Poll: Favorite Mass Effect companion?

[ElephantGuts]

Pff Wrex of course. Until this thread I didn't even know anyone thought otherwise.

(Well, I did; I just don't like to think about it.)

 

[Woodsey]

It's between Wrex and Ashley. I was really pissed when she shot him, but I had to save her!

Least favourite is Tali - booooooring.

I've played through the game fully 3/4 times, and got halfway through several times. I've taken her out on a mission with me once.

 

[TheZapper]

Definately Wrex, closely followed by Garrus. They just seemed to be the most well developed characters of all the companions.

 

[Toastngravy]

Jenkins. Leroy Jenkins.

It's no competition. He is the best character even though he had one of the shortest screen-time of the possible squad-mates.

Obvious trolling is obvious.

Wrex all the way.

Hey it just occured to me there that Jenkins was maybe a little in joke from the devs regarding the infamous Leeroy.

I wonder?

It was.
His full name/title is Corporal Richard L. Jenkins

I've always had a thing for Tali.

I don't know, she's just so awesome.

 

[Marowit]

Always brought garrus along with me - he really rounded the group out really well.

 

[IDBash]

Strangely Tali was my favorite... she was the most useful for me... also, I made sure Kaidan died... man that guy was annoying!

Garrus, while Wrex was close to my beloved HK47 I just liked Garrus more. When do we get another HK47 type chraracter?

 

[ThaBenMan]

My soldier Shepherd, Wrex, and Garrus made a kickass team - mostly combat specialty that let us mop the floor with every opponent, but a bit of biotic support from Wrex and tech skills from Garrus to take care of anything that popped up in those areas. Wrex and I both had immunity (or whatever that ability is that jacked up your damage resistance), and I set Garrus up with quality armor and a couple health mods for it. We were pretty much unstoppable.

Character-wise, Wrex and Garrus are sweet, too. a big sarcastic dinosaur alien and a loose-cannon alien special agent? Awesome.

Wrex is the most interesting character type. All the others suffered annoying flaws that were used to justify their actions to too large of a degree. Didn't like any of the character except for Wrex since he was the most "real" and organic.

Please please note that I am judging this game more harshly then other games. The other characters are much more well done then many other games characters but since Mass Effect attempted to strive in that department with dialogue and personality I will judge them much more harshly.

 

[Wakefield]

Garrus. No question. Turians are just cool.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

I've always had a thing for Tali.

I don't know, she's just so awesome.

I agree completely. I loved her voice. Even more, I loved that her face was obscured on her visor, but some very faint features still shone through, made me really wonder what she looks like. I hope more Quarians are in the sequel.

Ashley. In RPG's, I always enjoy having someone who can lay down a mass of fire. They're bound to hit something!

 

[Starke]

I like how Kaidan isn't listed. Did anyone like that guy?

My GF loved Kaidan. Of course she's also a fan of Carth Onassi, so go figure.

For me, Wrex followed by Garrius. Though Wrex and Ashley was pathetically easy with an infiltrator with assault rifles. The elevator dialog between Wrex and Ashley really sealed that pair for me.

Wrex: So who would win in a fight between you and Commander Shepard?
Ashely: The commander is my superior officer, I can't imagine a situation in which we'd fight.
Wrex: That's why Sheppard is your SUPERIOR officer.

 

[Gestapo Hunter]

everybody love the red shirt Jenkins!

 

[Sejs Cube]

Tali and Wrex.

Wrex was just a goddamn wrecking crew, and Tali..? An engineer with even more shields AND a shotgun? Fuck yes.

 

[robinkom]

I generally didn't go anywhere without Liara and Kaiden, they were my team for the most part to the end.

In my first play through, I killed Wrex and Ashley. I would have killed Tali and Garrus as well if they had let me. I'm evil like that.
