I think it is safe to assume that new squad members will be available in ME3, no doubt to replace either dead squad mates [if you lost any] or to replace people who have gone off to do their own thing, which is more than likely.

Obviously some ME2 squad members will stick around, most probably Garrus, Tali and Grunt, among others. So who should replace those who are dead or who choose to leave? Hypothetical characters or people we have already met. I personally wouldn't mind recruiting captain Kirrahe.

Anderson or Sanders

[Elyvern]

Kirrahe can't be a squadmate. He can die on Virmire.

[Anglerfish]

Hmm, I suppose. I never let Kirrahe die, but it is doubtful that BioWare would give him anything more than another mention or a brief cameo.

I think captain Anderson will be made available as a squad member, which would be okay. I still wouldn't use the bugger simply because I find the aliens more interesting. And I doubt he'll be a more useful sniper than Legion or Garrus.

I doubt Wrex would be made available as a permanent squad member, but a single mission with him on the team would be cool [in the style of Lair of the Shadow Broker].

I would like to work with a member of the turian military [i.e. a good turian, unlike Garrus - someone who can give me more insight into turian culture] and I definitely want Kal'Reegar on my squad.

Refund guy.

[NamiraWilhelm]

Meeting other Spectres would be cool, but im not sure about there being other squadmates. Though i suppose we had the option of wiping out the whole crew on the suicide mission

This just in from Default Shepard of ME3!

Default Shepard: I'm very angry with Bioware that I have less max Squardmembers in ME3 just because I didn't play ME2! Didn't all the ME1 Squadmembers that could die only get cameo appearances in ME2 so that everyone was on equal ground? Than there's crazy blue chick who was in ME1 but wasen't officially in the oarty either. As well as the fact that everyone in ME2 could die for the import but Shepard, Joker, Edi, or 2 random squadmembers to haul Shepard up.

Dellusional Me2 Fan: I want my Squadmates back! For people that lost Squadmembers they should get less max Squadmembers in ME3 than me! LOL! Oh, and Default, aka new ME gamers, should be punished as well! ROFL! Oh, I know~! Add in new Squadmembers to replace the dead or the ones that left! Yeah, we should Bioware give them full voice acting from beginning to end along with my whole ME2 crew! Forget costs and space! ROFLOL!

@Elite Midget



I snorted. I like you.

[evolveNZ]

Imho, the simplest way to balance it for new and imported characters would be this:


- All old squadmates can be recruited, and a few new ones. You must select which of them to pick up.
- For an imported character, dead squadmates are dead (really?!) and can't be recruited.
- For a new character, there will be certain squadmates which survived (presumably the more 'important' ones).
   This would be similar to how some ME1 choices were predetermined for new ME2 characters.
- Your new team will have a limited number of slots, around 8. This means you can't recruit everyone, be selective.

This way, imported characters will have a couple of extra options compared to new characters... a nice bonus, while not handicapping new players. All potential squadmates should have a considerable amount of interaction, including dialogue and potentially missions, even if you don't recruit them for your team. For the main storyline missions, you're limited to the squadmates who you have specifically recruited.

I want Kaidan back, simply put, as eye candy and because when I finished playing through ME1 he was friggin awesome as a biotic soldier. I played ME1 as a vanguard this time around and he and my femShep were awesome together. Kaidan/Ash didn't die so bring them back to the game and make us crazy Kaidan/Ash fans happy for once. That is my peeve about Bioware. First, I'd say that it is genetically impossible for a human to mate with an alien (just an opionion from a science fiction author), second I'm a female who doesn't do females, and third Kaidan is cute as hell.  Oh back to my Bioware peeve, they take a good character from the first game and give them just a bit part in the second game.  I can understand if it's 10 or so years as in the KOTOR series, but two years.  Come on.  Garrus fans got Garrus back.  Now I do like Garrus (hate Tali) but Garrus is more for going out to the Dark Star and sloshing down a few with my femShep than a love interest.  I was not happy with the choices that Bioware gave for game 2 so it was quite easy to stick with Kaidan all the way through the game.

Edited to add:  I actually liked Ashley my second play through of ME1 and it sucked that she had to die on Virmire.  I think Bioware failed on that one.  My son doesn't want to face Virmire because he likes both Kaidan and Ash and he has to let one of them die.  BTW, he's 14 and is allowed to play mature games.  LOL, we always have something to talk about.

