I'd say Tali is favored so high because she's REALLY nice to Shepard. Same with Garrus.

That's surely part of it. Garrus and Tali are some of the few who always express faith and trust in Shepard's judgement no matter how bad the circumstances. Pretty much the only companions Shepard can call friends.

You should really close that one and make a new one, but this time remove people who are actually CONFIRMED to be ME3 squad member like Ashley/Kaiden, Liara and Garrus, and remove Tali as you did before.... this way you'll get the best overall results of the poll.


not really because the actual aim is to see those people wanted the most before gameinformer and from their see if the full squad members and the short term squad mates match up to the the results

Tali was no surprise but I definitely want her back. Kaidan, also. he wasn't your typical Alliance soldier in ME1 and his romance felt like a romance, not just "I want you...in bed".

Surprised Legion didn't fet more votes, he was an awesome squadmate, as were Wrex and Garrus. Liara was great in ME2 so I'd love to see her back (and she will be).

Mordin was one of my favourite squaddies, and we know he'll be in ME3, probably as a squadmate. I'm also glad to see Kasumi getting some votes. For a DLC character she had some great moments and was much more likeable than Zaeed.

 Garrus is trained, joking, survived a lot of fights, but that`s all. Ashley? simple, plain minded alliance woman that hates everyone non-human (and in one day pay price for it) throwing everyone to enemy line beacause this is "not alliance, not human" even cerberus, blind to ideals that are ugly from inside from very beginning. Ashley is tool of an Alliance as Kai Leng tool of Cerberus.


Grunt can do a lot, he is a krogan and genetically upgraded to the max, he loves fights but still a kid when thinking that he is indestructible -> may backfire. He is a savage, strong, but it really makes no credit to him - he fight, nothing else or little else. Children love to some ultra big guy with a shotgun that takes a lot of hits and one kick tear wall to bits. But promising replacement for Wrex if given teaching.

Garrus? Tactician, general on a battlefield along with soldiers. Perfect team coordination, huge experience and training still lead him to near death state from the mercs hand.

Garrus is a friend that took a wrong way nearly paying for it, thanks the fate he avoided it.

these polls are LI popularity contests. at least some of the people are not voting for their favorite squadmate, they are voting for favorite LI. possibly conducting 2 different polls one for LI's and one for non LI's would be better.

if Ashley and Kaidan are rolled into one group (as honestly they should be, since you can only have one of them come back) they will beat Tali in popularity as you have 2 fan bases voting instead of one.

I love how people try to think for the other`s reasons to love someone or something and start pointing in in the negative case/blaming them for it beacause they don`t agree(kids are kids) and they start to scream if someone in turn offends their interest.

It's hard enough to read through your gibberish but atleast try to think before you type it out.:blink:

Ashley does not hate Aliens, she just doesn't trust them. Also where are you getting that she throws non-humans into enemy lines?

Then you might as well call it a "Squad member popularity poll", because what other motive would make me vote for Kaiden even though I know he's already confirmed other that my desire to see him at the top? this simple fact is skewering the results... that's if you're interested in real statistics of course, anyway it's your poll, let's see how it pans out.

Sorry, i`m not correctly explained this all. Your  point is correct, she does not trust them.  
There are may be errors beacause i`m sleeping already.

Im sorry you are most probably correct but sadly cannot change it without starting the poll from scratch but if ever i do another one I will remember that

Another note for everyone can we try to keep it all friendly discussion about the polls and opinions not an aggressive argument.

Ashely isn't racist against aliens. She's just prejudice.

I was wondering about that myself. Kaiden is often concidered to be one of the less interesting squadmates of ME1. To put it into context he is the Jacob of ME1.

Wrex should also be much higher up on that list given all the hype the charcter gets from ME1 and ME2 fans. Maybe gamers don't really expect Wrex to drop leading the Krogans to go flying around the Universe with Shepard.

As much as I love Miranda I don't understand how she got more votes than Garrus ( conventional wisdom suggests that not many people voted for Garrus because he is already confirmed as a ME3 squadmate ) so I think your data is flawed ( at least partially ). Still glad to see Miranda ranked very high on that list.

To be honest I can imagine its because of him being considering the most normal out of all the characters and is one most people can relate to

Tali coming out number 1 shouldn't be surprising. She always comes out number 1 in the forums. If you had a poll outside the forum then it would probably be different.


I doubt it. I see no reason to believe there's something fundamentally different about people who play Mass Effect and visit the forums and those who play Mass Effect and don't visit the forums. This kind of seems like trying to lay claim to a silent majority, and I'm always skeptical of people who do that. 


As a member of GameFAQs and Kotaku, I can vouch for this. Tali's massive popularity might be a bit exaggerated going by these boards, but it's not the 'haven of Tali fandom wayward of the less enthusiastic internet' that some have stated.

I know people are going to have a soft spot for LIs, and I've always though Tali and Garrus were some of the most likeable.

But I hope people aren't forgetting to appreciate characters like Legion and Mordin too.
Really well written, have interesting subplots, and they're deep as well as hilarious at times.

The flaw of this poll is that it had/has only 1 choice option.

Put 2, and you'll see how things ( radically ) change. I'm not talking about the 1st place, but for from the 2nd down...

When I saw how far down the list Samara was I almost started crying. The chances of her coming back as a fulltime squadmate in ME3 are non-existant and that just breaks my heart man.

Legion,Thane,Mordin and Garrus are my favorites.As long as they are permanent companions,I'm good.They're deep and enjoyable characters IMO.I wouldn't mine Kaiden and see how he has changed.

I know right... it seems the bioware community has done a 180 in regards to Kaidan.

There is a known problem with this polling process. You are asking everyone to pick one character. So they pick their favorite; but then their second favorite is screwed. There is no way to get an accurate picture of fan preferences by asking everyone to pick one.

What you should be doing is have a poll where everyone is allowed to vote for as many as they want. Vote if you absolutely want them to return; don't vote for them if you can live without them. This is affirmation voting and (mathematically) is known to be a better process. To keep everyone from being selected, you could limit someone to voting for half of the options. But that still has a distortionary effect.

To me Samara is one of the most underrated characters in ME.

I am disappointed at how low Garrus is. Seriously, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
