As always, it turns out we really love the plain Duo much more than we let on. New player data show that Ashley and Kaidan are actually the most popular squadmates in The Mass Effect Legendary Edition, beating fan favourites like Tali and Garrus. On the original Normandy, Why Kaidan Is My Favorite Crewmate? This ranking is a little hard to believe. You get more opportunities to use Kaidan and Ashley, as they are the two first companions that you can access to, you get to work on this site, but it still seems to be just a little stretch. The only plausible explanation is that data includes people who played about ten minutes and then put down the game forever, not the rest of the OG Normandy gang. You will read and we’ll let it. Here’s the official digit. This doesn’t end the theory that players don’t stick with the game very long skewing the numbers, since this is very much the order you get your companions in. The only exception is Wrex and Tali, but that can be explained by the fact that Wrex is not mandatory, and can only reach the end of Virmire. That would tell us the story of the most popular squadmates, which shows that people who stuck with the game tend to join Tali and Garrus. Bringing a crewmate on at least five missions will give you an achievement, and, through that metric, we are in the lead. The human duo arrived on the last floor as expected.
