Virmire Survivor: as there's already a thread for one of them, I'll keep it brief. They're the main human squadmate from the first game and the reason range from "Shes racist" which is untrue, to "he's a whiner" which is also untrue. In Mass effect 2 they call Shepard on her/his BS relationship with Cerberus and Gasp! they show that they are able to think for themselves and do not come with you! (this is no joke, I've literally seen people say it's because they didn't come with Shepard and give into them.)
Jacob: He's stable. He's got an incredibly sad LM but does he complain about it? Nope. Doeshe burden shepar with his thoughts and feelings about it? Nope. Does he look for Shepard to give him some profound advice on dealing with it? Nope. He's already over it by the time he's chatting witht eh Illusive man on how it even got to the Normandy! Is ay this because there's even some dialouge where sfemshep can try to "fix him" and he Dumps her. Cooooold blooded Mr. Taylor +25 respect from this forumite. No other squadmate has the power to DUMP Shepard. (Samara rejects you, yes but at the last moment. Jacob just flat out tells you to GTFO) Players hate that (myself included when I unwittingly walked into it) and it could be a big reason why Jacob has some heat on him (outside of Hale's VA with him)
Garrus: this is just from my POV, since Garrus is one of the most popular characters in the series. Personally I can't stand his whining and hot headedness. His first 2 convo's in Mass Effect 1 are him complainaing about Red Tape and how they stop him when he's being hotheaded. He and my paragon Shep's do no get along and end up with him having to back down from his POV becuase of how hot headed he is. Also his "let the council die" line scared me:
"the council MUST be sacraficed. Leave the destiny ascension and focus the human fleet on Sovereign."
Oh Hey TIM, I dind't know you had a Garrus costume. Seriously? you hate red tape that much? someone's not killing Sidonis in two years.
Tali: Honestly, Ic ould take the easy way out and say her fans, but I will not. Tali is a racist. Not a gainst humans (obviously) not against Turians, or salarians, or asari, not even against the Krogan. she's racist against the Geth. in her conversation where she explains the Mourning War she says clearly that the Quarians attacked the Geth when theyw ere nearing sentience and were effectivly driven from their homeworld. All of shepard's lines tell her the Quarians got wha thtey deserved and she says "oh no, they were going to attack anyway we just started it before we even tried peaceful negotiations,since beings of logic are beyond peace." Now I'm sure I'd have beleived that if I played ME1 in 2007 but seeing as I did in 2010 I have prior knowledge of a Geth Platform telling me "We preserve the creator homeworld for their return, we harbor no ill wil for the creators." Tali has an obvious prejudice to wher she even holds Legion at gun point for trying to reveal the sick experiements the quarians were doing to the Geth. Shepard's paragon response puts it perfectly "I'd tell the Alliance if those experiements were on Humans." Legion had Every right to warn the Geth about the experiements and the fact that Tali can't handle it shows taht despite completeing her pilgrimmage she's nowhere near as mature as she needs to be. I'd honestly swap her out with Koris because at least he's open to Peace because he knows the Quarians are in the wrong. Other than hat Tali's a fine character.
Miranda: She's on Shepard's level. She's as close to an equal (pending the filling in of the VS's time during Shepard's death" Shepard has. She's incredibly intelligent, and amazing leader, extrordinalriy talent in combat incredibly beautiful and she knows it. She rubs alot of people the wrong way, but despite that she gets the job done. She's the perfect XO for shepard because she's a task manager and knows the squad's strengths and weaknesses and can plan accordingly. I'd have no worries should Shepard have to leave the Normandy for an extended period of time during ME3 because I know Miri's got it under control.
Welp, there's my take on why those character's recieve alot of heat around the BSN. take what you will from it.
