True, but then again …

Paragon points are often awarded for being open minded, understanding and polite whereas Renegade points are achieved by being self centered, bullying (I said it so it IS a word ) and having a "my way or the highway" kind of attitude. Though clearly not as extreme as the Light Side vs. Dark Side in KoTOR, it still isn't "pleasant" to play a Renegade in Mass Effect.
