Yes, so that's why I tried to suggest an idea of how the "returning" characters could be given full stories and combat profiles. They could also just not make new characters, of course, but some players are as eager for a batarian squad member or something new for the sake of new, or b/c they lost everyone, as other players are for a fitting, well developed close to the story of the characters we've already met. If BW is trying to choose how to devote the budget, my suggestion was, if anyone is going to get stuck with a bit part, make it the inevitable new characters instead of the old ones.
making new squadmates would take alot more money then using the old characters, and not to mention if Bioware even tries to pull that ME3 sales will be very poor. Alot of ME fans will not buy ME3 if we get a new squad and ME2 gets crappy cameos. I sure as hell won't buy it, no matter how much the story rock or if the gameplay is epic. Bioware giving us a whole new squad is Bioware telling us that ME2 was a complete waste of time.
You did not read what Peppard said, kraidy1117. Made all the stranger in that it was the final sentence in his post, something I think would be more of an eye-catcher. Try again.
He isn't talking about giving Mass Effect 2 characters the shaft. He's talking about one way Bioware could work in new characters compared to the old ones. A proposal that in fact favors the latter.
No one wants new characters. Judging by the huge support threads, polls and the hostile that this guy is getting no one wants any. You might but alot of people don't. I as sure as hell don't If you lost people in ME2 it should bite you in the ass, if you just get a replacement, then the whole suicide was a gimick and a waste of time.
Who says they have to be replacements? You don't know how the squadmate dynamic will play out in the third game at all. The new characters could exist in roles that would have been there regardless of whether or not your entire crew from the second survived. Roles that are, quite possibly, bit parts, as Peppard put it. (However, it is just one idea in the sea of ideas floating around these forums.)
You're assuming quite a lot when you make statements like that. As are many others in this thread. While assuming how things will work because of what you see in front of you (Mass Effect 2) is never always a bad idea, it's also often misleading or deceiving. The entire crew could return just as you think...but it might do so in stages. Missions that aren't character-specific (assuming such missions existed) would still be there, but would require you to seek out temporary squadmates in order to complete them. If you lost your whole crew, these missions would still obviously exist. You catch my drift?
While I do not necessarily agree with the OP, do not be so quick to jump at everyone providing an idea in this thread. They are not all the same, nor do they necessarily give the same end result - no matter how much you see otherwise.
I believe the majority opinion is the more simpler wish that Bioware gives Mass Effect 2's characters major roles in the third game. Adding new characters does not have to contest this wish. Nor does it automatically mean rewarding players who killed everyone. You create a false dichotomy by insisting on making things black or white.
