TIM making it through ME3 alive.
femShep cougaring Vega the second she sees him. (broShep too for that matter). Later on is fine if they are both so inclined.
And that's really all I don't want.

Ditto...it doesn't matter if their faceless, you would feel such a high death count regardless of whether you know them or not, it would be devastating....What people need to remember, whether you know someone or not, those dying feel things as you feel, are as alive as you are, live, love and breathe as you do.Xilizhra wrote...

Two million dead on the first day. Six million dead in the first week. (or however that goes)I want people dying, regardless of choice. That even at the best of his ability, Shepard still wouldn't be able to get everyone out alive.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like you have much to worry about there.
People that Shep is familiar with, meaning probably squadmates. Not the faceless crowd.
Eh. My Shepard will still feel bad about how many other deaths she was unable to prevent. I'll get the meaning regardless.

TIM being the real savior of the galaxy
Ash wearing light armor.
Liara having yet another major occupational shift
Any character suddenly going mute when Shepard has an important choice to make or an event they should be interested in takes place.
Any radical peronality shifts without a good frakking reason given. "They've changed since the last game" is not a good enough reason.
Miranda (or any other character for that matter) wearing outfits two sizes too small for them.
Tali becoming a military commander
Thane's Kepral's being brushed aside as easily as Shepard's dying.
Garrus having yet another personal vendetta against an escaped criminal
Any squadmates having some sort of personal issue they absolutely positively have to see done or they'll be distracted at a critical moment and die, or get others killed. Not like the galaxy's at stake or anything.

~Spend half the game arguing with your LI about your actions if VS
~Having the VS constantly not trust you
~Having to break up another 2 fights and loose loyalty
~The council still being complete morons
~Shepard being superman/woman with no emotional breakdown
~Easy epic boss fight
~Being hit on or mind raped by more assari
~Harby following me around again

-The VS turning out to be either indoctrinated or just generall traitors
-Garrus unavoidably dying
-All the female characters getting the new standard issue NZ bikini and upgraded with the latest in boob and ass shot technology.
-Wrex betraying me
-Legion betraying me
-Anything to do with indoctrination, I've hated that stupid plot device since Mass Effect 1
Okay that's all I can think of right now.

*Liara not doing anything Shadow-Broker-y any more in order to be on Shepard's team
*Liara reverting to her ME1 personality
*any female putting on oversexed outfits or high heels on missions

I thought that feature was announced once. If I remember correctly it was possible to get characters pregnant in the game, that also included Shepard.
Could be a hoax however.
In that matter, I have to add a point:
- Miranda suddenly gets her infertility healed so she can get pregnant with Shepard's child.

Miranda, Jacob, Jack, Joker getting more than a brief cameo.
VS, Liara playing pivotal role.
Lack of death for VS and Liara.
If VS or Liara can't die and plays pivotal role: lack of indoctrination for VS and Liara.
Mordin not getting enough screen time beyond Sur-Kesh.
Mordin not being a part of Shepard's team.
TIM not getting the most screen time and conversations throughout the game.
More shooting time than conversation time.
Old squadmates outnumbering and overshadowing the new ones.
Shepard hugging VS when they meet.
Shepard objecting to Anderson staying on Earth.
Shepard being happy about getting back together with the Alliance.
Shepard saying "we fight or we die, that's the plan."
Lack of krogan alliance with humanity.
Lack of batarian and vorcha squadmates.
Lack of non-indoctrinated traitors among the Council and the Alliance brass.
The Council never attempting to sell humanity out to the Reapers to save their own species.
The scene where Paragon Shepard begs the Council for help and they refuse to help the Earth because they've got their own to save never happening.
TIM being indoctrinated.
If TIM's indoctrination happens: lack of indoctrination for all the previous LIs and for the entire Council and the Alliance brass.
TIM's scripted death.
If TIM's scripted death happens: lack of scripted death for all the previous LIs and for Shepard's entire squad, as Shepard is watching them die slowly, one by one, unable to do anything or interfere.

"I'm no fan of aliens"*Ashley turning full Paragon
I think you're good there.
Given that Ashley is likely bisexual, Jack would never want children and Miranda's infertility thing, the only person I can see having any kind of pregnancy even in an epilogue is Liara.*any female getting pregnant in the course of the game.
What do you mean, exactly? Because I don't think Saren was a cardboard villain; his motivations were understandable and realistic, albeit wrongheaded.*TIM turning cardboard villain
Okay, wait. I know you've ranted enough often enough about this happening, but... if it doesn't, and it turns out that they are capable of doing better in this huge crisis than they were before, this would be a bad thing? I legitimately don't understand your thought process here.The Council never attempting to sell humanity out to the Reapers to save their own species.

This! It drove me crazy that characters gave less input in ME 2 than in the original. There was less character banter, less input from them, etc. HATED that. I would even like a DA II-like option where Shepard can defer to a more suited squadmate like Hawke does.

2.) Not seeing the 3 way between Miranda, her father, and Cerberus remained unsolved.
3.) Not seeing the Quarians getting along with the Geth so easily.
4.) Not having the Quarians still be labeled as second class citizens after their massive involvement in taking down the Reapers.
5.) Not hearing about grunt for a few seconds in the game.
6.) Not having Ashley/Kaiden run Cerberus after TIMs death.
7.) Not having everyone live after the Reaper conflict, ME2 wise.
8.) Not having Ashely be comfortable under Shepards command. (She is a Specture now and Shepard may not be officially in the Alliance Navy.)

