During the course of the game, a superfan by the name of Conrad Verner approaches Commander Shepherd looking for autographs, eventually leading to him just showing up to fawn over Shepherd. Eventually, this leads to a choice of either dismissing him peacefully or aggressively. Due to a glitch, the game would incorrectly log which decision the player makes as the Renegade decision and makes Conrad act aggressively towards Shepherd over the course of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 ruining the chances of seeing the end of his story arc.

This was fixed in the Legendary Edition rerelease. While the decision still registers incorrectly, Conrad will apologize for his behavior in the later games and allow the player to either continue the Renegade route or shift to the Paragon route of his story.
