"Mass Effect: Andromeda" will no longer have the Paragon vs Renegade mortality system starting next month. This has already been confirmed by BioWare, stating that a new dialogue system will take its place instead.

The game's creative director, Mac Walters, said to Xbox Magazine that the reason for the elimination of Paragon and Renegade was due to the exit of protagonist Commander Shepard, who has been with the franchise until "Mass Effect 3." Apparently, the protagonist is not returning to the upcoming game, so the Paragon and Renegade points from the character affect the accessibility of the dialogue options.

"So, Paragon and Renegade is gone. The reason they're gone is because they felt very Shepard – they were very tied to the Shepard character, so they didn't really make sense if we weren't going to have Shepard as our protagonist," he said, according to Games Radar.

The game will, instead, keep track of the players' mortality points based on various scales. For instance, a character that already has an evil impression will remain to be feared despite doing good deeds.

Walters also explained the worth of the new dialogue system that will replace the Paragon and Renegade mortality system, particularly the agree/disagree system. He said, "With agree and disagree it changes by the circumstance and it changes by the character you're talking to, so you have to actually be more engaged in what's going on, to know if you're going to do that."

He added that "Mass Effect: Andromeda" will feature four added tones to allow the other characters to express themselves in various ways.

The upcoming title is set to be released on March 21 in North America and in March 23 in Europe. The game's closed beta play has just ended and BioWare confirmed that they are moving to the next step of planning.
