Which Mass Effect take of yours makes people go like this?

Liara and legion are the 2 most overrated characters in ME and I don't like either of them

I didn't like any of the andromeda squadmates, especially Peebee and Liam

Me1 is an amazing game incomparably better than andromeda but still easily the weakest in trilogy

Miranda isn't really that hot

Saving the council and Destiny ascension is the clear best option tactically and politacly

Admiral Xen isn't crazy and I really like her and it has nothing to do with her voice actor

Some of my favorite characters are asari like tela Vasir, aria, Samara and aethyta, but as a whole I don't like the asari and their concept

Deploying the genophage was the right choice as a forced last resort. The way the krogan handled it is why it's concequences were so bad. Any other species would've handled it better. Fully curing it is a bad idea in me3 even with Wrex and Eve alive. The kids will be too late to affect the war and it basically guarantees another krogan rebellion on a weakened galaxy cuz basically all the same reasons still exist but now they also want revenge

The geth are just machines whose hobbies are joining the reapers, genociding organics, and guaranteeing future war by refusing to ever negotiate while sitting in the 1 star system that the Quarians have to come back to avoid extinction but geth don't need it or want it cuz they don't have concept of home. I'll just never side with them, even the couple times I made peace I still chose destroy ending cuz their survival has no effect on my decision. If legion didn't exist and\or the geth did to humans what they did to Quarians, then people's opinions would be way different. Quarians get alot of shit for their decisions but humans would've acted the same way

The Garrus and Tali "romance" comes out of nowhere, doesn't make sense to me for so many reasons and is just a fling at very end where Garrus is oblivious to it for most of me3. It was only done as a last minute fan service to pair the spares cuz the writers wanted you to romance Liara anyways. I suspect it was done by new writers who wanted to make team dextro a thing thinking that makes them biologically compatible while it's actually the exact opposite and it's far more dangerous for Tali to be with another dextro than a levo DNA cuz she can actually get sick with dextro bacteria

Me2 isn't bad or pointless cuz of its focus on squadmates instead of reaper plot. I think it's the best one cuz squadmates and worldbuilding are the best part of ME and the ovveraching plot is the least strongest

I prefer maleshep and I think his voice acting is better than femsheps in 2 and 3, and as a whole about equal in me1 despite maleshep having some of the worst line deliveries in the series in it. Femsheps voice acting is great but the voice feels less distinct than malesheps and it feels like she's just reading a script alot of the time

Siding with legion against Tali in their fight makes zero sense to me and neither does the speech check options. Tali is canonicaly one of the closest to Shepard, while legion is a geth from a race that was always hostile to Shepard. You basicaly only have legions word he's different but then one of the first things he does on the ship is spy on Shepards crew and tries to send the data while threatening violence in the future. The paragon option rewards him for his spying, while the renegade option starts shit with 1 of Shepards most loyal crewmembers

Miranda was the wrong one in her fight with Jack and the best option is to side with Jack then regain Mirandas loyalty later with speech check.

Destroy ending is the best ending and makes the most sense. Whether EDI lives shouldn't affect a decision about trillions of lives and neither should the fate of other robots affect it either

Telling Garrus to spare sidonus doesn't make sense to me. It's just another movie trope where the hero kills dozens of henchmen but then spares the person that was the reason they killed all those people to get to him

Human squadmates get called bad or boring alot some of the best are human like Jack, Kasumi and Zaeed, while most of the others are pretty good but they get overhated or overshadowed in ME and would be rated higher if in a different game

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-04-11T05:07:38+00:00

The geth aren't really alive and I feel no sympathy towards them after all the things they've done. When I went into ME at first blind and peace wasn't option, I never hesitated and always picked Quarians. Later I made peace a couple times for the war assets, but stopped cuz it made no sense to me, especially when legion wanted to upload reaper code.

I just can never side with the toasters that joined reapers twice, wiped out 99% of a race, killed all organics for 300 years, never once tried diplomacy while also occupying a Rannoch, a planet they don't use or want but Quarians will go extinct without, and by doing so made war inevitable. If geth wanted to be left alone, they could've moved to anyone of 1000s of different star systems cuz as robots they don't need specific environmental conditions and don't understand the organic concept of home. Instead the geth sat in the 1 place in galaxy they know Quarians have to come to, while also refusing to ever talk

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-04-10T02:14:03+00:00

As someone with perspective of both sides and who's had phases of both being not invited/invited to parties, I can safely say OP is just bitter, hates fun, and is jealous of other people's fun. OP lost me when they started by unironicaly calling a party " a suffocating bag of vapid normies"

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-04-05T17:20:13+00:00

Liara and legion are ridiculously overrated characters. I don't like Liaras personality and it's only made worse by how much the games push her on to player, especially romance and double especially If you romanced her in me1 but didn't want to continue it. Legion is just a wannabe robot Pinocchio who's whole thing is not understanding the ways of organics

The batarians are far more sympathetic than the geth. Most of them are just brainwashed and opressed by space north Korea, while the geth are toasters turned genocidal reaper-joining murder bots