-FemShepard sexually harassing the male/LI characters on her squad (I'm surprised Jacob didn't file a complaint in ME2).
-Jack becoming a conventional badass and totally calm (I like her quirky, in-your-face attitude).
-Characters running around in outfits that aren't battle/space-worthy. Or without helmets in space. (Like Jack, Miranda, Jacob, Thane and Samara - though her's would've been fine without the plunging neckline and heels).
-Liara becoming unhinged.
-ME1 LIs and ME2 LIs getting into a great big fight over Shepard.
-Squadmates not forming friendships/rivalries, etc with each other.
-Ashley's opinion of aliens not having developed since working with them.
-Samara and Morinth's roles not being different at all (so no more impersonating Samara).
-Squadmates not providing much input on missions.
-Joker having less screentime than in ME2/not being an LI "because he's with EDI".
-Miranda being the sole f/f LI.
-Little/no choice over Shepard's emotional response.
-Liara's status as SB not being used to Shepard's advantage.
-Wrex, Jack, Samara and Legion having only a specific-mission cameo (I'd love to see them at intervals throughout, even if it's just through cutscenes of "meanwhile in -insertplacename-").
-No character mentioning Shepard's trial after the escape from Earth. In fact, no character inquiring about Shepard's well-being in general (With the exception of LotSB Liara and LI Jacob, no one seemed to ask about how Shep was feeling).
That's all.

Agree so much.6. Samara NOT trying to kill Shepard (even a paragon Shepard did some horrible things)
Everyone does that, not just Jacob.9. Jacob smiling (it's terrifying every time he does)
Bound to happen. I've known some truly brillaint people becoming childlike in old age.10. Mordin forgetting to double-check one of his experiments.

FemShep: Wear heels in ANY occassion. Or Little Black Dresses for that matter. Let me opt out, PLEASE.
BroShep: Have no time to shave. It's the 22nd century - I bet you can do it in 3 seconds with a laser.
Wrex: Die.
Liara: Become clingy.
Tali: Side with Admiral Garrel/Xen against the Geth.
Ash: Wear that lingerie-looking outfit while carrying a rifle.
Garrus: Stop rockets with his face. Again.
Jacob: Question my decisions. Again.
Miranda: Get insecure about herself. Again.
Mordin: Die of old age.
Jack: Become less crazy.
Grunt: Nothing really. Kid can take of himself fine.

2: Garrus turning out to be the son of the Hierarchy's top general or some BS like that.
3: Liara being hyper-competent for the entirety of the game.
4: Vega being written without character depth.
5: Jacob getting sidelined because the fans complained.
6: Shepard not getting any emotional depth.
I could list more, but I don't really want to.

2. Udina becomes councilor no matter what choice you made.
3. Liara still being boring as watching paint dry.
4. Tali still being ignorant( I like her her character just thinks shes ignorant)
5. James Vega becomes a pointless character.
6. TIM will not join Shepard no matter what.
7. Miranda goes down a same storyline path as Liara/Shadow Broker.
Will probably have more later on.
Edit=8. Aria becomes Shepard's ally no matter what.

Garrus having yet another personal vendetta against an escaped criminal. Seriously a parad Garrus let's not have him turning up stalker again!
Any squadmates having some sort of personal issue they absolutely positively have to see done or they'll be distracted at a critical moment and die, or get others killed. Not like the galaxy's at stake or anything.
Shepard being superman/woman with no emotional breakdown
Easy epic boss fight
Any female putting on oversexed outfits or high heels on missions or going inverse armor theory
Shepard not getting any emotional depth.
Liara's status as SB not being used to Shepard's advantage.
No character mentioning Shepard's trial after the escape from Earth. In fact, no character inquiring about Shepard's well-being in general
A few to add:
TIM, Aria, Patriarch, a prothean, Lang, a reaper, saren's brother, thane's son, Oriana, Talitha, Conrad, or zombie/rebuilt Saren joining your squad at all!

OK, my list.
FemShep: Wear heels in ANY occassion. Or Little Black Dresses for that matter. Let me opt out, PLEASE.
Wait, isn't it an option to begin with, or do you mean, make her fight in a dress without a say-so? Because I found it to be a novelty. Femshep doesn't have much in the way of fashion for casual wear so I do like the dress.
Do agree about the heels. Pain does not compare when you resprain an ankle sprain.
Wrex: Die.
Yes! He's a krogan! I expected better endurance from him instead of collapsing from a wimpy strike from Shepard. Even a point-blank shot from Ashley should not have downed him before he had at least a final retaliatory act.
Liara: Become clingy.
Too late. We all saw Shepard's armor in her apartment.
Mordin: Die of old age.
Agreed.
Jack: Become less crazy.
But not more, right?
Legion: Losing his N7 Armor.
Me too. In fact, I'd loan him the rest of Shepard's armor if he'd cover up that hole.
Kasumi: Disappear during the final battle.
Darn Shadow Strike glitch!
Zaeed: Retire.
You mean retire to a cabin in the woods with an impressive collection of guns and a basset hound named Buck, or the retirement he planned in a suicide run with a freighter full of explosives heading for Omega, or just any retirement at all?
