I hope there are going to be some, because I lost 7 out of 9 squadmates in my playthrough.

I also gave Legion to Cerberus, which I REALLY regret.

Also, do you think there are going to be new love interests in ME3 that we've never even met before?

[Collider]

1. I wouldn't be surprised if there were new squad mates.
2. I wouldn't be surprised if there were no love interests.

However, I prefer if most of the squad mates in ME3 were from ME1 and ME2.
As for new romances, I would prefer no new romances.

And that, children, is why God created replays.

But seriously:

1. There may be one or two new characters, but I'm not counting on it.
2. I highly doubt there'll be new love interests. I think the ones from previous ME's will deepen, sort of like they did between Baldur's Gate II and Throne of Bhaal.

Did you do that on purpose?

I simply can't fathom anyone being so completely awful at games that they'd lose so many characters on the so-called "suicide" mission. I mean you practically have to go out of your way to intentionally make poor decisions to kill that many of your crew.

I did do that on purpose, actually. For a YouTube video I created:

[marshalleck]

Phew. My world was about to be crushed.

Anyways, I am anticipating a handful of new characters in ME3. I'm not even going to try to guess what they intend for the ME1/2 characters. There's plenty of evidence to argue the entire previous cast of characters could either return or get cameos.

So, about the possible new squadmates:

I hope for a female krogan, female turian, and/or male quarian.

[Gentleman Moogle]

Much as I don't want to see the old crew leave, I have to admit I'd love to get Kal'Reega on my squad.

Dude has balls of steel.

[alexa_025]

^Kal'Reegar. But yeah, I like the guy. "The geth might get me, but I'm not gonna die from an infection in the middle of the battle. That's just insulting!" Adam Baldwin for the win! (love him in Chuck btw).

OP - They might, though I kinda hope they don't add any more LIs.

I hope you're right

Also, the option to replace Tali with Kal'Reegar would be very welcome.

When I read the "7 out of 9" part of  your post, I read "7 of 9" and this popped into my head




And then I realized just how much of a nerd I am

Remember that ME3 suppose to be playable even if you didn't play the previus games. for a new player there's no point "deepening" the relationship with charecters he never met before... so there will probably be new love interest on top of the old ones, and definintely new squadies to fill the ranks...

This.  I'll admit that I got into Bioware with DAO, and then ended up playing ME2 before ME1, and the game still made sense to me without playing the first game.

[PHub88]

Obviously there will be SOME new squadmates...I just hope they dont go out of there way like in ME2 to create new squadmates just for the sake of them being NEW...

I think its pretty much a done deal the guy in the Teaser will end up on our squad...

[SuiteAces]

There seem to be a lot of people on here hoping that Kai Leng will be a squaddie. My paragon "loves aliens" Shep would kill him where he stands, before he even sets foot on the Normandy. But my Renegade arse "alien hatin' Cerberus lovin'"Shep would probably buy the guy a beer.

[Piecake]

I want a Volus in my squad

I AM A BIOTIC GOD!

[Aradace]

There's going to be new squaddies for ME3, case closed. Why? Because BW isnt going to punish folks for either "accidentally" or, in mine and a few other's cases "deliberately" losing the maximum amount of squadmates you can lose in order to survive. Or, as I like to call it, my "Bloodbath" run. If they start "punishing" players for doing something like this, what's next? "What's that? You chose the renegade option for this convo? Opps!! Sorry!! You died!! Reload last save"

Or better yet; "What's that? In the very first convo during the beginning of the game you chose the renegade option? Ooops!! Sorry!!! That means the Reapers win and everyone dies so you just ran through the game for nothing!!! Reload last save and try again!!! Wait, you cant, because you saved just before the final battle!! Sucks to be you!!!!!"

And because they wont do that, because they "wont" punish us in a manner like that, that is why we will definately have new squadmates for ME3.

[Eric243]

2 come to mind that could be new squadmates, Aria Talok, and Praetor Gavorn. And maybe Bailey from C-Spec.

