Mordin's Loyalty Mission and the decision there, Legion's (0bviously), maybe Tali's and how you deal with the admirals and I don't think any others would matter too much?

What do you think?

[Stardusk78]

Eh, no thoughts?

[Mathy16]

I think every LM will have an impact...
for example if you didn't do Miranda's LM her sister will be back with her father
You had to make a decision in every LM and BW will do something with those decision...
We just don't know how big every LM will impact on the main story or situation that squadmate is when you go search for him..

[Robhuzz]

Like Mathy said, every LM will have it's impact, though some more than others. For Jacob it shouldn't matter if his dad is in prison, left on the island or dead. If you don't do Miranda's then her father will have captured Oriana, making sure Cerberus can't blackmail Miranda with it. Whereas if you have done Miranda's LM then TIM knows the location and can blackmail Miranda with it.

Obviously the genophage cure decision on Mordin's mission can play a big role. Choosing to rewrite or destroy the heretic geth will either make the main geth faction stronger, or not. Choosing not to do that mission SHOULD cause all geth to be rewritten into heretics and make Geth allies a no go in ME3. Though I'm sure the renegades (some of which will have sold Legion to Cerberus) will be complaining about that enough for BW to change this somehow.

[KainrycKarr]

Somehow, I don't think Harkin or Kolyat will be all that important.

[nhsk]

Rather sure a dead Morinth isn't going to count for much either, and any sane Renegade would ensure Morinth died in the SM.

[Fatemaster]

What about Kasumi?

[mulder1199]

tali's, legion's, garrus, mordin

tali's can gain you the migrant fleet's help, legions an army of geth, i'm guessing that if you spare the coward in garrus' (he says he'll make up for it) maybe you can get a mecr sqaud from him to do something, and mordin curing the genophage resulting in a krogan army...

[Stardusk78]

I did not mean when you didn't do the LM, I mean having done the LM, it probably won't be that important...

Having Mordin keep Maelons data will result in the following:

Less female krogan have died in the effort to cure the genophage

Having Mordin not keep it: 

More female krogan have died in the effort to cure the genophage

Having Mordin dead means that Maelon will take his place, or his Mordins nephew

But don't kid yourself and think that it matters in a grand scale.

[Juha81FIN]

Loyalty missions will probably have impact for ME3, how big or small it is no clue and I don´t want to speculate.

[BatmanPWNS]

I don't know how Jacob's loyalty mission will have a big impact on ME3.

[krislandis]

I think Tali, Legion and Mordin's will be the three ones that really impact the larger scale events of the game. I'm sure the other ones will have moments where they pop up (ala the emails you got relating to side missions you completed in ME1) but not big, plot changing outcomes.

[nhsk]

They won't have plot changing outcomes, they will have influence on whether you talk with admiral Tali Zorah when recruiting the quarians, or some other admiral... And the dialogue will adjust accordingly.
The cure will be created for the genophage no matter what, the effect is that if the cure was saved less krogan will die while it happens and again some substitute for Mordin will be available, perhaps Mordins nephew, but overall it won't change anything.

Etc. etc. and so forth.

[Zebron is reaL]

I would hope that, if they don't have new models, that squadmates will show up in their LM outfits if you did it

As for actual decisions, I could see Legion and Tali's missions being tied to the factions you're recruiting. Mordin's seems plausible and the Samara/Morinth issue will definitely show up

[MEsuperfan]

I think the samara/morinth choice will be very important. Also, if you preserved Maleon's reaserch in Mordin's loyalty mission

[Ahglock]

Those are probably the only 3 with some story impact, the rest are email fodder. But even with the story impact the impact will be small just because programming all the different paths would be a pain. It will probably be like Wrex, oh he's dead here is your Substitute Wrex with virtually no change in the game.

I feel like Samara has the potential to be an important ally or enemy on Thessia.  And if you chose Morinth... well.  I'm not sure I want to see how the asari will react if they learn you helped an Ardat-Yakshi kill a Justicar.

Only person with a sanity in this thread, +1 to you.

If you completed Grunt's and killed the beast, you don't get to see it consume a Reaper. D=

Harkin and Sidonis qua Harkin and Sidonis might not be - but what about the impact on Garrus' character?

The "coward" sidonis turns himself in t0 -Csec. It's on the emily wong report or whatever it's called.

[nitrog100]

I'd say: Tali's, Legion's, Mordin's, Grunt's (increasing the standing of clan Urdnot), and Kasumi's are all going to have a pretty major impact.

What do you think?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I mean, let's go through them - this is the likely ME3 importance I'd attribute to them:

Legion: Potentially very important.
Tali: Potentially very important.
Garrus: Not important.
Zaeed: Not important.
Kasumi: Not important.
Samara: If you picked Morinth, I believe that'll have some small impact, but not a big one.
Thane: Probably not important, though it might affect whether Thane is alive and fighting for a cure or not.
Grunt: Is there even a choice? I don't recall one.
Jack: Not important.
Mordin: Potentially somewhat important.
Miranda: Not important.
Jacob: Not important.

So I think Mordin is really the only person to add, and the choice isn't whether to shoot Maelon, it's whether to keep his data.

[Parah_Salin]

Mordin I'd say would be VERY important. Tali/Legion of course.

Now I wonder what they'll do with Kasumi's? They made it out to seam important, but she was DLC and I just can't see that being pivotal.
