Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have more to say later, but for now, let’s just do a character ranking.
1. Commander Shepard – Whether he’s a Paragon whose leadership commands loyalty and courage to face impossible odds commands respect, or he’s a Renegade whose jerk qualities are extremely entertaining, he’s the best this game has to offer.
2a. Miranda Lawson – SORRY CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THIS YVONNE STRAHOVSKI
2b. Tali’Zorah vas Normandy – Couldn’t decide between Miranda and Tali, but they were my favorite people to talk to (for different reasons, admittedly) and my favorite people to use in battle.
4. Thane Krios – I just love this guy’s backstory, and I love the “assassin with a conscience” thing. His random MEMORY SPACING OUT was pretty awesome, too.
5. Garrus Vakarian – Oh, you want me to explain why he’s not higher on the list? Hmmm…Well, can it wait for a bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations.
6. Mordin Solus – Mordin singing Gilbert and Sullivan is seriously one of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed in a video game.
7. Jeff “Joker” Moreau – “This is all Joker’s fault. What a tool he was! I had to spend all day computing pi because he plugged in the Overlord!”
8. The Illusive Man – Honestly, I’m still not sure if I should love the guy or hate him, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
9. Grunt – Probably a bit high for some people, but I found him entertaining, and he’s awesome in battle.
10. EDI – She plays off of Joker so well. A good pairing, that.
11. Kasumi Goto – I loved gossiping with her on the Normandy, and she had one of the best loyalty missions. Needed more screen time, but hey, what can you expect from a DLC character?
12. Zaeed Massani – His story about nearly getting choked to death by a hanar is awesome. Needed more screen time, but hey, what can you expect from a DLC character?
13. Legion – His talks about the Geth are pretty fascinating stuff, at least in my opinion, but he comes along too late in the game for me to really get attached to him.
14. Samara – Her loyalty mission was pretty interesting, and all the stuff about justicars and code was neat. Her personality was boring to me though.
15. Jacob Taylor – He’s a nice guy, but he’s just…there, for the most part. Despite the fact that he’s one of the first characters in your party, it’s not hard for me to forget about him. His loyalty mission was all kinds of messed up though, in a good way.
16. Jack – The only character on the main crew I’d say I flat out dislike. I’m sure she has a nice personality underneath all that mess on the surface, but that mess on the surface is exactly why I don’t want to explore any further. Plus, she’s constantly at odds with Miranda, and well, yeah.
