On a side note, these two are awesome, they should be in ME3 ;)

I can't share everyone else's Zaeed hate. He doesn't do/say anything after the loyalty mission, so I can only say I really, really don't care about him...
Favourite characters? I was going to say Mordin and Thane, but having unlocked Legion earlier today (What? So I'm playing the game slowly... I have too many other things to do atm!), I'm definitely liking him! Although I have an awful feeling that I've inadvertently brought the endgame on, and a great many of my characters are going to die. Horribly. So it's time to go back to the save I made just before the mission where you get Legion...

I liked all of the characters, even the ones I didn't like. for example I really didn't like Miranda but not because I thought she was a bad character. I disliked her personality which means she had a developed enough personality to make me dislike her. I found all of the characters to bee interesting at the very least. the only character I found uninteresting was zaeed but he was an expansion anyway.

Well, just so you know...

Yes, the end game is soon; though you can delay it. However, if you delay, their will be consequences... not saying what sort of consequences though ;) Message if you wanna know, but I won't spoiler for you

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll find out what happens myself. Then run away and reload a save, the screams of my dying team-mates still ringing in my ears...
It's not my fault! It's just that scanning planets on the xbox is a painfully slow process!

Favorite is a toss up between Garrus and Thane.

As for my most hated, Jack, by far. Her character is just annoying, irritating, and I really dislike her in general. She knows she's a badass so she goes around with a cocky attitude.

Favorite character: Garrus remains as the undisputed champ. Cold, calculating, smart, and all-around badass. Also, there's this:

If certain dialogue choices are made during his loyalty mission and if certain actions were taken in Mass Effect (e.g. how the player dealt with Dr. Saleon outright during Garrus' personal quest), Garrus will indicate his methods were learned from Shepard. He expresses surprise when asked if killing Sidonis will make things right, stating Shepard was the one who taught him killing is the best solution based on the way Shepard dealt with Dr. Saleon (only if Shepard chose to kill the doctor outright instead of turning him in in Mass Effect). Before the meeting with Sidonis, Garrus will state that he "learned from the best" if Shepard states that he/she would kill Sidonis for betrayal too. This means Garrus' personality and conduct is shaped by Shepard's guidance in Mass Effect.
This actually why I dislike Garrus in Mass Effect 2 I spent all of Mass Effect convincing him that his methods were wrong. Eventually Garrus began to consider what I was saying. I changed his outlook on how to carry out missions. He said he was going to go back to C-Sec and reapply for Spectre training. That made me happy, since it actually felt like I had made a difference in his character development.

In Mass Effect 2, none of this happened. He didn't go back to C-sec. He did the opposite. I was very disappointed when I found him in Omega, and even more when I learned that he was consumed by revenge. It's like everything I said to him was ignored. Worst yet is that the game doesn't even acknowledge this. It's like I never had these conversations with Garrus. In my opinion, it's BioWare's second largest failure in terms of Mass Effect 2's plot.

This bothers me. Jacob doesn't have a real personality, he's too bland to evoke any emotions in you, let alone hate.

If you hate a character, that means you care about him. Care in a bad way, but still care.

Favorite: Mordin and Garrus tie for first. Mordin because he's hilarious and quirky but chillingly efficient at the same time, killing his old student with only a brief amount of regret to show for it. Garrus because, well, he's awesome, laid-back (except during his loyalty mission) and because the romance dialog with him is cute and funny.

Second place ties between Tali and Legion. Tali because she's friendly and I love her voice acting, and her romance dialog is cute and heartwarming. Legion because they're a really interesting take on the whole robot civilization idea. And yes, they do the robot.

Third place ties between Thane and Zaeed. While still rather cliche for an assassin, I really did like how reserved he was. I seem to be the only person that likes Zaeed, which saddens me. Yes, he's a cliche and a half, yes, he's a bastard, but that's what makes him so fun! And he does have a moderately human side if you talk to him on a couple of occasions (Jack's mission, to name one.)

Indifferent: Grunt, Samara, Jack, and Jacob. Krogan are fun but I've never been fond of the barbaric warrior races, Samara is just a blue paladin, and Jack... Was cool, but didn't really do anything for me. Though I'm glad her alternate costume gave her a shirt. Sheesh. As for Jacob... Meh. His loyalty mission was fun and interesting, but there wasn't a lot of character behind him. It didn't help that he seemed really oddly proportioned, too. His head and torso seemed cartoonishly inflated compared to the rest of his body.

Hated: MIRANDA. She's a smug goddamn *****. Also, Morinth for killing us artsy people. And Shepard, in one scene.

Favorite team was Tali and Garrus mixed up a little with Grunt or Legion

Least Favorites were Jack and Zaeed. I didn't like Thane at much first but he kind of grew on me.

Oh I have a question too. I don't know if there is a simple answer to this or if someone has asked it already but, Why when I take Legion onto the Citadel no one says a damn thing or tries to shoot it?

You sure? I know Zaeed was aussie, but I thought Miranda sounded brit. Hm, must be why it didn't work then.

1.Garrus
2.Thane
3.Legion
Garrus is pretty awesome due to the whole "We settled it in her quarters...I had reach, she had flexibility" quote. Thane is just sooo badass and Legion was intriguing. I don't like late into the game legion shows, it was kind of disappointing and then mission after next he dies in my game.Strategy wise I was kind of sad, as my main play through I was an Infiltrator and all three listed are snipers, I used thane just for the Biotics. I was so pissed when I got legion and thane killed.

Miranda is up there but only because I'm a huge Chuck fan and Yvonne whats-her-name is hot (though they gave her mild case of the man-face with miranda). Mordin is pretty badass but I only used him for one mission. Jacob was very dissappointing. Jake was a ***** (I laughed when I got her killed). Zaeed is a douche. I wanted him to die when he got trapped under the pillar. Grunt was interesting, and was a good back up to my Infiltrator. Samara was little more than the boob lady, I really didn't have much interest in exploring her all that much.

It's completely the other way round. Zaeed is British.

I... Huh. I honestly wouldn't have known that, and that's the first time I've ever gotten two accents switched around. My mistake then, I suppose.

I don't think mineral scanning counts as delaying...I think its only side missions that do... not sure
