7. The Mass Effect Trilogy Squadmates, Ranked From Worst To Best
Last week marked N7 Day, which means Mass Effect fans broke out the fan art and BioWare vaguely gestured at the upcoming fifth game. The studio said this year would be a quiet one, as the team just released Dragon Age: The Veilguard earlier in the week. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still discuss the series and reflect on its history while BioWare forges its future. Somehow, we’ve never done a ranking of the Mass Effect squadmates. While I would love to throw the Mass Effect: Andromeda characters into the mix, those intergalactic explorers have only gotten one game that was clearly building up to a continuation we haven’t gotten. So, rather than pit characters with unfinished stories against people with complete, messy, trilogy-long arcs, we’ll just rank the original squad from the first three games. Grab your omni-tool and let’s dive in. — Kenneth Shepard
