Uh.. it's GREAT news that not all LI's are perm. squadmates. It opens up your room for more squadmates AND LIs since he already hinted towards having new LIs.

BTW, I am the one who asked him that question.

I just explained it. It opens up your squad to have different people, to have different love interests (Possibly Joker. He's not going to be a squadmate but he is part of your team.), and to have more variety in your characters. Besides that, it means that we can have Thane on the ship, but not forced to be fighting all the time because of his sickness.

Explain to me how it isn't a good thing?

Yes let's add even more people and new LIs, that's going to be a good thing.

[cbutz]

Perhaps it will be as Jexx21 says, just because a LI is not a squadmate does not mean they won't be on the Normandy.

..uh.. it is? I doubt that it's going to harm the character's development. The amount of people on the ship probably wouldn't exceed the amount of people on the SR2 of ME2. The character's there turned out pretty well. The development time between ME2 and ME3 are pretty much the same as the time between ME1 and ME2, and they had a new engine to develop from scratch. This time they don't. They have more time and resources to focus on Character development, and more choices for squadmates and love interests is just a good thing.

I can't see how it's a bad thing, unless it's not done well. And besides's Garrus' calibrating problem (which all Characters on the ship suffered from unfortunately, just not in the same way) ME2's character development was great.

Oh hell no thats a bad idea . so you tell me its ok for Ashley and kaiden who are LI to be on the SR 2 but LI from ME 2 can't be on the squad spare me the crap . If they do that then they might as well get ready to hear and feel the rage from us ME 2 fans and ME 2 LI fans. Because its f**king bull sh*t that half the squad is made up of ME 1 .

Uh.. I think that all LIs will be on the Normandy SR2. I mean, they won't be on the squad permanently, but that doesn't mean that they can't be temporary squad members and then decide to help you on the Normandy. I actually think that Miranda will be on the squad, so it's nothing against Miranda or anybody from ME2. I love Thane's character, but I honestly do not think he is fit to be on the front lines all the time. Jack might be mentally unstable. Most people don't like Jacob.. I don't mind him, but I think that he might not be on the squad because of that. But he'll probably be on the Normandy as a person who helps Ashley/Kaiden with the upkeep of the guns if the VS takes over as Gunnery Chief again. If the VS takes over as XO, then Jacob will stay as Gunnery Chief. Of course, Jacob might be a squad member again too, who knows.

But please ExtremeOne, don't get so worked up. Casey Hudson has said long ago that nothing was confirmed untill the game comes out.

Somehow I find it would be fairly silly to put soldiers on your ship that you can't take on missions. I mean, some people like Mordin I understand, yeah. Primarily a scientist. But why would you take important people with abilities on a warship without planning to use them?

All of the ME2 crew were recruited for their ability to perform in a mission. Not abilities to dust the ship and keep her neat.

I personally don't care who is on the permanent team. But I kinda gotta assume anyone who isn't won't be on the Normandy, except possibly for short stints.

[Apollo Starflare]

I don't really have a problem with them writing in returning characters with a new romantic angle (c'moooon Kal Reeger and Shiala!) because Shep at least has a history with them. It would be harder to create a believable romance between Shepard and a completely new character however, unless it was purely based on lust/sex. Sure it's not implausible that Shep could meet the person of their dreams at any point, but I can't see it ever having the same depth as a romance built off past experiences shared and it would seem perhaps a bit sillier to be looking for someone new during the potential end of all civilised life in the Galaxy.

I don't think people should look at this as a bad thing though! If LotSB proved anything it's that BioWare can pull of romance in a less than full game scenario. Plus I doubt even those LIs who aren't perma squaddies will get relegated to one sequence, they will no doubt be a presence of some sort throughout the game, especially at the end. There will be resolution.

Meanwhile it means BioWare's hands aren't tied to filling the squad with the love interests. As it stood if they had every love interest as a perma squaddie it would have filled the squad (upto 9 in fact, the highest squad number most are willing to realistically predict). This way they can choose the perma squadmembers based on their relevance to the plot and whathaveyou rather than whether you get to have a sex scene with them.

