I can't limit myself to just 1.
1. Jack- I have a huge girl crush on her. Love her character development in 2 and 3 and would have loved to spend more time with her even if Shepard was friendzoned. I just absolutely adore her and the appeal of someone coming back from what she has endured and coming out as stable and GOOD as she did appeals to my internal optimist.
2. Harbinger- There is a huge whole in this game where Harbinger was needed. He should have been taunting me throughout the game as he did in ME2. I should have had an epic boss fight where I killed him and my team desecrated his reaper corpse. His absence was sorely missed in this game.
3. The VS- They were woefully short on dialogue and interactions. Bioware pulled them out of ME2 so we should have gotten a double dose of VS dialogue and interactions in ME3 to make up for it. I would have loved a jerry springer style scene on the Normandy in front of everyone complete with hand to hand combat working our way toward the airlock before collapsing at a standstill with bruised swollen eyes bloody lips both of us on the deck grunting and slapping each other calling each other names but ending with a smile our issues worked out. We have so much history between us and the stress of the reaper war it would have been epic. Nothing says I love you like a knockdown drag out fight and intersperse it with dialogue that shows the hurt on both sides and its pure win.
4. Miranda- In ME2 she was my 2nd in command, she was also a defector from cerberus and I spend most of ME3 fighting cerberus. She should have been at my side the whole time. It makes no sense that she is not there with such a cerberus-centric plot.
Nicely put.
Jack is ok. She shined in ME2. In ME3, she just wasn't there much at all. Same with any of the LI. The whole team from ME2 deserved to be with Shep in the fight against the Reapers. If it was to be the end of life as we know it, I want Wrex AND Grunt on my Team dangnabbit! I wanted battles with the whole team involved, not some 3 man fireteam BS from games of ages past. Bioware could have stepped it up - instead....
Harby was a PITA and deserved to be put down like a rabid velociraptor. Use extreme caution and terminate with prejudice. Bioware missed the mark on that - because Harby more than earned a whoopin in ME2.
My VS was ALWAYS Ashley. Someytimes as LI, sometimes not, but it was always her. Kaidan did his duty like any man should. After the feelings of betrayal on Horizon I wanted recompensation for all of my effort and dedication to her. Seeing her hurt on Mars was intense - and some very good writing. For that scene alone we can skip the fight in my mind.
Miranda should have been with Shep the whole time - at least for defecting from Cerberus. The Illusive Man was in the perfect place here - he basically had Miri's sister as a prisoner. TIM employed the family, knew where Orianna was - he just held too many of the chips to be crossed and not expect retribution. I would expect that the Alliance would welcome her, given all she knew of Cerberus and Project Lazarus.
All in all, I guess I wished the whole team from ME2 was around. To me, the game is more than just mechanics. I wanted my team - just like when ME2 started and Shep was talking to Jacob about where they all were. He agains asks TIM where each and every person is. Bioware missed a critical mark of where the greatness in their games comes from. Its not the aliens or the eye candy or the fight mechanics - its in the interractions with the characters that we all know and love (minus the ones we spaced, of course). I guess its the whole ball of wax all rolled into one - because if even one element is missing, the game just doesn't have the magic.
