You can have any 4 Mass Effect squad members as RL friends.

[Sean Hollyman]

You can pick 4 squad members from the Mass Effect series and have them as real life buddies, and share a house.
Who do you pick? And what sort of stuff do you do?

I'd have Thane as my chillout buddy, maybe smoke a bit of the good stuff, light some candles, have a nice relaxed chill out, discuss life.

I'd have Garrus as my best buddy who does everything with me, I drag him round with me everywhere. It's a tie up between him and Jacob, going out and having a drink would be nice.

I'd have Mordin as my social advisor, he'll be the party planner, the womanizer, etc.

And lastly I'd have Zaeed to maintain the house while I'm gone. If I have kids, he'd be the babysitter. He has some epic tales.

 

[prince_xedar]

Miranda, because she is awesome,
Thane, because he is awesome
Mordin, to have philosophical discussions with, and engineering expertise
Kasumi, to steal random things

 

[AzureRaven]

Tali, great with tech issues, has a combat drone for defending the house, and is just fun to talk to.

Mordin, who needs health insurance with him around. Plus his views on different subjects are very interesting.

Garrus, for hanging out and sharing hobbies with. Or well...shooting stuff. But you get the idea. Y'know, in case the neighbors decide to invest in a pet that happens to be a nosy cougar.

I was gonna say Grunt...but I get the feeling that might end up going badly. And Joker's not a squad member, so that's out. :/ So I suppose...probably Thane. He seems like a pretty cool guy all in all. Him or Legion. Cause...you know, I'm friends with a synthetic life-form then, what else needs to be said?

 

[Zantos]

Wrex because he's awesome.
Garrus because he's awesome.
Thane because he's awesome.
Legion because he's awesome.

Best wingman squad ever!

 

[ImprovizoR]

Garrus - cause he's my buddy.
Kasumi - because she's the most real character in the entire game. And she's hot.
Liara - cause she's a hot asari.
Mordin - to teach me everything he knows.

 

[DEAD34345]

Legion, 'cause he's a sentient robot who is also epic. Also, if I'm good friends with him I might get invited to the Geth party sphere (when it's created).

Mordin, because he would hopefully allow me to live for a very long time. Plus he'd probably cure AIDS and cancer in his spare time, which is a nice bonus.

Tali, because yes, I like her. She'd also be incredibly handy to have around whenever something breaks.

Garrus, just to see if he can speak more than one sentence (and if he ever mentioned "calibrations" I'd kick him out of my house).

 

[Dominic Burchnall]

I would have to go for Urdnot Wrex, simply for the cameraderie and ryncol sinking, and as much as anything catching up on old times since he's been practically running Tuchanka. Plus, I'd always wondered what it'd be like to have a wrestling match with a krogan.

I'd have Garrus Vakarian, just because he is a truly good guy, loyal, honourable, dependable, self-sacrificing, everything you could ask for in a true friend. A good partner to have for sparring contests and shooting competitions, too.

Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, as she is the only romance choice I go for, her tech skills would be indispensable around the house, the female touch would be needed with the soldiers around and, well, it'd be awkward cooking for just Garrus.

Finally, Mordin Solus, for the deep philosophical and moral discussions, debating and analysing scientific events and advancements, and for his Gilbert and Sullivan performances. Maybe we could get the whole house doing a performance

Of course, in an ideal world we'd scam enough creds out of the Illusive Man to buy up the whole street and live in a Normandy nieghbourhood.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Tali, Legion, Garrus and then it's a hard decision between Kasumi and Mordin.

Ah screw it; Mordin.
And why? Ebcause this:

Legion, 'cause he's a sentient robot who is also epic. Also, if I'm good friends with him I might get invited to the Geth party sphere (when it's created).

Mordin, because he would hopefully allow me to live for a very long time. Plus he'd probably cure AIDS and cancer in his spare time, which is a nice bonus.

Tali, because yes, I like her. She'd also be incredibly handy to have around whenever something breaks.

Garrus, just to see if he can speak more than one sentence (and if he ever mentioned "calibrations" I'd kick him out of my house).

... apart from Garrus anyway, he's cool.

