Garrus is pretty gnarly, especially in ME 2. And I gotta say it Miranda is pretty badass too as well as Jack. I'd pay to see those two in an all out fight.
Favorite Mass Effect companion?

Definitely Legion, its voice is fascinating no matter how many times you hear it, it's always interesting to talk to it, and it's a very competent companion in combat.
Mordin was great too for the time that he was in my party. And Tali + Garrus, of course.

Garrus, by far. Was in ME1 and remains so in ME2, to the point that I take him on almost every mission. He's just so damn... useful.
I have to completely agree, I was incredibly impressed with Mordin's conversations, the near war going on inside of him between his intellect and emotion due to his past. Tali is Tali, so adorable.Amnestic said:
I gotta say though I'm purposely making a new Shepard (male instead of female like usual) just so I can do the Jack romance, I was quite touched with her backstory.
Gah, most of the ME2 characters are quite interesting, slightly disappionted with Garrus though despite his awesomeness how they basically gave him the same story about hunting down someone he hated. And Jacob was boring.
Joker and EDI ftw though.
Bonus for Tali lovers: When she summons her combat drone, she sometimes yells "Go for the optics, drone, go for the optics!"seditary said:
Her drone is also called "Chikktika", which Aerie fans might remember as being the raccoon familiar of her gnomish god.
EDI and Joker are totally romancing. We'll call it AIShipping.
"I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees. *meaningful pause* That was a joke."
In general I like the ME2 cast a lot more than the ME1 cast. They all seem to have more in-depth and likeable personalities. I thought Garrus and Tali were "meh" in the first one but I grew to really like them in the second. And Mordin's loyalty missions was executed pretty well, IMO, doing a good job of representing his inner conflict over the genophage. I even like Jacob - he's just an all-around reliable and trustworthy guy. Kinda like Kaidan but with more personality. And story-wise his loyalty mission was interesting, even if its relevance to him personally seemed a little forced.
If I had to pick, I'd probably say Wrex from ME1 and Mordin, Tali, and Garrus from ME2. I'm still undecided as to whether to have my Engineer go for Tali and cheat on Liara or not. Maybe I should just make a fourth character...

I actually like Kaidan and Jacob. They may not be the must interesting, but unlike my other party members they haven't done anything to piss me off (well, excluding Kaidan's hissy fit in Mass Effect 2). They're just nice people, and I'd much rather spend time with then than, say, Grunt.MiracleOfSound said:
And Jacob earned some respect from me when he didn't kill his crazy dad. I'm glad some members of the team are able to control their rage. Unlike a certain crazy Turrian.
Thane is just badass, and Mordin, entertaining as hell.
"I think I've cured Joker's illness. This will... no, this will cause liver failure! Start from scratch!"
Also, Garrus definitely got better in Mass Effect 2, but hearing Zaeed's stories is just funny.
Jacob seems like a good friend type person, kind of flat as a character, but he works. Tali's fun to tease with the romance stuff.
Miranda and Jack both seem to be bleh characters at first, but once you build up relationships, they're actually pretty good characters.
In fact, I still like the one that I like the least being Samara.
Congratulations to Bioware for making some actually good characters, unlike many other games.

I loved Wrex in ME1...but in ME2...I like Zaeed cuz he's a badass, Garrus cuz he's a badass,and Legion cuz he's a emotionless badass. Odd. I play Infiltrator and all my guys can use sniper rifles.
Garrus, a million times, Garrus.
He's just a dude, somebody who I could imagine actually working with if the whole thing was real. I couldn't really care less about the other characters except Thane maybe.
Also, would somebody explain the general love for Tali that I see in these kind of discussions? I find her whiny moralizing, accent, and the fact that I can't even see her face (talking to a purple screen, great!) intensely annoying. Out the airlock asap if I was given a chance. Also, all Krogan: bellends - they deserve the genophage.

1. Tali
2. Mordin
3. Garrus.
-I've had a thing (like many apparently) for Tali's character since ME1, and here she's done to a T. Seriously, I wouldn't have written her any other way. Liz Sroka (Tali's VA) really outdid herself, especially with the Tali personal mission and love subplot. Talk about emoting!
--Mordin was great, but for all the reasons others have already mentioned, and Garrus was just a blast to have around again.
Talking about VA work, Garrus's VA sounds more...smooth in ME2. Made me feel a little funny... Is it gay if it's a Turian?

-I don't know about the others, but I know my general affection for her was from how cute/useful she was in ME1 coupled with the fact that she was untouchable. In ME2, now that she's an optional LI, it's like I can finally release all that built up tension (which is portrayed pretty well through the dialogue with her for her love subplot). Also, she's much more 3 dimensional now (no graphical pun intended), so that's a huge plus.Davrel said:

Going to have to reduce my appreciation of Garrus after doing his recruitment mission on Insanity. Fucks sake that was hard. Mordin was an absolute breeze in comparison. I mean, I still died a few times but Garrus was just annoying. I never felt annoyed with Mordin's, but Garrus' was oooooh so tedious. Especially when it was his fault he died because he couldn't learn to sit the fuck in cover.
If he's not going to regen his health, he could at least have the decency to camp in cover when he's on red blinking flashing health instead of popping his head up and just standing in the open.
*sigh*
Done it though. Don't think any of the other recruitment quests will bug me as much, although I've heard horror stories about Tali's for Insanity. Definitely going to be bringing my nuke launcher for that one.

Garrus for hes cold humour! But Tali, Mordin & Jack come up close too.
I love Thane's veiw on life, its great,

I've just recruited the final team member, this game just keeps on getting better and better.
Even the side missions are fun!
