This wins the award for the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

This was brought up awhile back(not sure if this was a Dev or PR person from BioWare).

- Mass Effect 3 isn't about gaining new Squad members. It's about bring all the races together to fight the Reapers.

If Cerberus is Truly out for Blood on Shepard. Jacob & Miranda will have a much bigger role. Their loyalty is to Shepard. It also means we might be seeing a Fight between Shepard & Kai Leng.

-------------

I seriously have doubts BioWare would give us a Brand New Squad of 12. We may get two or three new members with a Mix of Mass Effect 1 & 2 Squad members.

The Lead Writer of Mass Effect 3 said "We know who Popular characters are & who the fans want back."

I think there'll be just enough new characters to give you some choice if you killed everybody.

I'm also thinking some ME 2 Squad members will be turned into NPC's on the Normandy.

I really hope Shepard can put a bullet in the Illusive Man Head. Miranda & Jacob will help Shepard infiltrate Cerberus Base, Where The Illusive Man is.

If something like that happens and you sent Legion to the Illusive Man it'd be cool if he was there.

Would you consider that a quality win or a loss?

Going be interesting to see where legion would be if you sent him to Cerberus.

All My Playthroughs he is alive & converted the other Geth to his teachings.

I think Legion is the key to making Peace with the Quarians and taking back their Home World.

Here's a prediction: After defeating the Reaper threat, Shepard and the Alliance go all out and kill the Illusive Man.

Mark my words.

The Reapers will the the Main Threat & defeating them(if you get the good outcome) will be the last thing you do.

Cerberus Plot might be ending around 65% to 75% point of the game. 45% to 55% point of the game will most likely be Shepard going head to Head with Kai Leng.

It seems the Alliance will be giving you Intel that will help you track down the illusive man. It would than be Shepard, Miranda & Jacob Hunting down The illusive Man & Destroying Cerberus(or atlease the Lazarus Cell).

I just hope the deal with Love Interests properly. Not just put it on the backburner.

Liara & Shepard fulling what they said at the End of Lair of the Shadow Broker.

Miranda would be Finding a Cure or a Fix for Miranda so she can have Children(since she wants to have Children).

Thane would be finding a Cure for his illness so he can live( if he is still alive). I know the Actor who voiced him said EA & BioWare has yet to contact him about doing voice work(yet?).

Tali would be trying to find a Home World for her People. Since Cross Race breeding is not possible with Humans & Quarians.

Samara(Semi-Romance) my best guess is trying to convince her to quit the justicar Order & to be With Shepard.

Ashley, Jacob, Kelly(She is considered a Semi-Romance), Garrus, Kaiden really don't have Major issues with them.

Wonder who the new Love Interests will be? Most likely it be James Sanders & a unannounced Female(maybe Kahlee Sanders or Gillian Grayson).

Going in a final mission against Cerberus after the Reaper threat is neutralized would be a very artistic finale.

Think of the end of Quantum of Solace where Bond, after dealing with Dominic Greene, goes to Russia to capture the bastard who tricked Vesper Lynd into helping Quantum.
