Drack or Vetra. No hate, just...apathy. For me, apathy is worse than loathing, lol. Make me angry at a character. Make me want to punch them off my ship. Make me feel SOMETHING at least. That's better than mild disinterest. I get that,. I dunno...for me it's like, pretty much every Bioware game I've played, I've actively hated at least 1/3rd of the companions/crew, so it's actually kind of refreshing for me to finally have a squad where I don't have a visceral hate response to anyone, even if it means Drack and Vetra are just kind of...there. They're not bad characters, just not all that special to me.

I liked Vega better with ManShep too. The "I'm flirty but we're not FLIRTING" thing might have worked for some Shepards, but not professional Paragade FemShep. It just seemed uncomfortable. But Vega and my ManShep were epic bros. Maybe I'll like Cora better with BroRyder. I haven't decided who I'm going to romance yet in that playthrough, so we'll see. Mass Effect has an unfortunate way of gating character development behind romance, though they have gotten better about this as the series goes on. I think Cora might have gotten hit a bit with this, since her dialogue seemed to update the least when I was playing SisRyder. I agree. I've had a hard time trying to get anything out of Cora. In the beginning she was almost a bit like a walking Asari codex. Which is a shame, I was hoping her and SisRyder could become quite close friends, it says so in the codex but isn't really applied in actual dialogue. I've noticed Andromeda has quite a bit of development and character commentary in the banter too, which makes it harder if you're unlucky and inundated with banter bugs Yeah, I never got all of Liam and Jaal's bromance because of the banter bugs. I know it exists, though, because it still progresses in the Tempest banter and the Movie Night quest. I...honestly can't remember any of Cora's Tempest banter, except the Snakes and Ladders one. I think that was her? Never a good sign

I don't dislike Liam. He just doesn't have any skills that impress or help me much. Same problem Jacob had. Better talk to Bioware on that bit of discrimination. ...and their characters were flat. I get the lack of impressive skills bit, but how is Liam's personality dull? His party banter is funny and his loyalty mission is amazing. lmao what. somebody hold my beer, i need to go collect my sides from low orbit.

Yeah gotta go with Liam...
That character was just kind of a mess in multiple ways. He's probably the weakest written of the squadmates, he has the most instability out of the crew (bad first impression shooting a corpse...pretty sure that's a war crime IRL) but beyond that he's actually got a very strange pattern to his speech that is made all the more difficult to understand with his accent. I had a really hard time understanding what he said half the time, and that's honestly never been any issue with a BW character before.

Don't hate anyone but Liam really irritated me at times and he get you in trouble and screw up a bit too much. He do have his moments but as I have to pick on it's him.
Cora can get annoying with her "I used to be an Asari huntress" and all the variations on that line. We get it shut up. Too much focus on that but I generally like her.

Peebee - her childish introduction, her boring loyalty quest, and just her annoying personality.
2nd would be Liam - beyond the interesting accent, there just isn't anything there to like. Boring, and he's useless in combat on hard difficulty. Always dying.

If my Shepard were pathfinder, she would get in Cora's face and talk smack about how pathetic asari commandos are after dealing with them on Noveria

I had a really hard time understanding what he said half the time, and that's honestly never been any issue with a BW character before. I sort of have the same problem with Suvi but from the opposite direction. I feel like her speech patterns have been slowed way way down just to make her intelligible to non-scots. The accent is fine (given that the VO is a scot thats no surprise) but rate of speech is on half speed. Its like nails on a chalkboard for me, I would rather have her speak at the normal speed and if players struggle they can put the subtitles on.

I think it's the combination of accent and speech patterns, though, since I had no trouble with understanding the writer's other characters (Jacob, Aveline, and Carver Hawke).

Oh, an Asari Commando, yeah I saw some of them in action back on Noveria. Wiped out a couple packs of them right before I killed their Matriarch and then turned a giant Rachni Queen into goop. Good times.

Kek, how is PeeBee not the least favourite squadmate by consensus on here? She's literally an annoying autist.
Best to worst squadmates according to me:
1. Drack 2. Cora 3. Jaal 4. Vetra 5. Liam . . . . . . 6. PeeBee

Liam because he annoys me with his upbeat attitude. Reminds me of superman's attitude - "I want justice for everyone". I wish there was a conversation option to the tune of "Yeah Liam? Well, life doesn't work that way. Grow up kid." Maybe someone peeing in his cheerios would chill him out a bit. lol
If I had to rank from favorite to least favorite I would say:
Peebee Vetra Jaal Drak Cora the dirt the worms inside the dirty Liam

Liam. His loyalty mission is the best of them, but as a person he's weird/annoying. He's also only one that I don't understand and have to read subtitles. Well Suvi is also hard to understand, but she's not a companion and her accent more than makes up for that.

Liam. I don't hate him, but he's bottom of the ladder for me out of this group.
I think his actor's performance is one of the big things; I don't think there's an argument to be made that he isn't the weak link out of the voice cast among the main characters.
After that, I found his impulsiveness and unwillingness to explain his plans to be grating and annoying. Contrast with Peebee where it came off as endearing and intriguing. I think the main thing there is that Peebee's flaws were genuinely presented as flaws that she needed to overcome where as Liam's came off more to me as "but he's so well meaning!" that he's not really expected to outgrow them.

To me, Peebee. I did her loyalty mission yesterday night. Just WTF is wrong with that girl ? I can't stand her. I wish Lexi was my squademate instead of her.
I have no passion for Cora too and her "asari fangirl" side.

I could only vote for one, so I picked Jaal, but Liam is irritating, although I don't hate him. Sad to see my girl peebs in 3rd place I adore Peebee, but I'm not surprised to see her in 3rd place. She's written to be polarizing and to push people's buttons, like Sera in DA:I. I feel some people had already made up their mind about her before even playing the game.

I chose Liam because he was either fairly boring or he'd just end up fighting with everyone while driving and it got annoying. I did enjoy his loyalty mission, though. His accent doesn't bother me as I've always had a good ear for understanding different accents, even if I can't do them myself.
Surprisingly, Peebee and Jaal became two of my favorites. Peebee plays off both Jaal and Drack well.

Cora.
Definitely Cora.
Through her whole loyalty mission I was mumbling,"blah blah blah don't care skip skip"
She feels like someone trying too much. Roses in Helius? Barf. Nothing cries louder BS than that. My snarky Ryder was thinking "why not apples, Cora? You can eat apples."

I have no passion for Cora too and her "asari fangirl" side. I'm pretty sure EVERYONE would like to have Lexi as a squadmate/love interest. She's got more quality acting than 80% of the crew. I guess that's to be expected from Natalie Dormer though, huh?
