I'd have loved to see more of Gianna Parasini. Maybe work with her on a mission to retrieve some tech from Noveria before the Reapers overtake the place.

Kal'Reegar too -- he should have been at least a guest character in the quarian missions. Where else is he going to be, realistically, besides with the flotilla fighting the geth?

Emily Wong aboard the Normandy would also have made good sense -- maybe. Allers is pitched as a specialist in war reporting, which might make her better suited. We should at least have seen Emily, though. I'd have liked the option to subscribe to her news reports, and get emails aboard the Normandy telling me about how things are going back at the Citadel.

Shiala ... yeah, I'd have liked to see her too, but at least she and the Feros colonists show up as a war asset and we get an email. That's something, right? An optional romance subplot with her, though, is certainly something that was hinted at based on her sidequest on Illium in ME2.

They did a lot in ME3, but there was so much more they could have done. I'd have been in favor of scrapping a lot of the new content if necessary in order to bring in the old characters -- for instance, if I had to choose, I'd pick Emily Wong and delete Allers from the game entirely. Not that I don't like Allers, I'd just rather see the game acknowledge its past.
