Mine is Garrus, I find him to be oddly funny and it feels like I am teaming up with an old friend everytime he shows up in the games.

What about you?

Tough question, I wish we had more interaction with the Hanar because I found their personality quirks fasinating. As for the main party, I'll go with Liara, she is smart, attractive, and is also ruthless!

Hard to say really, I like most of the characters. Mordin and Garrus definitely have some great moments. Loved it when Mordin broke out in song in the second game :lol:

I would say Garrus, Jacob, or Ashley. They are the most complete character. The problem I have with most character in Mass Effect is that they have one thing about them and everything about them revolve around that.

No doubt, Garrus Vakarian.

His german VA Ronald Spiess is pure gold and apart from that. he's great written. Also all the great unforgettable Moments with him.....ME3 sniping on the Citadel for example. Man, good times :D

Also awesome that his VA also does some documentation speech overs as well on TV, always in an instant recognizing his awesome great voice :D

Shepard is a whiny **** "please drop what you're doing to save my planet because it's the most important!" "Why?" "Because the reapers haven't destroyed my planet" "Well we're still trying to save ours." "No that's pointless you should come with us to save my planet."

Mordin Solus on the other hand is the greatest followed by the Thane. Mostly because they're not selfish pricks.

Garrus is the best with Mordin right behind him. I loved both of their characters. Both unique and believable.

Every member of the crew brings something special to the team. That is why Mass Effect is such a good trilogy.

probably thane. i like the link between his AI playsty|e and his character. he's fixated on death, both in the form of his own mortality and killing others. yeah, the broad strokes carry over to combat in a way that doesn't happen with others, but also the direct form of a sniper character is a good match because he's such an offensive force but you still have to worry about his fragile defense.

that's a connection that isn't really there with some other characters. for instance, ashley has this whole backstory about how she hates aliens, but she kills about as many aliens and humans as anybody else in the squad.

You could say the same about Cerberus, too. There motives are behind their actions although they may seem contradictory.

i was kind of amused in ME3 when cerberus makes a bunch of "super soldiers" that are in gameplay terms just cannon fodder. i guess the way to think of it is that the elusive man wasn't trying to make superior soldiers so much as he was trying to make a superior force as a whole. that superior force comes in the form of a large pool of completely obedient soldiers.

The mercenaries on insanity were a decent challenge. I play Vanguard and that is also a factor.

even on insanity, the vast majority of the cerberus troops aren't a challenge by themselves. they're a challenge in groups and the illusive man can afford to send them in waves whereas the alliance would not be able to send waves of shepards (although admittedly the horde mode messes this up a bit as player characters there are nearly as strong as shepard).

Liara, with Kusami a close second. I also really like Garrus, Liara, Thane, Samara, Mirana....all hell it's easier to say who I didn't like. Kaiden, Diana Allers, and Vega.

You are right about the individual cerberus combatant not being much of a threat and that their strength lies in numbers. It seems to be in line with the Illusive Man's opinion on the expendability of the individual member of the organization versus the whole. I didn't play the horde mode. So, I cannot say much about it.

Has to be Garrus. The Han Solo of the saga really.

Wrex, Mordin and Zaeed are favourites too.

Wrex followed by Mordin were my favorite with Garrus being one of the most annoying video game characters I can think of. I replayed my paragon and renegade Shep in ME2 when I learned I could permanently get rid of him.

Garrus and Tali were probably my two favourite but I really liked them all basically. I think there was actually only one character that I didn't care for and that was Kaiden.

I didn't mind Kaiden. Voiced by Raphael Sbarge, seemed to me like the Carth Onassi of the group.

Definitely Garrus. Second would probably be Thane
