• Base-Breaker:
  • Cora. While there are fans who like her for her abilities in combat, her personal fortitude and her backstory as of the latest novel (along with positive view on aliens in general), others view her complaints about problems she's faced being a biotic as Wangst (especially because characters like Kaidan and Jack had it worse). Some also dislike her culture worship of the asari. Even her haircut has drawn criticism, with some thinking it was perfect for her, others who disliked it for being like the memetic "I want to talk to the manager" haircut and a very vocal group who considered it's use on Cora a form of cultural misappropriation.
  • Liam appears to be one of the most divisive characters in the game. This is due to his interactions with Ryder and the other companions. While he has his fans, there are those who do not like Liam for his treatment towards Vetra and her sister and his reckless actions in his Loyalty Mission (which many consider one of the less well-written missions). He is also nearly identical to Jaal in terms of combat ability and has drawn parallels to Jacob, a rather contentious squadmate from the original trilogy.
  • Peebee has proven divisive as well. She can be very abrasive and aggravating to talk to and she's often considered a poor substitute for other asari squadmates like Liara or Samara. While this is a deliberate ploy on her part to keep people from getting close because she has trust issues, it still grates for some fans. There are also fans who consider her design ugly and unattractive for a potential Love Interest. There are also fans love her. Reasons include considering her funny - if not one of the funniest characters in the game, enjoying her traits, liking her character arc, or for being nothing like (and taking some indirect jabs at) other asari in personality nor culture.
  • SAM gets this as well. Some see SAM as a likeable, inquisitive and helpful AI. Others see SAM as an annoying Captain Obvious-type helper, a knock-off of EDI from the original trilogy or both.
• Complete Monster: The Archon of the Heleus Cluster. In addition to being a Hate Sink and a Scary Dogmatic Alien he has his own atrocities. He captured the Salarian Ark and began running tests on them, such as harvesting their organs while they were still alive, or committing Cold-Blooded Torture on them for information. He is also a Bad Boss, despite the fact that the kett are literally brainwashed to be loyal to the cause, having them punished if he thinks they aren't committed enough. When Ryder and co. came to liberate the Ark he eventually attempted to shoot down the Ark, killing the thousands of Salarians within, rather than allow them to escape. Obsessed with the Remnant technology known as Meridian, the Archon planed to use its immense terraforming capabilities to force entire races to surrender to exaltation, or else he'll use Meridian to kill all life on their worlds. He's even implied to be a traitor to the kett cause whose only out for personal gain and is gathering resources for a coup, and his right-hand-woman the Primus betrays him out of fear of what he's planning to do to their home. During the final fight, the Archon becomes so enraged at Ryder's efforts that he rescinds the offer entirely and just decides to commit genocide out of petty spite. Even in a genocidal species that views all non-kett life as barely sapient, the Archon of Heleus stands out as a monster among them.