Currently all the perma squaddies announced make sense as well if you ask me. Tali is the exception, I could have seen her being optional/temporary due to her involvement with the Flotilla plotline, but that wouldn't really fit if she was exiled so...

/endwaffle

Definitely predicting Grunt will be returning on a permanent basis now though.

Edit: I do agree with the poster above however, not sure they will just have LIs milling about the ship if they aren't fully recruitable, it makes zero sense (with the odd exception, and would Thane fans really just want to visit him on his deathbed throughout the game?)

Instead I expect those LIs who aren't fully recruitable will have other commitments, much like Ashley and Kaidan in ME2. However unlike Ash/Kai they won't get sidelined quite so much, what with BioWare having seen the backlash to the VS small involvement in ME2 and with this being the last game in the trilogy. Seems likely to me that the LI in question will play a much bigger role in their 'cameo' and return at other points in the game, even if it's just towards the end. Or maybe they stay on the hub world for ME3 (which we still don't know yet), cooirdinating efforts elsewhere.

More replay? Verrry interesting. We know there will probably be more endings than either of the previous two games, but that suggests something more to me. What could be more than NG+ and the choices system they currently have in play?

Fine with the length though, especially if the side missions prove more interesting on repeat playthroughs.

This is good. Hope the DLC will add good length too.

Ask if any of the ME2 exclusive squadmates will be permanent!
DO IT!

Casey has yet to answer any questions of mine...I even asked about Kirahe in ME3

Think about it for a moment.

Mordin is almost at the end of his life,  and joined only to save the galaxy before he moves to finish his life's work.
The Assassin is actively dieing and trying to make amends with his son.
Tali, Miranda,  and Jacob hate each other.
Jack and Miranda hate each other.
Though it's never outright said,  Jack must hate Jacob for the same reason she hates Miranda.
Zaeed was there only for money.
Grunt wants to be in a clan.
The Alarian is either there temporarily for the mission,  or a sci-fi vampire driven by bloodlust.

TBH,  putting these people on the same ship once stretches credibility.  Expecting them to stick around is ridiculous.  None of them except for Tali and Garrus are there because they want to be,  and most of them would rather kill each other. 

Contrast that to the ME crew,  who all volunteered.  So who's going to crew the ship?  A group of people who don't want to be on it and would rather kill each other,  or a group of people who volunteered?

[Apollo Starflare]

So far he is doing a great job of answering the sort of questions that arise after events like E3 that never get asked in interviews etc. yet aren't secret enough to be kept from the fanbase. I love twitter (and Casey obv) for making this possible.

@Gatt9: I think that is quite a one sided way of looking at some of those characters. And Tali didn't seem to really hate Miranda and Jacob - her main beef was with Legion. Also just because one character hates another one doesn't mean they won't sign up with Shepard? Most of them respect Shepard so much they would do almost anything for him/her, especially with the Galaxy at stake.

Jack for example put her feelings aside once already, and who knows maybe the decision of whether you recruit her or not comes at the expense of the ability to recruit Miranda?

Miranda seems disenchanted with Cerberus by the end of the game, she is a professional and would have no reason not to volunteer to be on the crew this time around.

Grunt considers Shepard his Battlemaster and is already a part of Clan Urdnot.

The Thane one makes sense and I doubt he will return permanently.

Jacob has no reason not to come back (although I kinda doubt he'll be back for other reasons).

Kasumi could go either way.

Samara grows to respect Shepard immensely and says she would work with them again if it came to it.

It makes sense for Mordin to go elsewhere, true.

Zaeed was certainly in it for the money primarily, but his respect for Shepard would mean there is no reason why he wouldn't sign on again in a heartbeat.

Legion, again, has respect for Shepard and strong desire to see the Reapers lose.

Underlining all that is the fact that the ME2 crew DID want to be there. Certainly as much as most of the ME1 crew. They signed on to complete the mission, for varying reasons sure, but all chose to do so. Doesn't matter if some were paid or not, and they all grew to respect Shepard as a commander. They have just as much reason to sign up in ME3 as any of the ME1 team do.
