That's a fair point, but it's the end of the trilogy, ME2 was the higher selling of the two games, and Miri was the cover NPC for that game.
Seriously, A lot of us started with that game, and even though Ash is my avatar, most of my favorite characters are from it. It's a shame they all get cameos...
I do get that. I really liked Miranda. She was my deputy throughout ME2. Loved Wrex, too, actually, so I wasn't trying to be unfair by mentioning him. I wouldn't be disappointed to see either of them come back. More Miranda's a good thing, more Wrex is a good thing - in fact, it sort of bothers me that this is the only game without a krogan squadmate, so I'd totally be happy to see either of them return.
But at the same time, I can't help but get more excited by the idea that there might be brand new stories being told in the universe. All those characters are good, but their stories are more or less complete. Some of them finished hastily, some of them really well, but I've kind of made peace with all of them. Great if they add to the existing characters, but ask me who I want in the Life Support room and I'd vote for a newbie, every time. It's the Kasumi thing again. The more new faces, the better, for me.
The other thing is - and I think this is the reason Wrex only joined you in ME1, too - any returning squadmate could be dead. Which is huge when you're trying to sell a product, you want as many people to be able to play it right out of the packet as possible. They could go down the Mordin Solus / Padok Wiks route, but that kind of thing's a lot easier to do for a mission or two and a lot harder to do for an entire game. I'm not saying it's not possible - you could choose between them, Chakwas-or-Michel style - but it's a hell of a challenge.
