I tell ya man, people are passionate about their Mass Effect. I get the feeling if I were someone like Turtle making these exact same Mordin > Wrex posts, someone would be calling me an idiot.

I love it though. We haven't seen such passion from any other new game.


It helps that Mass Effect is actually a character-driven series unlike many other western games which is one thing I like about it way more than other WRPGs I've played


I agree

I think Tali > Liara is relatively safe. I'm a Liara fanboy but I can't deny how much people drool over Tali. Plus, Liara has a relatively small presence in ME2 unless you get the DLC, and DLC playrate isn't very trustworthy on this site or anywhere. There's a reason Garrus and Tali are the characters in which BioWare invested the most effort.

Good job Turtle for reminding me about Thane. No one does "badass" like Thane, so where do you guys think he ranks?

Yeah the fact that Tali was popular enough to be turned from a not-love interest to a love interest in the next game is a reason why I'd put her as the #2 behind Garrus

I'd *like* Mordin > Wrex btw, from a general perspective. More ME strength is always good!

But Mordin just can't hack it. Same with Tali - I'm a hardcore Talimancer through and through but she can't hang with the Liaras and Wrexes of the world. Liara can *maybe* come up to Wrex level, but she's probably a solid #3.

Mordin > Wrex means Cecil loses to Epona.

I mean, I know it'd happen, but I'd like to at least be able to pretend it wouldn't.

I don't think anyone that wasn't in the original game could beat Wrex or Garrus. There is just so many characters in the second game, that I think they all leave much less of a consistent impression to the entirety of the people who play it. Almost like an ensemble cast type game, but not exactly obviously.

Tali people are crazy, and she's my favorite character in the series. It's to the point where it's too much for a lot of the fanbase and she gets a lot of backlash. Liara is much more neutral.

...there was a long chemical analysis of what Tali's sweat would taste like, for cryin' out loud. It was so notorious it made it into ME3 DLC.

eh unless it's a super popular character game like FF7/Cloud/Speh

I don't think the "backlash" will have too much of an anchor on Tali's fan favorite status especially compared to Liara

But all it means is that the Tali people are *super* crazy about her, and a lot more vocal. But they're simply less in number than the Liara people. Liara is more prominent in 2 out of 3 games, is *mandatory* right from the beginning in 3 where you might not even see Tali, especially if you save the Geth.

Tali just can't hang with Liara. I take Liara > Tali in a match any day.
