"It is unclear whether the entity of Sovereign is the ship itself or a computer that exerts control over the ship." There is never any indication that Sovereign is a computer controlling the ship, everything in the game refers to it as the ship itself, as an artificial life form, an AI like the geth that is big enough to operate like a ship.

In the article it states that "It is unknown how Saren found Sovereign..." Well, in Mass Effect: Revelations Saren took the research of a man who had the location and the basic outline of what Saren was. I would assume that is how Saren found Sovereign. AhrenAKADan ( talk) 15:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Never actually edited on here before and not sure what the guidelines are, but surely there should be a spoiler warning on both the Benezia and Sovereign entries?
If I'm wrong please correct me, but I'd rather not have known how the game ends in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.147.37 ( talk) 11:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe add a note that this may be a reference to Leeroy Jenkins? The corporal rushes ahead without cover, only to be killed instantly. When Shepard talks to him on the Normandy, he/she can tell Jenkins not to rush or something. 79.115.183.90 ( talk) 11:20, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Though it hasn't been confirmed officially that Garrus is recruitable, it has been confirmed in the list of achievements that Archangel is recruitable and in a Gamespot video that garrus is Archangel. Sources: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/masseffect2workingtitle/video/6244171/mass-effect-2-tots-demo ; http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/mass-effect-2/achievements/ .

I don't see a comfirmation of this in the sources. Can anyone comfirm? 194.78.37.122 ( talk) 12:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
The achievement list would seem to confirm that Legion is in fact recruitable. The 10th squadmate quest achievement refers to the geth, and another achievement listed along with seven other squadmate achievements mentions "obtaining geth hardware" (there are only eight recruitment achieves, but you add in Jacob and Miranda are with you from the start, and that gets you 10 total). =/= Ironoclast (Talk) 21:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Is this canon: "Samara could be a romantic interest to both male and female Shepard in Mass Effect 3"? If not it should be removed from the article 78.97.195.69 ( talk) 20:31, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I support the split of Non-recurring characters of the Mass Effect universe into a separate article. And then deleting that article as non-notable. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 01:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Split - Article should be split into eight new articles due to length by splitting section two into seven articles, and splitting section 3 into a new article. Thoughts???-- Jax 0677 ( talk) 05:47, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi there! I splitted section 2.1 into a dedicated wikipage for each character. A lot of style and refs work has to be done but I think the rest of the characters should also have a dedicated wiki. Do you agree? Daniel Olivaw ( talk) 19:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
By the way, I also think that Main page should be deleted and it looks like it will. I started creating this dedicated articles so we don't loose all this valuable info about each character. Daniel Olivaw ( talk) 19:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

