Jacob: Who am I kidding, I have no more impressions of Jacob
Except he seemed to have a beef with Thane.
Miranda: Did her loyalty mission. Awww look, she has a heart after all
Totally seems like a good sister. She's getting a change for the better with her character.
Mordin: I just like him better and better. He's definitely a character that I get a lot of conversation from, and the 'brilliant scientist with a heart' thing is endearing.
Garrus: His loyalty mission had me worried for him. He was getting kind of violent and tense and angry all the time. I actually thought it was pretty awesome characterization, because I felt genuinely worried about him being changed by the betrayal he went through and how desiring revenge was affecting him. I've already flirted with him once, but I'm going to do Thane's loyalty mission first before deciding who to go with
I love how Garrus is super shocked by flirting and then rolls with it.
Grunt: Seems like he's more friendly and has 'found himself' since becoming part of Wrex's clan, but his characterization seems to have kind of stopped since that mission. I'm a bit disappointed. XD
Jack: Aww is someone getting embarrassed that I keep talking to her?
She also changes, like I thought she would, but still seems like she's got a ways to go yet. I did her loyalty mission (brought Miranda along for it, so I got some snippets of dialogue from Miranda during it that was cool to see).
I'm interrupting here to make note of the fight between the children that commenced after Jack's loyalty mission.
How did I settle it? I told them both to STFU. They're both in the wrong, far as I'm concerned. Jack doesn't need to personally rage at Miranda since Miranda did nothing to her and had zero involvement with what happened to Jack. And Miranda needs to admit Cerberus did wrong and stop antagonizing Jack about shit.
So yeah, I wasn't about to take sides.
Tali: YAY TALIIIIIII
I've always liked Tali. She's got a good head on her shoulders and is another old friend that I get to have back for this game. <3 Still have to do her loyalty mission. I liked the recruiting mission for her though, that was fun. I helped save the commander (?) with her, which felt good. I'm just so fascinated by the Geth and the Quarian history.
As a side note, during a side mission in ME1, you come across a Geth base and there's a part where you click a terminal and get this description that seems to describe a recording of a Quarian singing some song, and the Geth are all standing around listening to it.
Methinks that at least some Geth like/are grateful to the Quarians for creating them. I thought it was an interesting touch.
Thane: Totally not how I expected an assassin to be. He's actually a good guy (at least now), rescuing the workers under Nassana from being killed and whatnot. He's got a strange voice. So far I like him, though his now-short lifespan isn't good.
Was pleasantly surprised to hear he had a wife and has a son; cool to see character's have families like that.
I'm getting Samara, then probably doing Thane's mission, then I'll get Kasumi, or something like that.
