In Mass Effect 3 there could be up to 15 squad mate characters returning from the previous games, if they were not already killed. I dont think ALL of them will be recruitable in the next game, even if we'd like them to be. Bioware will want to make room for new characters, right?
So, how do you think Bioware will do it? What do you predict these guys will be doing in ME3?
Wrex
Kaiden/Ashley
Tali
Garrus
Liara
Miranda
Jacob
Mordin
Grunt
Thane
Jack
Legion
Samara/Morinth
Kasumi
Zaeed
Here are my predictions:
Wrex He won't be a squad mate.
Kaiden/Ashley A likely squad mate in ME3
Tali A very likely squad mate in ME3 (since she is very popular)
Garrus A somewhat likely squad member in ME3
Liara A very likely squad member in ME3
Miranda A potential squad member in ME3
Jacob I doubt he will be a squad member in E3, just because players dont seem to like him enough.
Mordin might be aboard your ship, but not as a squad member. Since he is very old for a Salarian in ME2, maybe he will die between games or something though?
Grunt A likely squad mate in ME3.. You've gotta have a Krogan, right?
Thane Thane might die of his illness between
ME2 and ME3. That would be an easy way to write him out of the story. Since he is a LI, maybe he will stick around though.
Jack I'm not sure what to predict. I could see her being recruitable, or maybe starting a pirate gang or something.
Legion I predict he will be recruitable, or else there will be a very similar Geth character who you can recruit if he died. A "Legion 2.0" character could assure he was a squad member even if he already died in ME2.
Samara/Morinth In any ME2 play through, one of these two died, so I doubt they will be back unless it's just an email or side mission.
Kasumi she will not be back unless it's just an email or side mission.
Zaeed he will not be back unless it's just a side mission.
What do you all think?
Predict who will be squadmates in ME3?

Most likely to the point of certainty:
Liara
Ashley or Kaidan
Possible:
Wrex or Wreav
Remote chance:
Miranda
Legion
Everybody else is extremely unlikely, IMO.

i think that your squad will depend on whether or not you continue to work with Cerberus, and who you helped in both games. I'm also expecting Giana Parasini the Internal Affairs agent on Noveria from the first game, because if you helped her in both ME1 and ME2 she hints at a possible romance option in ME3.

My Magic 8 Ball is on the fritz, so I can't predict who will return as a squadmate. Stoopid Magic 8 Ball.

You think Tali and Garrus are extremely unlikely to return? That's a tough call, given how popular they are. I'd also bump Legion (or if not him another Geth squadmate) up there-I have a hunch that interacting with the Geth will be more important in ME2. I'm guessing half the squadmates will return and ME3 will have about the same number of squadmates as ME2. I can see reasons why some squadmates wouldn't return, but I would be pretty dumb if Bioware writes almost every squadmate off.
I can't picture Bioware pressing the reset button again and spacing Shepherd, and given how recruiting and earning the loyalty of your squad was such a large focus of the game, I'd imagine that they'd have the more popular chracters and/or the LIs return. For those that got most of their squad killed, there'll be 4 or 5 new people to recruit.
That's just what seems most likely to me-all I really want to return are Garrus and Legion. If I get those two I'll be happy.

ME 1 guys minus Wrex, ME 2 guys minus DLC characters. That's 13 possible suqadmembers, shouldn't be to much.
Somewhere it was stated that Liara, Ash and Kaidan are kept out of the ME 2 squad to prevent their deaths in the suicide mission, which hints at their return in vital positions. And the whole suicide mission would be pointless if the ME 2 squad doesn't return. It would make no sense for most characters to leave Shepard just before the Reapers arrive (except maybe for Thane and Mordin, who could just die. And Samara could have some Justicar stuff to do [besides, if we get Liara back, who needs 2 Asari adepts?]). So maybe 1 or 2 ME 2 squadmates leave the squad to make rooms for new characters with similar abilities.

Sure everyone will be back, but that does not mean they will be back as a squad member. And, since it is likely that they will bring back a few of the characters from ME1, and that there will be a few new characters, I dont think there will be 15 to 20 squad mates.

