Favorite Mass Effect party member? (No plot spoilers please)

[Ishnuvalok]

In the first game, Tali and Liara. In the second, Tali and Thane.

Please no spoilers.

Since they announced Mass Effect 2 they said that it was going to be centered around a "suicide mission" and that you would affect who lives and who dies. That's hardly a spoiler, unless you've been living under a rock for the past year or so.

Things that have been said in official announcements aren't spoilers; they're considered common knowledge about the game.

 

[Red Albatross]

Garrus and Tali, for both ME1 and ME2. Honorable mention goes to the Krogans, I love their voices. Paired with the bad ass things they like to say, it's awesome.

What makes it even better is the synergy they have with my soldier Shep, or I feel like they do, anyway.

I'm just saying, be careful with how much more you say. I know the suicide mission has been announced, but still there are people who don't like reading about that kind of things. Also, there's nothing wrong with living under a rock.

 

[Deef]

I like Jacob and Mordin and Jack, they're my favorites right now. They seem so much more fleshed out and real than any of your squadmates in ME1.

Oh I won't spoil anything about the game. I never put out spoilers.

Garrus in ME1. He's badass. Tali too.

I haven't started ME2 yet (waiting to play through ME1 one more time). Legion sounds interesting though.

 

[JeanLuc761]

Tali. Sweet, sweet Tali. Seriously, I already liked her in Mass Effect , but in the second one, no spoilers, but she has an even better personality.

Her "loyalty mission" was incredibly well done. It's kind of a toss-up between who I like the most in the series...Garrus/Wrex/Tali/Grunt/Thane/Mordin are all too damn awesome.

 

[Slash Dementia]

Garrus, by far is my favorite party member (though I'm only 4 hours into ME2).
I also like Zaeed, he seems pretty cool; and Tali. She's awesome.

 

[FoAmY99]

Good 'ol 'chicken feet' Tali...

Tali is awesome. Its a damn shame you can't bring Joker along. His dialogue is hysterical

Her loyalty mission, and I'm not ashamed to admit, almost made me cry. So I shot a few geth in revenge.

I love his biting sarcasm, it's hilarious.

I've yet to play ME2 yet......... hopefully tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

But, in ME1- my 2 favourites (its hard to pick JUST 1.. they all had good parts to 'em {AMAZING writing on that part})
I'd say Wrex- Just damn badass, loads of awesome stories, great voice acting
Garrus- "renegade", he hates beaurocracy, likes to have power/respect, knows what it takes to get the job done and therefore is cool, brutal, deadly and just smooth.

Now, on the opposing side- members I didn't like (main reasons):

Ashley- typical red-neck American *****. Racist, gun-heavy, dumb, religious (nothing against religion), and just REALLY boring...
Kaiden- nothing much bad against him. He was nice.. just seemed.. dunno, a bit gay.. not THAT interested.
Liara- immature/young (reasonable), a bit annoying, somewhat easy to get into bed, obsessed.. (albeit, I did do her)
Tali- Meh, boring, annoying, robotic, pretty dumb, too technological.

Remember, I do like (love all but the humans) all the characters- but these are my main arguments against why the others aren't my favourites.

And from what I've seen on ME2, Thane and Mordin look pretty sick. We'll see when I play.
Miranda sexy and all, and pretty badass with a gun.. what's she like overall? Would be nice to have an interesting human on the team for a change.. (and a hot one at that).

Also- if I romanced someone in ME1, am I stuck with her (Liara) in ME2, or can I cheat/break it up with her and go for, say Miranda??? Thanks.

I hope you actually thought he was homosexual and are not using gay as a derrogative term. I know you're new but we don't take too kindly to that around here.

You're basically still hooked up with Liara, but you can always choose to romance whoever you want. As long as you don't visit her on her planet you're a-okay.

You can romance other characters, regardless of prior romances. Which will probably bite me in the ass later, but I made the right choice in the second game.

 

[FastFoot92]

Garrus, Mordin and Arkangel.

Oh ha ha

I'd say badass Garrus(side quest speaks for itself) or genius comedian Mordin(Souplex has that covered)

Mordin also seems to be the best written charecter in any Bioware game as he had new respones every time I talked to him and all were hillarious.

This thread also seems to need a poll

wow, sorry.. nothing derogative intended..thought in today's society one could use the term "gay" without getting shot down. I thought wrong. I have nothing against gays. My best friend is gay. I have several gay friends. And no offence, but as I said I'm not using the term "gay" derrogatively, then I have no reason why I shouldn't use it. It's fewer letters to type.

But anyway, I guess gay/homosexual was the wrong word. IMO Kaiden was just a bit too nice, too, well not sure really a good adjective to use is, but.. he seemed weak. Never seemed to me to be 100% loyal to the mission/me, or agreed with what we were doing- be it my renegade OR paragon choices.. so after a few missions I ditched him and his bitching remarks about what I did. if he can't handle the hard and/or dirty work, he can get the hell off my team for all I care

(plus I was an adept, and always felt threatened around other biotics.. stealing my glory jokes)

Again, apologies for any "gay" offences I have caused.. nothing intended or meant in a bad way. I even thought I WAS gay for a while.. so please forgive me.

Hmm ok cheers mate.. I'm now confused . I just ordered a new copy of ME1, as I lost my old save files.. so I'm gonna spend 1-2 days redoing ME1 with all the right (IMO, better to ME2) choices, do all missions... even, god help me, the minerals one.. I want ME2 to be perfect, so need my ME1 save to be perfect.

I always romanced Liara in my 6 playthroughs.. and then I started to think, with Miranda in my sights, didn't want to get help down with someone I really don't like, hehe...

But yes... I can imagine in ME3.. something bad could come out of romancing several people. Hmmmmm.

Again, no spoilers, but if you know where to look, the game hints that there will be repercussions. Again, though, if I end up having to choose between Liara or my ME2 love interest, sorry Liara.

Don't worry about it, I'm a forgiving person, but others my take offence and report you, and that would be a shame because you obviously look like you want to contribute to intelligent conversation.
