12 Most UNDERRATED Mass Effect Characters 

Mass Effect 3 - Reviewing All Characters Who Replace Dead Squadmates: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ghXIgVRbokE.html Full Story of Emily Wong - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LhYa0ZcGJl4.html What Happens If You Spare Fist? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pHJ-k5ynMec.html

Kal’Reegar is -I think- the most underrated NPC. Passionate but level-headed, always does the right thing without making a big deal of it, loyal to Tali, respectful of Shepherd without gawking, and willing to sacrifice himself to protect others. Great guy who a lot of people seem to forget about.

Thanks for listing Udina. People nowadays seem to conflate hateable characters with bad characters, and the ME fandom is guilty of that too. Udina, with all his complexities and faults, is a fantastic character, despite (or rather, because of) his unlikable nature.

Hackett is indeed the true homie! And I love how HIM AND SHEPARD talk a lot more in ME3.

Hackett is the real GOAT. If I look at from outside perspective, not from the Normandy, then he is more important than Shepard himself. He saves the Earth’s fleet, leads it to victory, supervises the Crucible, doesn’t reject the Reaper threat, and commands Shepard sending him to the important missions. He is the mastermind, and Shepard is his tool:)

Having Kirrahe as a Squad mate would have been an interesting choice for example: If you cured the Genophage you could get a Krogan Squad mate like Wrex or Grunt. If you sabotage the Genophage and the Salarians are all in then you get Kirrihe as a Squad Mate. Would have added more weight to the choice :)

This is a good list, but I would have included the asari Shiala from Feros. When you spare her after destroying the Thorian, she becomes the advocate for the entire Zhu's Hope colony and they turn into a unique war asset in ME3. Another underrated character is the quarian Admiral Xen. She could have been more fleshed out and it would have been very satisfying to be able to convince her that the geth were worthy of independence from and peaceful coexistence with the quarians, rather than only being used as the advocate for returning the geth to enslavement.

Another think to note about Nihlus is the fact that he survived an encounter with Samara.

How about Admiral Kahoku? We don't see much from this character, but it's just a awesome how he goes solo on a mission to revenge his fallen unit.

Conrad Verner is absolutely hilarious, especially in the 2nd and 3rd games. Some favorite quotes of mine include "my wife even paid for my ticket off world!" "Where did these thermal clips come from? I thought weapons cooled down..." "Oh sorry, I like to ask all the questions I can think of and sometimes I forget which ones I asked"

Udina's betrayal did seem to come out of nowhere though. It's easy to understand it in hindsight, but at the moment it's really odd, given how he's written sympathetically in the beggining of ME3. They should have included some conversation before the betrayal where his frustration was clearly becoming too desperate. Maybe a conversation where it was subtly clear he didn't believe Shepard would be successful in his quest, and his desperation was settling in. Then, the betrayal would seem right on.

the most underrated character is definitely Niftu Cal - THE BIOTIC GOD!! He could have taken out the Reapers single handed if Shepard didn't stand in his way.

Yeah, Admiral Hackett's speech is total epic. Lance Henriksen did an awesome job voice-acting him.

A character I feel was missing here was Admiral Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib, when I first met him in Tali's loyalty mission in ME2, I thought he was just an entitled jerk with too much power and not enough spine to go after the Geth. (I went here before knowing Legion even existed in my first playthrough). But after meeting Legion and seeing the interactions Koris has with Legion if he's brought on the mission, made me realize he might've been onto something all along. And in ME3 he's the most noble member of the Admirals aside from Tali, focusing his efforts on keeping the civilian ships safe and potentially sacrificing his life for his squad after his shuttle is shot down. If I remember correctly as well, with him dead you're locked out of the peace option to the Geth and Quarian conflict. He's such a fascinating character and easily the most underrated Quarian.

Kirrihe is just a cool guy and it would have been great to be able to have him as a squad mate. Hackett is one of my favorite characters. Always in Shepard's corner, even after he or she steals the Normandy in ME1. I agree that Emily Wong should have been the on board reporter. (Although, I would like to hear Allers story about making an Elcor cry.)

Kirrahe doesnt give Shepard a Scorpion. He simply introduces that gun to us but we actually find it later independently

Where is Jenkins from the list?

I believe that Udina, Hackett and Kirrahe are not undervalued, they have their fair and necessary participation. On the contrary, Tela Vasir and Fisto could have had some more participation. But above all Legion, Grunt and Wrex should have had more participation as squadmates. Especially Legion.

