I remember being really let down with the squad in 3

Javik was a great character though

What does everyone think the reception to Jack would be nowadays, if her type of character was announced?

All the human characters are boring except maybe Zaeed

lol this is the reason I'm convinced that Zaeed had to be a Batarian at some point.

Man, fuck Batarians.

What do you call a Batarian without a hostage?

Unemployed

I miss the days of ME3 multiplayer

In response to perceived misunderstandings, elite troops from the now-defunct Batarian Hegemony have issued an official dictate making it clear that medigel works normally on their species, and should in fact be used on injured batarian fighters.

We are pleased to join the galaxy in the fight against the Reapers, as well as Cerberus and geth forces, explained Squad Commander Sharlak Gurek, spokesman for the insular, xenophobic race that had been preparing for war with the Alliance before falling to Reaper forces. And to better serve in that fight, we wish to clarify that applying medigel will absolutely help us regain consciousness when we are lying bleeding on the ground.

Gurek also noted that batarian technology and culture is not so different from those of other species. Many of our new allies in this great struggle seem to think that batarians view warnings about incoming banshees as an insult nothing could be further from the truth, and it would be great if people could let us know when one of those was standing right behind us. Theres also a rumor that our kinetic barriers are thermally charged, and thus we actually benefit from being hit by a geth pyros flamethrower. Were honestly not sure where that one came from.

Admiral Peter Mikhailovich issued a public statement of support for the batarian fighters: As we fight for survival, we must give all due respect to our new allies, said the veteran of the Skyllian Blitz. These warriors are fighting alongside races they had once declared undying hatred for, and doing so without the slaves to treat their injuries, as they were accustomed to. They wish to prove that they can shoulder any burden and fight any opposing force, no matter how horrific the casualties they will incur doing so. We owe them that chance.

Alliance soldiers responded positively to the clarification. You know, I honestly didnt think that batarians bled the way we did, admitted Lieutenant Girard, currently recovering from a fight against Reaper forces on Noveria. But then, Ive only really seen them that one time, on Mindoir. Definitely, though, provided Ive got enough medigel, and that the mission wont be compromised by me trying to give first aid during a firefight, Ill be sure to use that medigel on our new friends from Kharshan. Just as soon as Im done helping any injured salarians, turians, drell, asari, krogan, quarians, or geth.

i didn't care at all for Jacob, Grunt or Thane. the rest were top-notch though.

Grunt was great in the Citadel DLC for ME3. I loved the image of him as a hell-raising teenager, which was much better than the "perfect krogan" from 2.

Javik was a great character though

He has so many great scenes, and is proof that they could pull off a great character even without 1-2 games of back-story to back them up.
Then there's James.

Kasumi was ok too

sadly i never got around to playing Citadel. one of these days.

It's an absolute riot in the best way.

Citadel was the most fanservice-y dlc ever and i mean it in a good way

Mass Effect 2 was a really great game.

They're also why the Citadel DLC is the best part of Mass Effect 3.

you need to play the citadel
its the perfect ending to the series
the real ending was a disappointment and but the citadel is great
after the action parts over its just going around watching your friends goof around and go on dates and throw a party
but thats not a bad thing because those scenes are entertaining and a great way to say goodbye to the characters we have grown to love

also you get more romance scenes with your love interest like when kaiden cooked my manshep a steak and the paragon option was to cuddle on the couch while the renegade option was to head to the bedroom to work off the calories

The only real loss from 1 to 2 is Wrex, and 3 is just a worse version of the OG squad + Javik.

You pretty much summed it up perfectly right here.
