to be clear im not saying the mass effect squads are found family they are still coworkers. it's just that the inquisition and veilguard teams are somehow even more coworkers
like try imagining the inquisition team in a citadel dlc-esque situation. simply not happening. trespasser is the closest equivalent and they still all hate each other in that one and your most competent advisor has a breakdown because you suck at your job so much
the mass effect team is a group of coworkers who for the most part enjoy meeting up at a pub and would be down to hang out outside of work. the dai team is a group of coworkers who only interact outside of work at their company mandated group-bonding pizza days and the entire time they keep unsubtly checking the clock to see if their hour of forced proximity is over with yet