I agree so much on James Vega. He gets dismissed as some muscle head but he has so much depth if you continuously interact with him. He's also a genuinely good friend who doesn't really ask anything of Shepard.

My vote goes to Matriarch Aethyta (Liara's father) she's simply hilarious, if we can get her as a temp crew going out on missions with liara think there will be some good lines lol. FYI in case you haven;t watched Mass Effect: Paragon Lost, it's an anime movie released in 2012, James Vega is the protagonist and he does have quite a bit of airtime there. Also there is a bunch of ME comics that fills some gaps, including how they found shepards body after he died and how it was passed to Miranda.

Fun fact: Udina’s voice actor is also the narrator of a show called “I almost got away with it” ironic if you think about it

Lorik Qui'in his comment on how humans find conversation as some kind of imprisonment when shepherd says, "I'll let you go" is one of the funniest pieces of dialogue in the whole game.

I'll say this about Udina... I have never seen that other cutscene where Anderson does NOT punch Udina...

Shiala. Words can’t describe the disappointment in my first play through when I learned you couldn’t romance her after seeing her again on Ilium. BioWare makes her flirt with you, just dangling the carrot out in front of us with no intent of ever giving us the opportunity, lol.

Great video. Hackett is a legend and a true leader. He will let you play to your strengths, but won't put up with BS. James is just a damned good bloke and a solid addition to the team, I don't understand the dislike. But you missed off Aria - The minx of Omega. If I was going to dip bad, it'd be Aria. *stares dreamily into middle distance*

Totally agree with Vega. I didn't like him at first until a few plays and discovered he's one of the most real personalities in the team. So as an underrated character, I can see why he's on this list. I thought Kal Reegar would be on here though, to be honest. Kinda surprised he wasn't!

Admiral Hackett was always one of my favorites, the fact he was voiced by Palpatine's voice actor in the french version was always a plus to me, love him so much. RIP Georges Claisse.

Agree about Nihilus. Would have been interesting if he was able to stick around for at least ME2 considering his past with Samara. Could have made for some interesting missions or dialogue. And, thanks for including James. I started to like him much more in later playthroughs.

Conrad Verner is an underrated character

Gotta give a shout out to my boy Kal'Reegar

surely kaidan is the most underrated squadmate across the fandom as a whole. certain corners of it appreciate him as he deserves but the rest need to be converted

Forgot Kal Rheager, the Quarian Marine Sergeant. Protects Tali with everything, and then gives his life supporting everyone in ME3

5:17 James was a much more interesting than Jacob. I welcomed him on my ship in ME3 way more than Jacob in ME2. I also loved in Citadel DLC where James says it's an honor to be a part of the crew along side the fan favs. Jacob needed more depth.

I wud have had Matriarch Aethyta on the list. She was hilarious. Wud have loved it if we cud have had more interactions with her.

I always hated how people disliked James so much. I'm Hispanic and actually have the same last name as him, and it was really refreshing to see my culture represented in the game. I thought it was cool you couldn't really romance him, and how he treated male and female Shepard the same. Hell I love the nickname he gives Shep. His story is also super tragic considering part of why he feels a failure is cause he feels what he chose was pointless after Shepherd basically took care of everyones problem in entirety soon after. I just think he's neat.

Emily Wong needed to be in Mass Effect 3!!!

Having started a new MELE run I was reminded about Matsuo on Noveria. I actually think she had a lot of potential and could have made a great added squad member in ME2. Like a corpo soldier looking for new work.

ME3 sidelined a lot of characters, and it is interesting that there isn't comsequences for killing Vasir in ME2.

I wish we got more of Tela vasir she’s only in the comic’s and part of ME2 but I wished we got to see more of her she was badass and one of the most powerful asari’s I’ve ever seen

Surprised Conrad wasn't on the list, the ultimate fanboy, but if you follow his arch through the entire series you learn he's actually a brilliant doctor who's thesis on dark energy can be applied as a war asset.

