No way.
She can be killed in ME1. Making her a squad member (with lots of voiced dialogue lines etc.) would be a waste of resources. I doubt that Bioware will make someone a squad member if that someone can be killed in the previous installments (and, as a result, many players would not even see that squad member).

You just described the entire crew of ME2.

I doubt she will be a squad member in ME 3. The canon decision in ME 1 is that you killed her as far as I know, so I doubt they will use the resources to make a spot for her on the squad in ME 3. If they are going to add a new Asari squadmate in ME 3 then I would rather it be Aria. It would still be cool to have her though. I would like if you could romance someone outside your squad like Shiala or Gianna Parasini since both hinted at a romantic intrest in Shepard.

Half your team from ME2 could be dead, hell even shepard himself could be dead, doesnt mean there not gonna be in ME 3

Sorry, I'd much rather support other NPCs I could see more easily acclimating to Shepard's crew.

Give me some ARIA/ALEENA! Or how bout another greenie, CAPTAIN KIRRAHE!

[Thras]

I vote yes -- a much better asari than Liara -- unique (green & former thorian), pretty and better in combat

[Sphynx118]

I support this! Make it so!

[ManBearPig91]

do want

[Forsakerr]

yeah i would trade Liara for Shiala anytime , would even give 10 thermal clips in the deal , i never really liked Liara anyways , Shiala is way more cute and is more interesting personallity wise , so yep i would like to have her in ME3

I don't think anyone is truly serious about this. It's one of those fun threads of "what if".

It would be a waste of resources not tu use her since she is the only being with the cipher. And Wrex, Kaidan and Ashley can be killed as well - so that's no argument!

And I am truly deadly serious about this!

I love people who confuse canon with default.

Just because she could've been killed doesn't mean its a waste of resource.  A waste would be putting something in and not having anyone experience it. If they put Shiala back in, it's not a waste because you can always go back and have her survive. The gameplay and experience will still be there, but you can choose what to do with it. That's been the Bioware motto for a pretty long time. Plus, don't you think most people will play the game more than once? Just to see what happens? Chances are, most people (like 99%, i'm guessing) probably would get to see Shiala as a squadmate if Bioware implemented her in the game.

Here's my theory. Bioware will have squadmembers from ME1, ME2, and new ones from ME3 all back. They will all be voiced (heavily, not as NPC), but you can only choose some of them to be on your squad. So for each individual playthrough, you won't experience all the voice acting and effort that Bioware put into the game. But if you play it more than once, which they probably expect you to do and which you probably will do, they you will truly comprehend what they've done and the time they put into the game.

It'll be a stretch for the team, but then again, ME2 was far more extensive in voice acting than ME1. Bioware is known for its dialogues- just wait until TOR comes out!!!! I'm not saying they definitely will do this, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did pull something out of their butt and really wowed us.

[Pauravi]

I really don't think she will be, or should be, a squadmate. She was an important character plot-wise, and I like the fact that she appears in ME2 and gets to play a role in the recovery of Zhu's Hope.
Seeing how she reacts to you in ME2 when you help her out, she may have been planned as a "Light Romance", an idea that a dev mentioned in another thread, but that they ultimately dropped. She is an attractive Asari for certain, and a pleasant character to interact with, but I don't see any reason that she needs to become a part of the bigger story. She already has her own role to play in helping the colony, and it seems fulfilling for her.

Minor character from ME1, which has 50% of dying, and BW should invest time in creating team-mate content for her? I think not.

While I don't agree that Shiala will be, or even should be, a squad member, I don't think this line of reasoning is correct, especially with regards to ME3.

If this were actually the case then Liara will be the ONLY member to return in ME3 since she is the only one that has no possibility of dying.  Making every single member of your ME2 squad suddenly leave not only doesn't make any sense story-wise, but it would make your decisions in the last ME2 mission inconsequential.  It has far too big a repercussions for the player's emotional involvement in the story to suddenly get rid of every character that the player has ever cared about, and for no particularly good reason.  It also completely breaks Bioware's stated commitment to making the games a continuous trilogy where the efforts and decisions of the player matter.

Furthermore, such resources would not actually be wasted.  A certain character may not see certain squad members on any given play-through, but there is no reason to suspect that an individual player would not simply make more than one character and eventually experience everything that the game has to offer.  In short, bringing back previous characters only increases the replay value of the game.

Finally, I don't think that recording a few dozen minutes of extra dialogue is really as huge an investment for Bioware as people seem to think that it is.  Bioware will do whatever it takes to make ME3 epic; they will not skimp on little things like the dialogue necessary to bring back favorite characters, since their characters are one of the primary things that makes their games incredible in the first place.

QED.

Wish these Scattered Shiala threads could just be bundled up into one.

[Arab25]

Sure why not? She was cool. I support this.

[DrSpoonbender]

In Mass Effect 2 Bioware has nurtured players’ interest in Shiala from Mass Effect 1. They inflicted her with a mysterious illness (the full consequence may have not been discovered) and have revealed to us Shiala’s budding affection for our hero. I hope that this is an investment Bioware intend to pay out in Mass Effect 3. Thank you.

[Burdokva]

Funny, I had a post "Shiala for Squad Member in Mass Effect" after I first played the game, wen't missing on my HDD's nightmarish folder sctructure....



As far as Asari go, Shiala is one of the most interesting characters - a commando with a few hundred years of experience, who served under one of your biggest enemies in the first Mass Effect and knew both Saren and Sovereign/Nazara. Even though Samara's a great asari character already I think it would be interesting to have her on the Normandy.



I support.

[Antilious]

Here's the thing. It wouldn't be hard for Bioware to do.

As with Samara and Morinth, they can write a role that can be done in similar ways with two characters. Even three.

Could even make her a DLC like Kasumi and Zaeed. Could have put her in ME2 over Zaeed...



There are SOOOOOOOOO many ways ME3 can turn out.

Thane will die, or they will find a miraculous cure.

Mordin may move on to different things as waiting for ME3 may become a bore.

Samara/Morinth have paths they must take, etc, etc.

Lots of roles to be filled...



Short answer, it's very do-able. And she is an awesome Asari.

I'd like to see her included in ME3, but I'd also like to see Gianna and maybe even Garrus' female Turian scout he sparred with... but you know.. I don't know if Shepard has reach... cos she has flexibility.



I wouldn't count her out.

But squadmates all get custom face morphs. Shiala's face is too generic. It's as if it was created with the character creator as opposed to a pre-made face like Sheploo. Has anyone else noticed this?
