User blog comment:The Shadow User/Top Five Favorite Mass Effect Characters/@comment-1691295-20101012061552

So many different ways you could spin this. Best written? Best I'd like as people if they were real? Best I like as characters?

I suppose I'll be ranking by a mix.

1. Garrus. 2. Mordin. 3. Zaeed. 4. Jack. 5. Kaidan.

With that list I think I weighted heavily towards writing and performance, though whatever characters I'd have a 6-10 wouldn't be that far behind.