1 - Yep, mostly gave Garrus that gun so to kinda make him happy. Odd that killing Kirrahe in ME1 and saving the salarian Councillor gives you more EMS, though. 2 - Being voiced by the same person who voiced Phoebe Heyerdahl from Hey Arnold! also helps. 3 - I always do headcanon him as "Marauder Shields" from ME3's endgame. Silly, but it does make sense. 4 - Though she's a villainous Spectre, at least we saw another Spectre besides Shepard and Jondam Bau. 5 - Recently finished Insanity or Nothing's main "cursed" ME run and I must say, the absence of the likes of Garrus sure made him stand out there. 6 - Sure is an ensemble dark horse, Padok. 7 - Should have included Gabby too though. 8 - I never liked abandoning the anti-bomb efforts because of his guts and reasons. 9 - Never got interested with this guy much. 10 - ...You know, though I really like the character, I still want to shoot him for some reason... maybe it's because he sounds like Gen. Shepherd from CoD: MW2 2009. 11 - His death sure is probably the reason why we have Paragon/Renegade prompts in the sequels, heh. 12 - Good points here, hope he gets the spotlight sidestory treatment one day. Hmm, was expecting Gianna Parasini, the Biotic God, and/or that asari vendor who lost her daughters. Otherwise, good list.

Nah... forget James. Hate that guy. LOL. Especially when playing as FemShep.

No mention of my homies the alliance requisition officer or Niftu Cal the biotic god?

How can people not love James Vega? He is a big mouth, yes. But he has also a big heart, and is an absolute beast in combat.

What about my boy Kal Reeger? Dude is a solider through and through and doesn't care for politics. Guy just bursts in during a Tali's court to defend and stand with for you both threatening to leave if they banish Tali. Straight up G, it's just a shame like Kirrahe you can't keep him alive. He even has a gun named after him. Seriously he's just a really good guy and feels the least Quarrian of all the Quarrians you meet throughout the trilogy.

And to think that Emily Wong was probably supposed to be the journalist on the Normandy as her voice actress said she was contacted by Bioware for ME3 and then telling her it's no longer necessary I still can't believe that EA/Bioware needed some game journalism on their side at the point of adding Jessica Chobot (working for IGN at that moment) as a character 🥲

"Hackett out" is more memorable for me than "I should go"

Nihilus really did have a charm about him for the brief time we knew him. For all the talk people have in ME2 about how Shepard has this ability to motivate people to follow them into hell and back, Nihilus radiated that confidence and certainty to me. I like to think that, in supporting Shepard’s candidacy for Spectre Status, he passed the torch to Shepard, and helped ignite that fire that made Shepard such an iconic figure. Wish we had more time with him.

Wait a minute. Isn't the scorpion handgun found just lying around on the ground during the Sur Kesh level? 8:18 the irony with the Bourbon/Scotch debate Ken does its ironic because many distillers of Scotch use Oak barrels that were used prior as barrels to age American Bourbon.

People talk *ungodly amounts* of shit about Kaidan and Ashley. More than any other squadmate, Kaidan comes across as a real person. We all know a Kaidan. And while he's not the most exciting character in ME1, he's one of the best in ME3. He's also the only squadmate Shepard knew before the series began. Kaidan is a bro on par with Garrus, there I said it. Ashley is one of the only squad members to tell you straight up when she thinks you're wrong. You have to respect that. Almost everyone else worships Shepard to an extent or another and rarely (if ever) gets out of line. And while she gets a lot of flak for being a "space racist", characters like Wrex or Mordin (not to mention Javik) are more xenophobic than her, and she actually grows out of her prejudices by ME3. Human squadmates are much better than people say they are. Except Jacob. That guy's trash.

Honestly, Udina isn't as bad as people make him out to be. His outbursts in Mass Effect 1 are because unlike us, he has to deal with the consequences of our choices, and being humanity's rep, that's a very stressful position to be in. And in Mass Effect 3. He's genuinely one your side and trying to help humanity as best he can. He just exhausted any resources he had and was forced to look elsewhere. I think he thought Cerberus to be more trustworthy than they actually were as he was taking a leap of faith and trusted Shepard's account on them. Only to find out when it was too late that he made a mistake. One that forced him to comply with the Cope attempt. I see Udina as a person who thought they were ready for the role, but in reality wasn't and it ultimately was his downfall. Tragic really.

Tali's auntie Raan, Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay is one other underrated character. In tge case of Tali's demise, she steps up to the plate to fight for the cause. While unable to broker peace with the Geth, i think she's great character. Also another Quarian favorite would be Morrigan..err i mean Admiral Daro'Xen vas Moreh. She's definitely one of tge most interresting Quarian, having what I think would be an older minset of Quarian when they were not yet exiled from their world, always pushing technology progress forward. Really like how dislikable she is.

Konrad Verner is one of the few truly heroic characters in the ME franchise. I’m serious.

I imaged that all Fai Den wanted was to set up a bar and sell Root Beer all day long.

