why non-DLC? you're leaving out some of the best characters. Kasumi, Zaeed, Javik.

I never played the DLC, I cannot rank them if I have not played it.

oh

Yea, I want to replay the whole trilogy but ME1 is a chore to play imo. It was ok the first time but it is difficult to play after playing 2 and 3.

I know people love Thane but I really could not stand him. I found his dialogue to be pretty annoying, specifically when he would have those flashbacks. EDI is just kinda there to me, and Ashley is Ashley.

7. Mordin Solus

idk how this happened. granted- garrus is literally never not useful, wrex in ME1 is ultra-OP, and you only get mordin in 2, but he's right up there with garrus and wrex as one of the top 3 personalities in the game, and his utility in 2 is so clearly on or off that you know to either not use him or definitely use him.

He is a good character. I just like the 6 ahead of him better

Jack is way too high. From what I remember in ME2, she was borderline useless.

Miranda isn't high enough. She was very powerful in ME2.

I dont think I ever used Miranda. Also I should not have said power rank because I ranked based on how I like them lol

Strange I found ME2 very difficult to play after 1. Gameplay and rpg elements felt really watered down after.

Tali is useless to me, and she'd be bottom 3 for me. Legion and Grunt/Garrus were an amazing combo for me in ME2, since I usually play adept. Samara would be in my top 5, though, but that's mainly because of the biotic combos I'd set up with her. (I romanced Samara all the time, too.)

Kasumi is way too OP, so ranking her is bit unfair because she's insta top 3 by her abilities alone.

You don't sleep with her, and it's all dialog. It's a very complex relationship, and she has the same diease as her daughter (of course). She eventually implies she has romantic feelings for you, and you can do the same, but you can't progress further than that. Her personality is more my type (she reminds me of my gf lol), so I always enjoy getting all emotional with her.

2 and 3 are much better gameplay wise for me. The reheating guns were annoying, the gunplay was meh, and the mako was terrible. When you shot someone in ME1, they just take damage. Does not feel satisfying. In MS2 the enemies react and it feels much better. Idk. Maybe just me

Jack is useless in Hard mode no matter what class you pick because she has nothing that can deal with armor, barrier, or shields. Compared to Miranda who can deal with all of those effectively.

Put Mordin up higher. He may be a scientist but hes also a badass who has taken out entire enemy groups solo. At least canonically.

well.... and he's not just a scientist either. he is the very model of a scientist Salarian.

Didnt he also work for the salarian equivalent of N7/The Specters for a while? So he is an elite scientist and an elite soldier

First game my team was almost always Liara and Wrex. Loved having Liara around simply because Singularity was my favorite power.

ME2 it was Grunt and Mordin. ME3 it was Liara and Garrus, though I tried mixing things up a bit more in 3 than the previous games.
