i wasn't that fond of jack when i recruited her (arguing on a ship going down in flames....) but she grew on me when i started talking to her.

[SleepyBird]

Jack annoyed the crap out of me in the ad campaign, but I liked her in the game. Although she wasn't allowed to leave the ship till she put a goddamn shirt on. (Except for the mission to get the shirt of course)

[Pacifien]

I didn't think I was going to like Jack based on the promo videos, but her instant dislike of Cerberus made a good impression on me. I thought Grunt was going to be a generic warrior based on those videos as well, but he's like a puppy. I like puppies.



I thought I was going to like Jacob, but he was overshadowed quick. Each playthrough has an element of desperation to find something about Jacob that interests me. All I find is wasted potential. He doesn't even follow through on our night out on the Citadel. The psychology of my disinterest in him is starting to wear me down, and now I feel almost compelled to defend him against other people's dislike of him because it's not his fault he's such a lackluster brooder.

Heh.  I love that image.  "Here's the desk I used to hide under and cry... oh, and here's that shirt.  I was wondering where I lost that.  Okay, let's blow this place." 

Myself, I'd actually say Samara. The promo materials didn't make her seem that interesting, and the first playthrough I kinda ignored her. But doing her conversations on subsequent plays, she was a lot more deep and interesting than I gave her credit for.

Grunt also gets some of this, too. On the ship, I think he's really dull. But his reactions to some of the stuff that happens on missions are some of the funniest.

I totally agree about Jacob.  Such a waste of potential!  He mentions in one of your first conversations saying he was an Allience corsair - a freaking Sir Frances Drake in space!  Awesome!!!  But then he never talks about that again.  And is annoyingly judgemental of everyone else you recruit.  And shoulder bumps me like some dumb frat boy.  Bleahhhhhh.

Hahaha, I didn't think of it that way.  Poor girl had only one shirt and accidentally left it behind in all the confusion of her escape.

jacob, i thought he was boring but after a while i thought jacob was.....hmm wait, forget i said anything, jacob is still boring

[Beholderess]

Didn't like Grunt from the start, but he turned out to be hilarios)



And, while she isn't a squadmate, I hated EDI at the start of the game, but by the end she became one of my favourite characters in all ME universe.

 Sorry Tali fans, but I hated Tali in ME1, and in my first playthrough in ME2 i hated her still but slowly i started to like her more and more. Now shes my favorite next to Garrus, Miranda, and Grunt. Similiar thing happened with Thane, I used to think he was to pasient and was my least favorite but now i really like him. What about you? Have any similiar situations?

I didn't care for Tali at first, at all.  My initial impression was much the same as the individual that wrote Mock Effect.  However, the first time I included her into my squad(I always try and balance the tech/biotic/combat levels in ME1), I found myself laughing at her comments, and was very surprised by how well she handled that shotgun.  Before ME2 came out, I already loved the character.  My main Shepard is very pleased with having her in his arms at the end of ME2.

Other characters I didn't like at first... hrm... Jack.  When I first met her and she called my Shep a ****, I wanted to put a round in her head.  She tries pretty hard to be abraisive enough to keep you annoyed with her, but at the same time you can pick up the signals on how alone she feels.  After her loyalty mission, I genuinely felt sorry for her and was doing my best to help her.

Miranda... is just a ****.  I'll never like her, and enjoy engineering her death on occasion.  She's on par with Ashley in terms of earning my hatred.  It's only increased by the fact that I found both characters downright necessary in my squad for each game.  Downright aggravates me that Kaiden ended up dead in several playthroughs purely on the basis that I needed Ash's firepower.

[Lord Coake]

Zaeed. At first, I constantly passed over him, and wasn't all that impressed with his character. I did his loyalty mission for xp and credits, but that was it.

On my second Shepard, a Vangaurd, I decided to make more use of the content I'd downloaded, and started taking Zaeed almost everywhere. Now he's one of my favorites.  The best moment thus far was on Haestrom, Tali's recruitment quest, when the shutters open and the Colossus rears up. Zaeed response was pure awesome.

That, and his accent just keeps growing on me. It is Aussie or Brit? As a dammed yank, I can barely tell.

The trailers I watched made all the characters look bad, but in the end I was OK or liked all of them...





...except miranda...

[Azint]

Miranda and Jack.

[eternalnightmare13]

I didn't like the idea of Grunt at first until I played the game. Now I like him a lot.

Jack turned me off with the foul language and poser bad ass routine. However once I started talking to her and doing her loyalty quest I ended up liking her a lot.

Who's Jacob?

[Akrylik]

I thought Tali was going to be MEs Mission Vao, good god was i wrong. Instead i was anticipating talimance shortly after recruitment.