You forgot to the best of them all, the catalyst! Even Shepard couldn’t RETCON the reapers. Sovereign: we are each a nation. We have no beginning No end. Harbinger: I will show you true power! Rannoch reaper: harbinger speaks of you. It is not a thing you can comprehend. But nah. Catalyst: I control the reapers. The citadel is part of me. I could go in depth and reveal how destructive the ending was to the lore and universe. BioWare needs to learn from both ME2 (weak/non existent plot) and ME3’s ending to even have hope we can get a great storytelling/plot for the next game. And no EC didn’t fix shit Mac and Casey ruined it. Anyone with half a brain who’s invested in the ME lore and universe wouldn’t be satisfied with the EC.

One more thing about Kenny: He says Rupert can't make good Haggis. Gabby says "all Haggis taste like ass" which Kenny replies: "But if made right it can be a wee fine ass."

Hackett and Kirrahe are absolute treasures

Having just played that mission, Fai Dan's sacrifice came across as useless to me - you could take out everyone else with the anti-Thorian grenades, you could have done the same thing with him.

As far as squadmates go, Kaidan and Vega are dangerously underrated. Vega has some hilarious and insightful dialogue that most people miss out on because they're too enamored with Garrus or Liara. Kaidan was probably my 2nd favorite squadmate in ME1. Second only to Wrex, I just loved how interactive his character was. People know you can give Garrus the C-Sec officer or Spectre attitude based on your dialogue choices, but most people don't know that you can literally pass a speech check to make Kaidan prejudiced against aliens and the council lmao. He'll go from a bleeding heart paragon to actually having Wrex default to the paragon options between the two of them when deciding the councils fate. With the rachni, if you don't do/pass the speech check before Noveria, he advocates for their survival, but otherwise, he points you to the acid hooked up to the tank. In most conversations after the speech check, instead of suggesting that the council are flawed but good people, he will actively point out how the council mistreats humanity and how he's sick of them ignoring evidence from Shepard.

Shep: *Kills 300k batarians* Chadmiral Hackett: If it were up to me, I'd give you a damn medal.

Kirrahe is a fantastic character and not being able to use him as a squad mate in ME3 was definitely a missed opportunity. He seems like he would have been a good Paragon compliment to Shepard's team, kind of like how Samara was in ME2. Maybe there is hope in ME4 that he will be able to recruit him. Vega and Donnolly were always decent characters. Vega had a lot a growth which is always great. Donnolly was always funny. Udina was a well-written character. He fit his role perfectly. I kind of hoped that he wouldn't betray Shepard or at least have the option to not, like if you built up enough military force or relationship with him he wouldn't do what he did. It would really change up the story and give him some growth. To be honest it seemed like he was forced into that position to fit the narrative rather than something he naturally would do. Like he is a politician trying to seek power but joining up with Cerberus actually wouldn't have served him well. If he would have wiped out the other counsel members they would have been replaced and he would be even worse off. There is actually no situation where joining Cerberus would have been a benefit. Udina would not have been able to get any support from the aliens and probably would have made a bigger rift weakening what he wanted.

I actually disliked James until I watched Production I.G’s Paragon Lost, then I felt really sympathetic to James and his story (moreso than the short-ish version that James describes to Shepard in ME3)

"You've done a hell of a thing" is the greatest line ever.

I wasn't even aware some of these guys were underrated. Especially Hackett

My most favorite underrated character is the Turian at the shuttle depot on the Citadel in Mass Effect 2. He literally sounds like a Karen when all he's trying to do is catch a ride but he had to go through security for bringing a 15 cm serrated blade on a shuttle transport. Every time an argument ends with him and the receptionist he'll always end the conversation with *"YOU HUMANS ARE ALL RACIST!"*

well, i obviously agree on James. players who think he's one-dimensional obviously never take him anyplace and/or didn't see the prequel/know his backstory (Bioware's penchant for letting character development happen in other movies/stories). his banter is hysterical, and his romance got done dirty. but that's why i had to fic it and fix it. a TON of his dialogue hints to him being 'the next Shepard.' i think players diss him because he comes in late and Shepard has so much history with the others, and i get it - but it's sad.

I still don’t understand why Victus was the bad guy there. He took the safer route, but still got ambushed. Bad luck yeah, but how is it a mistake?

Just a minor nitpick: 00:16 It is pronounced "Et cetera", not "EX cetera" ;-)

Admiral Hackett, one of the most beloved characters in Mass Effect, as an underrated character?! o_O

12:53 Shepard has a way of getting people who what to kill him to shoot themselves.

