Morinth is dead in all playthroughs. She either gets killed by Samara or gets turned into a Banshee by the Reapers.

[The Elder King]

I'd honestly be fine with 7 companions.
Considering certain two humans, and highly likely a krogan, I'd like a female turian and asari, and a male quarian and salarian. Though we don't know If all the races will be in, or if They won't add companions from new races.

not so fast. If you don't do or fail Samara's LM and she doesn't shoot herself, Morinth doesn't show up as a banshee and the ending slide is rather ambiguous

[AresKeith]

You know, it would be kinda awesome to get a Cowboy-ish companion who did duel pistols

Hmm. That's an interesting (and plausible) theory.

But that still elimate's her as a companion based on that only a small number of people actually did that

1) Male human spy/agent.

Now, we've already got 2 female spies/agents. (Miranda/Leliana). I say let's get a male one this time around. We already know quite a lot about the Alliance military/N7/specters/... , but what about the intelligence agencies? I'd love to have more lore on ME espionage.

2) Turian Cabal

IRC quite a lot of people in the MEU don't trust biotics. Some even think that it's unnatural. But we, as Cdr.Shepard, never saw that. ( Obviously nobody would say something about the Normandy Crew or Shepard him/herself )

If we don't start out as a famous person, this would enable us to see the common folk reacting to biotics.

[President of Boom]

Top five:

1. a female Turian

2. new species with teleportation or shapeshifting powers

3. scorpion or tarantula-inspired species--something a bit more anthropomorphic than the Rachni

4. a male Krogan

5. Javik

if they were just using majority rules to decide things in the trilogy than they would simply have canonized the destroy ending.

not that I actually expect everyone's favourite space vampire to make an apperance or even be mentioned. Just continuing the joke.

[The Elder King]

I doubt we'll see former squadmates as squadmates in MEA Though.

[Twilight_Princess]

Going by the leak it looks like we're getting a male krogan called Drack and a female human/asari called Cora. So lets say there are 7 slots, I'd like;

 

1. Drack

2. Cora as an asari

3. A male salarian that isn't a nerd or a scientist but more of a rocket racoon personality

4. A male or female turian that is an example of a "good" turian

5. New alien race

6. A human male that is interesting please! Lets stop making them boring.

7. A human female

 

If there's room a male quarian would be great , even if he's just a engineer on-board rather than a squad mate.

[Vilio1]

The obligatory (boring) human male
Human female (Cora?)
Turian female
Batarian
Krogan
Asari commando (matron stage)
Salarian STG
Maybe some new race

I'm tired of quarians and geth. Having a Volus/Hanar/Elcor as a supporting shipbound crew member would be great. But as a squad member? Very unlikely, I think.

[HairyMadDog1010]

Female human, Vanguard, contradicting her choice of class she would be a quiet shy artsy type. Mid to late twenties.

 

Male human Infiltrator, A rugged veteran of the galaxies underworld just looking for a pay day. Late thirties to mid forties.

 

Male Krogan Adapt, A young idealistic Krogan who was born an unnaturally powerful biotic which caused his clan to shelter him away. This gave him insatiable wanderlust causing him to run away searching for an adventure 20-50 years old. Due to how young he is he is quite childlike, imagin a less violent Grunt.

 

Female Asari Sentinel, with a bit of a masculine personality. A bit of a black sheep who focused more on tech than biotics perfers to hang out with the ships mechanic and help out. 400/500 years old

 

Male Salarian Engineer, a representative Salarian interests. A by the book kind of guy who prefers to keep to him self and reluctant to interact with the crew. 15 years old.

 

Female Quarian/Geth Cyborg Soldier. Due to the Quarian Geth union we get to see our first suit-less Quarian squaddie, however she equips a suit for battles. A bit of a renegade who prefers the sword over the pen so to speak. 30-40 years old.

[Han Shot First]

Going by the leak it looks like we're getting a male krogan called Drack and a female human/asari called Cora. 

 

 

If all the leak details are legit I'm guessing Cora will be human rather than Asari. I say that only because in the teaser the N7 guy was fighting alongside a Krogan and a woman. You can see a human skin tone through the woman's visor, ruling out an Asari. I wonder if N7 guy's companions in that teaser might have been Drack and Cora.

Cowboy Vanguard, biotic charge and pistols everywehere, YEEEEHAAAAAW!

