If I had to summarise: _ Cora is truly a good person, professional under fire, friendly when casually riding the Mako. Reliable and sweet _Jaal is a funny and friendly Jaavik, interesting to know him and his culture _Vetra is used to play tough to protect her sister. She hides her affection not knowing its her bigger strength. Not military minded like the other Turian is really fun to see. _Drack is your typical veteran Grandpa, just with spines around his neck. Reliable, honest and caring and funny. _Peebee is very likeable when you come to know her. Her attitude repels anyone not truly wanting to know her, its a protection. She cares about people, about the crew (and Jaal especially) but she's an asari after all, she will outlive the whole crew, her relationship with people is different. _Liam is an idiot with good intentions. He wants to be helpful but can't keep his mouth shut. He discovers people but pushing them to the edge. Can be likeable when he uses his brain and think before he talks.

Garrus meeting Vetra after ordering the bartender's strongest drink, "Shaken, not stirred", after he introduces himself like Bond, "Vakarian, Garrus Vakarian". Before he looks to his left, or right and sees Vetra there. You can guess the rest, if Garrus is on a mission and all at the time.

Incompetently: an elcor. I laughed to hard at this. They were literally my least favorite species, until i meet the collectors...then the kett. Still think the reapers were fucking awesome if not evil shit heads. Also this is why i love andromeda more than the originals, i know blaspheme! but still the characters feel more real, i guess its more due to the fact they arent military, but the originals always felt like they were made of plastic, made to fill a certain role and nothing else. this game takes character development very seriously and does it very well, the relationships you build and the ones you see grow, are all so much better. i really cant wait for the sequel even if we do have to wait for a 2 more fuckin years.

[@archangel9191]

I am sure as I previously said 2 months ago in my last comment that Liam has to mean Garrus Vakarian and his mercs on Omega, perhaps, before this game's events, despite not a part of the original storyline and all. Garrus has face scars from taking a gunship rocket to the side of his head as we all know in M.E.2 because also Drack in the game, o.k on the Tempest, sure, but, still, to Vetra, "some crazy one-eyed merc tried to pry my head plate off with a knife". Very obvious, Zaeed Massani and we meet Bain, his son on Eos. So this story is not thatfar apart from the original trilogy that much after all. Who knows...?

[@mnateshyamalan8729]

Lol Jaal sounds like he's beat boxing when he snores 🤣

[@Sapphias]

All these teases about a 'scarred-up turian merc', is that supposed to be Garrus? Although he got the scar after he stopped being a vigilante so maybe not. Still, let Liam finish the goddamned story everyone! This was really surprising though, I usually rotate between Jaal, Vetra & Peebee to bring with me so I've never gotten much Liam banter and jeez is he a DICK... What the fuck is his problem? This seems really out of character? Like, he seems to be the friendly and open sort from all the other interactions you have with him in the game and then this? At the end of this video I was getting annoyed just listening to his voice lol. He needs to take a fucking chill pill when in the Nomad. It feels really forced, though. Like they had to create some tension between the squadmates and just picked Liam???? It's weird.

[@AllForFire]

I have to say, going through the general gist of the comments here, that I'm glad people are at least backing up and fleshing out their...distaste for Liam instead of just straight up bashing him. But for the life of me, I still can't get it. I mean, is he my personal favorite? No. But I really am having a headscratcher of a time understanding why everyone is calling him a dick. Or at least, MORE of a dick then all the others are sometimes to each other. Heck, to my perception, I can honestly point out instances where it's the _others_ being unreasonably snippy at him.But many just let it slide in those cases because they like the others better. And alot of the time, he actually brings up or exposes entirely valid points. He questions Cora's never questionning orders and lacking ability to think outside the box, and how that causes not just moral dilemnas, but practical ones for not just her, but all those around her. And as we see in her Loyalty Mission, he's dead on. He points out that Peebee is pretty much acting like a selfish oppurtunist, and what happens later? *Peebee ejects us onto a planet we can't get picked up from, narrowly missing getting us all dunked in lava.* But no, just because he doesn't go about saying this via snarky one-liners or by being smoother than can be reasonably expected of a normal person under such circumstnances, it's all just "him being a dick." I will admit that he's riding Vetra was a low point, and his _persistent_ "boneheadedness" can get a little exasperating, but really, is he truly any worse than, say, _Garrus?_ Whom, may I remind, for as much as he grew into becoming Best Bro over the course of the Original Trilogy, didn't exactly start out as the most patient or open-minded person ever, as evidenced by the very fact that he was a Cowboy Cop (huh, again just like Liam), and wasn't exactly all that tactful at first towards Wrex or Tali. Bottom line, is Liam the best character in Andromeda? Heck no.But, just like Garrus, does he deserve that we give him the chance to evolve over the course of this next saga, and potentially have us all go, years from now, "Wow, to think this is where he started?" Absolutely.

Liam is somewhat of a chaotic good socially awkward fool. I don't think he's intentionally pushing buttons, more like trying to get to know people but not knowing how to react properly. Could be his history being a cop or HUSTL, maybe that's just the general attitude he grew up with. I'm curious to see how he will evolve, now that he has a new family. And he's just overall frustrated with the progress, he misses getting things done and seeing results, probably misses the Milky Way more than the rest of them...