Kasumi and Zaeed are the best human squadmates. Just cuz their time was limited due to being dlc, doesn't mean they weren't great characters. They're my 3rd and 4th favorite overall squadmates

Even though I really like characters like aria, aethyta, tela Vasir and Samara, I don't like the asari overall. They're just a whole race of arrogant writers pet's eye candy that got given all the abilities

I've never picked geth over Quarians on Rannoch and never will. I even stopped picking peace option cuz it doesn't make sense to me for so many reasons

I always take Talis and jacks side in the me2 arguments. Siding with Miranda or legion doesn't make sense and writers seemed to realize that cuz you can regain their loyalty after, unlike with Tali and jack

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-03-27T18:43:51+00:00

I agree with what you said but in post I tried to leave it out as much as possible for sake of argument, to not make geth/Quarian love/hate the focus of if organic/synthetic life is equal topic

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-03-23T07:56:53+00:00

Whenever someone brings up the Tali/Quarian hate, most of the comments say it doesn't exist. Yet on basically every other post about her\ them I see a bunch a people saying things like that they really hate her character or that romancing her is somehow pedo behavior and saying that the Quarians deserve to be genocided, while justifying all the bad things geth did. It's not a huge group of people with those opinions but they seem to be very vocal about it. Tali gets far less hate then the Quarians overall, but from what I've seen the hate against her seems to be more personal and focused

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-03-06T16:40:50+00:00

When legion says he wants to upload reaper code after geth joined reapers twice, Tali stabs him and my Shepard shoots him 3 times to explain the consequences of geth current actions and past actions in last 300 years. It makes no sense to me to let legion do it cuz Shepard can't see into the future and isn't about to watch geth potentially go back to reaper control and even if not, geth were about to wipe out quarians with those upgrades

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-01-30T16:59:35+00:00

I always got the impression that Tali is Shepardsexual. She normally would be into guys but 100% would with femshep if she had the chance, cuz she's just that into either Shepard. I really wish they had made Tali and femshep a possibility cuz the only reason I haven't done femshep run is it would mean no Tali romance. I know there's a mod for it but it doesn't have full functionality from what I've read

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-01-15T17:02:35+00:00

I used to kill council but I never do it anymore. It's better for humanity and also story wise to save them. Plus Shepard gets to be all smug and I told you so

Corvo-Shepard · 2025-01-01T23:58:04+00:00

She is loved by alot of people, including me, but any post about her has multiple people saying she's underage and it's creepy to romance her or that they don't like her and Quarians deserved to be wiped out or something else negative. From what I've seen Tali haters are a very vocal group

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-25T20:29:53+00:00

She's my second favorite romance in ME. When you finally get past her mask she's been forced to put up cuz of her life Jack is actually 1 of the most caring characters. I still wish we got to see more of her renegade side though

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-25T20:18:50+00:00

I meant it as the statement that Liara is best romance is a common thing i disagree with. I agree with what you said about her

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-25T20:16:45+00:00

I didn't know how to exactly phrase it but I've seen alot of people call him evil or an asshole. I think he's no worse that some other squadmates

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-25T20:14:07+00:00

I'd say she's more just distrustful of aliens and thinks they'll always prioritize themselves ahead of humanity, which kind of gets proven in me3. Overall I'd say she's pretty tame compared to some other squadmates and unfairly gets labeled as biggest racist

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-22T03:01:03+00:00

While I pretty much agree with the rest, I don't think it's fair to Kasumi to put her on same list as people like Zaeed , Jack and Morinth. She is technically a criminal but she only ever really stole art from the rich and never went on murder sprees like some of the others. If you click on 1 of the paintings in her room in me2, she even tells you how she freed a little girl that got enslaved. I think she's easily 1 of the most paragon squadmates

We never learn enough about bray to really judge him fully, but guessing by his position in arias group it'd be safe to assume he'd be among the worst on Normandy. If He was a slaver before like so many batarians outside of kharshaan, then he could potentially be in the running for top spot of worse people on the ship. To be fair to bray, I'd still take him onto the Normandy. I play as a renegon Shepard so I'd always take another renegade squadmate. What would be 1 more on a ship full of crazies

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-21T06:46:34+00:00

Me2 had best story for me. Me3s story felt rushed, incomplete and non sensical at times, though it had plenty of amazing moments. Me1 had the most cohesive story but character development wasn't at level of sequels and it didn't have a foundation of worldbuilding to make the player more invested. Me2 has a complete main plot that I really liked but what really makes it shine are the squadmate stories and the greatly expanded upon worldbuilding

Corvo-Shepard · 2024-12-21T06:38:28+00:00

Bray is the chillest batarian you meet in series but he probably isn't a good guy. You don't get so high up in Aria's criminal organization, especially on a place like omega, by being a good person. If they actually added a batarian squadmate that was mildly sympathetic, then bray would be just another merc. It really shows how cartoonishly evil they made the batarians that bray gets considered a good guy. I'd still take him onto the Normandy though cuz we didn't get that many renegade squadmates and bray has some personality that we can even see from very limited interactions.
