I'd be quite pleased if most of the ME1 or ME2 characters returned. Mordin is my favorite though. Hopefully he's not too old by ME3. Also would love to have Wrex back on the team, found him to be much more fun than Grunt.



For new teammates I'd fully support Blasto.

I'l like the team to be mostly ME2 squadmates and the ME1 LI's with a few new faces

[Urazz]

They practically have boxed themselves into limiting the number of new squadmates they can have in ME3 with the big pool of squad members you have in ME2 in addition to the ME1 squad members. I think at the most they can have is 2 without really straining the stories of the other characters and the main plot too much.

Keep the old. Leaves more room for the over all story.

This. We've got enough squadmates. In ME3 all your squadmates should be surviving squadmates from ME2 and possibly ME1.

The thing is, it does not take a genus to have everyone survive the suicide mission.

[breadfan1]

No new squadmates for 3. I'd rather just have a mish mash of who survived ME1 and 2.

[Busomjack]

I want a Batarian squad mate.

Besides, Casey Hudson stated that the reason Liara, Ashley, and Kaidan weren't ME2 squad mates was in order to 'save these important characters' for ME3. If they go back on this claim and make all 10 ME2 squad mates 'important' in ME3 even though all can possibly die, I'll be fuming!

Do you have a source on this?

Excerpt....

Hudson: 

"People are worried that the love interest from the first game is not
recruitable as a squad member in the second game. I think people put
too much emphasis on whether importance to the story is equated to
whether they are a squad member. In Mass Effect 2,
it really is about preparing for a suicide mission. It's true that
people on your squad are most likely going to die in this final
mission. It's not all that hard to make your character survive, but you
can die as a permanent death at the end. I think people will have
trouble keeping everybody alive. That's a lot trickier.

Because we wanted to make sure the love interest can remain an important and
integral part of the story, we want that to continue into the third
game. We have some really important things we want to resolve there.
That means we can't have these characters that were your interests in
this suicide mission potentially getting killed and then blocking off
that opportunity. They're part of the story. They're part of the
ongoing love story but they're not your squad members so that we can be
sure that we can bring that love story to its conclusion."

Yep, BW is expecting at least some of the squad to die in ME2.  Also no where does it make mention that anyone (ME1 or 2) are going to return as squad mates, just that they would "return".  Technically they consider the ME1 group to have "returned" in ME2.

There is going to be a lot of people with hurt rears come ME3.

Bioware have more or less promised that the LI from ME3 are going to be potential LI in ME3, and so far Bioware have not made a single game with a fully developed romance that isn't with a squad mate/team member. Personally I hope that everyone gets a chance to complete whatever romance they want in ME3.



I get a little sad when I see people who got disapointed by ME2, now almost gloating in their hope that everyone else who enjoyed the romances in ME2 will get as disapointed by ME3. I always figured the 'time-out' for the ME1 love interests in ME2 actually was a pretty good thing from the poiint of the story, as there is only so much 'happy-ever-after' you can do with an LI when your past the point when the feelings are laid bare. It's the flirting that is the fun in the romance.



What I read between the lines is that the unhappy people are primarily Liara fans who are angry, and htat this really has nothing to do with the fact Liara is absent from ME2 as a squad mate, it's because Liara as a personality has changed. She is no longer the innocent child from ME1 and in some ways she seems to have become a much darker personality. I think it's great that they do let characters develop and change, and I will delay my verdict on LIara's personality until I have seen what happens in ME3.



I can see that bioware did create a problem with the comics as there seems to be a lot of personality development in Liara that happens outside the games. They need to make sure that Liara fans get a chance to get a sense of continuity in Liara's character development in the games, either with a good catching up in ME3 or a DLC.



This is also a reminder to everyone else. Even if our facourite LI returns as LI and squad mate in ME3, doesn't mean they won't develop and change in ways we haven't predicted. Personally I hope we get some positive surprises, it would be boring with just more of the same.

[GodWood]

Some from ME1, some from ME2 and maybe one or two new ones (Like a batarian and a elcor or something)

[Collider]

First and foremost, I want the old squad mates to return. We spent a lot of time with them and even worked for most of them to survive in the suicide mission. I would hate for them to get downplayed or disappear.

Although, I wouldn't mind having a couple new squad mates - so long as they don't replace any favorites.

I think if they're going to 'introduce new squad mates' it shouldn't be more than one or two. As it's ME:3 it's important they close off the story of Shepard and his crew. They really need to finalise it, rather than do a .hack// and keep the story going long after it's expired.
