....

Exactly, lacking in ME1 but turned out to be a great character in the end. Though I have a preference for Liara. In ME1 she couldn't say two sentences without saying something awkward and was fainting most of the time. Then ME2, the first thing she says when you see her again : "I will flay you with my mind". Brilliant, beautiful, and now powerful

I always played as Femshep,

Mainly because of immersion reasons and Jennifer Hale of course,

So i never romanced her,so i am sure i missed out a lot of stuff from her character,because she seems too generic to me throughout the series,

Her being Shadow Broker is indeed an Asspull to me,

Garrus Romance was the only one i can stand(i generally dislike romance)

Femshep and Garrus have good-chemistry

And also this..

Wow, I didn't know Garrus could be that strong... Maybe I should rely a bit more on my teammates next time. Usually I just charge alone with my vanguard.

I played both male and female Shepard. As a male I always hesitate between Tali and Liara, my favorites, though Miranda and Jack are also interesting. But as a female Garrus seemed the only interesting one. Though it may just be that being a male myself I'm not as interested in the other options as with a male Shepard.
