I like the idea of having say 30, just an example, with 15 slots...I dunno I feel like i'm more in control of who i'm relying instead of being told my line up for the final battle.

Well so far we have had 18 squadmates, and I could guess ME3 would have 7 new ones. That would make a nice 25 total options. Based on that I'd hope for up to 15 slots (I can pick less, but 2 is minimum). Though what really prevents me from having even 50 squadmates?

That's why I'd hope every character had 2 possible places to be (aside being dead): In my squad or having a role in the story (Tali helping out quarians, Mordin working on you-know-what experiments...). So if I recruit everyone then the chances of a success decrease (it should be clearly stated when you're recruiting them so players don't realize it too late). It would promote picking only the ones I really want and need in my team and add replayability to see how not recruiting people affects the game

The problem is that the ME3 newcomers must be able to complete the game so having the old people alive can't have too much consequence.

its a great idea but the variables involved is quite enormous!

Depends on how they do it, but in example above there would be only 2 (death could be 3rd or basically ignored) for each squadmate. They would be seperate from each other (though perhaps some inter-squadmate comments could make things feel more connected). It would still be 50 total variables, but IMO ME3 and its squadmates are worth the effort, especially if ME3 is going to have the 1000 variables we're being told it will have (assuming 900 aren't emails)

Sure Bioware could add even more complexity by ie. having reapers attack both Tali's and Mordin's location making you choose who you're going to help (unique missions you can't complete with same Shepard), but I don't expect that to happen

Aslong as the people who have actually spent the time and money buying first 2 games + DLC get a good bonus im happy i.e nice amounts of creds / minerals + maybe something different more intresting like armor or a weapon? or both! that would be pretty cool indeed. But until it's released who knows! gogo ME3

That wont be a difficult decision at all for most people

Good for you. Then decide:
Ashley or Wrex
Liara or Garrus
Thane or Samara
Legion or Grunt
...
...
Or possibly reapers attack with force and you decide:
Ashley/Kaidan or Liara or Wrex or Tali or Garrus
Anyone from ME2 or anyone else from ME2
(Meaning you only end up with 2 squadmates alive)

Sadistic enough?

[Felfenix]

I somehow doubt Bioware would put the effort into making 15 full party members who may or may not even be alive depending on the data.

[wroth emperor]

1 i think since i beat mass effect 2 with all 12 squad members alive when i play mass effect 3 i should be allow to use more than two when i go on missions.



for new squad members i think a vorcha would be cool. or adding in something new.



like since your fighting alot of reapers you could discover a prototype or something that you could activate(like legion) or program and it would join your team.

There gonna kill shepard off in 3 then bring him back so they can explain the lack of team mates carri... wait...

There gonna put shepard in jail at the start of me3, for working with Cerbs... because
1.The man put him there after he Blew up the so and so and he ran a smear campaign agasint shepard.(read your dlc emails)
2.He got put there because he worked for the man...and got caught by Hackket.(read your dlc emails...)

Grunt will break him out.. killing lots of alliance soldiers in the process
Then you will meet up with your love intrest and it will go like this.

Shepard where have you been.. its been 6 months.....
Ahh I was in Jail?
Shepard you call that an excuse?
Well yeah...I didnt have a choice.
Shepard in 6 months people change.. can we really go back to how we were.
Paragon choice chance blue icon.

Welcome to the first 10 mins of mass effect 3.

Due to your imprisonment and bad prison food you will have also magicaly reverted to level 4.
Them alliance soldiers will also be working for Cerbs... or reaper controled.. so while you did kill little timmys dad... he was evil so its ok.

soo, has anyone of you watched Andromeda series? remember the ship A.I. being built into a supersexy female android?

well, that kind of a squadmate would be just ideal for ME3. we've already got EDI flirting with joker and discovering "her" new and improved conciousness. now imagine all the new possibilities by giving EDI some sort of a human-like interactive interface - an adroid body. great dialogue possibilities, room for some really cool animations(body parts transforming into weapons, direct connections to mechanical devices etc), a bit more interesting skills like suppressive fire with said transforming weapons, projected kinitic shields around the android body, maybe some melee fight options, leaping attacks and some more outrageous stuff. having several various and unique upgrade options for the android body would be really cool too.

there even could be some deeper love story between joker and EDI, basically handling the idea of VI-human relationship and some sort of a EDI-geth-reaper ideology triangle, bringing them in contrast to each other: EDI being "part of the family", "homegrown" and "one" A.I. ; geth being very independant multiple beings following their own evolution and reapers being, well, reapers :-)

imo an EDI Android would be an awesome addition if done right.

do it, bioware!

Paul Grayson would be a cool squad-mate provided he's still alive at the end of retribution (only started reading, don't spoil!).

Anderson or Sanders

These guys would be cool to have. Anderson atleast.

Also Liara have to be a squadmate or I'll nuke the entire world from orbit.
Beyond that, i don't really care too much who's in our party as long as it isn't more than 8 people (dlc included)
The fewer people we got, the better characters we get. (and interaction with, and between them.)

Well finish reading quickly then because whatever Pauls fate may or may not be, will surely come up in this thread...

The worst thing is, I don't think this is as far fetched as we'd like to believe...

[Whatever42]

I suspect there will be a couple new crewmates but they won't be anyone we know. Completely new people for us to learn about.



I also think they'll bring back most of the ME2 squad. But what about people that didn't play ME2? Well, considering I bet 95% of the ME3 buyers will have played ME2, do you pander to the small minority who won't pick up ME2 or enrich the continuity and experience for the vast majority, who may be convinced to buy your next series of games?

[Terror_K]

I'm guessing we'll get:-

- Kaidan or Ashley
- A few ME2 suvivors
- A batarian
- At least one character who we've met but wasn't a squaddie.
- Not Liara. Not after LotSB.

