It's consistent for me with just Garrus gone. Add in a couple of others, plus the people who are forced to die in ME3, and you're already looking at 5 or 6 deaths. If you take too long rescuing the Cerberus crew too, then Ken Donnelly is depressed if you bring him back. It's not the same atmosphere without Gabby or Garrus chatting away.
I'd never kill a love interest though, for sure. That's basically what happened to Thane. His wife was killed because of his stupidity and he was forever messed up by it. I don't think Shepard would be any different. The tone of ME3 is depressing, but not to the point where Shepard isn't functional or seeking his own death.
The problem is you can't actually be the "hero that does everything right" in ME3.
If you do everything right at the end of ME2 you finish with a full crew of the galaxy's best badasses on a ship that's OP against anything short of a Reaper, in one of the most impregnable positions in the galaxy, and being backed by a private network of spies and informants that would make even Palpatine envious. In other words you have the makings of your own empire, as well as ties and leverage into just about every government. You could if you were allowed to that is, give everyone a gun and point them in the direction the Reapers will be coming from, without them being any the wiser.
Cue ME3... you're in jail on bull**** charges so some ****s can gain political points with a race that's already dead, your ship's impounded and its upgrades gutted, your badasses are scattered, and apart from two notable examples appear to be doing ****-all of use while refusing to join you, your would-be sanctuary has been taken and thus sped up/enabled the launch of the worst stormtooper homage to date and your vaunted Shadow Broker is crawling through vents because she's mildly menaced by two mooks.
No, I think it's easier to reconcile a failShep with this reality. If Shepard didn't do everything right, if he's an insufferable ****** and a moron to boot, who got everyone killed, and any survivors are wary and mistrustful, where he starts in ME3 and how it unfolds from there starts to flow a lot more smoothly. You can also play up the realistically shellshocked soldier angle, say it's all getting to him, the war, the losses. He's coming apart at the seams. Even those stupid nightmare sequences would have a place, though the damnable kid still doesn't.
I doubt it's the story any of us wanted. But... it is what it is.
