Having lots of people die is more a testament to Shepard's incompetence than her ruthlessness. Anyone who dies because of not upgrading the ship shows Shepard is a poor captain. Having them die simply because they are not focused is a failure of leadership. Miranda says straight up the mission comes first and that we should wait to go through the relay until specialists are focused. There are, however, decisions you can make that will get people killed even with an all loyal squad.

 

For instance: for the vents, pick Tali as the tech expert, but then pick Zaeed as fire team lead. He fits Miranda's criteria: he has a lot of experience. But picking him would get Tali killed. Pick Miranda or Jacob for Bubble duty. Supposedly any biotic can hold up the bubble. We only find out afterwords that is not the case. Never wake up Grunt. Send Garrus back with what remains of the crew. Have Zaeed as second fire team lead. (Tali's death can be chalked up to her failure, not Zaeed's.) Zaeed dies and, I believe, (I haven't done the calculation yet) two of the HTL team because none of the heavy hitters are there.

 

Anyway, I have no desire to kill Wrex in ME3, so I am just going to not recruit him.

 

ME2 is Shepard reaching his peak as a human being imo.

 

We just get to determine at what heights that peak gets to be, and then how to respond to that in ME3.

 Fun playthrough I've done (not my canon):

 

Spacer who enlists to uphold the family tradition and holds a very romantic view on the galaxy, until his assignment on Akuze (Sole Survivor) destroys his fantasy world. In the face of the Thresher Maw attack, he runs in terror until he is finally rescued, but the Alliance believes it to be some great show of survival skills. And, noting his family-ties, they wrongly promote him for it a few times. He looks the part (default Sheploo appearance), and many people blindly follow him thinking he knows what he's doing, but the truth is, he's incompetent. As a soldier, he's plenty skilled, he just lacks confidence in himself beyond being a mere grunt.

 

rules: no interrupts or persuasion-dialogue at all, except for maybe a few times in ME3 to show some growth.
