Bioware's New Game: It's Mass Effect 3.

<< < (56/70) > >>

johnny5:
kind of discourage by it seems there's mostly human companions this time around. on average in this series, human companions are the worst/most boring/useless. ashley/kaiden were horrible in ME1, and jacob was even worse. miranda is polarizing at best. oh great! another boring white marine guy.

satsugaikaze:
I would have to disagree on both Miranda and Ashley being the "worst/most boring/useless" squadmates. Miranda as a squadmate has Overload and Warp, which covers all forms of protection in Mass Effect 2, making her a decent all-round squadmate to go with. Ashley in is a really useful tank and can draw a lot of fire away from Shepards who might not have as much health, although it's true that she isn't the biggest bruiser of the ME1 team. They're both perfectly useful squadmates depending on what class your Shepard is.

As for the characters themselves, they are arguably quite boring, yes, although by a point of comparison I did find Ashley's xenophobia (especially when you explore the context of her xenophobia) and gradual changing of ways a slightly more interesting character progression than Kaiden, who... doesn't really do anything for me since y'know he's worked out all his issues before the game even started.

And Miranda is just plain silly.

Lupercal:
I'd have to agree that Jacob isn't useless - at least at the beginning of the game when you can get caught short a lot of the time, its really useful to just use Pull (Big Red Shepard only has soldier abilities). Ashley was a fairly good team mate in the first game, had her on most of my missions due to being a stable member of your team with a lot of fire-power. She got the second best weapons, poor Garrus had to make do with Polonium Rounds V.

I think human companions are necessary as ME are essentially games of choice - if you just had aliens to choose from, well, some people might not like that. You should always have the ability to have an all alien or all human team, but I think that most people mix it up a bit.

Buttfranklin:
Any ally who can use a shotgun is useful in Mass Effect 1 or 2.  Fact.

Miranda is also the most useful squadmate from a gameplay perspective IMO since she can effectively deal with any defense type (Warp for Armor + Barrier, Overload for Shields) and she has GREAT passive squad bonuses.

Jacob is good at the beginning if you have the Cerberus Network since he gets that shotgun.
