A lot of people were upset that Liara wasn't  part of your squad in ME2. Yet we later got LOTSB in where she's a squady for that mission.

Let's say someone like Mordin wasn't a squadmate in ME3. Would a DLC mission with him compensate? True there's a chance someone like Mordin would be dead, but I'm sure Bioware would compensate for thoes of us who had that particular character killed placed with someone else. Like how you get Wearv if you killed Wrex.

Well, one of Christina Norman's tweets said we shouldn't expect something like ME2/3 squaddies or something to that effect, making me think there will be similar things as LotSB. Or maybe she meant something completely different, who knows.

Depends on the character the SB moment won't work for all of them nor should it be made to. It was a deep and meaningful moment in the series. I could imagine Kasumi, Thane, Tali, Garrus, doing this but I for one not only want but need Tali and Garrus as FT crewmen on my ship that I would be upset over this with them in the sense that I wouldn't be able to have them by myside all the time in game.

It worked really well with Liara she has a huge roll she is the first line of defense and could also be the last if we lose the game her pivotal role in 3 can't be understated and only I trust her to do this not Feron.

Tali as an admiral to me doesn't have that impact that the SB position has and Tali is a terrible leader she was born to be a follower. Garrus is the same way he'd make a bad spector but a great follower he can run his own small group to a point but he needs boundaries set up. Team dextro only works when they're together not apart!

Depends on the squadmate. Certain squad mates just belong on Shepard squad whereas others never really felt like they would truly follow Shepard any and everywhere, they were just along for the ride ( because there was somthing in it for them ) or because Cerebus hired them.

As much as I like LOTSB I also think it is highly over rated and I don't get why everyone thinks so highly of it, maybe it's because I don't have an emotional connection to Liara at all so I had no emotional investment in her story. Maybe I would have cared about her more if she wasn't so poorly written on Illium and had more of a role in ME2 than just an hour's ( maybe less ) worth of gameplay.

[zico291]

Yeah, it would be nice to have something like LOTSB. I thought it worked really well.

[Shepard's_Fist]

Absolutely I would accept something like that. Yes in a perfect world I would love to pick and choose from squadmates in ME1 & 2 to be on my squad but I understand this may not be feasible. If however I get a LOTSB esque mission for characters that may not be permanent I'll be more than satisfied.

Can you imagine the Liara-Shepard banter from LOTSB except with Wrex? Oh the awesomeness that would ensue!

[Labrev]

Sure. But for Jack I need much more than just 1 mission.

If they had the quality of LotSB for each of the non-permanent squaddies, I would be down for that.

Jack is a lost cause, I'm afraid. She didn't receive as much praise and fanbase as fan favorites. I will be highly surprised if she gets more than a few lines of dialogue if you romanced her in ME2 and a few cameos. But, since she is the most powerful human biotic, I can be wrong.

I would love to play a few LotSB-like missions, focused on one of the chcaracters each. It won't replace having someone as a permament squadmate to full extent, but still.

I can't figure out why all of the possible ME1 cast are going to be squadmates in ME3, but Wrex is not (at least for the moment). Wrex-LotSB? Sure, hell yeah, but theres NO reason for Wrex not to appear as a squadmate.

[V-rex]

I heard that they were doing something like that for Wrex.
In theory it might be cool, but given that there are in total eleven characters that won't be on the team:

Wrex, Jack, Thane, Legion, Samara, Miranda, Jacob, Kasumi, Mordin, Grunt and Zaeed.

Even giving each indivdual ONE mission where they are a temporary squadmate would feel a little crowded. And not give much time to Ashley, Garrus, Liara, James and Tali who are supposed to be the important team now.

But still, I'd be ready to settle. But these moments had better be AWESOME.. and for romanceables, emotional. Bioware have a lot on their plate, let me tell you I'm glad I'm not in their shoes.

My thoughts exactly, anything matching the level of excitement I had during that would be great.  

