Personally I completely disagree with this threads views,



I imagine all of the characters will be playable in the game depending on whose left. You have too all remember that this is the last game in the series therefore will likely be shorter dialog anyway with some minor character missions from the first ME.



In this case i envision missions based around:



Wrex/Grunt fighting on Tachunka and maybe curing the genophage permanently

Liara fighting against the shadow broker

Kaiden/Ashley some randon alliance mission



i also believe that earth will be invaded by the Reapers.

Wouldn't it be less work to not introduce too many new people in ME3 and mostly use people who have been established? So, 12 at most live through ME2, bring in the remaining 3 from ME1, that's 15, but then you take away some of the least likely to stay and you have about 10 squadmates left.
Does BioWare really want to keep introducing loads of new, important people during the finale of their sci-fi trilogy?

I completely agree, the cost of developing a whole new squad would be huge and wasteful - we have a good squad.  If people have decided to let some of them die - fine - you'll have a smaller squad.  Don't most people have a few playthroughs to carry forward anyway?.. I know I do

Thing is, if no ME2 squadmates will return, then the whole ME2 was pointless. After all, the whole game centered on gathering the squad, and there was very, very little accomplished aside that.

I agree, yes, ME2 was a pointless diversion.

Heh, I was VERY diverted by it. It gave us Thane. :wub::wub::lol:

I like the sqaud, both from ME and ME2, but I don't think they'll play an integral part of ME3 because:

1) Many of them have legitimate story reasons to be off doing other stuff (Tali might get made an Admiral, Samara goes back to being a Justicar, Thane is off dying, etc)

2) Bioware is unlikely to make a game where victory/an enjoyable playthrough is completely dependent upon having played the previous 2. Unless they want to make it default that certain squadmates survive the Suicide Mission, in a non-import game it probably defaults to them being dead (similar to how Wrex was treated).

So, even in the rather unlikely event that we get to keep our squads intact, there will likely still be some element of recruitment/getting new squad mates like Jacob and Miranda.

I think all squadmates that were potential love interests (that didn't die) will be returning. Everyone else probably will only be cameos.

I did find it very funny that ME3 would actually add not new squad members and those who got most of they squad members killed, have to deal with it.

You have a minimum of 4 (potential) returning squadmates left on a import save: Virmire Survivor + Liara (safe throughout ME2) and 2 ME2 squadmates surviving ME2, since you need two alive for Sheppard to survive. 

4 squadmates sounds like a decent minimum to operate with and since Bioware promised Dire Consquences regarding your success or lack of same, limiting your squad variety based on past performance seems reasonable. (big enough to make an impact, but not game-breaking)

The default would have selected squadmates living or dieing at Bioware's choice. (or, if they feel frisky, bast on random number generation)

[megatron999]

But do you really need 12 squadmates?

Some of them have, though not nearly all of them (Tali being an Admiral is doubtfull, though).
The DLC characters seem like the surest bet for leaving, though they've become popular.

They could leave the choice with the player. Allowing him to select four or six characters.
Regardless you are forgetting that no survivors means dead Shepard, which means invalid game. So a default would have to have people surviving. It cannot default to everyone dead.

No. It's why they only have four powers.

[epoch_]

They'll cut all the squad mates. Anyone that says otherwise is delusional.

[Onyx Jaguar]

Good, these squadmates have run their course anyway. I'd dig new ones.

[superimposed]

If Bioware to have any default survivors, it would most likely be Tali and Garrus. It is likely the designers would have an attatchment to characters that played heavy roles in the first two games.

However, for hilarity's sake, Jacob and Morinth should be the defaults.

[megatron999]

They could make it just continue on from ME2 and then have default settings (all squadmates survive/Cerberaus does not get station etc...) for any newplayers.



I think sheperd will rejoin the Alliance as well. So they could do it like his squad just disbands and goes off elsewhere except a few characters.