 

[Sir Boss]

Tali, because well, I just love her.
Zaeed, because he's got some...interesting tales to share
Garrus because he's just bro material
Ashley, I like the way she speaks her mind.

 

[Irriduccibilli]

Does Shephard count?

I guess not, but I would pick
1. Joker
2. Tali
3. Garrus
4. Mordin

 

[Reaper195]

Garrus; he can calibrate things that break.
Wrex; he is badass, and hunting with him would be fucking awesome.
Legion; all my technical problems forever solved.
...and that's it. All other characters have always pissed me off, or are no where near as interesting.

 

[Riddle78]

-Tali'Zorah vas Neema/nar Rayya/vas Normandy: She's cute,and would seem like a great person to talk to.

-Mordin Solus: Great guy. Very entertaining to be around,believe it or not.

-Zaeed Missani (Wait...No. I'll just piss him off.) Jeff "Joker" Moreau: He has a wicked sense of humour,and would be an interesting conversationalist,I think.

-Garrus Vakarian: Like everyone else on this list,great sense of humour,and would,again,be interesting to talk to.

-Kaidan Alenko: Smooth,mellow,intelligent. He's the oddball of the list...He may not talk much,and his sense of humour may be limited,but hey,great guy to be around.

Runners up are Captain Anderson,Grunt,Jack,Khaleee Sanders (from the books. READ THEM!),Paul Greyson (Before the events of the third book),and Legion.

 

[Princess Rose]

You can pick 4 squad members from the Mass Effect series and have them as real life buddies, and share a house.
Who do you pick? And what sort of stuff do you do?

Garrus, Tali, Liara, and Joker (I know he doesn't technically count, but I don't care, he's the one I'd like to hang out with IRL).

I could see sitting around with them, drinking, talking, and just having a good time.

Or, better yet, hanging around in the Dark Star. ^^

 

[IncredibleTurnip]

Tali, 'cause she could, like, fix my computer and stuff.
Wrex and Grunt, because... does there really even need to be a reason here? I'm just hanging out with some krogans.
... And I don't know for the fourth one...

I wish there was a hanar squad member....

I'll go with Garrus.

 

[Raven_Operative]

1) Tali, because her mechanical expertise would be very handy (plus, its kinda fun to talk to her with all the social awkwardness it entails)
2)Garrus because he is just that awesome. (The knowledge of guns helps too.)
3)Thane, because his view of the world is different and interesting.
4)Legion, because he is badass.

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

1. Mordin. In my opinion, none of the supporting cast has nearly as much depth as him. He's clearly very intelligent, he's been established to be quite a skilled warrior with an extensive combat record (though much of it likely classified), and honestly, I think he'd just be incredibly interesting to talk to. Whether he's sharing war stories or explaining how something works, I think I'd pretty much always be fascinated by anything he has to say. Beyond that, he seems to just be very, for lack of a better phrase, down to Earth. He doesn't strike me as an arrogant know-it-all, he never speaks down to anyone, and he seems like the kind of guy you can go to with just about anything (up to and including tips on inter-species sexual encounters!).

2. Tali. Again, another character with great depth. Clearly intelligent, clearly a bit of a badass, and yet still incredibly friendly. Even when she obviously knows more about something than you do, she never talks down to you. She also seems to be pretty even-tempered and level-headed, even in times of crisis. And beyond that, she's shown time and time again a strong sense of devotion to people, things, and causes that she finds important - even in the face of societal banishment.

3. Garrus. In addition to being a pretty decent guy, he's also a complete and total badass. If I ever find myself getting caught up in a brawl or something, I know who I'd want covering my six. 'Nuff said.

4. Jacob. Every good flight leader needs a... how should I put this... "undesirable" wingman to make him or herself look better. And when I'm walking around with the likes of Mordin, Tali, and Garrus... yeah... I'm gonna need Jacob to help me out there.

 

[Saulkar]

Garrus because he is my sex life.
Mordin because he is my social life.
Kasumi because she is my night life.
Wrex because we start fights together!

 

[Pandabearparade]

Can I just pick Liara four times?

 

[pspman45]

Legion: he's just plain awesome, and having a robot wingman will pay off
Wrex: he's a bro. No argument
Tali: Can't explain
Garrus: Calm, focused, and loyal.
