Companions no one likes. Be it because they're awful or just uninteresting.

>gravity is a mean mother
Jacob, lol
Picrel is ofc a clear 2nd worst character. The ones in 1 and 2 were OK mostly. Idk what the me3 writers were thinking. I don't even understand what vega is doing on earth.

He's there to be the hypermasculine muscle sex symbol. The Mass Effect series has always struggled with that. The companion roster obviously needs that niche filled, but the writers and players never really settled on how exactly to do it... probably because it's too close to the role that Garrus plays in the socio-sexual dynamics. Garrus isn't really quite the same thing as a muscle himbo, though, and so Mass Effect was left trying to figure out how to make a man who is more than just muscles. And failed. Which I regard as the most damning indictment of gender theory, or at least of the actual practice and development of gender theory. Because a real gender theory would not just completely ignore certain genders (like cis hyper masculinity) to only focus on one (women...).

Speaking of ugly wahmen. Such a downgrade from Liara and Samara. Not just in term of look.

Didn't Cheese McBeef turned out to be somewhat okay though? I admit that I pretty much memory holed 95% of ME3, I just have a faint souvenir of some companions being screeched at but surprisingly being not that bad.

I was fully expecting to hate Vega but I ended up liking him. For one I work with veterans, I know a million marines just like him in personality so they nailed that aspect of his character. I know why he's in the game, he's there for people who started with ME3 have a character going "wait I don't understand, what's going on?", but as a tool for delivering exposition, it works.But yeah, he is still my least-favorite character simply because everyone he's being compared to is better.

Having a dudebro himbo serve as the ambassador for players new to the series was actually a very smart moveJacob is the real turd because he's at once boring, purposeless, and deeply unlikable. I'm also a racist but even I thought his loyalty mission was extremely fucked up, genuinely what were they thinking? Black dad abandoning his family, using drugs to create his own fiefdom and harem, God damn dude

To this I find it amazing how many people praised ME3 despite it having Veilguard-Tier writing well before Veilguard.ME2 was already bad but nothing in ME3 made a lick of fucking sense.
How people memoryholed Kai Fucking Lang is a mystery to me.
One of the worst videogame villain I have ever seen, to this day I am confused whether he was a joke character.Kaiden, Jacob and Vega are holy trinity of characters I forget ever existed until someone mentions them.I legit dont understand peoples hate for Leliana. Is it all because Gaider was so smarmy about retconning her death?
Shes did the whole "from slut to tradwife/NUN"-LARP before it was cool.Especially when worse characters like Magic Grandma and quirky Magic Golem Grandma are around.

Sometimes the best companions are the worst companions because you can make their lives a living hell. Take Jericho in Fallout 3. Who needs Clover as a Slave when you can have Jericho as a slave? As soon as I recruit Jericho I force him to equip a slave rag outfit and dorky glasses a kids birthday hat forever so he always remembers who the boss is when I take him on my raider adventures! I also find it cute that Jericho has a crush on Nova so whenever we're in Megaton I'll command my slave Jericho to patiently sit in the cuck chair watching while I spend over 1,000 caps to bang Nova's brains out for over 10 ingame days before we get back to raiding the wastes together. Also at some point during the late game I always make sure to nuke Megaton just to piss Jericho off even more and laugh at him becoming homeless and miserable. People say they hate Jericho but I get really sad if Jericho dies ingame. Yeah sure I can just recruit a stronger follower to replace Jericho, right? Except he won't be Jericho! Sorry but Jericho was my bro he just can't be replaced by the likes of Clover or Butch or Charon or a TTW follower or Fawkes whoever. Jericho is simply irreplaceable as my enslaved low INT raider bro follower

I think Sky is the most whatever companion of Jade Empire. This coming mostly from the fact that, like ME's Kaidan, he's more of a straight man among more quirky teammates. Although I could see some people disliking Hou and Black Whirlwind more based on if their jokes land for them.
