Let's be real, Mass Effect had the advantage of having multiple alien races. The humans in ME series were all bland apart from Jack.
The companions in Outer Worlds 2 is are fine, only the robot is boring as fuck. Niles is better than I expected and has a dash of Garrus to him. Marisol is fine, but is a bit too profesional for my liking. Aza is a murderhobo and probably the best design visually of them all.
Inez and Tristan are the ones that start out a bit grating since they've been brainwashed by their respective factions, but along their companion quests they become pretty good if you push them to challenge their ideas so they wake up from the brainwashing.
