I plan on getting Mass Effect 1 off of the PSN next check, so maybe seeing the series from the start might shake things up. Having started from 2 though I think made me not as fond of the original cast like Wrex, or Ashley. Garrus is my favorite, and Tali my favorite love interest. They usually make up my team. I'd put Liara, Thane, Mordin, Jack, and Grunt next. All of them either had fun banter, or useful tactics, and skills. Everyone else was pretty much throw aways for me. Especially Jacob, Miranda, and the new guy in 3 (already forgot his name, lol).