And I'm hoping we get:-

- Shiala
- Kahlee Sanders (if not, we should at least get to finally meet her).
- Kal'Reegar
- Tali, Garrus, Legion and Mordin

[uzivatel]

I expect:

Old:
- Ashley or Kaiden
- Garrus
- Jacob
- Miranda
- Tali

Maybe:
- Grunt
- Legion (or another similar mobile platform) - pre-order bonus

New:
- someone we have met / was mentioned in the game
- someone from the books
- batarian
- new alien (who happens to be the only member of his/her species in the game)
- one character who dies in the prologue
- few other character (I dont expect te total number to be less than ME2)

I hope BioWare surprises me with some thing unexpected.

[Saberchic]

I've been thinking about this. I think some of the sqaddies from ME2 will leave: Zaeed, Jack, Kasumi, and Samara (possibly Miranda if you quit Cerberus, and I don't know if Jacob would stay or bail). Thane may or may not still be around, depending on the progression of his illness and how much time passes between games.

I think the old LIs won't be a part of the crew but integrated into mission-givers (unless it's Garrus or Tali, if they bring them back for ME3--counting on if they even survived in the player's game). So, people will still be able to meet up with them during their campgains and interact with them.

I just think having the possibility of having EVERYONE from ME1 and ME2 is just too much. I felt like the amount of people we had for ME2 was crazy.

My abhorance of the amount of peeps aside ....

I'm looking forward to seeing a couple of new squaddies for ME3. I'd like some fresh blood/new faces in there as well as some familiar ones. 

[JG The Gamer]

Why do these ALWAYS have to be in the non-spoiler thread... makes it hard to elaborate...



So, new characters for ME3. Let's see:



One
based on Paragon/Renegade scores. If you have a high Paragon score, you
can a peace loving batarian. High Renegade score earns you Balak.



A Prothean. One found in cryo-stasis. The sole survivor.

Wrex or Wreav.

Reegar

Koylat Krios

Kaidan/Ashley

Aria T'Loak

[AndrahilAdrian]

the 9 love interests (garrus, jacob, thane, kaiden, liara, ash, miranda, tali, and jack), legion, and mordin will be there. Wrex maybe. Others, probably not. I really hope they don't add many new people (by the third act we should know all major characters), but they probably will for marketing purposes.

[Raokin]

I don't see how Liara can be a squadmate in ME3 after LotSB. It seems far more likely that she'll serve an important role in the game as an NPC with a similar function to the Illusive Man or the Council, which I should think would make her fans happy.

Modifié par Raokin, 16 octobre 2010 - 12:57 .

[Gaz_313]

I'd like to see all surviving characters return. I like the idea of being able to choose your own squad too.



***LAIR OF THE SHADOW BROKER SPOILER***



Now that Liara is the Shadow Broker and she has control of that ship, I think it would be cool to use that as a base of operations. As the Shadow Broker I don't think Liara will be able to go with you as a normal squad member, but could work together with Shepard on whatever missions ME3 has. Any squad members you don't want to take with you on the Normandy, stay with Liara on the Broker's ship to work wither her and you can visit anytime to interchange squad mates. I think that would be a cool way to keep old characters and introduce new ones, whoever you don't want stays with Liara. Also works for those who gave the Illusive man and Cerberus the brush off, work with Liara to get all your information and resources.



But that's just me, I trust whatever Bioware does. ME3 will be awesome.

[DCYNIGR8]

On the official ME2 website, there are still 2 'classified' squad bios yet to be named. Introducing new or old squad mates as part of one of the 'bridging' DLC perhaps?

Things don't have to stay that way through the entire game.

True it doesn't give much hope though. No matter how hard I tried to convince her to come with me no luck. I think Bioware will continue that policy with the other squadmates

[Wittand25]

It is safe to assume that the LIs will return, and that you will have a scene where you can promise them to be together once the reaper problem is solved. But considering that all but Liara could be dead, and Liara has better and more important things to do than standing around the Normandy or run around looking at Shepard´s ass I don´t think that any LI, or even any squadmate from ME1/ME2 will return ass squadmate.
And frankly I would prefer it if the VS, Liara and the ME2 crew get turned into NPCs because that way they can have more important things to do than cleaning the ship´s engines, etc. This way the survival of companions also can have a bigger impact on the story, without crippling the game for new players and players with a non perfect import.

The classified companions on the game page are, I believe,  Archangel and Many-as-one, I can´t be clearer because this is the non-spoiler forum.

That would make sense, didn't think of that.

Oh well. I'd like to see surviving characters from ME and ME2 to be squadmates in ME3, with new members where applicable. I wouldn't want to have a whole new squad with older members going off and doing their own thing. Hopefully the story picks up right where ME2 ends and if needed you can recruit new squad members from there. I'd like to see the love interests return too, properly this time not as a cameo 2 minute apperance.

Not sure how the story/characters will work being as there are so many variables but I am confident whatever Bioware do will be great.

If all characters don't make a returning full squad roll....



...I like the idea / concept of characters making cameo appearances depending on your treatment / loyalty results.

For example, if you say helped a certain character take out their arch-nemesis they make an appearance breaking the lines when you and your squad are pinned down in a rough situation. Or maybe, an entire faction is no longer fighting against you...

If you didn't, then maybe they hate you and want nothing to do with you, or maybe you even turned around their views / opinions and they want to help out however they can.



Or say if you didn't take advantage of someones early 'advances' they stick around offering non-controllable support in certain situations.



Basically, I don't just want a squad to be there for the sake of needing a squad. I want my choices from previous games to affect their role in more than alive / dead ways.



But then again, by now BioWare should know I want everything and then some.
