Poll: You can kill one Mass Effect Squadmate.

[blizzaradragon]

Where is the button for Ashley? She's the only one who needs to die in the Mass Effect universe. If I had to pick someone from Mass Effect 2 though I'd pick Grunt. All he was ever useful for was as a meat shield, and he had too much of a bloodlust for me to like. He was essentially Wrex minus all the cool parts.

Also why do so many people want to kill off Tali? She's the coolest character in the game! Only character cooler than Garrus and Legion.

Edit: Also why isn't Morinth an option? After all you can recruit her, as I'm sure some of the people who dislike Samara have found out xD

 

[Jake0fTrades]

mIRANDA. dAMN HER POTATO FACE AND LOPSIDED ARSE.

aLSO 23 PEOPLE VOTED FOR tALI? tHAT'S JUST WRONG.

Caps Lock?

 

[Vuliev]

Jacob, since he's absolutely useless. Wouldn't miss him at all.

Not sure I understand all the animosity at Jack, though--she's very powerful and very useful against the Collectors. If she ever got out of control I'd put her down instantly, but aside from that I don't see much reason to kill her.

 

[Wurek]

I would go with Miranda. I know that she did have a troubled childhood, but she is still way too arrogant and annoying.

 

[TheTim]

Well if i wanted any of them dead i would have done it in the suicide mission, but since all mine survived, no one

if i had to choose, Jack, hated her, she was the cause of disaster in my first 2 playthroughs.

 

[Shaegor]

I WILL WHACK ANYONE OVER THE HEAD PERSONALLY IF I EVER MEET THEM FOR PICKING JACK...
I'm getting so sick of all the hate on her -_-
She was one of my favourite characters in the game.
Anyway, I'd probably push out Miranda out of the airlock, if her wide buttocks wouldn't block the door.

 

[Princess Rose]

Okay, let's think about this. Let's assume that the player has not recruited Zaeed, Kasumi or Legion (as they are indeed optional.) You have nine teammates now, if you lose Jack, Garrus and Thane because you don't have any ship upgrades, you're down to six. If you lose Mordin as your Tech Expert, Grunt as your team leader, and Jacob as your biotic, you are down to three.

You're required to leave at least one person to delay the Collectors, and you always have to have exactly two squadmates with you at all times, unless scripted otherwise. If you skipped any recruitment missions, you'd only have two teammates left. You can't go off with only one squadmate, and someone has to delay the Collectors while you fight the Human Reaper.

Skipping recruitment missions isn't possible.

That's all very logical.

However, it being logically sound doesn't prove it to be true. It makes it likely, but unless you've actually tried it, you just have a very sound reasoning.

I'm not saying your reasoning isn't sound. But it is possible that the people at Bioware didn't program the game that way.

Note: I'm not saying you're wrong either. I'm just saying that your very good logic does not amount to proof. I'm not trying to piss you off here or anything - I'm just saying that unless someone has actually tried this, we don't really know one way or another.

 

[VaderMan92]

Jack because recruiting a psychopath who is irrevocably damaged in the head seems like such a wonderful idea.

 

[Ensiferum]

Jack but I won't vote because I like Miranda.

 

[Realitycrash]

What, no Shepard? I wanna kill Shepard, or shall I say; The Generic Brown Hair Male I'm In Charge And I'm So Bad Protagonist Shepard that shows up in all the trailers.

Him. LET ME KILL HIM.

 

[elcamino41383]

I vote Jacob. he was the only one that I wouldn't have dared that he died in the final mission. Yet Legion and Miranda died for me

 

[Jake0fTrades]

snip

I know you're not trying to upset me, nor are you even unintentionally. I'm just trying to dissuade you from spending 6+ hours attempting the impossible.

If you're absolutely determined to try it, by all means, go for it. And if it works I'll admit my mistake. But I really think it'd be a waste of time on your part.

 

[masher]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's with this "I -can-," crap.

I don't know, I've come to like all of them. I mean, I don't really care for Miranda, but I still wouldn't want her dead.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

What, no Shepard? I wanna kill Shepard, or shall I say; The Generic Brown Hair Male I'm In Charge And I'm So Bad Protagonist Shepard that shows up in all the trailers.

Him. LET ME KILL HIM.

You realize you're able to change his appearance at the beginning of the game?

 

[sephiroth1991]

Can both Jack and Miranda die...no...fine Jack then the whiny ***** needs to stop acting like the whole world revolves around her.

 

[Arisato-kun]

After going through Jack's romance I opt for not Jack. She's by far my favorite female in the series.

Jacob was bland. Let's free up the space for someone more interesting.

 

[Olorune]

I voted Jacob. He was the most boring character I've ever seen. I purposely killed him off in the game. I'm not sure why Jack is getting so many votes; I'd rather have an interesting nut-job on my team than a boring skilled-soldier any day. Thane definitely takes second place, though. He seemed useless once they revealed Kasumi. Don't need an thief and an assassin. Just combine them into one character/class; their skill set would be similar anyway.

 

[tobi the good boy]

Ok, a lot of Jack hate in here I see. I thought she was pretty reasonable considering she was physically abused as a child, experimented on, forced to wander her whole life being used by people and her only escape was pretty much being imprisoned on a mission that nearly guaranteed an imminent demise. Oh yeah and the people that are keeping her under lock and key are the same organisation that experimented on her.

But that's just me. If i could kill anyone it would probably be ... Morinth? The only squad mate that I actually hated was her and she's sorta dead.

EDIT:

Can both Jack and Miranda die...no...fine Jack then the whiny ***** needs to stop acting like the whole world revolves around her.

How? she specifically goes out of her way to go to the most secluded part of the ship so she doesn't interact with the world.

 

[SinorKirby]

Not that this needs a lot of explanation.

On the contrary, the title could be clearer. I thought that you meant Mass Effect, either the first game or the series.

OT: Grunt. He's a terrible replacement for Wrex, and should be murdered for that.

 

[Olorune]

What, no Shepard? I wanna kill Shepard, or shall I say; The Generic Brown Hair Male I'm In Charge And I'm So Bad Protagonist Shepard that shows up in all the trailers.

Him. LET ME KILL HIM.

You can change his appearance and it carries over from Mass Effect 1 anyway. For games where appearance is customizable, it seems like a better idea to show the character as somewhat of a blank slate.
