Here what happened through my 2nd play through. Using a male Shepard (have to play Mass Effect1 with him before putting him through Mass Effect2 following mostly the Paragon path through the two game ) Vanguard and I done better but lost a team member.

Part 1

Unlocking Doors: Tali
Alternate Squad leader: Garrus. 
I had Jack and Grunt

Lost no-one.


Part 2

Alternate Squad leader: Miranda
Escort: Mordin
I had Zaeed, Grunt and Jack done the shielding.

No-one dies.

Part 3TBF
I had Zaeed and Grunt.

Lost Zaeed

I had to keep him on a short leash because I failed his quest by rescuing the slaves. I though I was going to loose Grunt because he nearly fell from the platform.

In Mass Effect1 I played my male Shepard as a Infiltrator.
In Mass Effect2 I played my male Shepard as a Vanguard.

I didn't read all the posts but a friend of mine lost Legion after the vent while he was trying to close the door. The only upgrades he hadn't gotten where the Normandy Med-Bay upgrade (facial reconstruction) and the Bypass double time.



Can anyone confirm that NOT having one of these upgrades gets Legion/ Tali killed after the vent sequence? My pal was pretty beat down after the whole phail incident.

Those upgrages have nothing to do with the survival of any team members.  There are only 3 upgrades you need for that...upgraded ship armor, shields, and the thannix cannon.  Legion died while closing the doors because of your friends decision regarding who led the team.  Only Miranda, Jacob, or Garrus can be team leader for the 1st and second squads.  You pick someone else for that assignment and you will lose someone while closing the door.

He was using Samara as squad leader in the first part so I guess that's what got him pwnd.



Okie man, you have his thanks. The conclusion he had come to was the the lack of Bypass upgrade had gotten his Legion killed. He hadn't told me he was using Samara as squad leader.

Part 1

Unlocking Doors: Jacob
Alternate Squad leader: Jack
I used Tali and Garrus
Lost Jacob


Part 2

Alternate Squad leader: Zaeed
Escort: Grunt
I used Garrus and Tali while Samara biotic shielded

Zaeed died

Part 3TBF
I used Tali and Garrus

Lost Mordin


Totally pissed off.  All of my characters were loyal but for example Zaeed didn't get his kill.  I also freed the workers.  I'm just going to replay again and put people who I have talked to quite a bit and also feel their quests went well.  My team might not be my normal team but at least they might survive then.  I romanced Tali and it would have really pissed me off if I lost her.  I was afraid to use her as the tech but I guess I'll try.

Second try:

Part 1

Unlocking Doors: Tali
Alternate Squad leader: Mirranda
I used Mordin Garrus

Part 2

Alternate Squad leader: Garrus
Escort: Zaeed
I used Grunt and Mordin while Samara biotic shielded

Part 3TBF
I used Jack and Mordin

No characters lost and totally un-pissed off

Thread necromancy, cool bro.

Part 1

Unlocking Doors: Tali
Alternate Squad leader: Jacob
I took Miranda and Thane, didn't lose anyone


Part 2

Alternate Squad leader: Jacob again
Escort: Garrus
Samara kept the biotic bubble up; Miranda, Tali with me.

Again, no one died.

Boss Fight
Miranda and Tali again, just because things had been going well. Delivered a big can of whoopass to the Human Reaper and blew the place sky high.

Everyone made it out.


I sort of cheated a little, as Thane was assigned vent-crawler (small, confined space? Good for a highly-trained assassin...? Or not..) and took a shot to the face, but I actually re-loaded before the final boss fight, so from a certain point of view it never really "happened"
Also, I was sure to get all the ship upgrades and loyalties (except Legion) beforehand. Legion's loyalty quest was the only thing I had "time" for between IFF extraction and installation.


Related and you've probably seen it, but still hilarious:

Thanks for bringing this back when there is a stickied thread on the subject with a full guide and developer explanations for all the choices.

Your welcome, and I guess we'll all keep bumping it then.

First playthrough as a Sentinel few months back, Tali was either not loyal or I didn't get her Normandy Upgrades, and was killed when the Normandy's upgrades were called into action



I had picked Thane in the vents, Garrus as team leader. Thane landed one hell of a last seizure and ate a rocket.



Jacob as biotic, Mordin as Escort, Samara(!!) as 2nd team leader, Grunt and Miranda on my squad.

Grunt bit the dust at the end of the run.



Lost Miranda to the earlier fight with Jack. Lost... the whole crew too. I kept the base.

---------------------------------------------------



Now on my 2nd playthrough. I scoured the whole galaxy for enough paragon points to save Tali from exile. Satisfaction.

To defuse the fight between Tali and Legion. Done.

You've probably guessed it.. I haven't done Jack's loyalty mission yet.. Looks like Chakwas might be frying my ass later on.

But heh, at least I didn't "****** away" any of the strings the Admiral from '24' had pulled.

Did you all of that in your first playthrough deliberately? I think it's pretty rare to lose that many characters.



And why of all biotics pick Jacob?

Believe it or not, I didn't pay all that much attention to who was what on the team then in terms of Tech, biotic,
hybrid. It was more Justicar, Assassin, Quarian, Convict.

Also, I thought the 'Tech' thing was a trick question and went for the guy who'd crawled in vents before.

Samara as team leader was the genuine fail; as a Justicar she worked alone.
