True, the possibilities are endless. But, wasn't that what Bioware was going for with the series, to create a game where everyone's playing experience would be different? I'm just not buying the "coup the nice way" thing though. Is there really a "nice way" to forcibly oust the leadership and replace them with yourself? Plus, Shepard still can have many allies that aren't affiliated with the Council in any way if the Council refuses to help. I see that this is definately a possible course of action, But I don't think I want my paragon Shepard to become Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. Perhaps that will be only a renegade course of action, and something else will happen for paragon characters.
