Contrary to popular belief, gamers are an empathetic bunch. Reportedly, around 92% of Mass Effect players were ‘Paragons’, meaning they almost exclusively chose the most morally pure responses to any given player choice. They saved civilians, halted genocides, and brokered peace to garner undying adoration from NPCs and those juicy, invisible honour points.
Given how high the percentile of Paragon players is, I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I fall hard into that group and, if you’re reading this, you probably did too.
