Board 8 > Board 8 Ranked 234 Mass Effect Characters - Results!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Jacob was also my lowest ranked squadmate for actively sucking in every single scene he's in

How is the Turian counselor ranked higher than the Asari?

I guess i just hate that guy a lot more than others do.

And yeah, Jacob is the worst aquadmate (Morinth wasnt ever on my squad). He is just boring, not as skilled, and gives bad advice to go with his bad attitude.

"reapers"

I still have two of my bottom 10 left but i figured one of them will be much lower on my list than others. Sparatus is the one that surprises me. I had him bottom 5.

"Ah, yes. Reapers," was enough to rank decently well for me. I have fond memories of hating the Turian councillor, and honestly, I'm going to rank a character well for pulling those sort of intended emotions out of me.

I like Sparatus a lot personally. He also has pretty good development, and c'mon 'Ahh yes 'reapers'" is hilarious.

Although I maintain that Jacob is not as bad as his reputation in the fanbase, Ill take the occasion to mention that he gets the worst of the jealous lines from Liara in the Shadowbroker DLC, if your Shepard romanced Liara in the first game and then someone else in the second.

Can't believe he did this well.

Lol at 153/234 being "this well"

Dont even necessarily disagree but lol

Was his fate to be dropped amongst some randoms

I'm also pretty sure that when you get hold of some rare tech I think it might have actually been Legion, Jacob's advice is to chuck it lmao

In theory, having a 'normal' guy among a bunch of wacky murderers could be fun, but it's like the writers made every possible choice to get the player to dislike Jacob. He's boring, he's cold to Shep and doesn't want to open up (realistic but we're in a hero power fantasy here), he antagonises other characters that the player already likes, and he makes poor decisions. By ME3 I'm sure they deliberately leaned into the fan response and made him comically bad.

Oh sure, we hate Jacob for it, but when Javik says we should throw it out the airlock we all love him.

Jacob is also awful to Thane when he joins.

"I don't know about you, but i'm loyal to more than just my next paycheck." "I don't like Mercenaries"

-Literally working for a terrorist organization
-Has no problem with Zaeed, commander of the Blue Suns

And he calls Garrus a cuttlebone!

Also I'd say it works with Javik because Javik is battle hardened by already having faced The Reapers. He's the last of his kind. He's understandably jaded. It works because his attitude isn't just shitty.

Jacob on the other hand just has kind of a shitty attitude all the time.

Context matters. And while Jacob has a history with Geth, when he says it we don't get that at all.

Javik was intentionally written as a piece of shit, and has a lot of great asshole scenes. It doesn't quite feel that way with Jacob.

Javik is the result of a life spent in a non-stop losing war against genocide. He is also horrifically racist and out of touch and the game treats him as such.

Jacob is supposed to be a 'good person'

I just found him infuriating. Including that line.

Not a "love to hate" character for me.

Sparatus is the best councilor because he goes from being the most antagonistic toward Shepard to the one who actually believes him the most in ME3

Jacob was so damn standoffish most of the times I tried initiating conversation with him. That was a pretty big turnoff for me.

I think Jacob is fine. It's just kind of odd to have a character whose defining characteristics are "bad judge of character" and "makes bad decisions."

Couple more screenshots, because why not. I liked this outfit for Shepard in ME3 a good bit, particularly with the shotgun you see in the first image.

Urdnot Wrex's brother. If Wrex dies or is never recruited, Wreav leads the Krogan. He's a lot more conservative than his brother, and doesn't make for a great leader. If Wrex is alive, however, Wreav doesn't appear until Mass Effect 3 when he objects to the appearance of Mordin (or Padok Wiks). Wreav isn't a great character, but as far as replacements go he has a massive impact. Wreav isn't as suited as Wrex is, and has a different stance on issues. Curing the Genophage under Wreav may not be advisable, especially if you destroyed Maelons Data.

