From what I heard, they're not touching the game engine. So basically, they'll have 2-3 years of nothing but level design and voice acting (and maybe a little bit of tweaking). And that's definitely not a bad thing. Plus, it's the end of the series, so they can go wild without worrying about the consequences. ME3 is going to be a good game...

I seem to remember most people thinking Tali wasn't a romance option and look how that turned out.

Do you really think Bioware will reduce practically all the character's roles in ME3 just because Wrex, Tali, Garrus, and everybody else can die?

What I meant by throwing around VA is that it wouldn't be cost benificial because at first they'd have to bring back all the other ones in some sort of capacity. It would be most effective if they were given major roles because if they weren't they would have to hire new VA's on top of that and that would not be cost effective.
Ahh then yes I misread and fully agree, I mean yes people will have to accept that losing a character will kill some story but they could easily do it like loyalty mission, Any major missions can be filled by anyone who fit the roll needed.
Example you need an engineer or Tech type to hack a device to find reapers per say who can fill this roll: Tali, Legion, Kasumi, Miranda, Kaiden ((I think he was engineer and biotic can't remember to well)) Basically anyone who has a engineering tree can fill this roll.
Now how do you keep things deep? Loyalty mission idea if said character gone ya you lose a chunk of story but that was your decision to let them die and must live with it were people who let them live get a nice deep side story done viea loyalty style.
That basically how it have to work it mean a little extra VA and programming work but it very possible.

It cost allot more money to do a fully Voiced MMO which might I add they are doing.

I think you are vastly underestimating the amount of work required to pull this off. VA is part of the cost, but you also have animating, scripting, writing, testing, etc, all of which I would assume increase exponentially with each new variable put into the game. I don't think Bioware will want to invest those types of resources into content that only part of the player base will experience. In short, I'd expect a lot of cameos, but probably not too many returning party members from either game.

On the other had, BW set the default game in ME2 in a way that eliminated all the encounters with Urd Wrex, Gianni, the lab Asari, Conrad V, Rachni Errand girl, and Shiala. Now, if what you're saying is true, why wouldn't they set the default game (which players new to the series would use), so that more players see that stuff? On the one hand, you can say, "oh a new player wouldn't get who these random people are", but really, that goes for Anderson, Liara, Ash/Kaidan too.
BW doesn't JUST think about creating content that can be seen by the most number of players.They also want to "reward" repeat players and create replay value. They may still go the cameo route of course, because it seems to me that sometimes they plan a lot of things and just run out of time to do everything.

Bioware's revenue from ME2 was mostly from those who originally played ME1.

Possibly. It's a disk space issue.

Other than novelty value, I would assume that the vast majority would play characters in which their entire team survived (or few died). It wasn't as if it was difficult to work out who to send where.

I agree that Bioware has demonstrated that they are willing to place a limited amount of content into the game that not all players will experience, but when it comes to the real 'meat and potatoes' (party members, main quests, LIs, etc.) There tends to be much less variability and few, if any circumstances that would exclude new players from experiencing each of them in full.