I think who ever hasn't played the 1st or 2nd game just to play the 3rd part of an Trilogie should be happy with what ever Bioware gives him. For the rest of us Lets see what Bioware has in Store for us. I trust them to make good calls on this Issue. And just so you guys get the picture of what "I" think Mass Effect 3 will be about i'll give you a short Headsup. Mass Effect 3 will be the "Endwars" every Organic life against an invading Fleet of Reapers who come to claim what is theirs to harvest. I think Mass Effect 3 will be mostly about uniting Humanity like Alliance and The Colonies in the Terminus for example. Maybe getting the Batatians to joint the Boat. If you freed the Rachnii Queen get those Bugs to join you. Not to mention Wrex and his efforts to unite The Krogans. All this and this i am sure of will come together to Forming an Army to Stand against the incomming Reapers. And For what i believe there are 2 main outcomes of Mass Effect 3. Either the Organics Fail and the Cycle begins anew or they break the Cycle and The Reapers are gone for good. The Good Ending in wich the Organics under Shepard win could be multiple endings like wich race got killed due to not beeing in Shepards Alliance. But and this is back to Topic i believe Bioware will let us keep most of our Mass Effect 2 Companions + some of the old we all missed in ME2 like Kaiden or Ashley + Additional Members from maybe the Rachnii we did or did not free, or Wrex and his Krogans or even other Specters. In the End we all have to wait for what Bioware decides what goes down and whats not. I trust them to make the right calls.

*** Lair of the Shadow Broker spoiler alert ***





Yagh squadmate! Having some big uber beast that can hurl metal desks around would be pretty badass. They're probably too big though. Hmm, Batarian and possibly Raloi squadmates? Those would be interesting.

I don't know. The game is a story-based trilogy. It's not a tacked on "evil corporation/zombies in a small town/corrupt government" plot that requires little exposition. Coming in on the finale of three games is pretty ballsy. It's not like cheap serial novels that start number in the dozens. It has a concrete beginning, middle, and end.



I just would hate it if the characters I grew to love from ME1 and ME2 are cut just to make things easier on people who are already going to have difficulty understanding the plot. I understand why they'd do that, but...I'm selfish. I want the game to pander to me dammit, forget altruism!

That's like saying I'll like the Ewoks more. There are old characters. We love them. Use them.



Okay, sure I might, but I don't really want to. Even if they're great and everything, I'll only spend one game with them. There's far more potential in the other squaddies, and I'd like for ME3 to make up for the lack of time we spent with the new cast.

[kalle90]

A man (Love interest)

A woman (Love interest)

A batarian (Human-batarian peace)

An elcor (Elcor diplomacy)

A vorcha (Survivalist)

*A hanar (Enkindler bringer-Thane army)

(* asari/krogan/turian/salarian/new race in case hanar is too redicilous)



That's 6 generic new ones and fills the race list.

Especially considering its the final act in the trilogy and thus the last time we'll ever get the opportunity to see our favourite squadmates.
Sure there will probably be other ME games but they'll be spinoffs with new characters.

Heh heh... "Obviously", is it?

How can Tali, Garrus, and Grunt be in my game, when they are dead?

Same could have been (and was) said before ME2.  /shrug

I bet LotSB showed a pretty good glimpse into where the characters are heading.  We already know that ME3 will be perfectly playable as a stand-alone experience.  BW has already said as much.  People who started the series with ME1, people who started the series with ME2, and folks starting the series with ME3 will all be put on even footing within the first 10 minutes of the game.  Bet on it.

Meaning if they are alive, of course. Of all the ones I think will stick around, Tali, Garrus, Grunt, and Miranda seem the most obvious. Jacob, too. I can see Mordin staying with you, but he dies so often in the game I don't think a default Shepard will have him alive. After that, only Thane and Jack are left of romancable characters, and it makes sense if they come back too.

No doubt they're all sitting in different worlds going "Hey Shepard, nice to see you. Now if you excuse me I have to calibrate this". And then we go pick the 6-16 new teammates

Bioware really shouldn't force the team on us. If it's my team I want to choose who's in it, and some of the survivors of ME2 clearly don't belong in it, while some ME1 members belong in it, perhaps I'd take a few new ones too.

Could Bioware really level the game for the ME3 newcomers with everything resetting in the first few minutes like in ME2. Aren't they in the potential buyer minority now?