Ive played a few runs where Wrex is dead and I have Wreav, and I could not tell you a single thing about him. The most underwritten replacement character of all time. - ZenOfThunder

Talitha I believe only appears if Shepard has the colonist background. Talitha was in the same colony on Minoir as colonist-born Shepard, and was captured in the raid and turned into a Batarian Slave. Shepard can talk her down, and even receive a letter from her in Mass Effect 2. She spent thirteen years as a slave. It's a bit of a heartwarming moment for Colonist Shepard to talk to her, especially as a paragon.

An ex-Cerberus scientist and love interest for Jacob. If you rescue her and the other scientists, she joins the Crucible project. She was pretty high up in the Cerberus ranks. Though I've always found it weird how many Cerberus are just decent people, given how evil they are in 2/3rds of the games. They're a terrorist organization, and in the first game are presented a pretty terrible group.

Probably her best version is if you played FemShep and had a ship with Jacob. She proves herself to be a real go-getter type. Inspiring! We should all follow her example. When you know what you want, go for it! - kateee

Chairman Burns is a member of the Parliamentary Subcommittee for Transhuman studies. He voted against paying reparations to L2 Biotics with severe health problems, which leads to him being kidnapped by the Biotics. Despite being kidnapped, if he survives he comes to understand the desperation of the L2 Biotics and vows to get them the help they need. And come Mass Effect 2, unlike most politicians, he stays true to his word. He gets a good bit of development for a very minor character, leading to a mostly happy ending.

Talitha was in my playthrough. That was a very good but brutal scene.

The best Wreav moment is in ME3 if Wrex isn't alive, and he says he wants Australia as his reward for the krogan because it's the most like Tuchanka

Fai Dan is the leader of Zhu's hope. He's pretty badass, really. He resists Thorian control, and shoots himself in the head. Kind of surprised he didn't rank a bit higher. He's not a major character, but plays a pretty important role in one of the major missions in the original Mass Effect.

Vendetta is a Prothean VI on Thessia that has important information about The Catalyst. However, when it detects Reaper Presence, it determines that it is too late for this cycle. It knew about Javik's mission, and will react to Javik. It gets captured by Kai Leng, and taken to the Illusive Man. I feel like bringing Javik along when you meet Vendetta adds a LOT to the game, to the point where it's a damn shame it was originally DLC.

Commander Shepard's mother. At least if Shepard is of the Spacer background. She gave birth to one of the biggest badasses in the galaxy. And that's gotta count for something. She doesn't play a major role -- or one at all if Shepard is not of the Spacer background. She was offered a position as Admiral, but decided to remain a Captain. She's none to happy that she had to learn her child was alive from Alliance Brass, instead of from Shepard themselves. She also works on the Crucible Project. If she's anything like her Child, the Reapers are lucky she didn't get more involved.

No, MOM! I adored Shepard's mom. She's a good one. Better parent than Ronald Taylor.

is that the bar?

Westmoreland is one of the alliance officers on the Normandy guarding the conference room. She's very opinionated, but there's not really much else to her character. As far as Normandy Crew go, she's not as memorable as most of the others. Probably doesn't help that she's only in Mass Effect 3.

Han Olar is a volus on Noveria who is a sole survivor of more than one incident, leading him to believe he's cursed. He's traumatized by the event, and can send Shepard a message in Mass Effect 2. Not a bad Volus, really. Definitely needed therapy, but it doesn't seem to have really worked. Hopefully by Mass Effect 3.

Richard Jenkins, part of the OG Squad with Shepard and Kaidan. Only he lasts for about five minutes. He's not actually named after Leroy Jenkins. But he very well could be. One wonders how the series might have went if Jenkins had survived. Shepard can recall Jenkins at certain points in the series. Which is probably more than most people do. It's easy to forget about him, even if he's part of that OG Team.

Hilarious. - ZenOfThunder

I just wanted to use this opportunity to float an idea that I had once. Suppose that instead of Kai Leng being Kai Leng, he was really Richard Jenkins, recovered and revived by the Illusive Man just like Shepard? People seem to really hate Kai Leng, and I've always wondered if a little twist like this might have improved the character's reception, or if it's just too much of a hackneyed idea. - VectorAgent

A Krogan Warlord who was cloning Krogan. His beliefs were so extreme, he was kicked off Tuchanka. He wanted to breed out weak genes, and felt absolute numbers weren't necessary to conquer the galaxy. He bred Grunt, who would go on to serve Commander Shepard. He revered the Rachnii.

