I guess I'll list my rankings.   I'll go by numbers and will show an emoticon that represents each number rank...

10     

Liara---she received a 10 from me b/c she's my favorite character.  Intelligent, caring, geeky, can kick a** when needed...what more could you ask for?

9   

Ashley
Mordin
Samara
Jack

8 

Kaidan
Wrex
Thane

7 

Miranda

6 

Jacob
Tali
Legion
Grunt

5 

Garrus

4 

Morinth
Zaeed

To the OP,

Its fantastic that you are doing all of this work to analyze the ME characters. I just have a question about your survey method though. Did you standardize each survey response? I'm just asking because a 1 on my scale would be different from a 1 on someone else's scale. (Just like a 10 on my scale would be different from a 10 on someone else's).

[DigitalMaster37]

Currently over 300, we'll probably stop around 400. Whoever didn't vote please vote.

[Illum.se]

Good job adding some statistics to balance the impression you get from all the threads.

It surprised med that the first survey gave so low results for Liara, with her being an awesome biotic and a LI, but as your analysis suggested, her portrayal in ME2 probably put a good dent in those numbers. Zaeed was more tempting to put in the trash compactor than in the team, hehe.

It's impossible to "standardize" scores in this way... That's why the scale is consistent. 1-10, nothing else.

If you guys want to see the spreadsheet live on Google Docs for yourselves, here's a link:

good stuff. this is a great idea you have

[XX55XX]

I've just punched in the first 450 results into SPSS. Standard deviations are way higher this time. Some means are higher, too. Still, it seems that Mordin still has the lowest standard deviation of the bunch as well as the highest mean.

An interesting read, thanks for posting.

[Finnegone]

So... what's the criteria for ranking the characters? There are many that I found pretty useless as squadmates, but thought they added a lot of value as characters. For example, I never used Mordin, but I enjoyed his character immensely and found him to be quite well-developed. So would he be a low or high score?

[KBGeller]

I ranked them based on how much I enjoyed them and how good their character was over all. I I gave mordin a 9 even though I did not use him for one battle.

Edit: Also, for OP. You dont have Kelly as an option for primary LI.

Anyone else find it a little tough to rate Legion and Morinth? I like them, and they're intriguing and cool, but since I don't know them that well I felt like it was hard to give them a really high score.

[Spectre_Shepard]

bump

I'm glad you remembered to account for those of us who didn't romance anyone in ME1.

Results aren't actually out yet. I'm designing the third iteration of this survey as we speak and I am letting this survey run until tomorrow.

If you really want, you go to the Google Docs spreadsheet link and download the spreadsheet for yourself and plug the results into SPSS or Excel.

Wow...I thought I would be in the minority, having not romanced anyone. I didn't think Kaidan would be less popular than nobody.

Indeed, there are many things that this shows as interesting. Like I did not come close to expecting Wrex at being number 2 in popularity either.

My guess is that this is due to people going back and playing ME1 after finding out about ME2 and preparing their game for it.

Well, some people have gone through ME1 AGAIN with no LI just so their 'main' ME2 LI doesn't feel dirty.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the ME3 drama.