[AresKeith]

Well not Cowboy in terms of talking lol

[Boost32]

We're getting another krogan, I'd put my money on them pushing another pinnochio story, and yeah asari is pretty much a given because god forbid we don't have a gratuitious blue spacebabe even though they have already been represented better than anyone else. Turian female or quarian male would be much better than any of those IMO.especially if I can collect the latter's bodily fluids.

Yes! I don't believe in god, but he should forbid it!
There is no problem with Asaries babies!

[Bipster]

Not technically about squaddies, but kinda relevant:

 

Forgot to say in my last post, but I definitely also want to see more non-human crew members. Quarian engineer, Drell doctor, Batarian pilot; something like that. Having an all human crew like last time would be too similar to the trilogy.

 

[Broganisity]

Well not Cowboy in terms of talking lol

  You some kin'a pansy, pardner? *nova-cancels everywhere, knocking your things all over the room*

[Tinxa]

What about new Andromeda races for companions?

 

I have a feeling that old ME races won't really be in the majority in this game but that the game will focus more on introducing new civilisations rather than have us deal with a planet full of Krogans again for example. The major issues those races had were resolved in ME3 anyway (Krogan and Salarians, Quarians and Geth).

[goofyomnivore]

I wonder if any of the bird aliens or whatever that were discovered in Mass Effect 3, but bailed out of joining the Citadel races because of the Reapers will be in the game.

[AresKeith]

  You some kin'a pansy, pardner? *nova-cancels everywhere, knocking your things all over the room*

 

Nope but Cowboys like Erron Black are the best Cowboys

 

[surgeraven]

We already have a confirmed Asari Biotic (1) and a Krogan (2), so I'd also like to see...

 

(4) Andromaedan Squadmate

Yes, I definitely want an Andromeda native to join us! T'would be an invaluable source of info, no?
 

 

That's- not the only thing getting stretched when you romance an entire military force.

Ahahahaha, you're terrible!

Quarian male. I like quarians, so I'm hoping they're still around. I think this character would be an amazing chance to show how the quarian society has changed since Shepard's time. They have a homeworld now instead of a Migrant Fleet. Do they still wear suits and visors? Just the suit? Normal clothes with a similar style? How do they feel about AI now? How are their immune systems? To further distance from Tali, I'd like him to be male and not an engineer.

A new alien species would be good for the ship, but they don't necessarily have to be on the ground team. Could just be an ambassador or something who's on the ship for a while, like Eve/Bakara or Raan. I wouldn't mind an AI for the ship, but it should remain ship-bound, not a squadmate. More interesting perspective, and more useful.

 

I agree, it'd be interesting to see how they present a quarian squadmate. If peace between the geth and quarians was achieved, the geth helped strengthen their immune systems. However, ME:A is set well ahead of the events of the trilogy, so maybe they've found another way to bolster them. Either way, I think having a quarian squadmate that can be around other species without his/her helmet on would be awesome!

 

 

Spoiler

Human Male Soldier - North American. Gunnery Sgt. Ellison (trained Shepard and Williams), a grizzled Staff NCO and former Drill Instructor at Macapá. Rather than the relative n00b who is less experienced than the protagonist and looks up to him/her like Kaidan or Vega, he has spent over twenty years in the military and fought in both the Skyllian Blitz and Reaper War, is a bit of a hard ass, and not afraid to let the protagonist or other officers know when they're wrong. He should be the stereotypical lifer and someone you couldn't imagine existing outside the military. Think someone similar to Quaritch from Avatar, except enlisted, or Sergeant Major Plumley.

 

Human Female Infiltrator - Lieutenant. Born in Lowell City on Mars, the child of Eastern European & Iranian immigrants. Evacuated from Mars to the Citadel along with other civilians after Earth was attacked, she later enlisted in the Alliance from the Citadel's docking bay refugee camp. Was wounded and received a battlefield commission for heroism at Firebase Dagger/Ontarom. Pulled strings to get two surviving kid brothers aboard the ark. Not a lifer and plans to leave the military for medical school, but not before helping to find a new home where her family can be safe.

 

Asari Vanguard - 350 year old Asari commando, from the colony of Lusia. Took part in the defense of the Cyone after the Reaper attack. Sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor. Countless close calls with death have left her with a strong belief in living life to its fullest, and she has embraced the Asari equivalent of an Epicurean philosophy. 

