You’re not a one-man army, and you need your squadmates to come out of the final mission intact. It’s in your best interest to do them to ensure your own survival, as well. If you don’t complete the loyalty missions for your squad, there’s a high chance of them dying during the mission. For the final mission, your chance of survival is higher if you have completed each of your squad’s personal missions. The big thing that makes Mass Effect 2 stand out is each crew member’s loyalty missions. Mass Effect 2 is also the only game in which it is entirely possible to save or lose your entire team based on Commander Shepard’s relationships with his/her crew members. Not only do you have a large team at your disposal to help you deal with a variety of situations, the circumstances of your suicide mission is a natural catalyst to bring you and your squadmates together.
Mass effect 2 cast series#
Was I a bigger fan of the most badass Krogan in the series on my team in the first Mass Effect, everyone’s favourite Salarian scientist in Mass Effect 2, or the wisecracking AI in Mass Effect 3? In the end, I decided to go with Mass Effect 2. I had to narrow down which game from the series had the better characters.
However, there was a problem for me: I couldn’t pick the series as a whole. One thing I knew right away when I was asked which game had the best ensemble of characters, my answer was the Mass Effect series.
