Squad Selection

 * SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD*

In addition to ship upgrades for the gauntlet run, it seems that more than mere "loyalty" is a factor determining whether or not a squad-mate can fulfill their duties on the last mission.

With full loyalty of the crew: My first attempt sent Garrus into the vents, with Samara leading the second group. Garrus died. May be due to Garrus being a poor choice for that assignment (He doesn't seem as tech savvy as his ME1 portrayal), or Samara being a poor choice for squad leader. Miranda's comments about Samara (that she's experienced and disciplined) lead me to think it is the former. Reloaded and sent Legion in the vents (bio say's he's an unparalled hacker) with Garrus as squad leader. Miranda less enthusiastic about Garrus (at least he knows what he's doing). No casulties

Subsequent choices: Samara on the biotic shield. Jacob escorting the crew. Garrus as squad leader again. Legion and Grunt for the final battle. No casulties. So if anyone is looking for a 'safe' setup, this seems to work (although I don't think it matters who you bring to the last battle, so long as they are loyal). I've heard SuZe can do the shield successfully as well, but Jacob cannot (shield drops near the end and a teammate is lost).

It seems that although the game gives you a many options for each assignment (likely a built in redundancy to deal with deaths on the way in), there are good and bad choices, even with full loyalty.

Suspected "Good" choices: Vent job: Legion, Tali, Mordin. Squad leader: Samara, Garrus, Jacob. Biotic shield: SuZe, Samara/Morinth, Miranda(?), Escort: (Maybe same as Squad leader?).

Can anyone confirm/deny?Ocdscale 00:18, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
