9. Your Trusty Companions
When you're going into life or death battles just about every moment of the day, it helps to have some supportive back-up. Thankfully, the Mass Effect series is well-known for having a great set of companions to keep you company, and Mass Effect 2 is truly the best in the series in that regard.
Fleshing out and utilizing the cast of the previous game while adding in new members that are just as, sometimes MORE memorable is no easy task, but Bioware pulled it off. While the likes of Wrex and Liara are sorely missed, new personalities like Thane, Mordin, and Grunt more than makes up for it. Each of these brothers/sisters in arms have personal stories and personalities that BEG to be told, and it's so rewarding getting to know each one.
This is the Mass Effect with the largest set of available companions, making that 'Squad Selection' screen one of the toughest decisions you'll make every time. Nevertheless, you can't exactly lose with this cast list, so pick whoever and enjoy it.
