There has been rumor floating around that there is a new squadmate in addition to James Vega whom is also a possible new love interest. This rumor has lead to some speculation as to whom this member may be so: from an expert Assassin to major Information Broker; old club Stripper to Mercenary-for-hire; or from a Rookie green as grass to a battle-hardened Veteran with a badass attitude. Who do you think this new member would be?

[shepskisaac]

It's not really a rumor as much as it's a logical guess.

[Ghrelt]

Parasini.

Lemme check, Aurora:

- Assassin -> Thane
- Mercenary -> Zaeed
- Info broker -> Liara
- Stripper -> Samara None taken yet
- Green dude -> Vega

So what about a beautiful and powerful girl with an asian touch. Wait ... Kasumi ...

Na, I have no idea yet. Guess she could either be another Infiltrator without Kasumi's stealth attack but powerful sniping attack (= replacement for Garrus if he died in ME2?) or Vanguard or so ... dunno. I also wonder if she's human or not.

Well, this thread I started for speculation. So... speculate away.

[shepskisaac]

Wonder what class will she be. We can rule our Biotic/Adept since Liara covers that. Neither soldier/tank since Vega covers that. Sentinel or Vanguard, though Infiltrator/Assassin or Technician can't be ruled out since both Tali & Garrus may be dead.

[Fiery Phoenix]

It's pretty much a given there will be a female squadmate complementing James' inclusion. This has been a fixed pattern since ME1.

At least that makes sense to me.

Still: Parasini is epic win!

Liara is the team's biotic.

Ugh I'd rather not have another permanent squad position lost to a newbie since those are in short supply. But since speculate we must, I would get behind the idea that she's swappable with Vega based on the VS. If you saved Ashley you get Vega. If you saved Kaidan you get Mystery girl. I'm basing this on new LI potential and keeping that balanced. I couldn't care less what class she ends up being.
Being swappable would mean a similar background with Vega so Alliance grunt, possibly sniper or engineer.

Ha who said it has to be human? Garrus' sister? I"LL AVENGE YOU BRO

What else do you suggest? Everyone can die during SM. Except for Liara, no squadmate position and profession is granted, therefore they have to create new squadmates that will be in everyone's game and cover all key, necessary professions.

Not gonna happen, it's almost 100% sure everyone gets Vega, he's there to fill the tank role and for all new players, male & female.

I want to point out that Casey DID say there are yet-to-be-revealed characters in the squad. The current composition that we know of isn't final.

[DoNotIngest]

Kaidan & Ashley

Jacob & Miranda

James & ______



I'd hold out hope for Kasumi, since we really don't need *another* human squadmate (Seriously, that'll put us to at least 9 human squaddies so far), and she was nearly unanimously liked, but I doubt it. It'll definitely be human, female, and romanceable, though. And Bi, of course, like Jimmy Boy; Gotta address all the complaints you can with the new kids on the block.

[jlb524]

Speculation: She's female and DudeShep can sex her up.

Beyond that...idk.

Not quite, you must have two surviving team members to survive yourself. So two survivors plus Liara and the VS and you're back up to 4 squadmates. I know it'd be hell trying to code all the permutations of that. I'm not against new squadmates per se. I'm more against new squadmates+limited spots= lesser positions for ME2 favorites (and favoritism obviously plays a role).  If they weren't so adamant about keeping the squad at 6, I would have no problems with Vega or Mystery Girl.

She's gonna be a bisexual and this time Bioware won't be scared to make one. She'll probably have giant ****** and, probably a huge ass. Also Bioware will make sure to shove her up our face.

You mean 'in our face'?

They're all asexual.

It seems likely that we already know who the two human squad members we meet at the beginning are: Vega and the VS (usually Ashley). I don't think there will be a third human squaddie at that stage. So, it appears the pattern is changing slightly in that area. Two humans, but one a returning character.

Obviously, that doesn't preclude other human squad members joining later on, but the pattern you're describing is likely filled: Ashley/Kaidan, Miranda/Jacob, VS/Vega.

And if these 2 survivors just happen to be soldier-tanks Grunt & Zaeed? That's the problem with SM, the variable is 2 out of 12 (actually, out of 13 since there's also Morinth). Just because you have 2 people survive doesn't guarantee these squadmates cover basic/key professions for ME3.

Back to 2. And as utterly simple as VS variable is compared to SM, the fact remains if you have Ash survive, you lack Sentinel. If you have Kaidan survive, you lack Soldier. So Liara brings the only guaranteed basic profession since she will be in absolutely everyone's game, no matter what happened in ME1 & ME2.

Exactly and it would take years to do that which is why it won't happen. Not a chance. And they keep the squad smaller to allow more dialogues & greater interaction with and between the squad, something ME2 lacked because of the ridiculous size of the squad.

Liara says hi. And Kelly, Morinth, Samara, Consort etc. BioWare was never scared of implementing bisexual female LIs, let's not pretend they were.

That's the official line but I'm mighty curious if keeping "more interaction" and expanding squad size is really that prohibitive in terms of cost. I'd also be interested in finding out how much more interaction they'll really have.

Don't know if a detailed breakdown and rebuttal of my last post was necessary seeing as I acknowledged the necessity of new characters. But until they stand on their own merit they're coming in at the expense of old favorites and people will dislike that. Doesn't matter that Bioware backed themselves into this corner. That's the way I and others feel.

Not the place for it though, so continue speculating on Mystery Girl.
