Favorite Mass Effect interrupt (SPOILER HEAVY)

[Sean Hollyman]

So, the Mass Effect series has quite a few moments when you can interrupt a scene with either a Paragon or a renegade option. What was your favorite one?

I liked this one. BEST. INTERRUPT.EVER.

Stole my post, OP.
I also enjoyed punching that quarian **** right in the gut.

As for the 'this is for Thane' one, I hated it. I kept thinking "Why isn't Shepard noticing him creeping up on her? He's making noises, clinging his sword against the floor...TURN AROUND ALREADY" Then when I finally could I just thought "Well, that was totally unneeded and unrealistic drama..."

I like to go for the explanation I saw on one of the youtube videos.
Shepard is very aware that Kai Leng is a-creepin' up (s)he just gives minimal shits about that ninja pussy.

Damn, I was going to link a video of the Quarian trial, and then a interrupt appeared where Commander Shepard started singing a swedish techno song about ding dongs.

But since I can't find it, I'd say Shoving that Eclipse Merc out of that really tall building.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Really can't beat that.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Both mine come from Tuchanka.

"Shepard headbutts Worf."

"You talk too much."

 

[Vegosiux]

Well, my favorite was always the krogan headbutt. I mean when that one pops up for the first time, I hit it without thinking, and then I'm like "D-did I just headbutt a Krogan?"

"I like this human! She understands!"

Curse you, SovietHeavy ninja *shakes fist*

Even as a Krogan Mister Worf gets no respect.

 

[Thespian]

Well yeah I almost crushed my controller pulling that renegade trigger for Kai Leng.

But this is my all-time fave.

I liked the 'headbutting a krogan' one the most as well.

Khalisah bint Sinan Al-Jilani, out of all the interrupts where you impart sweet violence on people, these are always hilarious. Plus, in 3, she thinks she can fight back...nah, you're just prolonging the inevitable.

Making the bartender drink his poison... goddamn batarians.

 

[Vault101]

there was a moment in ME3...

where you shoot Udina...at the time the situation was so intense I wasn't thinking,

its hard to explain but my actiosn didn't come from a concious desicion of "paragon/renegade" I was reacting as if I were literally in the moment

and then I even said out loud "oh my god! what did I just do?!"

thats pure imersion

As for the 'this is for Thane' one, I hated it. I kept thinking "Why isn't Shepard noticing him creeping up on her? He's making noises, clinging his sword against the floor...TURN AROUND ALREADY" Then when I finally could I just thought "Well, that was totally unneeded and unrealistic drama..."

*fanwank time!*

seeing how easyly shepard countered him mabye he/she was aware but not letting on....

[i/]let the bastard come closer...let him think he'll get the last laugh BAM![/i]

 

[Zhukov]

Umm.. tie between headbutting that one Korgan on Tuchanka and giving Liara a hug after the fight in LotSB.

Yeah, it kind of seemed that Shepard was aware that Kai Leng was dragging his broken ass to him/her.


Anyway, my favorites are (that I can remember):

Paragon - Punching Zaeed in the face (ME2)

Renegade - Stabbing Kai Leng (ME3)

Ya mean this? ;]

I await my reward.

I like the ME2 Paragon interrupt to break the kid's pistol.

2:25

It just shows what kind of person ParagonShep is. He sees someone who doesn't know what they're doing, someone who is going to hurt or even get themselves killed, and steps in to stop it. He prevents the loss of life with a simple motion where he could have just let him wander into a firefight he wasn't ready for.

Either that, or the Biotic God knock out.


Priceless.

 

[darron13]

The very same one you posted, in fact my Shep was mostly Paragon, but I couldn't pass up a chance to hurt that asshole.

I hereby award you with one internet cookie IOU. I can't find the cookies for some reason. What flavor would you like your IOU in?

 

[The_Waspman]

Oh, I remember the first time I played a renegade Shep in Mass Effect 2 and the renegade option popped up in the Al-Jilani interview. Christ I felt the reverb on that one! He's wearing a gauntlet and he smashes her in the face! I thought I'd killed her!

 

[Cranky]

IT doesn't count, as an interrupt, but I really liked the part where you tell the C-Sec guy to let the quarian off in ME2 by saying, "You gonna run in a Spectre?"
