Gamecrate rates all the NPC's from worst to best for Mass Effect & Dragon Age.
Editor's note: In November of last year, we published The Definitive Ranking of all 43 Dragon Age and Mass Effect Companions. It represented one writer's argument for the "proper" arrangement of the companions in Bioware's biggest games, ranked from worst (Anders) to best (Dog, obviously). Of course any such ranking is going to inspire controversy, and the article went on to become one of our most popular and highly discussed ever. The opinions expressed in the article were debated and criticized around the web, and the comments section here on GameCrate exploded (though sadly many of those comments were lost during a server migration a few months back -- R.I.P. comments).
One of the best and most articulate of the comments left in response belonged to Lucy Melocco, who offered her insightful take and constructive criticism, as well as providing some insight into her own rankings. We reached out to her for further discussion and encouraged her to write up her thoughts in more detail. The following article is the result.
Let this be a lesson to everyone out there to put some thought (and proper grammar) behind your comments online.