[mineralica]

I'd be happy even if they appear as connected to specific quest lines (Legion to Geth, Wrex and Mordin to Genophage, etc.). Something like LotSB? Let's count. LotSB was about 2.5 hours length, as I recall. 6 squaddies in ME1 minus VV plus 10 from ME2 plus Morinth gives us 16 squaddies; also it was told there'll be less than 12 squaddies in ME3 - so for now I'll say it'll be all LIs plus Vega plus someone else = 10. So, 16 chars minus 8 LIs gives us 8 unused chars; give every of them mission of 2.5 hours length and we'll get 20 hours. Time consuming and absolutely unjustified if not connected to main plot.

[Alamar2078]

With the exception of just a few squaddies I was only expecting a few missions or an Act with them. If we get something like LotSB for the non permanent squaddies [or an Act] then I'd be fine.

[Praetor Knight]

Hmm... well, IMHO, I don't need every former companion to return as a permanent one in ME3. And I plan to use my saves where all survived ME2 as my canon run for ME3.

So as much as I like Wrex, Garrus, Mordin and Liara, in particular, I hope that they are not permanent companions.

I think that with what they can do, they should be taking care of business on their own, not in Shepard's Shadow. But I can see Garrus and Mordin staying on the Normandy, Garrus commanding his own two-man squad and Mordin remaining as the Chief Science Officer.

Then Kasumi is a toss-up with that data she has, but her skills seem more suited working solo, like Thane anyway, so I can seem them working with Liara, to help Shepard in her role established in ME2.

If Miranda stays with Shep, I think her role is best served as XO on the Normandy, keeping contact with any away teams and feeding Shep Intel from Cerberus contacts, Hackett, Anderson and Liara.

Also I figure that Tali and Legion would bridge the gap between the Geth and Quarians, so I hope they don't remain permanently glued to Shep's side either.

Then Ash/Kaidan I can see as a temp squad companion, but I hope that the time spent away from Shepard allows them to work outside of Shep's shadow in ME3.

So there are only a handful of former companions that I would think are appropriate to return as purely subordinate companions again.

Jacob is a professional, and I figure he can remain a permanent companion, but he too can be at least a squad leader like Garrus. I can imagine Shep commanding Alpha Team, Garrus commanding Bravo Team and Jacob commanding Charlie Team on missions. Since we are supposed to fighting a war in ME3 I can hope that the scale of combat increases. Who wouldn't want to hear Garrus say scoped and dropped from a Gunship!

Grunt seems like he can return as a permanent companion, especially since he views Shepard as his Battlemaster.

I figure that Zaeed will have an interest in fighting along side Shepard, if Vido is dead, so I can see him as a conditional returning companion.

Samara is another I figure as a conditional returning companion with Morinth dead and Shep being Paragon.

And maybe Jack could easily stick with Shepard. But possibly depending on her relationship (romance being only one facet of that relationship) with Shep, and how her loyalty mission was used to help her get a grip on her memories of her youth.

So in general, I don't think that Romantic Relationships will keep all of those companions that could be romanced, glued to Shepard. At least I hope not and that seems a bit silly to me IMHO if it did happen.

Then potentially adding that Vega dude there seems to be plenty of options for companions for Shepard in ME3.

I just hope that Shepard's former companions simply continue growing as individuals, and improving the story for ME3!

Nothing wrong with having a LI or favourite squaddie as a permanent 'interactible' contact somewhere. Liara after LotSB is a good model for this - aside from the fact that you can't do anything with her, which is a real shame. Adding some generic banter and a bit more content to such characters (imagine taking ME1's dancing at Flux, the 'random dialogue generator' used for Zaeed and Kasumi, plus the 'invite up to quarters' options for ME2's, and combining them - that, for me at least, would be the ideal).

Basically, if such characters get the same kind of general interactions as traditional ship-based squaddies in ME1/2, then it won't really matter too much that they're not permanently stationed on the Normandy.

[Ieldra]

Accept? I would have no choice but to accept it, given that I want to play the game. Would I find it satisfying? That's a much harder question to answer. If the conclusion to Miranda's story arc is epic enough, I can see it happening. But I won't be satisfied with anything less than the conclusion of Liara's story in LotSB. Unseat TIM to become the new Illusive Woman, turn Cerberus to fighting the Reapers, decipher Reaper technology and find a protection against indoctrination. That might do it.
