I'm restarting a thread that some nit decided to post in the non-spoiler forum, so here we are.

Who is your favorite squadmate, why, and what did he/she do that finalized your decision?

For me, it's Legion. The fact that he goes against the stereotype of "computer overlord that desires to destroy all organics", along with EDI, is something that has earned my respect and admiration.

Wit and Humor, Mordin



Looks, Grunt

[FROST4584]

I can't deside. Their are too many. At first glance I thought none of them were going to be likable. Instead I like pretty much all of them.

[Tattters]

Legion!



Especially with his super sniper.

[stylepoints]

Legion, the new angry garrus, mordin and grunt are all good ones. Legion is the best by far though

[Inverness Moon]

Legion is fascinating, definitely my favorite.

[Arcadionn]

hum... tough choice... Tali is well done emotionnaly - Legion is really great, which is only exacerbated by the fact I am a BSG fan - Mordin is great for humor. Jack is a nice character, it can evolve in many directions.

Legion is also my favorite. I'm reminded of Isaac Asmimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" after listening to Legion talk about his Geth faction.

Isaac Amisov's three laws state:

1.) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2.) A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3.) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

It seems as though Bioware rearranged the laws for Legion's Geth into:

1.) A robot must protect its own existence.
2.) A robot may not injure an organic or, through inaction, allow an organic being to come to harm, except when the First Law is threatened.
3.) A robot must obey any orders given to it by organic beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First or Second Law.

Everything Legion has said and everything he's told me about the non-heretical Geth have followed those exact laws. The heretical Geth, on the otherhand, seemed to have erased the second and third laws from their code.

I agree. This means that it is possible for the non-heretical Geth and the Quarians to actually coexist. Maybe in Mass Effect 3, we'll be given the option to convince the Geth to allow the Quarians to come home. That would be just awesome.

Edit: Especially since the Geth can survive on worlds with no atmosphere, it makes it easier for them to resettle elsewhere.

I like Mordin's wit and humor

I liked Miranda's back story, describes why she is like she is.

Legion is cool just because you can talk to the non brainwashed Geth.



Grunt did absolutely nothing for me (I'm a Krogan, I want to kill things, and you wish I was Wrex)

[Corben158]

Tali and Garrus, the good ole times

[MerchantGOL]

All of them are great [sept for miranda]



My absolute favorites are Tali and Mordin thogh

[ThatDancingTurian]

Garrus, totally. He had so much depth in this one, he was kind of heartbreaking. I liked my Paragon Shepard having to remind him of the good guy he was and sort of reel him back in. Kind of an ego boost that most of the ME1 squad kind of goes to heck without Shepard's shining influence.



Next would be Tali, because she's awesome and adorable. Then Mordin, for self-explanatory reasons. Then Grunt and Miranda. Then everyone else.



Loved them all, though.

[LucidStrike]

Jack. Contrary to common preconceptions, Jack's actually pretty introspective and observant. She's so charming. I love that the romance scene was clothed. I'm not sure if there was any sex, but it'd be awesome, even with just cuddling.



Tali. Dunno why I find her so charming, but I do. Probably her altruism and compassion.



Legion. Geth as (anarchist) collectives? **** yeah! D:<

[Soldier989]

Legion, Zaeed, and Mordin, Tali is awesome too.

[elearon1]

Tali - she charmed me in the first game and continued to do so in this one. She is so sincere and approachable ... plus she seems to be the one squadmate who cares for you the most.



Other than her, Thane - he is stylish, spiritual, and damned good at what he does. He was also one of the people I always felt like I could talk to without being judged or having to deal with their preconceived ideas of who you were.

[ThatDancingTurian]

Whoever your favorite is, I think the ME2 cast was leaps and bounds better than the first. Ash and Wrex? Okay, they were cool. Liara and Kaidan? Meh. And they took my two favorites from the first, Tali and Garrus, and actually found a way to -improve- their awesomeness.



What I loved best about ME2 was no Kaidan! Good grief how I hated him.

[Creylon]

Thane, Miranda and Mordin are awesome. Of course Garrus is a old favorite

[evan Derdowski]

mordin and miranda are deff awesome and deff love miranda for the love intrest

All of the romance scenes are clothed. 

[Crackseed]

All of the characters are great, but I definitely have 3 that stand out the most...

1) Tali - while Liara was the romance option I chose for ME1, I definitely found Tali to be sweet and endearing in ME1. She was just a genuinely interesting character as well and seeing how she has developed in ME2 was just awesome payout. Absolutely expecting her return in ME3.

2) Legion - I love robots/mechs/sci-fi like this and having a sentient/unique squaddie like this is just fan service all the way. Of all the new squadmates, this one is the best. My only regret is we get so little time with it if we don't balance our mission spread right, but again - amazing character. Love the voice overs, the lore, just...everything. I will be completely bummed if we do not get him back for ME3.

3) Mordin - I wasn't sure about him due to his speech in the previews but he's totally won me over xD His topics, moral code and interesting discussions really set him apart and sealing the whole thing with his fatherly sex talk before you romance your LI is just...oh god I died laughing.

Special shout-out to the Asari Bartender on Illium and Joker/EDI commentary. I'd have Bioware's babies alone for their VO/Character work xD

[Fuzzyrabbit]

Mordin was my favorite. Legion and Jack are runner ups for their detailed character quirks and emotiveness. I love the way Jack can say "**** you, Shepard" with such affection.

[Duvel_Duvel]

Mostly picked my companions for their stats/skills



Really wanted the extra overload and warp people to get rid of the various defenses on the enemies.



So Miranda usually came along for her skill that gave extra health + damage to the whole squad.

3rd person depended if it was a mission with organics or robots.



On a personal level Tali shone, as well as Liara, I was really moved by her story.

Mordin was pure hilarious comedy.



Legion came too late to really get an impression, I hardly knew him before the reaper was already dead.

[Eradyn]

Garrus. All I can say is "Kudos" to BW for making him such a deep, complex character and a total badass. Loved his lines. I ended up liking all the squadmates (to various degrees), but Garrus is, of course, my favorite (of ME1 and definitely now ME2).

[TOBY FLENDERSON]

Legion and Grunt all the way. Mordin also had his moments fro me. Least favorite was Jacob.
