Jury’s still out on that one, though at the moment, Cora is just another one of those human teammates that BioWare apparently doesn’t want us to get all that attached to.Ī testament to the strength of Mass Effect’s characters is the fact that James Vega has ended up all the way down here, since he’s actually pretty likable. Her character development is also rushed and doesn’t tell us all that much about her Cora is a person who respects rules and the chain of command…we guess? Probably?Ī neutral point is her having the same last name as the Illusive Man, which has led to a plethora of wild fan theories from ‘ she’s totally his daughter and they’re working together!’ all the way to ‘ they have the same last name because it’s a RELATIVELY COMMON SURNAME’.
Maybe it’s because Cora wears an unsettling mini-smile most of the time, when her entire character makes it clear that she’s seething inside from being passed over for that big promotion to Pathfinder. She’s a biotic, experienced in combat and has a chip on her shoulder from being discriminated against and treated as different. The only difference is that one is a powerful, experienced and utterly loyal space cop, and Morinth… well, she just wants to make Shepard her next snu-snu victim.Ĭora Harper is our first Andromeda character on the list, though with her barely ranking above a psychopathic murderer and a shop mannequin, it’s not looking good. There’s really no reason to go that far, however Samara and Morinth have the same stats. Morinth then goes on to impersonate her mother for the remainder of the game, helped by the family resemblance and her (almost) identical set of skills. Her status as an Ardat-Yakshi means that Morinth has become addicted to sexing her victims to death, but don’t expect her to show any remorse instead, she seems to think her particular brand of murder is doing people a favor.įortunately, you can only recruit Morinth by betraying her mother during their confrontation, a choice no sane player would ever make outside of sheer curiosity (and with a save file handy).
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Morinth is an unrepentant serial killer, essentially an alien vampire who’s left a trail of dead bodies across the galaxy for hundreds of years. Morinth lands herself right at rock bottom, since she’s the only squadmate in the franchise who will straight up kill you for fun and profit.
WARNING: Spoilers for the original trilogy below! Here is Every Mass Effect Squadmate, Ranked Worst To Best. Note that the Andromeda squadmates are also here they rank pretty low, though that's mostly because they haven't had two extra games, a bajillion comics, and a hilarious comedy DLC to give them life. With only a small handful of duds and so many great companions, ranking is nigh-impossible.
Thing is, even with all those conversation wheels, it can be difficult to see Shepard as their own character they don't develop all that much across the trilogy, and you can have them making such wildly different decisions from scene to scene that it's hard to discern any character outside of 'good at shooting things'.įortunately, that's where BioWare have you covered, with a galaxy full of endearing and badass teammates who bring all the character you could ever need. Mass Effect is a sci-fi action RPG that puts you in the shoes of Commander Shepard, hero of the galaxy and puncher of annoying reporters.
