I have an idea for a discussion:
What will happen if Shepard died and Jacob will become the new Shepard?
How would Jacob react to have to put up with all political bullsh*t that's normal for Shepard?
Will the crew follow Jacob?
(I got inspired by darkspawn chronicles)
Who leaves or stays really depends on when Shepard died, and what type of Shepard was Shepard.
We will set the timeline of Shepard's demise after ME 2. My Personal Shepard is dead, a heroic death of course, moving on...
Garrus and Jack were killed during the suicide mission (went on the suicide mission with only 5 loyal members because I listened to Jacob and went to get the IFF right away, Garrus died in the collector ship battle, Jack died holding the line, neither were loyal.) Thane was never recruited, so those three are out.
People who I think would stay if Jacob replaces me:
Samara- was my Personal Shepard's friend and teacher, she also takes a liking to Jacob due to his good and earnest spirit. I strongly believe she would honor Shepard's memory by staying with Jacob to help combat the Reaper threat.
Mordin- Don't really have a good reason why, but I have a feeling he would stay with Jacob.
Tali- Now Tali and Jacob didn't start on the best terms, but they were my Personal Shep's team, they would have gotten to know each other a little, Tali would realize that Jacob is a good person and not the monster she thought he was when she first boarded. Even with her little heartbroken, I strongly believe she too would stay to help out Jacob, even if it's just because that's what she thought that's what Shepard would want.
Legion- it is illogical to leave when the Old Machine threat is still at large, even if Shepard Commander is deceased.
People I think would leave if Jacob replaces me:
Zaheed- he's a Merc, with TIM super pissed off at me because I destroyed collector base and told him to **** off. I don't think Zaeed's bill would be paid for anymore.
Grunt- his battlemaster is dead, he has a clan to return to, screw the Normandy!
Kasumi- recruited her after our suicide mission (it was my first playthrough, and Kasumi DLC came out what, two months after release) so she has no real connection to the crew or cause, she'd jump boat I feel.
People I'm not sure about:
Miranda: I blew up the base and made an enemy of Cerberus, Jacob would agree that what I did was the right thing, but Miranda, not so much. I think Miranda would believe that Jacob isn't the right person to lead the Normandy, or the galaxy for that matter, and might run back to TIM and Cerberus. Or she might still have feelings for Jacob and stay with the Normandy, I don't quite know.