[@daviskendry200]

He doesn't have any shared background. Most of the crew were from the wrong side of the tracks or had military related experience. I look at it the other way around he is the normal guy in the middle of the awkward crew. He is the lawful good, being the ex cop and has the most altruistic goals. Drack and Vetra were criminals, Cora doesn't use her own moral compass, Peebee doesn't care and he gets along with Jaal, who doesn't have a shady past. He could be pushing buttons on purpose, or not, his conversations seem to be the most insightful into other characters, he doesn't actually give up much on himself.

[@julianroth326]

But he does go behind everyone's back to get things done. He tried following the rules but it didn't get him anywhere. -> chaotic. And he enjoys killing Kett... a lot.

[@AllForFire]

I have to agree with Julian. Given that one of Liam's very first convos with Cora is his disagreement and disdain for the "always follow orders without question" mentality, he distinguishes him as the opposite of Lawful pretty early on. And as Julian says, he in no way hesitates to bend and even break any and all rules he perceives he needs to in order to help any and all people that he can. Also, Vetra is really the only one he butts heads with for having been a 'criminal,' and yet ironically, that's not even the _real_ thing he gives her the most grief over. Same with Peebee. The thing he mostly reads her the riot act is over the fact that she cares more about her own goals and ideals, to the potential detriment of everyone and anyone around her. And Drack? He _looks up_ to Drack. Or at least is understandably impressed by his experiences. Overall, Other than having had cop training, FAILED cop training might I add, which led him to become a Crisis Response Member, there really is nothing that speaks to "Lawful," but a metric ton of "Chaotic."

1:06:30-1:06:58 = best dialogue in the game.

[@Doctor_pain]

I got that dialogue when i was trying to drive over a mountain and it got me by surprise. The fun thing is that i believed it was real at the beginning because i was romancing her xD

[@lordsickomode]

@@Doctor_pain i was mid air on eos when i got this, like 100 feet off the ground like peebee we're fucking flying not flying fucking

1:14:44 Ryder's reaction was adorable.

[@Viktoria_Thaelin]

Draks has the best lines

[@Danielle-ef6zn]

Why does Liam insist on antagonizing everyone? He seemed so sweet right up until after Habitat 7. Glad Drack told him to shove off immediately lmao

[@loudman12]

I think Drack was like him and wanted him away because it reminded it off him. Says so himself. The younger me would have killed you. The even younger me was you.

[@scrcwski8512]

Jaal Peebe Drack were the only ones I allowed on my Nomad. ZERO REGRETS, and now I know I couldnt choose better

[@MegadethTillDeth]

Also I used Liam the least out of everyone, one of the first times was with Vetra and after I heard him going in on her like that I legitimately couldn't stand it and kicked his ass out lol. Good job, thanks for doing this. I recorded most of the scenes and interactions with Vetra but didn't catch the dialogue because SAM was too busy telling me it was fucking cold on the ice planet or hot on the desert moon. Or, the glitches killed convos right as they started.

[@sodalit3]

Liam: I used to be a cop Everybody: Fuck 12

he' s the same with peebee except drack doesnt like him.

I wonder how many takes the vetra voice actor had to do for the line "Hey, Peanutbutter, check your weapon..."

Note to self. Punch Liam senseless whenever I bother to replay this, or any potential sequals.

[@meirthecreator9677]

Cora: a team of technicians watched the Sam feed after your jumpjet malfunction they observed Me and Liam: That’s awesome

[@DLRX]

Well Liam at least Jaal likes you but that's because he's Jaal, and I mean that in a good way. Seriously when he's in the Nomad with anybody else Liam just seems to push people's buttons (pissing off a great character like Vetra is a real d**k move). I like Liam but I will admit he's my least used squadmate. Outside of his friendship with Jaal, movie night, and loyalty mission Liam just comes off as a little bland IMO.

[@AllForFire]

I have to say, going through the general gist of the comments here, that I'm glad people are at least backing up and fleshing out their...distaste for Liam instead of just straight up bashing him. But for the life of me, I still can't get it. I mean, is he my personal favorite? No. But I really am having a headscratcher of a time understanding why everyone is calling him a dick. Or at least, MORE of a dick then all the others are sometimes to each other. Heck, to my perception, I can honestly point out instances where it's the _others_ being unreasonably snippy at him.But many just let it slide in those cases because they like the others better. And alot of the time, he actually brings up or exposes entirely valid points. He questions Cora's never questionning orders and lacking ability to think outside the box, and how that causes not just moral dilemnas, but practical ones for not just her, but all those around her. And as we see in her Loyalty Mission, he's dead on. He points out that Peebee is pretty much acting like a selfish oppurtunist, and what happens later? *Peebee ejects us onto a planet we can't get picked up from, narrowly missing getting us all dunked in lava.* But no, just because he doesn't go about saying this via snarky one-liners or by being smoother than can be reasonably expected of a normal person under such circumstnances, it's all just "him being a dick." I will admit that he's riding Vetra was a low point, and his _persistent_ "boneheadedness" can get a little exasperating, but really, is he truly any worse than, say, _Garrus?_ Whom, may I remind, for as much as he grew into becoming Best Bro over the course of the Original Trilogy, didn't exactly start out as the most patient or open-minded person ever, as evidenced by the very fact that he was a Cowboy Cop (huh, again just like Liam), and wasn't exactly all that tactful at first towards Wrex or Tali. Bottom line, is Liam the best character in Andromeda? Heck no.But, just like Garrus, does he deserve that we give him the chance to evolve over the course of this next saga, and potentially have us all go, years from now, "Wow, to think this is where he started?" Absolutely.

