Lol looking at all these character centric threads I would say Bioware have their work cut out for them....They don't treat even one character with the tender care the fans demand and they are going to have thousands rioting at their doorstep. (Whoever writes for Tali especially should worry for their life
)
I am anticipating Bioware taking 8 years to create ME3 with every possibility there can be, all the different characters who have survived, new characters to be introduced, creating a story ending that will live up to the epic ending we are all anticipating.
My hope is that we do not have squad mates forced on us in ME3. I hope
Bioware allows us to truly create our own team. Make it possible to
recruit any surviving characters from ME1 and ME2...but make it possible
that they could turn you down depending on choices you made in the
first 2.
Take Ash for example. Give us the chance to find her
in ME3 and recruit her...if you stayed loyal to her and destroyed the
Collector base and basically told TIM to go screw himself then she joins
you. The connection between you is still there but you have to work to
rebuild the relationship...2 years is a long time after all. BUT, if
you cooperated with Cerberus and TIM, then she walks and refuses to
join.
Also, let us do our own research on possible new squad
members and decide who to go recruit. The possibilites would be nearly
endless and it would give every player a chance to personalize their
squad. This is beneficial for two reason:
1) Would allow us to
build our squad to fit our personal play style.
2) Would create a
closer connection to our squad members, causing us to care a great deal
about each and every one of them.
Well, firstly, Bioware have said they are planning to take about the same time between ME2 and ME3 as they did between ME1 and ME2. So, about 2 years. Even if they hadn't said that, 3 to 4 years is typically the longest games are developed for - beyond this point there lies the dangerous Duke Nuke'm Forever zone of vapourware.
Now, as to recruitment... I have to ask, why is it such a big issue to you? All Bioware games have you recruit people without giving you a real say - about the only times you get a choice is in cases like Sten in Dragon Age where you can choose to leave him to die.
That said, why does it matter if they are in your team or not? You can only ever take out 2 characters at once, so its not like you have to put up with them if you hate a character's guts.
