That said, if returning them is going to take time and development resources away from giving the old characters the story they deserve I am all for sticking the ME2 cast in cameo roles.
This is good point. Liara and Ashley/Kaidan were there first, so it's their right (so to say) to get the most possible (budgetwise) attention. Garrus and Tali got their attention in ME2, Wrex's fans are mostly happy about his cameo.
So any ME2 squadmate should better have a very good reason to apply for full-time job in ME3.
[sarcasm]Right because everyone who played ME used just Ash/Kaidan and Liara in their team....[/sarcasm]
Liara could be left till after Virmire before being recruited and for some people was just as much a cameo in ME as she was in ME2.
That's my case you're talking about. In *my* canon she never met Kaidan. Never had a chance to romance me. Was hilariously pissed off when I told her about everything concerning Protheans' extinction in about 5 minutes. Maybe that's when she decided to quit archaelogy and join the information business.
So why should they be 'forced' this time to have her in their squad if they don't want her?
Yet, I want her a squadmate. She deserves lots of screentime, since she was integral part of hunting down Saren (more so, than even Tali with her petty evidence). She helped Cerberus retrieve my dead body (did all the job in fact on their behalf). She is after the Shadow Broker. So, unless we get a DLC with a lot of screen time for her, she deserves to get it in ME3 more then anyone else. Tali, Garrus got theirs in ME2. Wrex had a good cameo, as I heard, and that's it for him, since he could be virmired quite unlike Ashley/Kaidan Januvian character.
Am not anti-Liara, my main Paragon Shep that I have taken through both games is sticking with her. But my Renegade FemShep, she did the aforementioned leaving her till after Virmire and other than speaking to her about Thane, had nothing else to do with her in ME2.
The way I see it, a simple way they can fix it for everyone is that they can choose (within reason) who to have in their squad in ME3. that way everybody is happy.
There is no way to make everybody happy. There is no way to predict how many percent of people you'll make happy. There is, however, a way to build a good game: don't listen to the fanboys, and make your own thing. Maybe this is the only way not to come up with ideas like the silly&hypnotic planet scanning minigame.
They have proven they can do it with ME2 with the fact you didn't need to recruit Grunt (left in lifepod), Thane, Tali, Samara or Legion (sent to cerberus or not activated).
But I had to recruit Thane, to get the Viper SR! And Tali to get the Tempest SMG. WTF? And I never thought I'll have to keep a private Museun of the Natural History of Tuchanka in my warship's cargohold. And why would TIM not be interested in acquiring the single exibit of that museum, while it had Collector tech in him? This point of yours dimissed.
So it won't be hard for them to setup a similar premise in ME3. That way Shepherd can have the team he/she wants out of the potential squadmate choices.
It would be great you could be an actual spectre for once and kill anyone you dislike anytime. I would require a lot more content of lesser quality in the game. So they'll have to do it the smart way. If some badass awesome ME2 expendable is going to end up on the crew in ME3, he'll better have a very good explanation, why that was absolutely necessary, aside from "fanboys want this".
What if the fanboys someday decide that Reapers should win?Also to go back to your point, what 'very good reason' other than being a potential LI do Ashley, Kaidan and Liara have over the ME2 people to apply for full-time members of Shepherd's squad?
Why people think that both LIs have to be on the crew to pit them against one another for the final showdown? You already fell in love twice, now it's time to chose. No more wooing time needed. Maybe discuss things once more with your ME1 LI, who are practically bound (and almost literally promised by devs) to be on the crew. Maybe your ME2 love interest is dead, then you simply click on the blue line of the dialogue wheen and live happily ever after with your ME1 LI. If ME2 LI is alive, you have a couple talks with your ME1 LI and finally choose the one you want when come across ME2 LI somewhere in the Galaxy, working as NPC / part-time squadmate. That's it. Anything else is inappropriate rip-off of budget / time / diskspace in regard to the main plot, which is "Shepard vs. Reapers" And don't forget about the shooter crowd, that just skipped the mining minigame altogether, hd never played ME1 and will fall asleep if your romantic misgivings and perturbations exceed the five-minute limit.
