miranda, garrus, tali, well actually those three are the ones i can easily see being deeply invested into the story.
Except they are dead.
yes, if they die they shoud have a significant negative effect on the story.
you know. CONSEQUENCES lol.
if miranda is dead she can't help you hold off cerberus / deal with TIM. can't provide info and resources and connections throughout the galaxy.
if tali is dead you lose your abilities to sway the quarians and you lose the backing of the migrant fleet.
if garrus is dead then you dont have your buddy and shepard is depressed the whole game.
you know, stuff like that. consequences. your choices effecting the story. if you got the important people killed you should be in trouble for that.
But then that would defeat the purpose of "creating your own story" if you're going to strong arm the player into playing a certain way. 
what do you mean? are you saying your actions shouldnt have consquences? that all the ME2 characters should have no impact on the ME3 story because someone missed out? that defeats the whole point of making choices.
i mean if you make all bad choices, get everyone kill, and then everyone still helps you anyways wouldnt that be kinda, well dumb?
wouldnt it be better if how strong your army was and how successful you are against the reapers is directly effected by how you played the games? what choices you made, how successful your suicide mission was, how loyal your team was. all of those shoudl be actual factors in the game.
they shouldnt wipe the slate clean, give us a new team of people who couldnt have died yet and make all our choices meaningless because someone MIGHT have made a mistake. make that mistake count for something/ personally i want the fact i lost mordin to matter in my save.
it'd make the game stronger, and as a result make ME2 stronger as well, because people would go back to ME2 to replay it in different ways for importing to see how it turns out. like miranda being my go to example, i can easily see her being extremely useful storywise in ME3, if she's dead what happens? well maybe i'd go back to ME2 and kill her off to see how it plays out differently and when things do change because of that then it'd be wonderful.
i dunno how anyone can think thats a bad thing.