I was thinking that in order to accommodate all the characters as well as new ones, they could use a board / disembark method of bringing along the characters. That is, at any of the major planets / the Citadel, you can switch the characters into the 12 slots on board the ship.
For example, assuming you have a full complement, when you land at Omega, you can drop off Zaeed (or any of the characters recruited there) and then go to Illium and pick up Liara. And maybe even include a recruitment mission along.
For those whose recruiting centres have been destroyed or changed (as in the case for Jack and Grunt), then a place most appropriate like Omega for Jack or Tuchanka for Grunt can be designated.
This way, it will allow players to select their favourite ones along yet offer some variety in having the types of characters. Thoughts?

I like the sheer variety on offer with twelve party members to choose from, but given the choice, I'd cut the team down to eight, granted they significantly increase the amount of dialogue with each (by, say, twice as much). Some characters felt very underdeveloped in this game.
With Dragon Age 2's direction seemingly suggestive of Bioware not really giving a damn about fan sentiment/attachment to particular storylines or characters, I don't think all the "romanceable" characters returning (at least as usable characters) is a given at all.
So, keeping this in mind, I'd venture a guess and say that these will be back and recruitable -
Miranda (seemed pushed as an important character)
Jacob (for "diversity's" sake, if anything)
Garrus (continuity)
Tali (continuity)
Grunt (token krogan)
Legion (seems plot-tied)
Ashley/Kaidan (I think Bioware said a return was pretty much assured)

I just hope there are no more than 5 squadmates. Way too many squadmates in ME2, some of them totally useless, each had only 4 talents.
5 characters and 8 or 10 talents per character would be much better IMHO. Not to mention there would be more party banter and dialogue for each squadmate.

Everyone who was a squadmate in ME2 and survived the suicide mission will be in ME3. Probably Kaiden/Ashley will be back. I don't think Wrex will be playable because of Grunt plus he's busy down in Tuchanka. They'll probably add 1 or 2 new characters.

The quarian/geth conflict mentioned in ME1&2 will come to the climax in ME3, judging on how events have played out in previous ME games, and the fact that the geth were tied with Saren and the Reapers, and Legion's mention of the heretics, etc...it will be the conclusion of the conflict. Therefore, I think ME3 will have a quarian and geth on the crew. The Quarian will likely be Tali (if she's alive), or Kal'Reegar. He's a badass. If there is no Tali in ME3, all the people who are fans will likely riot in front of BioWare's headquarters. I want Veetor, but he barely handled the Collector attack on Freedom's Progress, no way in the world he can handle the Reapers.
Legion will be a squadmate, or some other non-heretic geth. Personality-wise, it won't matter, beause all the geth are linked.
I think Garrus will be back if he survived. He's been in two games, his fan base is high, and is very dedicated to Shepard. Besides Tali, he is ME's most popular character, judging by polls and the amount of people who don't want him to die.
I think the ME1 LI's will be back. BioWare promised. Isn't that why they were omitted from ME2 anyway, so they could be in ME3?
If BioWare listens to the feedback on this thread, then Jacob will be bye-bye in ME3. No squaddie.
Miranda is TIM's second in command, and assuming you took the renegade decision at the end, Shepard's still with Cerberus. She'll be in the game.
Thane dies. Either in the SM or in ME3. He might be a squaddie for a bit
I don't see now Samara/Morinth helps with the plot. They're just asari with nothing better to do than to help Shepard out of gratitude. I think Shepard will wish them goodbye in ME3.
Haven't downloaded Zaeed and Kasumi, but from what I hear, there is no substance to their characters outside of the loyalty missions. No proper dialogue, just comments about different stuff in their rooms. And considering they're DLC, they're not important to the story anyway. They won't be around.
I have a feeling that, along with the quarian/geth conflict, the krogan genophage issue will climax in ME3. Mordin will have a part to play, or some other salarian scientist will have to help resolve this issue.
Grunt: meh. Token krogan. Either him or Wrex. Wrex might be overthrown as a clan leader in ME3 because of radical ideas, which aren't popular with some. He might join the squad again. I could also see Grunt going back to Clan Urdnot full-time. Personally, I'm hoping for Wrex to return, because I loved all his wry comments. He might join Shepard again for one last fight or blast for glory.
Jack...that's tough. But if Samara goes, then I think she stays. ME needs a token biotic. But if she's dead, then a new biotic will probably replace her.

