User blog comment:Arbington/What Garrus in ME3 Means.../@comment-730941-20110411123839

One thing though:

How would it work if some players had Garrus (or whichever squadmates end up being part of Shepard's squad) die in ME2?

Would they just have a permanent gap in their squad? Have less combat firepower? It's a tricky conundrum to think about.

Not that I'm against this, at all, I'm just honestly wondering how it's all going to work.
