I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the consistency of the squad in the upcoming trilogy (assuming Andromeda is the start of a trilogy).

 

In Mass Effect 1 there were a total of 6 squad members, only 2 of which carried over to Mass Effect 2's squad, and 4 carried over to Mass Effect 3.

 

In Mass Effect 2 there were a total of 12 squad members (13 for Morinth), 2 of which were from the previous game, and those same 2 characters carried on over to Mass Effect 3.

 

In Mass Effect 3 there were a total of 7 squad members, 4 of whom came from Mass Effect 1, and 2 of those who were also in Mass Effect 2.

 

In other words, Tali and Garrus were the only squad members who remained consistent through the entire series, while Ashley/Kaiden and Liara were present in the first and third installments.  Some of these characters went on to become very important characters in later games, and the evolving squad system allowed you to meet new characters in each game (thank god for Mass Effect 2's squad, easily my favorite).

 

Would you prefer we keep the same squad throughout the new trilogy, or do you want to see the squad's composition change over the course of the games?  If the latter, how much change do you want to see?

 

Me personally, I'd like for about half the squad in game 1, and half the squad in game 2 to come together in game 3.  I really disliked leaving Thane, Miranda, Samara, and Zaeed behind.

I wont explain how that ended.

Besides the words "Help Jack Get Laid"

It also depends on what they do with the main character. If they do end up having multiple game in Andromeda then it depends if Ryder is the protagonist the whole time like Shepard or if we have a new protagonist each game like in Dragon Age. 

 

If we are Ryder for multiple games it makes sense to have some of the squad stick around, but if we are new then we can fully have a new squad each time. Obviously there are benefits and drawbacks to each way. 

 

I do think they should keep the squad smaller (6-8) because having 12 squad-mates to manage and include in some way from ME 2 to ME 3 was a lot.

Then it wouldn't be a trilogy.

I would much rather have a trilogy than one shots.
And as for the hopeful trilogy, this story so far with the almost no info we have seems like it would make sense for the squad to stick together.

The problem is they don't want you to start off with 7 squadmates. So somehow everyone will have to split up each game-and of everyone splits up then everyone getting back together may seem too movie-magic, so that could be why only a few squadmates return between games
