Nope. Heck, I thought Ashley was the most "realistic" character; I could really relate to her. Love Kasumi, Zaeed. Kaidan isn't bad, I just can't not see Carth when I hear him :P . Jack has a very interesting story. Jacob is a bit "boring", but he's the only sane party member on the Normandy, so he gets some bonus points. Miranda isn't boring, but I really don't care for her.

Of course, all characters are boring compared to Mordin, but there's not much to be done about that.

Well there is one tiny problem with your Argument about humans being boring. Kasumi Goto. I wouldn't say she's the best Bioware character overakk(with HK-47 and half of ther DA:O origins squad) but definitely in the top ten, and definitely the best Mass Effect character. Oh by the way only Jacob is actually boring. Miranda, Jack and Ashley are revolting but definitely not boring. And this is just the squad. What about Anderson? And Udina, the second worst politican after my prime minister? Or perhaps TIM? None reach the level of Kasumi but only Jacob is boring. And Garrus

No, as the human characters in general tend to be more balanced and nuanced than the alien characters, for whom the double standard "Well, they're aliens so it's normal." is too often used as a convenient excuse for their simplified behaviour.

They're not "boring", they're familiar because they're human. Against the flashy new alien looks and personalities they fade into the background. I guess that's why they're boring for some.

I generally prefer the human characters over the alien characters. Mordin is the only alien that would crack my top five of favorites.

Kaiden, aka Carth Jr., is the only character I find boring.

Alien characters like Liara are the most boring(she admits it too!).

I think its the exact opposite. Yes ME2 had a few interesting aliens like Mordin, Thane, Samara and Legion, but the human members were just more interesting. In ME1, interesting crewmembers fell to Ashley and Wrex. Garrus was sort of the lost boy in search of a surrogate father, Tali was about as interesting as furniture, and Kaidan was unfortunately uninspiring.

DA: O was a bit more Balanced. The most interesting characters Were Morrigan, Leliana and Sten. There's only 2, in some cases 3 other non humans on the team, and I couldn't say I cared more for them or Allistair and Wynne.

I think it depends on the individual character personality, and what people personally prefer.

Personally I find Joker, Ashley, Jack, Kasumi, Zaeed, Mordin, Legion, Garrus, Wrex and Samara to all be very interesting. Morinth too, though I dislike her.

Hey, hey now.


Furniture can be very interesting.

Then again, Tali isn't a male, so that link may or may not apply.

I've always found Jacob and the VS to be very boring, but on the other end of the scale Jack is one of the most interesting characters imo. They cover a good range of interestingness.

... This is as been stated is a matter of taste.
Kaiden
Poor Kaiden has the diservice of having one of the more support based classes in ME1 and being essential the straight man of the group. IE Kaidan always gives the more level headed and thought out response, and even when you team mates are acting like bloodthristy pyschoes. Honestly Kaidan would have benefited greatly from ME2's combat reboot.

I think also it might be little bit of revenge for Carth is why Kaiden seems to be the one left on Vimire the most

Ashley: I'm not particularly fond of Ashley and her alien issues, and she's pretty much subing for Wrex in the let's just kill them options. but as one board told me, you leave Kaidan to die and save the Girl. I mean i think some parts of her history are neat and she's effectively the Renegade to Kaidan's Paragon. I'm just not that attached to her maybe its the idea that she's the violent but really sensitive one that irks me. She'll quote something about the complexity of life and then five minutes later being demanding somethings blood.
Hell when it came down to it, I picked on of the stable l2 Biotics over the run of the mil soldier... Sorry, Humanity needs as many powerful biotics we can get!.

oddly enough
Miranda being a straight up ***** from the get go and just running with it worked more for me, they trying to give Ashley a deep insightful mind but juxatposed with her bigotry and bloodlust.
Granted... as far as Biotics go Kaidan > Miranda cause miranda couldn't even do the one thing she's good at!

Jacob's honest and aside his father issues serves very much Kaidan's role of Paragon to Miranda's Renegade, which is funny since Miranda is the Paragon to Jack's Renegade

Jack is an interesting nutcase... but you've seen it before sadly

Zaeed is the man consumed by revenge

and Kasumi is the optimistic one... and frankly the most needed to liven up the ME2 crew since even Tali has baggage now.
