Mass Effect

ScrumblesPAbernathy, in Garrus Vakarian Wallpaper

He's mad because he got interrupted during his calibrations. I always played femshep so I could woo that beautiful bastard.

Captain Bailey. Not because he was a great guy or anything, but he was a well written and voiced character. He is in 2 of the games and plays a somewhat important side role to the story.

I always wanted a mass effect spin off game that took place on the citadel. You'd play as a detective in csec and work with/under Bailey.

That matriarch bartender was also a legend.

For me, I think a good example would be Greg Adams (the chief engineer). Other ship crew members like Joker and Doctor Chakwas, or even Gabby and Ken, get plenty of love, but it seems like most people overlook/forget about Adams.

I suspect it's at least partly because he's quiet, unassuming, and tends to mostly nerd out about the Normandy. Maybe that's also why I like him! The nerdy banter between him, Gabby & Ken, and Tali is great fun. I also love the quiet conversations between him and Karin Chakwas that you can overhear in ME3.

Could we not start this group/magazine off by pitting people against each other dependent on who their favourite companion is?

Let people like their own favourites, it doesn't have to be a competition...

Frame it as "Tali's my favourite, this is why", and I'll support you all the way, regardless of who my own favourite may be. But stating that it's "widely accepted that Tali is the best"? No, sorry, it's not. Everyone has their own favourite romances/squadmates.

(And for the record, I like Tali, she's one of my favourites too. This isn't an anti-Tali post. It's a 'please be welcoming, not antagonistic' post.)

Agreed. Phrasing it as you suggested also invites further conversation.

Just a light hearted post. I think waifu wars are inevitable in mass effect communities, I'm just trying to mark the fire hydrant first.

My biggest issue with mass effect was always that I couldn't have Tali, Garus, and Mordin in my party at the same time.

Tali is definitely in my top 3 favorite companions!

Just make sure to keep both Tali and Mordin with you on the final fight in ME2 or they have a tendency to get clapped. Mordin's dialogue in ME2 made him the instant fan favorite for sure. There is a romance mod for Mordin...

Cor_bot,

My first run through I sent Tali in the vents and she was fine. But I've heard of people having similar issues with her Squishiness.

Both Tali and Legion should be able to make it through provided that they are loyal, as far as I'm aware.

Yeah, Tali and Legion are the best choices for the vents, but towards the final fight she and Mordin are high in the priority list to die if left to hold the line and you don't have a strong enough defence. I made that mistake on my first playthrough of ME2, taking Garrus and Tali to the final fight (taking one of the strongest defending characters from the defence), thus Mordin died at the end. That involved a reload and a replay of that mission so I could have him in ME3 lol