I have a theory about Vasir and why she knuckled under the old Shadow Broker - it is because her "parent organization" the Asari Commandos are a loose confederation of small local militias. Turian Sppectres are usually still part of the Turian military which may also serve as a source of funding and intelligence. Same goes for Salarian Spectres who still have access to STG funding and intel. And the same is true for humans, with their Sppectre being an Alliance N7 and thereby having access to Alliance (or Cerberus) funding and intel. Asari commandos don't even have a centralized command structure on whom to rely on for money and intel. So, Vasir worked for the Shadow Broker!

Ok so I won't say he's an underrated character considering he has like 5 lines, but I always wish that Lorik Quiin had more time in the trilogy. From our single interaction with him on Noveria in ME1 he managed to make me smile with his charmingly insensitive "try to keep the bloodstains off the carpet" comment. Idk, he just seemed like that likeable asshole guy in class we all grew up with. For real though, I wish Shiala and Parasini had more time as well and maybe some fling romance options. I always found Shiala to have the most attractive Asari face (sorry Liara) plus she's green which gives her unique points, and Parasini has a great overall vibe to her and just seems fun to hang out with.

Kirrahe is a legend, no question, but pretty sure he doesn't give you the handgun - you find it on the ground. Emily - Love her, but also gotta wonder....for Kalisa - an arabic named person that you can punch - political statement Bioware? For me, underrated character - Gianna Parasini - intelligent conversation, ond oh....that voice.

Nihilus has such a good design I wish we could spend more time with him

Great list! I’m personally a big fan of Lt. Victus and his redemption arc. On my most recent playthrough, my cutscenes didn’t play out perfectly and that really upset me haha

Great video, again again again etc. Adm. Hackett is my absolute favourite character. He is THE top. For me, honostly, he is above Shepard. With Hackett, Bioware created the most badass and amazing person in entertainment history! And to give him the rank of Admiral is waaay better than General, because it means so much more to become and Admiral irl. Adm. Hackett stood strong, stood fast and stood together with Shepard and all the Milky Way, against all who wanted to do wrong! And of the three "main fighters" (Shepard, Anderson and Hackett) he is the only one certain to survive... Hackett is the OG, the center of attention and the rock to support Shepard from the first scene of ME1 to the last rally in ME3. Earth never had a better advocate and protector! Kirrahe should have been a squad-member in ME3. I really thought he was set up to be a squad-member in ME1 & ME2, and it's a shame. He could have brought a new military perspective compared to Mordin's science prespective. Emily Wong should have been the ships repporter in ME3. Period!!! I also like Councilor Esheel, the Salarian Councilor in ME3 if the Distiny Ascension is destroyed in ME1. You are slowly winning me over regarding Vega... I'm going to bring him to every mission on my next playthrough of ME3 to see what he offers throughout the game. I'll reserve judgement for now, but you make good points ;-) All the best.

Did you know there was an animated Mass Effect movie that takes place in between Mass Effect 1 and 2 while Shepherd was still dead and Vega was the main character in the movie

Kal’Reegar and Kirrahe should’ve been squadmates. Because we’ve only ever had one Quarian Squadmate and one Salarian Squadmate and the number of squadmates in 3 is pretty damn small. Emily Wong should’ve been a reporter on the Normandy, instead of the good reviews stunt with Diana Allers and her show (Find out more between…the Battle Tits”. And Padok Wilks should’ve been on the Normandy in ME3 too. Such great characters. A shame they didn’t get more screen time.

Udina is a bit unlikable, it's quite obvious, but in my LE playthrough I thought a bit otherwise. He, like Shepard, has to make tough deciscions while talking into the account his purpose as a oolitician - to approve, explain and defend the steps that humanity, and particularly Shepard, took as a political figure, being the newest council race (kind of) and thecfirstchuman spectre respectively. He gives you shit, but look at it from another perspective - he himself is swimming with the sharks, and he deals with the council's ignorance constantly. When the council questions Shepard's deeds, he defends him, and when reapers arrive, he pulls every string imaginable to help Earth. He did make a mistake by siding with cerberus, yes, but, you know, I guess he had to do something to make the council move. No matter how he is portrayed, he really does have a backbone.

I love Nihlus Kryik, Admiral Hackett & James Vega. Emily Wong, Fai Dan & Tarquin Victus are cool as well. I don’t think Kirrahe is underrated at all. Ken & Gabby are more like Fitz & Simmons from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Admiral Hackett is a badass. I'm hoping he'll be President of the Systems Alliance or something like that in the next game. Anderson is gone, Shepard is(probably) gone. Hackett is still there, and he lead the successful counteroffensive against the Reapers. He's humanities greatest surviving hero. I don't know that he'd work as human councillor, but leading humanity in its own space I think would work. Udina I think was a great character too. I think he had potential to be a great human leader, but in the end he fell to fear and desperation.

