I've been thinking:
I have left the ME3 squad discussions behind, but... As I keep stumbling upon these retarded "Zaeed's DLC, no chance he is coming back" statements, I need to do some venting as to why they are retarded.
Let's assume BioWare decides to do the wrong thing and waste resources on the ME2 squadmates' extensive comeback, instead of making new characters directrly connected to the plot. Then Zaeed is #1 candidate! Why? Precisely due to his being DLC! Simple commercial reasons. With the ME3 release BioWare/EA will want to encourage new customers (yeah, the slow ones, who still don't know what Mass Effect is, and are going to buy ME3 first) to buy ME1 and ME2 as well. And, naturally, they will want to encourage them to buy it new. How? By making the DLC matter more!
Oh yes, the WRONG thing to do would be to bring back all the developed and much-loved characters. Wait... what? I realize how difficult it would be to make most of the squad-mates come back as squad mates, but there is really no excuse. Most fans would be extremely disappointed if most of the squad-mates weren't back in the new game.
Anyway, yes Zaheed is awesome, and probably my favorite human squad-mate in the game. Jacob and Kaidan are bland, Miranda is a ****, and Ashley is the only other human I think is a very good character.
This has probably been mentioned already, but did you know you can kill Zaheed in his loyalty mission? If you do it after the Suicide mission and chose to save the workers, you can leave him to burn in the fire. Now I'm really excited about that, as he is too awesome to die that way and is sure to be hunting you down in ME 3!
