Favorite Mass Effect companion?

[Hop-along Nussbaum]

Jack and Tali together.

 

[Hyper-space]

Wrex. Why? Because he's a fucking Space Dinosaur.
Seriously. There is no way I could ever hate him. And Grunt continued the awesome legacy that Wrex had started.
It's a rare thing when I don't have a Krogan on my mission team.

Another good thing about having a Krogan on the team is that they make great tanks with thier high health.

Poor old Miranda, Jacob and Jack get killed half the time but Grunt is always there, smashing heads in with the butt of his shotgun...

Does anyone actually like Jacob?

I find him second only to Kaidan in the 'most boring companion' competition.

Kaiden was my fave ME1 character and I love him, I think male gamers just hate him for no good reason tbh (this is the feeling I get reading escapist posts, anyway) I found him very useful (he owns Saren the final fight) and mourn not having him in ME2 Jacob is a pale shadow of Kaiden, they are trying too hard to make him smooth but instead he just comes across cocky and disinterested, Bioware dropped the ball with his personality (Kaiden was effortlessly likeable, speaking as a female gamer) and I am thinking my paramour achievement is gonna come from Thane who is far superior as a character.
My favourite ME2 character is Zaeed, the dude is a dude! Jack's pretty cool too.

I think Kaiden and Ashley were both pretty bland, dunno why. Ashley was a bit bitchy during group gatherings and Kaiden...was just Kaiden. He never struck me as someone interesting, maybe i should have done some loyalty mission with him or something, dunno.

Liara was tolerable in ME1, if a bit prone to swooning (twice she got the "vapors" during group meetings), but in ME2 she became a bit more fleshed out and interesting (what with her quest against the Shadow Broker).

My favorite character, has to be Legion. Now, this is not because of instant likability or something, but because hes an interesting character. When i first tried to talk about individuality with the guy, i felt a genuine sense of confusion from him, despite his emotionless voice.

Gotta go with Wrex. A pensive old space-goanna who kicks arse six ways to Sunday.

Honorable mentions go to Liara, Jack, Legion, Mordin, Garrus, Tali, Samara, Kasumi and Grunt.

...

It probably would have been easier to say just, "all of them."

EDIT: Urg. I just realised how old this thread is. Damn resurrectionists.

 

[Diablo2000]

Tali and Ashely in ME 1...
Tali and Legion in ME 2...

I was already Ninja'd?

Damn you are fast... Tali is Awesome.

You're quoting me from like over a year ago.................. :O
My feelings are still the same, btw. And you'll all be sorry cos Kaidan is officially a bad ass now, lol............
You should have chatted to him and you should not let the game auto level him either

 

[AMX58]

Garrus and Miranda from 2
Garrus and Ash from 1
also like having Legion that is one funny Geth
Thane is pretty kool
and Kusumi she is so funny on the Normandy

 

[Wayneguard]

Garrus hands down.

 

[TH3_D15HWA5H3R]

You can pick one from either ME 1 or 2. And with them all combined, there's obviously too many to fit into a poll.

My choice is still Wrex. He's got badass in all the right places. Of all Bioware characters, he's second only to HK-47.

agreed with wrex, i gotta say, if there was a romance sub-plot with him... id do... hot shepard loving... plus it would be lol-tastic

 

[radioactive lemur]

Miranda seems like an obvious option for male Shepard. I mean, she's awesomely powerful AND looks like Sarah from Chuck. No way he'll ever do better than that.

As for femshep, Yeoman Kelly isn't a "real" romance option, but she and femshep look like twins, and that's kind of hot. Interestingly, she's also the only same-race romance option for femshep. Thane is a Drell, Garrus is a Turian, Jacob is a black dude.

Seriously though, she should go for Joker in ME3. Why not? He's a cool guy. Does she have something against white dudes?

 

[Saviordd1]

Gahh, i don't know if its garrus or zaeed, damnit

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Zaeed. His Disruptive Ammo came in handy in nearly all of the insane difficulty (because just about every enemy but engineers had shields, those had barriers), he's very versatile, and he has an awesome cockney accent. That, and chucking an incendiary grenade while and blowing the bastard's head off with the Widow is quite funny.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I fucking love Mordin. Helpful in combat, exceedingly well-written, and an overall bad ************.

 

[SpireOfFire]

garrus. hes my boy, my warhorse.

 

[Meshakhad_v1legacy]

Mordin Solus. Why? Because he cracks me up, that's why.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

No Liara? Hm. Well, she's my favorite. Always will be. Finding the girl I fell in love with under all the cold and calculating armor she had on in Mass Effect 2 made me love her even more.
Tali is second, but it's not even close in my book.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Zaeed and Jack those two have such good synergy with my Infiltrator I want them to get married and live on the Normandy where they will have tiny super soldier babies for my anti reaper army *sigh*

Joker is the best ride in the galaxy...I mean pilot...the normandy is the ride...obviously. >_>

 

[Altorin]

I'm Commander Shepard, and Mordin is my favorite companion on the Normandy.

 

[nyysjan]

ME1 Tali, Wrex taking second place.
ME2 Tali, Mordin taking second place.

Garrus is kinda wesome as well, in both games, and Legion has his (its?) moments as well.

 

[Epic Fail 1977]

Hard to pick a favourite. Garrus maybe. Or Mordin. Or Liara.
Yeah, my favourite is definitely Garmordiara.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Garrus all the way, for both games. No contest for me.

Worst? I didn't really dislike any characters in ME1, but I hated Miranda in ME2.
