Who will return in Mass Effect 3? There's characters that have shown their loyalty to Shepard, and there's those that no one can be sure about. Let's take a look at everyone:


Jack: Doesn't seem to have anywhere else to go. If you choose to blow up the Collector base/resign from Cerberus, this may cause her to stay in the third game, because of how much she dislikes Cerberus.

Thane: Probably won't be returning because of his Kepral's syndrome. Remember, he's only got 8-12 months left on his life expectency... but will Kolyak possibly be a new squad member?

Jacob and Miranda: They were both on your team from the beginning, and are dedicated crew members of the Normandy. Miranda even directly states her resignation from Cerberus to the Illusive Man if she's in your squad when you defy his orders to take the Collector Base for your own. Most likely will return.

Grunt: A bit mixed... The email the Shaman sent you after his loyalty mission makes it a bit in between. Will Grunt return to Tuchanka, or continue on the mission? Him and Wrex could help very well with getting Clan Urdnot to help fight the Reapers. Most likely will return.

Garrus: He doesn't have much anywhere else to go either. He's already quit C-Sec, and I doubt he would go back to the freelance gang fighting business after what happened with Sidonis. Plus, he's BA. You can't have a Mass Effect game without Garrus.

Mordin: Not sure. Is he going to return to his clinic? I can't really say. But his scientific knowledge would really help with fighting the Reapers directly. Plus, he's got a huge fan following because of his fast speaking and hilarious conversations. I personally hope he returns, but am not positive if he will.

Tali: She left her service with the Migrant Fleet to re-join Shepard, and with all of those recordings she left on Haestrom, you can see that she's more comfortable doing missions with Shepard ("I wish Shepard were here."), and is inspired by Shepard also (how she wanted to use the charges to clear the debirs and compared it to how Shepard used a laser to clear some in the first game). Tali could also really help with getting the Migrant Fleet to face the Reapers with Shepard. Most likely will be returning.

Samara: After the suicide mission, if you speak to Samara, she says that she will stand by your side until the Reapers are defeated. Definitely returning.

Legion: The conversations you have with him show that he is very devoted to stopping the Reapers ("Old Machines" as he calls them), and his loyalty mission may serve towards getting the Heretics to assist you in facing the Reapers, that is, if you're a Paragon.

Zaeed: I'm not sure about this guy. The lack of conversations with him doesn't really provide much evidence on his views or beliefs. Also, the fact that he shows he's rather hot-headed during his Loyalty mission may put a fault between him and Shepard. I'm not sure he'll be returning.



What do you guys think? Any thoughts? Any information that I missed? Most of the new characters were awesome, so I really hope a lot of these people return.

Shepard will return in ME3, that's the only info i or anyone can garuntee is true.

[Vamp44]

Well..seeing as Miranda is so difficult to kill apparently..

besides Shepard... there's enough evidence to at least make an educated guess.

I've actually thought about this a little bit.

Tali and Garrus have been with you for two games already.  I'd say that they're in.

Zaeed was only there because he had a contract with Cerberus.  That contract has been fulfilled, so I'd say he's off to the next job.  Gone.

Mordin seems to really enjoy working in the high-tech lab on the Normandy, surrounded by an elite team like he was on his task force.  And he's a popular character.  I could easily see him staying on for ME3.

Grunt says you're his battlemaster, so there's reason enough to keep him around.  I would bet his status hinges on his popularity in this game.

Miranda was a featured character in the promotion of ME2, has more direct interaction with the main plot (dialogue-wise) than anyone else except for Shepard and TIM, and she has a decent fanbase.  She probably stays.

I would think that Jacob is gone.  He never really fit in with the elite team in ME2 in my mind; he's just some mid-level Cerberus dude who's along for the ride because he happened to be there in your into mission.  He was a rather boring character without a huge fanbase.

Jack and Legion are wildcards to me.  Legion doesn't even have to be recruited, and has some goals of his own (the Geth being isolated from the rest of the sentient races in the galaxy).  Jack would prefer to be far away from Cerberus unless you get her loyalty.  I could see them being pushed to NPCs in ME3, even though they're both great characters.

