Poll: Favorite Mass Effect 3 Squad Member

[skywolfblue]

Garrus is too obvious of a choice. So I'm going to show some support for EDI.

I loved what they did with her character. Her looks are straight out of 80's sci-fi, styled in a way that is so over the top it's beautiful. Her relationship with joker is totally awesome, so many funny lines.

 

[Vrex360]

Still Ashley. She was my love interest in Mass Effect 1 and I waited two years to see her return, while it still sucks that she's pushed out of the action for the first third of the game and runs out of things to say once on the Normandy, her romance is still good and I still have enough lingering fondness for her since Mass Effect 1 to look past that.

Secondary is obviously Garrus.

Tie between Garrus and Liara for me. I've always been a huge fan of both of them. Liara has been my love interest throughout the series, and Garrus has been in my squad through all 3 games now. It's just a shame that Wrex wasn't a squady in the 3rd game. =(

 

[Goofguy]

I had to go with Garrus. While Liara was the best written LI in ME3 and had some very good scenes, the sum of Garrus's contributions towards all three games outweighs that of anyone else. Plus, he's your bro.

I'd be more interested in seeing a "Most Hated Mass Effect 3 Squad Member" thread and would find it hilarious that the three human squadmates would probably top that poll.

oh nvm I see where you were going, see how little impact the human characters make when all I can think of are Miranda and Jack(ME3 Jack) as the two good humans

I like what they did with Jack. In ME2, I thought she was too overbearing, anarchistic and over the top in attitude. Her change in to a more responsible, mature, toned down yet badass and sassy mentor figure was refreshing.

I was also glad to see Miranda's personal storyline wrapped up in ME3. I thought the whole father thing was going to be a one time thing but it was interesting to see him involved in TIM's nefarious activities. It certainly made Miranda's earlier resignation from Cerberus seem way more justified and sincere.

I unfortunately have not had the opportunity to have Kasumi as a squadmate but I do think Zaeed is quite the badass, even if he's a bit one-dimensional.

All this to say, I agree with you 100%. Jack and Miranda are the most compelling of all the ME games' human squadmates.

 

[Digitaldreamer7]

First choice would have been Legion but since he's not playable, it's Garris. I know nothing edgy but he was very well written. Liara is 2nd, and the weren't that well written. The whole Tali drinking scene was very awesome, but that's one scene in the entire game.

 

[AbstractStream]

On a personal attachment level, Liara. I just liked having her around. Gameplay and technique wise, she was good to have (God knows how many times her singularity and stasis powers have helped me), but I'd have to pick Garrus. He really does know how to make a gun dance. Overload has helped me a lot too.

Just so I wouldn't have to choose between them, they were part of my squad 90% of the time

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Garrus of course but all of the squadmates were quite well written (yes even Vega, but im easily impressed). Also was it just me or did the Cerberus goons have awesome voices.

 

[lumenadducere]

Definitely between Liara and Garrus for me. They're both really well-written and they seem to have great friendships with Shepard. And their VAs did a great job with both of them in ME3.

 

[Dogstile]

Garrus, he is one of the character's who i've actually seen develop a personality throughout the game. In the first he was just a cop who wanted to do things his own way and was cool with you if you agreed with him.

In the second one he was very responsive to banter, which makes me happy as all hell. Being British, being able to tell him that the scar will give him help with the ladies in a stereotypical sarcastic fashion was one of my favourite moments.

Which is why in the third one, I had to miss that shot. He became a character who would reminisce with you, few characters have made me do that.

 

[Xannidel]

Garrus for me, my Shep was an adept so having a sniper was just awesome, I rarely used James or EDI and while Liara and Kaiden were great I would still rather have Tali and Garrus as my squadmates.

 

[Sarge034]

Garrus is my bro and Tali is my lady.

In the end I had to give it to Garrus "the bro" Vakarian.

 

[The_Lost_King]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the least popular was probably James Vega.

And yeah, Garrus is the archetypical "bro". A lot of people picked him, and for good reason.

Nah Kaiden is boring as ever. Bioware just suck at making good humans. Jack was annoying as hell and Miranda was only good because she was hot and good at stripping defenses.
OT: Garrus Vakarian is the best squad-mate EVER! Although I freaked out(in a good way) when EDI took Eva's body. Liara is the best love interest though.

 

[DSK-]

Garrus for me. I rarely used anyone besides Garrus or Liara in my first and only playthrough. Just like old times~

But as someone else mentioned, the majorit of squadmates were good too.

 

[guitarsniper]

My favorite was definitely Garrus. I actually really liked Vega just because I found him kind of hilarious, especially that first conversation where he's just doing pull-ups and shooting the breeze. But yeah, Garrus is tops.

 

[RatRace123]

Gotta go with the Turian Bro.

Garrus Vakarian!

However, I really enjoyed the new guys too, especially Javik. Garrus gets the top spot, but Javik is a close second under him.

This needs more information.
Is this based on personality? or mechanics?
Either way my answer doesn't change it's Tali.

I absolutely love her in every conceivable way, and she's by far the most useful character in the game.

I would disagree, she is the most useful against the Geth but after that, bring her with you on earth on insanity and you are asking for trouble.

 

[OManoghue]

I haven't bought the DLC so I don't have Javik, but my favorite is Garrus. I found Liara and EDI to be totally worthless and if i wasn't standing next to them they'd just fucking drop dead. James was a good murder machine and Tali's drone was a good distraction.

Yes I probably should have phrased it more clearly, but either can be used to justify your answer. I had intentionally left the question vague because some people value mechanics over personality and vice versa; I didn't want to restrict responses.

Oh, you my friend are wrong about that.
I brought Tali with me on every Insanity mission.

Her two Drones and Shield Drain make her perfect in any situation.

I never touched James or Garrus. Or Javik, in fact I even forgot about him.
It was Liara and EDI, then it was Liara and Tali.

Have you ever tried to kill a Banshee with out a combat drone? It's fucking hard.
