User blog comment:LazyCloud/ME1 was for RPG fans, ME2 was for shooter fans, what's ME3 for?/@comment-2047754-20100508015146

Exactly. With all the characters in mass effect now, there are plenty of stories to add. Characters should have more than one individual mission to them. It always seemed odd to me that you have a meeting room on the Normandy with enough chairs for everyone, and yet only two or three people are in it at a time.

Well, Im pretty sure we're not getting Ash back. She makes it clear she's Alliance through and through when you run into her, so unless you rejoin the Alliance in ME3, I don't think she'll be there. Garrus is a definite though. Honestly though, I won't mind much who they do and don't bring back as long as Tali is there.