This guy has one of the single best lines in the entire series: "I say let us carry the genophage! Let a thousand die in a clutch. We will defeat it by climbing atop our dead. That is the Krogan way." Badass. - VectorAgent

His little monologue at the end of the Grunt recruitment mission always stuck with me. - ZenOfThunder

Ive always thought that if there were an all-out Mass Effect MMO, then I might play as a Volus. Picking Asari in order to become a Justicar might be close, but somehow the idea of being a Volus and building up some kind of mercantile empire appeals to me.

Okeer is a great one-off character. Wish he could've had more screen time.

Damn, I was the high-ranking on Moshae. I was a big fan of the angara in Andromeda, so they tend to do well on my ranking. Poor Moshae :(

I am. Don't like his goatee.

Maybe his goatee doesnt like you, so how about that?!

i didn't even rank Conrad since he started in ME1 rip

Legitimately, the worst part of the future as presented in Mass Effect is that humanity hasn't evolved away from the goatee as a species. Main reason I let the Reapers wipe us out in my playthrough.

Geth VI is a replacement for Legion in the event you sold him to Cerberus or he otherwise died. He is not Legion, though. And with him, a peaceful solution is unavailable. Which makes him inferior to Legion. He does have some pretty cool armor though. It's not a terrible concept for a replacement character at least.

Alec Ryder is the father of the Ryder twins. He was recruited into the Andromeda Initiative as a Pathfinder. He's voiced by Clancy Brown which is pretty cool for sci-fi fans. As an Andromeda character, I'm only somewhat familiar with him. His appearance can be tailored to match that of the main character of Andromeda. He also fought in the first contact war with the Turians.

"I was just waiting for you to finish getting dressed. Or does Cerberus really let you whore around in that outfit?"

Oh we're getting into proper names now, I should get those writeups done.

Okeer is neat, I forgot to rank him but I'd put him fairly high for how limited he is. I like Reyes a lot, his moral ambiguity stands out among Andromeda's chirpy group of pals.

Okeer was in my bottom 10 or 15. He was a good side villain in that he was very not likable.

But hey he outranks his human counterpart Henry Lawson for me.

Despite that, he still worked with Cerberus, and in Mass Effect 3 offers the Volus Bombing Fleet -- though he can also tell you where Cerberus is going to attack next.

Miranda's genetically identical younger sister. Though the two do not look identical She's also voiced by Laura Bailey instead of Yvonne Strahovsky. Oriana takes Miranda's place if Miranda does not survive Mass Effect 2. If Miranda survives, she instead discovers her father kidnapped her. She can leave video logs about Sanctuary just like her sister does.

More of a plot device than a character. - ZenOfThunder

Donovan Hock is a great cheesy one-off villain. Might be the highlight of Kasumi's Loyalty Mission.

Major Coats first appeared in the trailer for Mass Effect 3. Nobody knew who he was. He spent three days inside Big Ben. He doesn't play a major role in the game, despite his prominent status in the trailer. Which I've always found kind of weird. But he does show up in the game for a bit, and is on the radio as well.

Ahh yes "Reapers". Probably one of the best memes to come out of Mass Effect. Sparatus is responsible for it. He's kind of a dick, especially to Shepard. No matter what choices you make, he will berate you for them. Save the Rachni? You've just unleashed hell on the galaxy! Kill the Rachni Queen? You committed Genocide! Sparatus requires hard evidence to believe anything. He's convinced that Sovereign was just a really advanced Geth Ship. Typical bureaucrat. However, he gets some really nice development in Mass Effect 3, where he's among the first to offer Shepard help, and recognize the Reaper threat. For a minor character who most people don't remember the name of, he's definitely extremely memorable. The biggest regret is you can't say to him "Ahh yes, "reapers" in ME3. Placing higher? We've already dismissed that claim.

Ahh yes "Reapers". Probably one of the best memes to come out of Mass Effect.