I always thought Liara was virtually unimportant...wait i still do.

I wanted to make grunt cry for slamming my Shep upon rescuing him from the tank, but he soon became the adopted krogan son my Shep (n)ever wanted

I THOUGHT Mordin would've been a terrible mistake, quite the opposite.

and i really, REALLY wanted EDI gone for keeping me from exploring my own damn ship for no good reason, wasn't until after the collector ship mission that she actually felt respectably useful.

[JediPilot0]

I didn't like Jack until her loyalty mission, which is now one of my favorite missions in the game. Just the fact that she was remembering her childhood wrong was brilliant. The dank, raining setting and muted colorless skylight coming through the overgrown facility really set a creepy mood.

At first Mordin and Zaeed were my most hated characters, but after a while I noticed that I bring them on most of my missions.

[glasgoo21]

Didn't realy like Tali at first in ME1, but then was disapointed I could not go LI on her, had to settle for another. ME2 solved that

[Mresa]

I didn't like Jack when they first released vids and info of her. But when I got the game and talk to her few times, she wasn't so bad.

Just really messed up.

[Burdokva]

Tali and Samara.



Didn't like Tali as a character back in Mass Effect. She had interesting backstory, but as a character was rather bland, even annoying at times - I couldn't stand her Geth genocide justifications. They did flesh her out as a personality, rather than a "cultural representative" in Mass Effect 2 and made me like her a lot more. Plus, great loyalty mission.



Samara I thought was the blandest and most uninteresting characters from the previews, and even then she didn't get much spotlight. Glad it turned out different, she's one of the characters I liked most in the game.



Maybe EDI too.

Thats exactly how I felt. Tali was just a whiney teen in ME1 and now she's the greatest character in the game.
Yes she's still the damsel in distress, but in a way that appeals to my protective instinct in a very direct way.
It didn't even take two playthroughs.
I liked thane from the beginning on, tho.

I really was like "What kind of ashoole have I just downloaded?" when I met him the first time. But by now I like him. He's not only a quite useful sqaddie, but I feel sad for him because he's so badly controlled by his urge for revenge.
And I really like his cool dialogs inside the missions.

On Tuchanka on Mordins loyality mission:
Mordin: Krogan Hospital. Built to withstand punishment.
Zaeed: What are you, some kind of expert?
Mordin: *blablablah* Genopharge *blahblah*
Zaeed: Yeah... great.

Miranda was unlikeable and cold at first, but I really found myself warming up to her later, even though she wasn't my romance.

Jack, also, does that annoying "I'm a badass" front, which I find irritating. I ended up really loving her character when she becomes more vulnerable, though, especially if you do the romance. I have a real soft spot for her.

Mordin I figured was just going to be a boring scientist type when I first met him, but he ended up being one of the most complex, most likable, and funniest characters on the whole ship. Mordin.

Samara I thought was going to be too stoic when I first interacted with her but, once she comes on the ship, from the very first conversation I found her to be a wonderful character. What seems like stoicism at first actually comes across as a millenia's worth of wisdom and experience metered by confidence.

I didn't like Grunt, still don't like him. Too one-dimensional to be interesting. He is a child character. The idea of helping him find himself is a nice one, but once you do it turns out that he is just a generic Krogan who likes killing things.

[JulianusApostate]

Garrus in ME1 and ME2 actually. Never really had a use for half techie, half sniper folks, but I started actually spending the time to get to know him and I was pleasantly surprised.



Samara, Grunt and Wrex to a lesser extent. I kinda figured them to be sort of archetypical soldiers but they definitely grew on me. Also, they're damn useful in combat.

[Noilly Prat]

I didn't really find any of the new characters very appealing in the promotional materials prior to the game's release, though I was withholding my dislike until I actually met them in-game.  I've always liked BioWare's characters generally, so I was pretty sure they would surprise me, but they actually surprised me a lot more than I had expected.  ME2 has my favorite party member characters in any BioWare game to date.

I found Garrus terribly dull and utterly lacking in appeal in the original game, but warmed up to him almost right away in ME2.  As for new characters... Miranda and Grunt probably grew on me the most.  I actually liked Jack and Samara right away.  I wasn't sure what to think about Mordin at first, but came to like him a lot during the dialogues on the Normandy and his loyalty mission.

[Multifarious Algorithm]

The promotional materials for the characters were just terrible. The way they all played out in the game was pleasantly surprising though. Grunt and Jack were both far more interesting then they initially seemed to be. Hell so was Miranda.

I didn't really know much about Mordin going in, but his character is basically a cascade of awesome which seals the deal when he sings.
