Ranking Every Mass Effect Squadmate Ever

21. Cora

Mass Effect Garrus
Bioware

It’s not that Mass Effect can’t write Humans... but undoubtedly there’s a lot of weak Human characters in the mix.

While she’s not coming in last, Cora is without a doubt the most frustrating character on this list. By all rights, she should be your boss. She’s the true Pathfinder’s right hand woman, but you get the job purely because of your name. There are no other factors in play. You could argue there’s the SAM implant to consider, but would you be concerned with nuance if you’d just been passed over for the promotion of a lifetime?

So what do they do with this new twist? How does the game develop if you’re starting off with a squadmate who despises you, or doesn’t respect your position? We’ll never know, because Andromeda sidesteps any interesting tension to have Cora make a bit of a face then salute you like a good soldier. What a waste.

The less said about her personal mission the better. She wants to plant seeds, for crying out loud.

Then there’s her design. That hipster haircut on a by the numbers military gal? And he old is she? 25? 45? Big misfire here.