 

Quarian Male Engineer - An artificial intelligence expert who was exiled from the Migrant Fleet for conducting illegal A.I. research, over the objections of Admiral Xen. Lived on Omega during his exile. Later recruited by the Shadow Broker (Yahg) as part of his cyber intelligence network. He remained working in that capacity after Liara seized control, and was one of the Shadow Broker's key assets during the Reaper War. Doesn't know the Shadow Broker's identity but has suspicions of a regime change based on how the organization operated following the events of LotSB. Vital in cracking Reaper code that was passed on to various Council intelligence services, helping to thwart an attack on the Salarian colony of Mannovai.

 

Batarian Male Sentinel - Born on Khar'Shan. Part of the elite Batarian Special Intervention Unit, he was recruited for a black ops mission that later evolved into the Skyllian Blitz. While serving as an adviser to the mercenary and pirate proxies attacking human colonies, he was wounded and captured during the failed assault on Elysium. He spent several years in Alliance military detention centers, stubbornly refusing to provide actionable intelligence while under interrogation. In the chaos and confusion of the Reaper invasion, he was able to escape from his Alliance holding cell. Stranded on a human world and a firm believer in the old maxim that an enemy of an enemy is a friend, he joined with a band of human civilian refugees in the wilderness and forged them into a hardened resistance cell. Later he was aboard one of the last ships carrying refugees off planet, after being seriously wounded. While he maintains loyalty to the former Hegemony, he developed a grudging respect for humans after spending months fighting beside them.

 

Male Yahg Soldier- Captured by Batarian slavers who sold him to a Terminus warlord fond of watching slaves fight and kill each other for sport. After several years as a prized pit fighter, he led a slave revolt that murdered his master. Escaped in his master's ship and went pirate. Founded a small colony of runaway slaves turned pirates on a derelict space station where he ruled as their 'king.' Terrorized the shipping lanes of the Terminus for years before losing it all during the Reaper War. Learned of the ark project during a card game with a drunken Salarian engineer, and managed to get smuggled aboard as a stowaway in a cargo container through a bribe. Discovered and imprisoned during the ark's flight. Selfish and aggressive demeanor. He will only serve the protagonist if dominance is first established. (besting him in combat or a high intimidation check)

 

Turian Female Adept - Spacer, born on the Citadel. A member of the Turian cabals, a battle scarred-veteran of the Reaper War and a lifer. She was stationed on Palaven when the Reapers attacked and spent weeks on the front lines. Severely wounded during the fighting and evacuated to the Citadel for medical treatment, where a lost arm was replaced with a prosthetic. Her mate and child remained on Palaven and were killed during the fighting. Suffering from survivor's guilt.

Wow, you know your Mass Effect stuff I especially like the batarian.

 

 

Soo... I guess I would like to see:

 

1. A quarian who can function without his/her suit and/or a crapload of antibiotics

 

2. A female drell

 

3. A volus as our.... ambassador? diplomat? negotiator? Not sure what type of title to give the job, but someone who manages dealings with any factions we may come across (definitely not a squadmate). While we will without a doubt encounter hostile entities, maybe we'll run into others who will be sympathetic to our cause (or whatever the hell we're doing in Andromeda). He/she'll negotiate dealings for alliances, resources, etc. I'm thinking a mix between Varric from DA and Tyrion from GoT. "Why fight when you can negotiate" would be his/her persona I guess. Incredibly knowledgeable, quick to point out foolish errors, and opposes brutish tactics.

 

4. A native to Andromeda

 

5. A batarian mercenary. Chain-smoker, drinks, and you always find him in the bar and/or hangin' with the rest of the crew. He agreed to the mission because of the ridiculous amount of creds he's getting paid to do it (assuming they're getting paid). He's an exceptionally skilled infiltrator who excels at adapting to the situation and using the enemies' weaknesses against them. He's incredibly sarcastic, has a dark sense of humor, and is quick to call people out on their bullshit. Ah who am I kidding; I just want Bronn in Mass Effect.

[Lady Artifice]

Wow, this thread has been fun to come home to after work. I got to read some really comprehensive wish lists for companions. I didn't expect to find so many people who are as enthusiastic about speculating as I am. 

 

I'm all about the space cowboyish squad member. Malcolm Reynolds for ME companion, please. 

 

Hi

First of all can u rename the topic, Companion instead of Squad members, so we can talk about companion suche as Diana Allers, Doctor Charkwass, Traynor and such. Plus Inquisition offer more with Josephine, Leliana, Cullen.

 

Hi. 

 

Done. 

[daveliam]

I'll also take a Jane, Kaylee, and/or Zoe too.  At any point.  They don't need to all be in the same game!
