Poll: You can kill one Mass Effect Squadmate.

[gbemery]

Damn this is a hard choice...I had to choose between Jacob or Jack....I hate both of them with a passion. Jack with her constant "I'm a victim, no one likes me, but thats alright because fuck them all I cut myself at night" attitude and Jacob with his "Wanna be friends? 8D" attitude....I chose Jacob because atleast Jack makes me hate her because of who she is as oppose to me hating Jacob who doesn't really build up a character background to hate.

 

[samaugsch]

Definitely Jack, I didn't want her crazy ass to begin with. She's a nonsense character imo.

I second this. She was pointless, and I hated her.

I second your seconding (third it), Damn! how I hated her. She was so friggin' obnoxious and stuck up. I just wanted to kill her the second I got done with her recruitment mission, because that's when she starts acting like a *****.

Edit: And who really wants a mentally unstable psychic criminal, really? (Who just bitches all the time)

And what if your Shepherd was an adept? You wouldn't need her at all then.

 

[BodomBeachChild]

Hold the bus... Kanye West is not getting the axe? What the hell people?

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Any given human. It really doesn't matter which. To be honest though, I liked Jacob and Jack a bit more so they're safe but other than Shepard, I would love it if Miranda, Ashley (god how I hate her), Kaidan...I'm not playing a Sci-Fi, Fantasy epic to interact with the damned humans. I want to take out Cerberus and 80% of humanity...as Blasto

On the poll though, I pick Miranda.

 

[JoeThree]

For the record, I voted for Jack, not Miranda.

 

[Harry Mason]

Who on earth would kill Tali? I mean, what?

My answer would have to be Grunt. Having no character was PART OF HIS CHARACTER. Just awful.

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

Jacob. His voice actor was dull and his character was dull. I liked all the other characters, although, Thane would be the next one because his voice gets horrible to listen to for a period of time.

 

[Amadeus10]

Jack, Jacob, Grunt, Thane, Samara.

*looks at votes for Tali, adds another 49 names to the list of "people who don't bother actually trying to understand a character they dislike"*

Yes, because everyone has to have the same preference in people as you do. If they don't, then they just don't understand what their talking about.

My brain. It hurts.

I'm not saying that. It's more of the people who are just dismissing Tali as a racist for her dislike of the geth, without seeming to have considered that she is only 24, and the geth uprising was 300 years ago. She wasn't around for that. All she has to go by is her current living condition, and what the other quarians, including her father, tell her.

To me, it's like hating someone for being racist when their ancestors of 300 years ago die, and you are raised being told to hate those people. Besides, how often do the geth and quarians sit down over a cup of tea to explain the misunderstandings? If they have other issues with her, ones a bit more subjective, I can accept that. Maybe not really understand, but accept it. It's the ones who glance at Tali, sees "hates geth", and think that is her entire character that I have issues with.

*kicks away soapbox*

Tali. I find her about as interesting as a wart on Wrex's ass. She was completely useless in the first game, and was only slightly more badass in the second. I don't need socially awkward bullshit. I was certain I left that behind when I finish school.

I agree with this one, besides she never even showed her face. I wish she wasn't in Mass Effect 3, hopefully I can kill her off early on.

I'm pretty sure she won't be in ME3 if you have her die at the end of ME2.

In that event I have to find a way so only she dies, I liked all the other characters. This could be hard.

 

[Jaime_Wolf]

I found Grunt to be obnoxious - never really found much humour despite the clear attempts toward it in the writing. Most of the attempts to make him a compelling character just made me more contemptuous of the writing and the "haha look I'm like an adult, but also like a clueless kid" gimmick just didn't do it for me at all.

Also, reminded me of an awkward caricature of Wrex, who I found much, much more compelling.

Jack got more reasonable over time and her intro, chasing her through the blasted bulkheads, was easily one of my favourite parts of the game (even if it was some particularly painful cutscene-gameplay strength asymmetry). Jacob was so unceasingly bland that he didn't really grate, even if he didn't stand out in any way whatsoever. And Miranda was at least interesting even if she did have some serious "being popular is so horrible" mojo going on.

 

[Drummah]

Jocob needs to die. His sidequest sucked, he sucks, he bores me, and no one likes a boyscout.

 

[Sariteiya]

Miranda. I felt she sort of had a hollow backstory, ("Poor me, I'm genetically perfect! Boo hoo hoo.") However the last straw was when every time I went to talk to her, (As FemShep no less,) the camera hovered lovingly over her ass. I got so sick of her paper thin T&A role in a game that overall had more depth. I felt she was dragging the whole thing down, especially in such a central role. Also, she's a huge ***** when it comes to Jack, for poorly established reasons. So, yeah, her.

 

[aprildog18]

Probably Jack. Through most of the playthrough I kept wondering if Jack was going to destroy my ship and kill all of us.

Sidenote: Why is Zaeed only 40 and Mordin 50 (when avg lifespan is 40)

*according to Bioware

 

[tycho0042]

I saved my whole group but I really don't like Jack she just pisses me off with her angry at the world bullshit. At least miranda is sociable(somewhat)

 

[Saulkar]

HooRaa! Miranda needs to take a flying fuck at a sharp thing sticking from a conveniently placed wall.

 

[MoeTheMonk]

I voted Jack/Miranda, but only for Jack. It's been stated a million times this thread, but I hated her emo, foulmouthed, bad-girl ***** attitude that she constantly had.
I actually liked Miranda though, I hated her at first, but after her loyalty mission I really started to warm up to her. Of course, I also liked Ashley and didn't mind Kaiden much so I guess that puts me at odds with most people.

 

[WonderWillard]

Tali. She strikes me as the stalker type, that FREAKS OUT if you choose some other girl over her.

Also, I see a lot of hate for Jack here. She indeed can be a *****, but after doing a playthrough where you romance her, she really opens up a lot, and I now like her as a character more.

 

[Himmelgeher]

I voted Jack/Miranda for Miranda. I have a general tendency to dislike racists. That aside, where are the other four ME squaddies, or if we're limiting it to ME2, Zaeed and Kasumi? Equality and all. I have to wonder if all the votes for Tali are from people who genuinely don't like her (I refer to them as the "incorrect" people) or from people who dislike Talimancers...

 

[Robertus2210]

Jacob because it takes real skill to be even more boring then thane.

if you had a party he would be the guy you'd invite not because he was fun to be around or that everyone likes him but instead well ''he's always been friendly to me....so i supose i should be friendly back''

my absolute favs where grunt and samara btw
