"Since its appearance four years ago, BioWare's Mass Effect series has become the standard all other RPGs –including BioWare's other stellar RPG, Dragon Age—attempt to live up to. With their rich dialogue and alignment system, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 became the go-to games of 2007 and 2010—at least for Xbox 360 owners. The games weren't released on PS3 so Sony fans were left out in the cold. This month, however, BioWare makes it up to them by releasing a special edition of Mass Effect 2 complete with interactive comic, DLC missions, and a brand new engine."
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
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
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.

More sucking up to Bioware? Really?
They've had a handful of fantastic games, but only a handful. I'm sick of seeing Bioware touted as the "best" WRPG developer simply because they don't really have ~any~ competition these days.
