Pretty much in sync with most ... Cora. She grew in the story ... too much of an Asari fangirl at the start, but had an epiphany in her loyalty mission, plus learned to trust herself, be a leader as the story unfolded. So Cora. I would have no problem with Vetra or Drack, but Cora has the better combination of skills. Jaal turned down his chance at command ... so no. Ultimately, he wants to be a follower, not a leader ... so no. PB? Too self-centered, too immature, too flighty ... she's smart in a limited way ... but only pays attention to those things that interest her, total lack of appreciation for anything outside those narrowly defined interests.

Liam is an idiot ... he was written to be that way.* He really didn't learn anything in his loyalty mission ... despite his post-mission apology. Pick the option that leaves him pissed off at Ryder and you'll see what I mean. Would not trust Liam to bring takeout back to the Tempest. Moron, idiot, tool, sh*thead ... pick the pejorative ... not fit for command, not fit to lead, not fit to be on any away team, ever. Voted most likely to get a teammate killed.  There was a reason he got fired as mutually agreed to leave the profession of being a cop.  A Pathfinder is much more than being a cop ... and Liam failed at the more limited task.  Yeah, pretty much, I despise the character.  It gets more and more difficult to do the Liam loyalty mission, on each successive play through ... I like the humor in the mission ... good writing, just can't stand why we are there to begin with or how Liam reacts to the scenario ... which is also good writing.  I've worked with people like Liam, had folks like Liam work for me ... it never ends well.  That his choices place others at risk ... unforgivable, unacceptable, intolerable.  Rate him 10/10, most likely to toss out the airlock.  Bad call on Alec Ryder's part ... an N7 should have known better. Liam is a fool and should be eaten.

*Don't misunderstand, BioWare wrote Liam to be the character that he is, that was intentional, not a mistake.  And Liam's loyalty mission was hilariously well written.  That I react to Liam so viscerally is a testament to how effectively the writers have created a character, brought that character to life.  Beyond the loyalty mission, Liam's comments seem to really fit the character that they created ... they seem organic, natural ... something I would expect from a real life Liam. To wit, Liam reminds me of folks I've known in real life ... perhaps only Drack is as well developed as a character.  So I give the writing an A+, but the character, really don't care for him at all.  Which I'm guessing was one of the goals in creating the character.