These are all assuming everybody survived the suicide mission...
Mordin: Either dead from age or moved on to another project. With the collectors defeated, his purpose is finished. Unlikely
Garrus: Pretty much gave up everything to follow Shepard. Very Likely
Miranda: Resigned from Cerberus if Paragon ending, with them anyway for Renegade ending. Might go to another cell. Possible
Jacob: Might also go to another Cerberus cell, but as a soldier, is likely to follow Shepard, yet unpopular. Unknown
Jack: Totally insane, anything is possible with her. Unknown
Grunt: Has a place in Clan Urdnot on Tuchanka. Probably go there to help Wrex and/or mate. Unlikely
Samara: Is a justicar, and her oath probably ends after the collectors are defeated. Needs to go root out other injustices, like Omega or Tuchanka as hinted. Unlikely
Morinth: If she wasn't chosen, it's likely she'll disappear to go kill, or will be put down by Cerberus because they don't want a liability. Unlikely
Thane: Dying, mending his relationship with his son. LI. Unknown
Tali: Depends. If acquitted, will most likely return to the migrant fleet unless LI. If exiled, has no one else to turn to but Shepard. If exonerated and father's name destroyed, will not be with Shepard. Unknown
Legion: Could go back to geth but is poster-boy for geth cause for peace with quarians. Likely
Zaeed/Kasumi: Since DLC, not everyone has them as squadmates. Hired guns for Cerberus against Collectors. Unlikely
Liara: After SB DLC, will only have a few loose ends then be ready to work for Shepard. Likely
Ashley/Kaidan: Loyal to Alliance, not Shepard. Perhaps made Spectre to keep tabs on Shepard? Unlikely
Wrex: Uniting the clans on Tuchanka. Is necessary there unless his method fails. Unlikely
Being an LI increases a character's chances of being a squadmate in ME3, or at least impacts their chances.
And to be honest, while I want a few old squadmates "just like old times," I want to see a new cast of new people with new powers and abilities.

Well let's just see:
Urdnot Wrex:I think he'll be back to help Shepard fight the Reapers with all the clans united as one big Krogan Army.
Ashley/Kaidan: They'll most definitley be in the game, because they were LI-s in ME1.
Garrus Vakarian: He is a LI in ME2 and one of the most badass charachters in the game so: Yes, he'll return.
Liara T'Soni: I'm pretty sure BioWare will bring her back too, because of the new DLC that's coming out.
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy:She was in ME1 and ME2 and a LI in ME2 so they'll definitely bring her back.
Dr. Mordin Solus: Probably not.I think he'll open a clinic somewhere , sit back, and enjoy his work
Jack/Subject Zero: I think she'll leave Shepard's squad and go on with her own life.
Miranda: Because she's with Cerberus, she'll probably stay
Jacob: Same as Miranda.
Grunt: He'll probably go back to Tuchanka , then come back with Wrex
Zaeed Massani: He's a mercenary, he does what he's paid to do...nothing more , nothing less, so unless Shepard pays him , he'll leave.
Kasumi Goto: I guess she'll leave...she's a theif...why would she stay with Shepard?
Thane Krios:He'll either die because of his "Kepral Syndrome", or get cured and move on with his life...well...he's retired...so he'll might as well go back to his son.
Samara: I think there is absolutely 0% chance for her to stay...the mission is done...she'll go back to serve the Code.
Urdnot Wrex:I think he'll be back to help Shepard fight the Reapers with all the clans united as one big Krogan Army.
Ashley/Kaidan: They'll most definitley be in the game, because they were LI-s in ME1.

Only one that's almost certain is Liara because she can't die in either game.
Bioware might be too lazy to make characters that died for some squadmates. That might means roles like Ashley/Kaidan in ME2 for everyone. I hope this is not the case.

While I like the idea of allowing almost everyone back I agree with another poster in that we'd be better off with 6-8 squadmates so you could have more interaction & interplay with each.
My guess is:
-- Tali [plot]
-- Legion [plot]
-- Garrus [continuity]
-- Ash / Kaiden
-- Liara
-- Your LI [if not already above] or Grunt [Token]
IIRC in a similar thread someone proposed having ME3 broken up into distinct acts where in some acts you interact a lot with certain squadmates alot and in other acts you tend to interact with other squadmates. If done well I think this could work.

Ashley/Kaidan
Liara
Aria (Given what happened in Retribution)
Legion 2.0
Wrex or some other Krogan
Hopefully a Batarian Squadmate
I honestly don't see ANY of the ME2 squad returning to be playable. Given how many have a chance to be killed off it just seems unlikely. I see them having a role similar to Wrex.
