For, it would be Mordin. Why? The internal conflicts that Mordin endures is reflective of the fact that regardless how much organic life has progressed, we will still be mired by ethical dilemmas that we can hardly find the perfect solutions for. Mass Effect (despite the lack of real consequences) is a game defined by choice and to a degree, consequence. Mordin's internal conflicts over his decision to release the genophage best reflects this.


I agree. His choices reflect, in a way, the choices you make in the ME series. Some choices were hard to make, but you chose them because you thought they were the right ones. Sometimes you end up regretting the choices you make like Mordin, but you have to soldier on with the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Saren, hands down.



He embodies so many facets so well: Organic vs synthetic. The gradual succumbing of self to the reapers; indoctrination and implantation and the futile struggle to resist. Hopelessness, despair...and eventually hope and redemption. He's a Spectre, he's an enemy. He's a patriot, he's a traitor. He's the personification of a cycle that has occurred countless thousands of times before him, one which the player is watching unfold via the game. He symbolizes the inevitable fall of every civilization...the destiny of every sapient being before the reapers.



It makes me wonder how many "Shepards" have come before our own, in the history of the ME universe. How many other civilizations in past cycles have resisted and had their own "Spectres" and heroes. Which would be a depressing thought and leads me to hope that BW doesn't half-ass the ending with some sort of lolwut trump card that takes out the Reapers like a Sunday-morning stroll. If we take out the Reapers, I hope it's done in a very epic, wow-this-explains-why-no-one-else-succeeded-before way.



Or maybe I'm just tired and am reading too much into it with all my babbling. XD

All of them are great, I must agree, but if I had to choose; It would be I, the Biotic God!

The Legion is always the first thing I think of relating to Mass Effect, so probably that. The entire concept of the Geth and their role in ME is a pretty significant factor, and it happens to be my favorite character.

I'd have to go with Saren too. I'd be reluctant to name a human character in large part because what makes the Mass Effect Universe so engaging is the diversity of 'people' in it, and the conflicts between them - I mean, I see real humans every day, so that doesn't really do it for me. What I love about Mass Effect are the aliens and how they interact, their differences and similarities, and how awesome that would be if there were that many intelligent species out there in reality.



And I just think Saren is damn cool.

Sovereign or Vigil. The behind-the-scenes/looming-threat thing really exemplifies the greatest threat in this particular universe.

Ashley - she pretty much personifies humanity's stance in the galaxy and their relationship with the alien species around them.

Matriarch Aethyta.

A whole civilization stuck in technological and cultural stagnation because the high-ups fear the consequences of exploration, research and making contact with new species more than the slow death they doom their civilization to. And one of the few who dares name the problem gets laughed at.

The behaviour of the Council re:Reapers is just a symptom of this more general problem with Citadel civilization.

Garrus



Because the only thing close to being as badass as Garrus is the whole ME trilogy its self.
