User blog comment:Temporaryeditor78/squadmate-mission matchups for maximum dialogue immersion/@comment-4923296-20140616223445

I know it's been ages but I had to reply. This was a very entertaining and well thought out blog. I thought I was the only person who liked to bring along specific squadmates for each mission due to dialogue and appropriateness! Some of these match-ups I didn't think of and have therefore made me plan for my re-playthrough, I especially liked the idea of the running gag of James doing the tech stuff in certain missions, and here I was being boring by choosing the tech-orientated people (Tali/Garrus) to fix the stuff :(

My personal planet choice for ME1:

Therum: Ashley, she makes a hilarious comment when you're in the lift with Liara, something along the lines of "Figure it out miss Prothean expert". It also starts off Ashley's dislike for Liara if you're a Male Shep (not sure if Ash dislikes Liara on a Fem Shep playthrough). Tali because in her recruitment for ME2 she will mention in a diary log how Shepard used a mining laser to break through the barrier on Therum, it just seems appropriate. Plus, it's the only instance where you can have all 3 girl squaddies in a mission, kinda a bonus for a male Shepard, alien love triangle indeed.

Feros: Garrus if you're opting for a Paragon Shepard of not sacrificing the innocents to achieve the goal ect. so your teaching rubs off on Garrus resulting in him (in dialogue near the end of the game) opting to join back with C-Sec to do things properly. Bring Tali too as she and Garrus reminisce about meeting the Thorian in the third game.

Noveria: Wrex because of the Rachni choice at the end (he also makes a "They're fools, you should eat them" comment during Port Hansham when talking to the Synthetics Insights guy) and Liara (obvious reasons).

Virmire: Wrex and Virmire victim, same reasons as you tbh.

Ilos: Liara as it gives her a chance to fangasm over the Prothean planet, and so she can speak to a Prothean VI and Tali as she makes interesting comments about Ilos about how we shouldn't be there and how her people once tried to colonize it. This matchup also makes Tali say during the Council choice at the end that your forces should be saved to attack Sovereign, which seems appropriate given as to how important she thinks it is to destroy AI machines.
