Variant
1. Turian. Garrus himself says he is not a good turian. We need a good one. As badass as the Turian Councillor or the Refund Guy shopkeeper. Also, we haven't seen turian biotics yet, and those may have some unique fancy tricks.
2. Asari. All we've got so far is a nerdy virgin and a post-menopause nun. We need one that just decided that ass-shaking is enough and it's merc time! This doesn't mean Liara is off the crew. Two young asari ... mmmm... BTW having a sexy asary in the current squad should provide a "charm" bonus during negotiations (strange how they haven't come up with such a thing yet.)
3. Salarian. Mordin's nephew sounds cool. Joins in to save the Galaxy and get a good reproduction contract.
4. Batarian. Aria's Anto would suffice, but he needs to be able to tell the batarian version of the Skillian Blitz / Torfan / Mindoir story, and about Batarian history, culture, biology -- all the Codex things. Gives "intimidation" bonus to Shepard while in the shore party.
5. Human. Alliance soldier. I mean a real space marine, with no daddy issues of any type. Like the one telling the new recruits about how badass Sir Isaac Newton is. Like Corporal Jenkins, who was lucky enough to live past his first goof in the field and learn from it. Not a love interest. Very formal with Shepard. Not so fond of Ashley/Kaidan though, because of their second-guessing Shepard's Cerberus affiliation, but accepts everything Shepard says with "Aye-aye, suh" and "Suh, yes, suh!"
6. Quarian. Kal'Reegar would be awesome. Too bad he is expendable in ME2. Hence, another working class quarian, not a freaking royalty with racial inferiority complex and a daddy issue that only piled up in ME2.
7. Drell. Uh... Since we've had one already. Feron qualifies for being Liara's buddy able to pilot spacecraft. Possible Shepard's wingman (along with Joker) for fighter space combat, if BioWare makes it (as they should).
8. Trumps out #2, but unlikely, I think. Aria T'Loak herself.
9. Maybe a character from ME:Ascention or ME:Retribution. Kahlee Sanders or reapertech-augmented Paul Grayson. A new quarian squadmate could have had a cameo in Ascention.
Note: New squadmates should have self-sufficient and strong enough personalities not to require an odd
Note 2. Of the old squadmates Liara, Ashley/Kaidan and Legion can join up in the retail version. Garrus, Grunt, Jack, Zaeed as free Day 1 DLC. Others - cameos (if alive) at important plotwise locations. Tali - Migrant fleet (pardoned if previously exiled). Miranda and/or Jacob - Citadel/Omega, working for TIM on a secret mission. Mordin at some STG research facility, leading collector/reaper study. Samara vid-mail: trains new Justicars back in Asari space, warns a renegade Shepard to watch himself / is happy with record of a paragon Shepard. Thane - dead, natural causes.
Note 3. BioWare should give a option to reject any recruitable character, and give an opportunity to fire (a Carnifex at) any of them afterwards.
