Considering Aria's resourcefulness, I will accept that she likely got away. She might have even left alongside the mercenary groups when they fleets mobilized or during the second to last mission.

There is also the chance that DLC missions might take place outside of the campaign timeline, even after the reapers are gone. How that will work if Shepherd dies in some people's campaigns would be quite unclear. I've not seen all the endings, so I'm not sure what all can possibly happen to keep this from working.

I want a Batarian squad-mate AND I want Batarians as MP options. I'd like Geth as MP character options as well, even if they sometimes fight Geth. I can accept a lack of believability for more gameplay options in MP.

AND I want a Krogan Adept or Vanguard (maybe without Biotic Charge) to symbolize Battlemasters.
