Miranda Lawson, because...

*she's an independently powerful and competent woman
*she's pragmatic and morally ambiguous
*she's reserved and professional, keeping her emotional side to those few she trusts
*she's a woman, not a girl
*she's unapologetically sexual
*she's human
*she's genenetically enhanced, representing an advance for humanity
*she's larger-than-life herself, being a perfect companion for a larger-than-life hero like Shepard.

Honorable mention: Mordin Solus, Gianna Parasini and Kate Bowman.

I like Kaidan because he brings up some intriguing issues about power, perceived power, and what happens when you have more of the latter than the former. The whole background story about BAaT is fascinating to me. Plus, if he goes all renegade, the phrase "way to go, team Milky Way" is definitely worth something.

I also like Ashley. She's the everyperson, the soldier who's just a soldier. People make a lot of her distrust of aliens, but Ash always said what she thought needed to be said and was willing to take the heat for it. She was also willing to revisit her opinions as she experienced new things. I didn't really like her "I'm a hellcat" routine so much when I played through as a male Shepard, but when I played a female I appreciated her humor and her plain-spoken nature.

Morlan, because i often find myself in need of many good supplies. I was pleased, I think. Very good things he has, as I saw.

To those that said Ashley or Kaiden ........How, just........how!? Kaiden is always yelling at you and Jacob is boring...I guess to each their own.

Mordin Solus, definitely. And I'm genuinely surprised he's not getting more mentions here. Such an interesting and intelligent character. His loyalty mission is my favorite part of the series so far; both sides of the conflict are easy to understand and relate to, and something that appears so malicious turns out to be just about the most compassionate solution to a very difficult situation.

Kaidan doesn't yell at me very often, actually.  Then again, if you play a renegade you have to work to get him to go along with it.  Unless you're talking about ME2, which I sort of don't blame him for.  I've said before I wouldn't respect a man who just took my word for it if I said I came back from the dead.  And I don't care much for Jacob.

But now that I think about it, Joker's probably the best one.  Guess I just took that as such a given I didn't even mention it.

He doesn't get more mentions here because the LIs dominate the lists. But you're absolutely correct. I really like Mordin, and not just because he's funny. His LM brings home that there's always more than one side to a problem, and that reality is, as a rule, too complex for simplistic moral formulas.

She has a Ph.D. (or the asari equivalent), she can flay people alive with her mind...and she is the SB. I also love her as a party member.

Honorable mention: Miranda, Shiala, Mordin, Samara, Morinth

always?  did you play ME1 by any chance, or do you only have horizon to go by (and even then, he doesn't start yelling untill you confirm his suspicions about Cerberus)?  As for Jacob being boring... indeed to each their own, as I personaly find him to be very interesting, whereas I find Tali for example to be exceptionaly boring.

as for the actual topic - honestly I have no idea.  A lot of the characters are very well written, with interesting back stories, morals, conversations..  Mordin is certainly one of the favorites, but I won't call him THE favorite.

I'm going to pick Matriarch Aethyta becasue she rarely fails to amuse me, she seems to have a fair bit more depth to her then at first apparent all the while being refreshingly straightforward and honest in her interactions.  like Mordin, she's merely one of the favorites, but I suppose I gotta chose someone :P

I played Paragon and in ME1 he always yelled at me... lol ...and would also not like many of the things I did EVENTHOUGH it was the Paragon choice...But I used him cuz of his decryption and healing. And then in ME2 he's even more of an ****. Screw Kaiden...And well Jacob, well he's boring 'ol Jabob. Miranda anyday cuz of her Overload. And yes agreed, Joker is AWESOME.

If you have subtitles on, all of his "sentences" pretty much end in exclamation marks. My other team member (Usually Liara) would always respond in a calm tone voice and then he'd scream to add his opinion on it. (Eventhough it was Paragon choices) ....... Yeah. =/  And Tali is awesome. ^_^ (Though I prefer biotics over tech, personality wise she's definitely a keeper...but yeah, my opionion. :P)

Ah, that explains it.  I never play with subtitles on, and I played KotOR and Republic Commandos so maybe I'm used to Raphael Sbarge's performances.  And, if you can't hear the actor, excessive exclamation points can get really annoying.  Fair enough.

A lot of characters are well written. For example -Mordin, his dedication to help others and to science, aware of ethical issues implied. -Joker, his strenght and will. He became the best although he's handicapped. And, of course, his humor. -Miranda, driven to become more than she is by birth. Struggling for her self-esteem, because she felt determinated to be perfect. ...

My favorite? A woman: honest and brave, cheeky and forward (in a positive meaning) with a good humor, independent and caring, a little stubborn but willing to rethink her attitudes. She never takes care if she pleases Shepard. But she cares for him and want's him to care for her and if he does she can show her vulnerable side. A tough soldier and beautiful woman, even in combat armor. By far, she's not perfect, but who is? Her flaws make her even more credible.
''I dont need money, a knight in shining armor or a man to make me happy, this is who i am....i like her *with a smile* and you best too''
Of course, i'm talking about Ashley M. Williams

ah.. subtitles :/ I never play with them either, I listen to the actors instead and Sbarge has a very soothing voice as Kaidan. when going by voice only, the only time he ever yells is at Udina, when landing on Ilos and that weird bit of voice acting before the final battle (but everyone yells there for some reason... make me wonder if they are shell-shocked or something :/) Honestly - playing KOTOR now, I don't get Carth thing at all - the acting is completely different, his voice in ME sounds lower, slower, more measured, almost guarded - Carth is just blurting things and opinions out, all...the... time... with a lot of passion. I like them both, but they are two very, VERY different characters.

As for Tali.. I don't know... I honestly don't get the appeal, to me she is bland and forgettable, the only reason she gets to leave the ship in ME2 is because of my deep appreciation for Chiktika Vas Paus.

P.S. Ashley can go paragon as well, if you talk her into it.

For me the best Character has to be Legion, All you hear about is how the geth want to destroy everything and how they forced the quarians off there home world. Legion shows us that they were only defending themselves rather then mindlessly rampaging and that they do not wish to 'take over the galaxy'

On another note the worst Character has to be Jacob, he just has no input to the structure or plot of mass effect.

In ME1 I wasn't too into her, but the stuff in ME2...Her loyalty mission was awesome, the trial was so passionate, a true demonstration of their friendship. And the cute stuff she says afterwards...And the fact she's just stuck in that suit forever (Without her getting sick)...It makes for a sad story!
