Mass Effect: Ranking The Characters From Worst To Best

1. Garrus Vakarian

Mass Effect characters

Garrus is just about the coolest guy around. Whether he's in the middle of those infamous endless calibrations, hunting down crime gangs on Omega, or just generally sticking it to the rules (and The Man), Garrus is loyal to Shepard to a fault, and will unquestioningly follow the Commander even into certain death. His injury during his recruitment in ME2 was a heart-in-mouth moment, because not a single person wanted to see Garrus die.

His sense of justice versus having to follow the rules is what makes him so appealing to players - everyone likes to see a bit of Garrus in themselves. His storylines are just as good, and usually have him questioning whether his own sense of revenge is the correct path, or whether justice can be served without killing - like with Dr Heart or Sidonis.

He appears stoic and sardonic on the outside - but his character is so much deeper than that, and his confession to Shepard that he feels alone in the galaxy save for her during their romance is genuinely heartbreaking.

A great character and fantastic Tech support, Garrus is hands down the best squad member. If he isn't on your team - well, you're just wrong.
