Have to disagree on almost every point.

Liara has become an information broker - she wouldn't come to Shepard's aide in ME2, so I doubt she will in ME3. Of course, the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC may change this, presuming Shepard and Liara take the Shadow Broker down in it. I give a 30% chance of return - but ONLY if the Shadow Broker is finished in the new DLC.

Garrus - Featured in two ME games so far. I'd [i]like[/i] to see him return, but I doubt he will. Bioware will most likely wish to see him removed to make way for new characters. 20% chance of return.

Kaiden/Ashley Despite the amount of dialogue needed for certain scenes; Bioware have mentioned that if the player romances Kaidan or Ashley in ME; and then romances a different character in ME2; the second romance may have a negative impact on Kaiden/Ashley's relationship. If these characters aren't selectable squadmates, I strongly believe that they will at least play a very large role in ME3. 80% chance of return.

Mordin Has a large fanbase - AND wasn't a romance option. 40% chance of return.

Wrex - Possibly died on Virmire in ME. Kaidan and Ashley will be complicated enough, but if he's recruitable in ME3, he will need an alternative character. Plus, he's busy on Tuchanka. 2%

Zaeed and Kasumi - I doubt DLC characters will even reappear in ME3, let alone as squadmates. 10%

Tali and Legion - I believe that Legion will definately return. Tali will most likely return. I think a large part of ME3 will be about uniting the Quarians and the Geth for the final battle against the Reapers, and these two characters will be able to play a large part. Even if Tali isn't recruitable for whatever reason, Legion is, really the only possible Geth squadmate; unless some other advanced Geth comes along. He has a pretty large fanbase, as well. 75% Tali return, 90% Legion return.
