Thank you so much. Was dreading having to leave major quest spot and redo a lot of territory just to get one more point. Serious flow killer. Well done my friend. :) Works good on LE1 on todays date. :)
I just tried this with the legendary edition and it worked --- for some reason despite having 90% of my renegade bar full the last 4 ranks of renegade wouldn't unlock).
Not too familiar with this new version but isn't just a remaster?
It's been some time since I made this but if I recall correctly you have to max out your paragon/renegade bar then reset it to zero before you can unlock more ranks in charm/intimidate.
This is a small change but it really alters the way you can approach the game and think about your choices, removing the mechanical incentive to go entirely Paragon or entirely Renegade does tons to make the roleplaying element more fun. Thanks!
Just downloaded, does this mean we get all the bonuses and we start from zero as usual (sounds good if so)? Secondly does this mean Admiral Hackett gives both UNC: Besieged Base and UNC: The Negotiation, that would be pretty cool? :)
I actually really liked having maxed out Paragon/Renegade from the beginning and not worry about it. You are not forced into your decisions because you want to gather as much Paragon/Renegade points as possible to unlock "the best options". You can actually play your Shepard like you want to. For example in some situations if found both Paragon and Renegade options too emotional and the other options were more logical and made sense for my Shepard to say, but i always have the "collect as much Paragon/Renegade for best options" in mind i never actually chose them. It's so refreshing to have full choice on your actions.
The real problem is that you get four, I think, ranks for free in Charm & Intimidate on each playthrough. Thus, the ideal way to play is to never invest in either- so it takes several playthroughs before you can actual start accessing those dialog options which is very annoying.
Or - as I did on my other playthroughs - max out paragon and renegade and add a few bonus points to max out the ranks lol... I'm such a filthy cheater :p

Let me know if you still have trouble.
2.) Hit the tilde key to bring up the console and type exec Charm&IntimidateRankUnlocker.txt

All the file does is automatically enter console commands to raise your Paragon/Renegade points. It's for convenience really.
