If I choose Goody Two Shoes that means no Krogan.
I want Krogan, love Krogan, need Krogan.

Breeding request accepted.....hehehe....

I'm all for having an "anti-hero", but you need a real "hero" to counterbalance, otherwise you get red-n-black all over and it hurts the eyes.

yes

Of course the squad will be a mixture.

 

If it wasn't clear enough in the initial post, what do you want the majority of the squad to be.

 

ME1 squad were the closest to half and half

 

ME2 was mostly badasses

 

ME3 were good kids

 

ME2 was the best game due to the extreme character development.  Nearly every squaddie had a colorful personal story that we could explore.

I want a mix of characters with different stances. Having only good or bad people is boring for me.

I don't think it needs to be a case of "goody two-shoes" vs "outlaws" - there just needs to be good writing. By all accounts, Jacob was part of the "outlaws" group, being part of Cerberus and all, but that didn't necessarily make him INTERESTING! Heck, the most interest I've seen people give Jacob is pertaining to his botched romance subplot.

 

Give the goodies some interesting stories to tell. Just because their past isn't "checkered" doesn't mean they have to be bland. Look at Shepard's pre-service options for ideas. A child born in space, no homeworld to call their own? Build upon the cultural dissonance, prejudices towards or against those who ARE from homeworlds. Maybe they have a significant past event akin to Mindior or Akuze. Perhaps they've struggled to get where they are, either from external pressure or a personal factor to overcome. Just don't make them ultra-bland military grunts who military the space because earth.

Actually all the mass effect companions are essentially cold blooded killers so none of them are really goody little two shoes no matter how they justify it to themselves at night.

I don't really understand what the categories 'outlaw' and 'goody-two-shoes' apply to. Samara was probably a 'goody-two-shoes' in that she had a moral code and strictly followed the law. But she was also completely ruthless in how she did it. Meanwhile Kasumi was a thief, but was kind, friendly and disliked hurting people.

 

In general, I'd like the team to be a mix of moralities, personalities and backgrounds. Even Saints Row has a mixed bag, and they're all supposed to be affiliated with a criminal gang.

Both. Having just "outlaw" or "Goody 2 shoes"  = boring game.

[Panda]

Outlaws sound lot more interesting. Though although you aren't respected by society, you might not have personality and morals of outlaw- you can still be heroic an goody 2 shoes.

I tend to like reasonable pragmatists.

I don't get along very well with naive idealists and neither ruthless for no-reason people.

 I love how many people are stating the obvious saying "both" or "a mix" and thus contribute basically nothing to the discussion.

I want then to write characters without considering which of these roles they fall into.

 

The audience will place them into neat little categories without the writer's help. 

 

Better writing stems from simply writing characters.

Seems rather simplistic, if Miranda  is an outlaw in ME2 then is everyone else on the SR2 not one too.

I want complex characters and nice mix of different personalities.

Yes. 

 

I want to have more than one character with different outlooks so I also would like a nice mix of personalities to chose from.  

 

I guess it depends on what op means by Outlaw (someone who has broken the law).   I've been told before that I take things too literal.   Robin Hood was an outlaw and so was Quirt Evans (old John Wayne movie).  

 

Jack and Thane would be my idea of an outlaw.  Not real sure a Merc would be an outlaw, more like someone more interested in the pay than the job.    

 

Technically James would be an outlaw, but he was just picking up something for his dad who lied to him and then blackmailed him into staying with him.  And I don't think being in a pro human group automatically makes Miranda an outlaw.   

 

I'd like characters like the crew from Firefly.  Every one of them was complex and interesting.

So because we don't have a clear preference between the two groups we're not allowed to post our opinion?

The topic is about posting your preference, I don't see why ours is so problematic.

I want a rugged Han Solo (Theatrical New Hope Han, not that shitty remake & beyond) type with a big bulge and nice butt and a bad attitude + a treasure tail down from his belly button and a really big gun.

 

Throw in some remorseless thievery, a little indiscriminate killing and a well hidden but pronounced need for some lovin' and make him a LI and that will be my new canon romance for MEA. - no doubt
