Favorite Mass Effect companion?

[coldshadow]

tali and garrus and thane all tie for first

 

[Drundy]

I go with Legion(for we are many)and old buddy Garrus.

 

[Zannah]

Garuss all the way, if only for being a less sterotypical "me smash, you die" baddass, but a rathe charming companion. Miranda and Mordin on 2 and 3 probably.

 

[Grey_Focks]

I really liked them all, but Thane's voice effect was just awesome, and Garrus had the most fun recruitment mission (bare in mind I was an infiltrator. sniping is funsies) and other than the occasional Miranda and Grunt, they were my usual party, except when I did all the loyalty missions. And I actually liked these reincarnations of Bastilla and Carth the best, imo. Certainly better than Ashley and Kaiden, atleast.

 

[Snowalker]

Garrus, if not him then Thane, if I can't have either of them, then damn you, and Legion.

 

[Jennacide]

As much as I love Wrex and Tali, I have to go with Legion. Not only is he generally amusing at how dumbstruck he is in some situations (bringing him into the Migrant Fleet, Citadel, etc), he's one of the most powerful party members in the series so far, if not THE most powerful. Plus, he'll randomly do the Robot, which made me laugh so hard the first time I saw it I covered my monitor with iced tea.

Very close second over Wrex/Tali is Mordin. He's just so great, best Salarian ever, and this commentary on stuff like Captain Kirrahe was classic.

100% Thane. I used him on every mission (until he died because i forgot to upgrade my ship). 2nd would be Garrus. 3rd, probably Legion.

Oh, so those upgrades do matter? I was wondering if it was worth it to pour resources into better armor or guns.

OT:
Samara is kind of a meh character but her loyalty mission was pretty intense, at least in my mind.

Thane is awesome, and I like Legion although I don't know how much you actually use him (I just recruited him, about to go to the heretic place). I never thought Tali was a great character. None of them were bad in my mind.

To use a liberal meaning of companion here, I have to go with Yeoman Kelly for the best. Just...because. Miranda would have had it, but I screwed up during the scene when she argues with Jack and now she won't talk to me. Dammit, how much of a paragon do I have to be to get that dialog option?

 

[crazyjay321]

ME1(best)= Wrex is a god(if he was real).
ME2(best)= Mordin was a legend even after he died.
ME1(worst)= Ashley she shoot's Wrex... I killed every other mother *beep* who shot at wrex, so when they ask who i was saving, i was off that planet with Kaiden before Joker could finish his sentence.
ME2(worst)= Morinth for possibly replacing Samara who was awesome as a team member(I used Samara for every mission that i could)

-You know how the paragon scale is in levels? Well, once it's on that last thick part of the meter (just before it's completely full) is the least you can have in order to keep both Miranda and Jack. Just save Jack's mission for after the Heretic base and, well if you're a true paragon, you should have enough by the end of it.

 

[Jenova65]

I love Jack, she blows all my cares away.

taken out of context that sounds sick. me1 tali and liara. me2 grunt and jack.

Well don't take it out of context then, simple ;-)

Besides, that joke is better suited for Morinth.

Urgh *shudders*

Why didn't you charm or intimidate Wrex down? No one has to die then!

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I don't know actually. So far I like Zead, he seems like the kind of guy who knows how to have a good time.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

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 know what you mean, Tali's personal mission nearly made me shed a tear, but I didn't because I'm very manly... *cough*. But yeah, I love her voice, personality and she just seems like a real, genuine character. I think Garrus was vastly improved improved as well, he seemed genuine.

 

[Hollock]

Mordin and Tali.

 

[Greenshoes]

Garrus
Mordin
Miranda

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Erm, overall I'd say Tali, Garrus and Legion. Do love Mordin as well, just not as a party member. And Wrex was the best part member in ME1, but I kinda like him uniting the Krogan clans more.
Can't stand Jack, she really winds me up.

I reloaded to charm wrex, but i will always hold it against her(I hate her she's also a massive racist, atleast when wrex is racist he is funny about it.)

Actually Lol'd there! Fair enough though, I guess you just can't 'unsee', some things....
EDIT - Although to be fair she is a more of a speciesist than a racist!

 

[Slaanax]

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.

That's how I play the game! Wrex was my favorite because in the first one he seemed to have the most depth to his character.

 

[Ryan Dopson]

am i the only one that thinks garrus is verrry boring? i just dont see any strong personality to him, hes just some standard turrian, someone like a phycopathic biotic ***** or a sexy asari justicar who has to kill her own daughter is more appealing to me, i just think hes not very quirky