[AdmiralCheez]

I'm willing to bet that most of the ME3 squad will be ME1/2 veterans, with quite a few of them present in the "default" save. New characters go without saying, just because Bioware's too good at coming up with an awesome cast not to, plus ye olde squad-nukers need a balanced crew, at least.

New LIs? At least two. For teh n00bs.

I'm hoping for a batarian, a fem-turian, Big Ben, and a salarian Spectre. As squadmates. Well, maybe LIs, too.

And no, I really don't think including the old cast (at least partially) should be considered "punishment" because, frankly, wrecking your new car and demanding Daddy give you a new one shows a special degree of stupid. Most squad-nukers either did it for the challenge or because they didn't want [Squadmate] to make an appearance in ME3.

Were it something other than a video game I'd agree.  However, it's like comparing apples to oranges.  With the car analogy, you're expecting to "drive" a certain way and obey the rules.  But in a video game, it' would be translated as "punishing" the players for playing a certain way.  If they didnt want the possibility of people deliberating "nuking" their squad, they shouldnt have made it a possibility for folks to do.  In a video game, telling the players they have to play one specific way is a really quick way to lose fan base.  Hell, in that regard, if that is the case, why not just take the Renegade options out entirely?  Here you go, this is ME3, where you can ONLY play as a Paragon and/or ONLY be part of the Alliance. 

When away from my games, I obey by the rules and laws for the most part simply because prison simply doesnt seem that appealing to me.  But when Im playing a video game, I shouldnt be expected to abide by said same rules/laws.

[AdmiralCheez]

You missed the point, Aradace: If you are losing so many squadmates that it hinders your team's balance, you are doing it wrong. Dropping more than, say, four of them requires intentionally skipping content and making bad decisions. In other words, you are playing the game in a way it clearly wasn't meant to be played.

I am not against a handful of new characters to cover all your bases, for yes, even people who screw themselves over on purpose should still be able to play and enjoy ME3. However, I do not think that the vast majority of players should be denied reward for playing the game properly, nor should new players be cheated out of such a wonderful cast in its entirety.

You are asking Bioware to screw everyone else over just because you happened to screw yourself over.  That's not fair.  Giving people the content they worked for--entirely optional content if you happen to own ME2--is.  As for new players, they'd get a nice balance, not so little that they're cheated and not so much that they're completely lost in a sea of "old friends."  Enough to pique their interest in the old games, oh ho ho, how clever of you, Bioware...

The only squadmates that I even care about are Tali and Garrus. And maybe Legion and Thane.

A Hanar squadmate would be cool, but how would he shoot guns?

Nah, Im not asking for anything.  In fact, I only have one data file set aside as a bloodbath run due in part that part of me DOES expect BW to "punish us" in some way for playing in that manner.  In my "normal" runs that I have set up, I have one, maybe two squaddies at "Best" who are dead "deliberately" and then data files set aside where everyone survives.  Maybe Im not using "punishment" in the right context so let me try and explain it this way:

If I choose to, as you say "squad nuke" everyone in my one data file I have set aside for that.  I dont think BW, in ME3, should "punish" people to the degree that basically makes it so that you cannot achieve your overall goal because they chose to do so.  Sure, "punish" me to the degree of giving me some "generic" type squad members for that data file or what not.  But dont "punish" me to the degree that say the reapers automatically win because I chose to nuke my entire squad on that one data file.  Hope that made it somewhat clearer lol.

[nevar00]

I expect the VS will return. We'll probably also get a Raloi, as I highly doubt they were introduced for nothing. I'm expecting a Batarian too, and probably something else so you can have the minimum of 6 squadmates. Probably 2 new LI's too, for the people who just start playing ME 3.

But I hope for the most part, the ME 2 squad returns.

[AdmiralCheez]

@Aradace: Oh, no no no, I absolutely believe that ME3 should be completely winnable no matter what you did in the first two games; your previous actions should simply determine what resources you have available. Which is why I think new characters--at least a small handful--are a necessity.

I think I misunderstood your position--I thought you were one of those "the old crew isn't coming back again except as cameos" folks. Sorry.

I am also against generic replacements, BTW--it's better to have a virtually empty Normandy than one full of Wreavs.