[@DLRX]

AllForFire You make some great points, and I personally don't hate Liam at all. Yes he can be a jerk and an idiot sometimes but so could Ashley, and she was my favorite love interest from the original trilogy. As many have pointed out Liam seems to get along great with the rest of the crew when they're on the Tempest but for whatever reason in the Nomad things can get a little tense among certain individuals. Cora's my favorite love interest in MEA but Liam does bring up great points about her but then again I actually think Liam and Cora get along fine they just have different approaches. You're dead on about Peebee but at least we know she comes to care for the crew in the end. Bottom line, he's a good enough character and definitely has more personality than someone like Kaiden and I think there is definitely room for improvement. Again he's my least used squadmate but only because I like the others better, but it doesn't mean I don't like him. Thanks for your incite and feedback, much appreciated.

[@AllForFire]

Actually, my first thought for comparison was indeed to Ashley. But I figured using one of the characters that was more universaly adored by most would give me point more oomph.X) And yep, while I was among what felt like the rare few, I already had nothing against Cora from the get go, I can say that my affection for her only got reinforced as things went along. She really does have " a heart as soft as rose petals" under all that.^^ ;) Ya know, some people talked at the time (and still some few today, though nowhere NEAR as vehement, thank goodness) saw Kaidan as a better choice than Ashley because, if nothing else, at least he wasn't a trigger-happy "Space-Racist". But personaly, I never held what sounded like much more reasonable concerns than I've ever heard from any _genuine_ racist person against her. Plus, she grows out of it like, the second she actually _gets to know_ said aliens, especially Tali, Liara and Garrus. And Wrex, though she'll never admit it. ;) X) And I honestly always just found her more...interesting? Alive? Not sure, but she was always my pick, even though I never romanced her personally. Great friend though. :) The irony comes in when, spurred by curiosity and of course the desire to explore the entirety of Mass Effect forwards and backwards, I gave a similar second reflection of Kaidan's entire Self, and honestly, I find myself mystified to discover that, contrary to my own initial sentiment...I found myself entirely vindicated in my choice. A good man, a solid squaddy and a great friend but...just _something,_ you know? X) Still has one over on Jacob though. XD And I am ALWAYS delighted to have intelligent conversation with fellow MEers!^^ Cheers, and you're most welcome and invited to provide your own feedback.^^

[@emma87654]

Hey, his loyalty mission is seriously funny!

[@DLRX]

emma87654 no argument there. I mentioned his loyalty mission as a highlight.

[@carl9148]

I researched Saren on Mass Effect Wiki, looked at his background nd everything he did before the events of Mass Effect 1, it all fits both the evidence and the timelines before Mass Effect Andromeda, his sudden descent into madness and obsession, his rogue Spectre activities, his distaste towards humanity and the death of his brother, Desolas, Special Ops training that coincidentally, Vetra shares with her father, basic training but still, his death on the Citadel, preferably taking his own life thanks to Shepard's insistence, his brutal methods and the results everyone knew he delivered in his missions at the time, etc, it all fits, right? Add that Vetra and Sid, her sister as Turians share the Nyx surname like their mother, not father, a tradition and custom on Palaven perhaps, then the evidence confirms it, Saren is, or has to be, their dad, their mother must be the cold and distant mother in politics, at the time of his disappearance, because it's a cover to survive his betrayal and his absence, she must have told her daughters a lie as Vetra said that made it so much easier, because this is what parents tell themselves and their kids all the time, to either justify things or apparently to make the hurt and anger less, but, it's still lying, personally, I think, she should have told them, at least at the right time, when they were ready to learn, but, I guess, we'll never know really for now.

[@the_corvid97]

That's an interesting idea, do we know how long Saren had been rogue for before ME1?

Is it shocking that everyone in this crew gets along with each other except Liam.

[@TheorycrafterTV]

What the fuck, Peebee's half Elcor? Is she trolling or is she for real.

[@AllForFire]

She's got zero reason to lie. And she repeats it too often and too consistently in her dialogues for it to be a made up trolling. Besides, she's right, it's deliciously ironic.^^Cheers!

[@emma87654]

That....actually make a lot of sense, if you think about it.

[@jennytalia6724]

it wouldnt really matter with the way asari mate

[@AllForFire]

Exactly. Bizarrely, alot of people often seem to overlook or forget this. I mean, we even have precedent example of Asari succesfully mating with Krogan! Heck, I'm convinced that (once they become fully sentient after the Rannoch Arc of course), they could successfully mate with _Geth._ But that's speculation on my part. Cheers!
