It was what made me realise that actions in the previous games can have a major impact on the final game. If you succeed at getting Tali made an Admiral, and both Legion and Tali live till this moment, you can save Tali, AND get both the Quarians and the Geth fleets!
