@Jake PT, About the Charm/Intimidate option in the conversation about the hostage just before the fight with Vasir. I just played the DLC with my renegade Sheppard and the intimidate option was available (paragon grayed out). This Sheppard is a ME1 imported character who let the Council die. He also let the Collector base for Cerberus. I’m assuming that no matter how many renegade points you may have, one or both of those decisions must have been taken in order for the Renegade option be available
