** Correction: Three (or four in ''[[Dragon Age]]'') save the galaxy/world, the rest patiently slack in the base.
*** There are some all-out NPC battles in Dragon Age, and the NPC character types still (partially) fit. Alistair is, arguably, [[The Hero]] who makes the [[Heroic Sacrifice]] {{spoiler|either by giving his life to kill the archedemon, or giving up his freedom to become king}}, The Lancer is [[Token Evil Teammate]] Morrigan, Sten is [[The Stoic]] and thus, also, [[The Quiet One]] who is also a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], Zevran is the (semi) [[Reluctant Warrior]] and [[Lovable Traitor]] who joins you after you defeat his band of assasin [[Tricksters]], Wynne is [[The Obi-Wan]], Leliana is [[Naive Newcomer]] {{spoiler|so she says}} who likes to [[Pet the Dog]], and Oghren is the [[Boisterous Bruiser]] [[Comic Relief]]. Shale shares the [[Deadpan Snarker]] with Morrigan, [[The Big Guy]] with Sten, and proves to be a very sardonic [[Comic Relief]] alternative to Oghren.

*** The bulk of ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is basically assembling an entire 10-person team (12 with the [[Downloadable Content|DLC]]) ''Magnificent Seven''-style, with the added wrinkle of getting said team loyal to you and upgrading your ship and weapons before the main mission of going through the Omega-4 Relay. Though it ''is'' possible for people to die during the Suicide Mission, your primary goal is to take out the Collector base and bring everyone back alive.
