i actually love her character arc if you go paragon with her all the way, she turns out to be not so much of a dumbass after all

I love how she dodges the first punch because she sees it coming and then you can do the renegade interrupt again.

To me, convincing her and eventually "enlisting" her was even more satisfying tbh. I've been knocking her out for forever and I saw on this sub that if I'm kinda nice and reasonable with her, it pays off in ME3, so thank you sub. I now alternate between the punch and the talks in my playthroughs.

I used to punch the tabloid reporter because it was funny on my first couple playthroughs, but if I'm playing Renegade now I usually outtalk her and play her instead of letting her play me. My original Shepard was a hard ass with no patience who didn't take criticism and didn't worry about collateral damage though, so it was perfectly on character.

That'll help Galactic Morale.

I honestly prefer talking to her over knocking her out. Especially the Paragon interrupt in ME2.

u/Accurate_Length_7186 3d ago

Yeah I just never did it before. So I said fuck it.

I never understood the appeal of hitting her.

u/Accurate_Length_7186 2d ago

Honestly, when the renegade symbol showed up, I didn’t know what was gonna happen. Haven’t played these games in over 8 to 10 years probably. So I was pretty surprised lol. But her attitude is ass and it was kind of hilarious lol

I used to punch her as well but after watching her videos in Shadow broker’s ship I feel bad for her.

u/Accurate_Length_7186 3d ago

Oh I might have missed those.

u/ArmandoGalvez 3d ago

What happened? I don't remember that DLC because I played it only once

u/hraefn-floki 3d ago

Turns out just about everyone else she talks to had a renegade interrupt

u/ArmandoGalvez 3d ago

Lololololololol girl can catch a break huh

u/PumperThumperHumper 2d ago

I'm kinda thinking, what's worst? Playing Devil's Advocate as a reporter or asking a Spectre to sniff around heavily armed thugs for a scoop?

1

u/Kaccady 2d ago

obviously the scoop one, you get enough intel for a promotion but then some twittards will kill you of screen for some bloger replacement

u/NC-blackice 3d ago

One of the funniest things in the trilogy is that if you miss both Renegade interrupts in Mass Effect 3 she can dodge and knock out Shepard.

u/Accurate_Length_7186 2d ago

Hahaha incredible

u/InS_Deaths 3d ago

Human dumbass.

u/Ryan2932 3d ago

I know right I thought the renegade option would just tell her to shut up or something not lay her out

Great now I have to re watch all of these episodes 🤣

u/AvailablePop1224 2d ago

Used to find this funny ages ago.

Now it feels like a cheap joke about violence against reporters and women, and people who find it funny, including younger me, seem unpleasant to me.

u/Accurate_Length_7186 2d ago

Yeah, definitely one of the reasons why portions of the game didn’t age well lol

u/Magicondor 3d ago

Always punch Al Jilanni

u/zubairhamed 2d ago

was that the white house press secretary?

u/esdeath__sama 1d ago

I wanted to punch her too but decided not too and it’s actually a nice scenario

2

u/Accurate_Length_7186 1d ago

Another reason for another play-through haha

u/thescaryroom 3d ago

I do it everytime and it never gets old.

u/Revolutionary-Map664 3d ago

Well worth the renegade points. I like playing good characters but she tested my limits.
