Liara & Mordin would be a perect duo to lead. No one can lead alone except for Shep.

Liara has a bit or sincere paragon to her new found ruthlessness, but Mordin is realistic and thinks of things on the higher level then just in the moment. They'd compliment each other. Garuss, is to run and gun vigilante, VS, is a a xenophobe, Wrex would make a good leader, but i doubt he has time for that, & Miranda is to Cerberus & pro human even if she resigns.

We are trying to save the galaxy and the species within it.

Lead? Wrex, obviously. He is the oldest squad member in the game which comes with more combat and leadership experience than any other character on the team. Everyone else is either a lone wolf, soldier or has very little experience as a leader.

I wish I could say Garrus but the second the step out of the door, the team would get slaughtered because someone decided to betray the team out of nowhere.

Brand New, I agree that Wrex wouldn't actually have time to lead but everyone else is a worst choice. Has Liara ever lead a combat team with more the one person? I believe Mordin got WTFowned when he lead a team in the Suicide Mission? He's only good for leading civilians.

It is just so hard to say. I feel all the humans are to anti alien & most of the aliens are renegade as hell or lone wolves.

Legion- Geth obviously not, to calculated.

Garuss, running into battle no second thoughts

Tali- To hot headed inexperienced

Jack- Need I say more

Jacob- A gun for hire not a leader

Mordin- a former STG memeber, helped run a clinic on omega for many aliens, has scientific background while good fighter

Thane/Legion/Zaeed/Kasumi  They are all lone wolves

Grunt- is a follower not a leader and is to young.

Liara - A scientist with powerful biotics tons of information and has made rational decisions in many situations such as chasing the spectre when Sheaprd fell from the building or not throwing herslef at sheaprd when they first reunited. Realzied working with Cerberus was important even if they were not the ideal group.

VS Xenophobe

Miranda- Pro human- potental leader, but I feel as though she is to cold or might crack under pressure from built up previous pressures.

I think Wrex is probably the least xenophobic of them all (he despises all spiecies rather equaly, including krogans) and combined with his cool state of mind and solid experience it would make his a trusted commander I think.

Personaly I would love to play as Wrex, Garrus or even Liara in a mission to spring Shepard or some other exuse to play as someone else.

I agree about Jacob. Why the hell did so many people pick Space Kanye? He has no leadership experience.

Once I read the posts, I actually think Miranda would be the best choice. Besides Wrex, I think she has the most leadership experience. She won't crack under pressure. She was trained all her life not to. She damn sure isn't a xenophobe, seeing how she trusted an Asari to help track down the person she values the most, Oriana. She's human so that'll help with the save the Earth angle. Only set back is she is former Cerebus (unless she stays with them if the Collector Base is kept, I guess) BUT Shepard worked with them to and she is in a whole lot less hot water than him. So yeah, perfect candidate.

Well it depends on when, where they are, and how shep got incapacitated for me but my top 3 picks for a leader if shep is out is:

1. Garrus - he'd be my 1st choice he's very loyal and could get the job done even if he had to pick up shep and haul him out himself to do it. I would so trust him with this job.

2. Liara - She went after shep when he died and even though she knew he was a corpse she keep pushing. I think w/ backup she could pull it off.

3. Shep's LI (in my case Tali) - She's not leadership material but if her man was out for the count and Garrus wasn't in the team I think she'd take up the role and say we're doing this come hell or high water with backup I think she'd manage it or give it the most valiant effort.

Jacob, seasoned combat vet, might not have the brass balls for the really big choices though. Seems to like the XO position more.

Garrus, season battler, will make the hard choices, clearly not as good as Shepard.

Mirranda, eh, not in combat, overall though, would be fine.

Zaeed, insert 'well job would get done but he'd be the only one left alive meme.'

The second best option (after Shep) isn't on the squad. Even being a little bit long in the tooth, I think Anderson could step into Shepard's boots rather nicely.

Garrus didn't get his squad his killed, his squad was betrayed by someone on the inside. Before that he was running rampant on Omega, kicking the ever loving shxt out of several merc gangs that had his squad massively outnumbered.

Garrus is an excellent squad leader, which is one of the reasons he's a good choice during the suicide mission to lead one of the two teams when you split up.

Exactly. It seems that no one realizes that he only says he got his team killed is because he feels guilty, whether it was actually him or not.

It wasn't Garrus' fault. Sidonis betrayed him by lying to him about a rendezvous point while mercs killed his entire squad. I bet anyone who trusts their squad to the fullest wouldn't see that coming.

I would choose Garrus, Jacob, or Wrex.

Garrus left his team alone, not to mention that he had a squad in Omega of all places. Garrus is too much of a headfirst guy. His impatience would get everyone killed

Wrex, Garrus, VS, in that order.

The Cerberus people just don't have the personal presence to lead the group of maniacs and mercenaries that Shepard Assembled. VS might not either, but they seem to be more focused their principals than Jacob and Miranda, who are both pure business. It's not good to loose ones head in combat, but a certain amount of passion in necessary to inspire and lead the kind of squad that we're looking at.

Garrus during combat, Mordin or Kaidan overall. I would say Miranda but she's a "book-leader". She knows what to do, and how to do it, but she just doesn't have the "IT" factor to hold respect and trust from her underlings.

1.) Miranda. Smart, efficient leader, has a fire that will drive teammates.
2.) Kaidan. Experienced Alliance officer with impressive service history, never lost any soldiers in his command before ME1.
3.) Garrus. Charismatic and personal history w/ Shepard from prior experience. Honed his leadership skills on Omega.

What about Jacob? You disagree with ME2's assesment of his leadership skills? :lol:

I would disagree with that one. Miranda, to me, is like a QB on your football team that you may not like much on a personal-level, but has a fire in her that helps drive/get the best out of her teammates. It's true that many on the team are not fond of her, but she's someone who I think very few would have any doubts about whether or not she could get the job done.

Absolutely.

To bring out the football metaphor again, all successful QBs can "lead men." Very few can lack that trait and be successful, even if they have all the physical tools. Because if you can't get your teammates to go to war for you, you will almost undoubtedly fail against a more motivated opposition.

So no, I don't see that in Jacob. Just being a "nice guy" and someone the team is all OK by is far from enough. He doesn't have the fire that Miranda has, and he doesn't have the charisma of a guy like Garrus.

Wrex and Garrus. These are the only two I can see leading on more than just a small scale. If it came down to commanding armies, I would pick these two. Wrex first though, since he has the experience and is actually busy trying to lead an entire race.

If we're just talking the squad? Wrex/Garrus/Miranda/Jacob/VS.