What about the best quarian marine KAL REEGAR!?

I always liked Udina as a character, because he's basically a foil to Shepard. Shepard is a solider, Udina is a politician. Shepard is either inspiring or threatening, Udina kisses asses or puts down people as he needs to. Shepard is liked and/or respected by his subordinates, peers and superiors, Udina is neither of those. But both ultimately do what they do to advance human interests. When ME3 comes, Udina becomes de facto political leader of humanity, while Shepard becomes responsible for organizing a united front against the reapers. In that sudden weigh of responsibility, they finally find some common ground. In the end, Udina goes with Cerberus to save humanity, which is something Shepard has done a game prior. And while Shepard becomes a mythical hero, Udina is forgotten as traitor.

hackett is essentially the narrator of the series

I feel like most people i've watched do Mass Effect Trilogy playthroughs utterly hate Udina. I mean it's understandable since he's pretty much a douche to you, but then you end up agreeing with him in ME3 regarding the council being unwilling to pool resources into helping earth, which to some respect, makes him become more likeable. However from what i've seen, because of all that prior hate towards Udina, people don't really bother to talk to him after the initial conversation, missing out on what he has to say, and the changes he's going to make for the greater good. It's a shame as people start thinking that Udina was just another jerk when he teamed up with Cerberus, but the fact of the matter is i think he had good intentions, no one was helping earth, and he had to make a decision, undoubtedly a bad one, but it just left everyone believing he really was a douche in the end, when in reality, he was only just trying to make the best out of a terrible situation.

Wong should have replaced Allers. She would have had appealed much more to fans than Allers did. They just wanted Jessica Chobot to voice act her to hopefully pull on her game reporter clout. Instead they ended up with a bland character that nobody cared about. Oh well.

Hackett over Anderson any day! Anderson was just going to retrofit and make off with the Normandy while Shep’s on trial. Not cool dude! No take backs.

You didn't include green wifu Shiala!

Underrated... Hackett? Whaaaaaaaaaaauuuut? I've been watching a lot of different "Let's Plays" of MELE, I don't think anyone I watched didn't think Hackett was awesome.

I just want to say first off another great video and I was going to recommend doing something similar but as tier video but it seems you already had something cooked up. Lol Also it brings me joy hearing about Hackett, he really is an OG. I just love his character. I would like to see some kind of spin off (maybe, in a movie, book, or comic) about his younger days as a soldier. We all need a Hackett in out lives. I also always liked Vasir and thought she had valid points. It's ashamed she is willing to throw innocent lives away for her goals, because it would have been a good team up with her and Shepard. Also she has , I think, one of the coolest fights (and boss music) in the whole trilogy.

I'll give it to Dan for including Udina (one of the earliest characters, has the first lines of the game, and is one of MEs most tragic characters), but aside from him, Dan either ends up confusing "underrated" for "underused" or simply includes those who aren't for a myriad of other reasons! 1 out of 12 doesn’t cut it, so here's a more reasonable list: 12-Maya Brooks 11-Khalisah bint-Sinan Al Jilanni 10-Dr. Chloe Michel 9-The Virmire Survivors 8-Veetor'Nara 7-Conrad Verner 6-Donnell Udina 5-Dalatrass Linron 4-Kahlee Sanders 3-Samara 2-Jack 1-EDI

2:55 Theres a mod for that now, if youre playing on pc, fully voiced too (AI so its not perfect, but its better than Original release)

the bit about the UN gave me a giggle the difference between specters and the UN is specters get things done

Who is that Turian with the orange striped face that follows you all around the Citadel in ME-3, and what does he want? If you get close to him he will just sand there and stare at you. You don't seem to be able to interact with him. He will follow you to every level of the Citadel and then follow you around that area as would a PI.

Admiral Hackett retired to hunt werewolves in the woods of Northern New York State.

I skipped the James Vega part, thanks for putting the timestamps. Good video other than that.

There's a Mass Effect animated movie that tells James Vega's story.

How is Udina on this list and not Kaidan? I have never heard any appreciation for Kaidan.

I’d say Ashley. So many hate her, but I love her. 🤷‍♂️

you called nylus nyilus which sounds horrible,,, unsubscribed...
