Perhaps the biggest and most noticeable change between Mass Effect 2 and its predecessor is the way combat is handled. The user interface and heads-up display has seen a noticeable overhaul, and for the better. Party members can now be directly controlled and positioned on the fly, allowing for some great opportunity for tactical playing. Using the left and right on the D-pad, the player gives the order for the respective party member to move to the designated spot. Up commands both party members to focus fire on whichever enemy you're aiming at, and down will call them back to regroup around you. As far as actual combat goes, the left and right on the D-pad will also command that respective party member to use his or her assigned ability if your crosshair is currently over an enemy.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