I believe that this article probably violates copyright per Wikipedia:Plot-only_description_of_fictional_works#Avoiding_violating_copyright. Describing every character decision tree is EXTREMELY over detailed. We need to trim these significantly. Gaijin42 ( talk) 16:05, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
I noticed other "Characters of Blah" articles had a groupshot picture at the start of the article (e.g. Carnivàle), so I did a quick search for "Mass Effect" and sure enough: [1]. It's the " N7 Day" poster thing, and it's got most of the characters; obivously, getting them all in would be impossible. There's also a FemShep version, but if we decide to use the image the male Shepard is probably the better. – Bellum ( talk) 17:16, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Does Saren's naming have anything to do with the poison sarin? Something worth considering, if the sourcing is available. (Otherwise, what is he named after?) czar · · 05:44, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
There are plenty of RS for a section on FemShep, or the role of the Commander's gender selection and its role in video game culture. Something to consider for expansion. [2] [3] czar · · 17:40, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
So let me get this straight: Garrus, the lancer, has his own article; but Shepard, the hero, doesn't have one? Are we absolutely sure a Shepard article can't be made? Leader Vladimir ( talk) 16:58, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't think "recurring" is the right choice for picking what characters we should list. That's not saying there should be no restrictions -- listing every minor character in the series is an incredibly bad idea -- but by making it "have at least two appearances" we're missing out on Sovereign, at the least, who was basically the big bad of the first game (although he sort of shares the role with Saren).
I don't know what exact threshold to use. The best I can suggest is common sense, but maybe not everyone will agree on who's major enough for inclusion. – Bellum ( talk) ( contribs) 22:48, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Funnily enough, all of the alien race names in this article have been (prior to my sporadic editing) in lower case. Surely, the names of races should be reached as proper nouns; especially if they are treated as such in the game's actual text anyway? Melaisis ( talk) 21:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
No no no. This is all wrong. See, I thought this was pretty weird when I started playing, but then I noticed something and I respect the game developers for being the first to do this. Normally in sci-fi we capitalize races; Wookiee, Klingon, etc. because they usually have a single government and are thought of as a nation. But then I noticed, in everyday use we don't write Human or Cat or Dog. Mass Effect is trying to be very realistic in its depiction of a sci-fi universe, and I applaud them for doing this little thing. I request you change everything back to lowercase. 75.41.35.95 ( talk) 00:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree with Melaisis that the races should be capitalized. Cheers. SaturnCat ( talk) 10:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Partly because of the massive size of the page, I muddled with the idea of creating a separate article for Garrus. Right now, it's by no means certain, but I've found some sources that could come in handy: <used and removed> – Bellum ( talk) 00:10, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Also had a look at Tali:
And again, I am not sure if I can dig up any more stuff than that. If neither can get their article, which is more than possible (although Tali got a fair amount of coverage due to her face), these can probably be used on the page itself to give it a better real-world view. – Bellum ( talk) 17:08, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Shush, you. Also did some looking at Commander Shepard – see here. It looks like we can probably add Shepard to the "to split" list; in hindsight, that's not that shocking. I think there are actually more sources to do with FemShep than Shepard as a whole. Make of that what you will. – Bellum ( talk) 17:16, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Tali and Liara need their own pages.....Tali is a major character in the series and Liara basically is the deuteroganist of the entire series and an even more major lore character than Garrus.
I don't think anyone has a problem with this. The main characters of the series by far have won enough respect and love that there is enough, if not, plenty of details and I am shocked Liara doesn't have her own page. I say go for it!-- Dr. Pizza ( talk) 11:59, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm now beginning to wonder if there should really be separate entries for Harbinger and the Collector General. It's made clear that CG is just an avatar for Harbinger, as opposed to Saren and Benezia, who had wills of their own. I am well aware of how the characters are credited in the subtitles. However, the journal and logs identify Harbinger as leader of the Collectors. For most of the campaign, you think its all one guy. It is not until the very end that you learn that Harbinger is a Reaper, and he was using CG as an avatar because his own body was light years away. So I'm wondering if it might be prudent to just list Harbinger there, making note that the body he has for most of ME2 is a puppet/avatar. Simon Beavis
They are major characters and Liara maybe the second most important character in regards to the plot, only to Shepard. Wrex is also a major fan favorite. The main crew should all have their own character pages. This helps clean up this page. I say Liara, Wrex, Ashley, Kaiden, EDI, Miranda, Mordin, and Thane should all have separate pages. Texasgoldrush ( talk) 06:41, 12 July 2013 (UTC)Texasgoldrush
The sources are out there....there is no reason why there would be a lack of sources for the dueteragonist of the entire trilogy in Liara, who also had her own DLC in Mass Effect 2 that was so well received. Also Thane has a very positive reception as well, and I remember IGN's ME2 review singling him out among the game's best characters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Texasgoldrush ( talk • contribs) 06:10, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
Just letting you know Liara T'Soni article (named just Liara for some reason) now exists but is shit-tier at the moment. -- LKAvn ( talk) 08:38, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Liara T'Soni redirected back here. Her article was mainly unsourced fancruft confusing to casual readers, had no third-party reception, and had remained incomplete since its creation. sixtynine • speak up • 00:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
The Illusive Man is not the subject of significant, in-depth coverage. Our coverage reflects the secondary sources, which here cover him as much as the other characters, so the characters list is the best location to build out a section on the Illusive Man. The telltale sign is the Reception section, which is a series of quotes and mentions rather than an in-depth analysis of the character. Still, it's good stuff that can be paraphrased within the main character list. czar 22:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
This list keeps growing day after day with unsourced, in-universe video game trivia/"fancruft". This stuff either needs to be sourced or removed. czar 22:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
