You're commander Shepherd. You're a champion of the Earth against the aliens. It's pretty much assumed that you're good.
Shep as well may be a racist and a nazi against aliens or he may be driven nuts after the war (like that vietnamese syndrome), or simply became too ignorant of people's needs after what he lived through. excuses why he could be an evil guy (or simply not good and not evil but an egoistic guy who cares only about his own desires) are endless.
I know that Volly will say something like "but bioware made him what he is! you can't change his past". But remember Volly that in PST things are pretty the same.
And that's a GOOD thing. I'd rather play a focused 'good' guy who has to make ambiguous decisions, than to choose again between the light side and the dark side.
me too. but that's a poor roleplaying when you have such limits. I know it's an aRPG, but VTMB also an aRPG - and you have a pretty wide variety of choices that will suit your taste. and they are far from being simple "light/dark side" choices. (that's for Volly, who put an aRPG tag as an excuse for the poor RP part of ME)
also I would like to hear about other quests in ME. and I'm also very surprised that IGN is bashing ME for C&C that is worse than KotOR's. That means that there is really something bad with roleplaying part in ME.
I'm not saying that ME could be a bad game overall. As a shooter for 2-3 evenings it may be a just fine game. but right now I'm not too happy with a RP part.