I always thoght that Samara would go her own way, since she's been a loner for hundreds of years.  Figured she had some kind of monastic duties to return to.  But I didn't get the Samara dialogue that you reference, so she may be back.

Thane's Kerpal syndrome doesn't bode well for him.  I'd be surprised if he returned.

Yeah for that Samara dialogue, you have to talk to her after you finish the Suicide mission, but I know for a fact that she says it. She also says that she fought a Spectre once... Nihlus actually.

And again, I'd think that Jack's staying would be based on the choices made at the end of the Suicide Mission (the resignation of Cerberus, defying the Illusive Man, etc.) I personally didn't really think Jacob would return either, but if Miranda stays, I believe he would stay too.

Samara's definitely returning.

[SurfaceBeneath]

Everyone is returning.

How can you be sure? I doubt Thane will. Kepral's Syndrome... remember?

[RhythmlessNinja]

Not the Turian Councilor I'll tell you that much. I'll see to it that he's dead.



on another note, Saren :>

Samara seems less likely to return, to me. She'll be off doing her Justicar thing. What she says to Shepard is 'if you call for me, I will come'... that doesn't necessarily mean she will be a squadmate. Also, remember that you can only get that dialogue if you're a Paragon, so having her recruitable for only Paragons wouldn't really be fair, and it wouldn't make much sense for her to return as a squadmate if you were straight up Renegade.

[Unato]

there's already a bio engineering program running or something to cure it, he just says he prob won't see it to fruition, if some medical break through occurs from the hanar it's possible for him to return

most of the crew to return if you talk to them post game but since ME1 and ME2 has been stand alone I see no reason ME 3 won't and if you bring back everyone from before it does seem kinda wtf? I dunno, nevermind the variables that's involved with the whole dying thing ( I have a game where only grunt and mir survived )

The choices you make will affect ME3.... of course Paragons will be able to keep the Justicar... maybe renegades will lose Samara and keep Zaeed? Who knows.

[Argent Csero]

The characters in ME2 were great for the most part. But I still want some new characters for ME3.

Yeah, but there's only a slim chance that will happen. If it doesn't, I'm pretty sure Kolyak will replace him.

[PiercedMonk]

As a squadmembers? None of them. Any of the 'ME 2' characters can die during the suicide run, so, logistically, it doesn't make sense for them to play anything other than NPC roles in 'ME 3', just like Wrex, Ashley and Kaidan.



Which isn't to say they can't have important roles in 'ME 3' if they do surivive. Just, it will, at best, be important NPC roles.



There's a middling to good chance of Liara being a squadmate, though.

Well, you have to think. The Reapers are literally on the doorstep of the Milky Way galaxy. Shepard's not going to have time to go through new dossiers.

[cBselfmonkey]

We dont know how soon after ME:2 that ME:3 will take place. If its something small, think like afew weeks to a couple months, then theres no reason Thane cant still be around.

Actually, if all of your squadmates die during the suicide mission, then Shepard dies too. Bioware has said that if this happens, the player will make a whole new Shepard in ME3. I would say that the "everyone dies" ending is non-canon.

[ShadyKat]

I say everyone who doesn't die on the suicide mission, with the returns of Kaidan/Ash Liara and Wrex(If he lives). Plus throw in 2-3 new squad mates.



So the more people that you make sure live, will reward in in ME3 with more squad mates and content.

[Atmosfear3]

Considering it is possible to kill your entire crew minus Joker, I'd wager its possible to go into ME3 with absolutely none of the ME2 cast returning except Shepard.



My speculation does open up a whole new can of worms though. If your entire crew can die, wouldn't that mean that the current cast, assuming they survived in your playthrough, would all just be cameos in ME3? If the cast returns as playable squadmates, wouldn't Bioware have to include a completely new cast with their own missions and the old cast plus their missions as well? Four disk game anyone?

[21603]

Jacob and Miranda have a thing...I hope Miranda comes back, Jacob I don't care. Legion is an ally, so even if he didn't come back as a team member the Geth (if you played it that way) are going to be a large part of your force and Legion is their spokes thingy...
