I've been replaying the Mass Effect trilogy lately. Despite my best efforts at being an asshole I still ended up with like 70% paragon points in the first one because I can't be mean to my crew.
I'm about halfway through 2 at the moment and having a bit more success at being a dick, but it still makes me feel bad. Like, I know the volus on Illium is selling drugs and deserves to go to jail, and I gave his dirty shipping manifest to the cops, but I didn't feel good about it. Little roly poly asshole was just trying to survive.
The problem with Mass Effect is also when you just try to be nice and befriend your team they take it as romance gestures and then you might get incredibly awkward dialogs about not wanting relationship with them
