I'll be vauge for now but generally our LIs fall into one of two camps: crewLI and noncrew LI. We can't expet for BW to make noncrew LI into them because some do have valid reasons for not being able to join our cause in this method but what can occur are changes to how we the players spend our time with them.
NON-CREW LI
For me I think a few of these could join up on ship (more on that later) but for now given how BW has scripted them I think it would be made more enjoyable if:
1. We got holocomm with them - you could have several prescripted just because calls with the LI you could speak to them about several topics and your relationship. After those moments your LI will randomly call you Trynor will again say " Commander [ insert LIs name here] is on the comm link for you" Trynor doesn't even need to know they are your LI she is after all just giving you information. In addition the commlinks is also were you can receive/give comfort & support, and help each other with the ups/downs of the war and each other's situations.
2. Break dates - Each LI would get one unique to them and their circumstances. For instance Miranda isn't going to go to a nightclub if she's still being hunted by Cerberus she'll want something nice but private so she lessons her chance of drawing attention to either of you. Thane can't leave the hospital so he'll meet you on the roof for a lunch, ect. These would either be initiated via email or holocomm invite.
3. You would receive 2 - 4 emails from your LI on various topics and you could actually pick a mood reply for them LI will bring it up next holocomm conversation on how your response helped/hurt them or their situation.
4. If the LI has a long run in the game they will invite shep to the citadel to an apartment and it would be small talk and then they'd make love to shep this wouldn't be a prebattle type of thing it would however fit into the the LIs time frame. Unfortunately do to privacy and how short his life is Thane nor Jacob due to his cheating would get these.
5. Exclusive to Thane and Jacob would be other scenes. Thane would have a moment of heart to heart in a new location at the hospital maybe VS comes into it as well physically if you romanced them prior. Jacob would be able to feel the wrath of shepard you can drag him off to a corner and begin that conversation on why he's such a jerk and didn't wait much less see you on Earth and figure out can you forgive him or not.
6. 2 Shore leave moments these would occur when shep gets off the ship and if he can find them on the citadel he can get a few moments of one on one time with them.
CREW LI
For being on your ship and having the most access with Shep these still left players feeling like they sure got some holes in them. They all come on the ship at different points but that doesn't mean they should've been rushed for it.
1. Regardless of when your LI comes aboard you should still be able to experience multiple ups/downs with them. Each one brings unique circumstances aboard when they arrive not to mention if you romanced an alien they're comming onto the ship at shep's worse moment of his life so given that we should be able to have up/down moments between our LI and Shep both should receive/give comfort to whomever needs it at these times.
2. At least 2 on ship and 2 off ship moments with LI. These would not be invite meetings the player would simply be running around and their LI would be out in public if you talk to them you'll get the moment. On ship if you find them at a certain point in game you'll get the moment these moments wouldn't necessarily crop up only when you are helping your LIs world they could come before, during, or after the event.
3. Invite breakdate via email they say they want to hangout but in reality they'll surprise you with a date unique to them no copy/paste lunch dates. These would really reflect who your LI is and the way they feel for you.
4. Extended love scenes some players got 1 second so those need to go up in time, pacing, and before/after conversations. It also couldn't hurt for BW to show some suggestive skin shots even if your LI is alien after all you didn't pick that LI for their looks but for who they are so showing some of their alien skin would be part of accepting them. In the case of Tali take off the helmet and show her face side and front w/o it.
5. Key moment relationship fallout/building up/deepening depending this if mainly for the LIs Liara and Thessia she comes along and what you say and do during/after will help. When you go to comfort her romanced sheps of her get extended time here they will cheer her up if they can and after that moment when she comes back to reality the scene will keep going now would be a time for relationship building, strengthening, or destruction and weakness.
Same with Tali and Mshep but in their case they've got so much chaos for one scene to cover theirs would take place in two parts after you come back from being in the geth world your LI will come to your cabin and speak to you on it (really anycrew LI will have this talk) the LI will be worried for shep, their mental state, as well as begin to inquire on the LP shep has to try to reassure them and or shep can choose to look to them for support saying how they didn't want to be in there and how that effected them this point would allow players to experience ups/downs, give/receive comfort, and relationship expansion/lessening deepening/reversal.
The next scene would be really exclusive to tali/shep its after Rannoch is taken back she comes up again is so happy she flings her arms around you and you two again get a relationship bonding moment she'd speak about Earth and you as the player now can air out how this is effecting shep and if its effecting why you got her homeworld back or not and you ask her about details of her home she wants, ect.
NON - crew + others joining up?
Some noncrew I thought didn't present much in the way of obstacles as to why they couldn't join up with you Miranda's being hunted down so why not come along? Jacob being a two timer if you forgave him why can't he leave her for you? Ect.
I thought it was nice BW wanted to give us two unique crewmen but honestly they could've been made optional or killable and their spots refilled by PLAYERS choice. If players were given the option to take/not take Eva's body by not taking it EDI doesn't get a body but she still will privately chat with shep in his cabin about weather or not she should remake herself for the crew's sake, Vega if you don't para him in the fight can/would die on Mars, VS can be told to get lost this leaves open 3 slots that the players should've been able to fill with select crewmen like: Miranda, Jacob, Mordin, and Legion
Players should also be able to persuade if their para/ren scores are high enough for: Samara, for admiral krios to give up Kal Reegor to be your squadmate, Shaila (feros girl), Jack, Gavon, Athena, Rannoch heavy geth, Grunt and or that stand in Krogan you can ask them both if either one would like to join when you meet them to check out the lost krogan men but only one can/will join you if you ask.
The player if they choose not take/kill off Vega, Eva's body, and VS would then be allowed to pick or persuade three of any of the names listed above. If for instance the player chooses not to take Eva's body, kills vega, but keeps VS they only can pick two of any of the names above. Since Legion and Mordin both must die in their events after they die the player can again pick two more off the list above to replace these member's spaces. If you for instance relace a dead Mordin with Gavon you won't find Gavon in medical you will instead find Gavon down on deck 4 boxing and talking with Cortez if Vega is dead.
