Captain anderson from mass effect. He's always in shepherds corner. Always there to back him up. He's the ultimate father figure and leader. Garrus is cool and my best friend, but something about anderson...
Solid choice, he is a bit flawed in the first game (obsessed with pointing fingers at Saren (admittedly only being 1.05% wrong about him)); but he and Hackett are the OG superiors that have your back rather than constantly second-guessing you.
The latter even set his foot on a terrorist-owned ship, imagine the favors he had to pull in order to do that discreetly just to talk with you in person...
Mass effect had a good line up of really amazing characters.
Controversial opinion, but I feel that all games after the first one were only held up by the characters and worldbuilding - hell, ME2's plot IS the characters
There's a ton of worldbuilding and character development but the gameplay and exploration is cool as well.
Maybe it's because I played them all several times (the original ones, not the LE), but the gunfight mechanics are extremely okay enough to me - oddly enough Andromeda was the one I most enjoyed shooting in (though I didn't finish it due to hardware problems).
Exploration as in sightseeing, yes you're right, I forgot about it - though I don't remember there being much actual exploration in 2 and 3? Granted, I either missed some things in 2, or they were included with some DLCs I didn't have at first.
