    I'm positive this has been discussed, but I don't remember, or didn't see the conclusion:

    Can you complete ME2 with just Zaeed alive?

    Yep, if you get very VERY lucky

    or unlucky depending how you look at it.

    But why would you want to? I just about killed Zaeed on purpose on my playthrough. Someone had to be a distraction after all.

    Zaeed was awesome, I don't know what's wrong with you.

    Have you ever considered that maybe you hate fun?

    which was disappointing

    Jesus fucking Christ it's a fucking fetus you dumbfuck. It'll keep growing big and strong on the genetic goo of humans until it is then encased in a mechanical shell that will combine the Reaper squidiness with some human characteristics. Fuck.

    That geth shotgun is awesome for a vanguard. I love precharging it and taking out a guy in 1 shot after a charge.

    I'm actually curious how Mass Effect 3 will take into account your decisions in the previous games.

    I mean.. what the hell WILL happen if you kill off everyone but Zaeed or party member of your choice?

    Bioware either has a BIG job ahead of them programming and designing all the permutations of the choices, or they can just be lazy and give you a whole new team or wipe out the effects of your choices in the previous games.

    Are you serious

    Zaeed is the coolest dude

    I would love to add another epic story to his life of epic stories.

    "One time I saved the galaxy with the craziest goddamn team of humans and aliens you ever did see. Killed the big bad with the last bullet left in ol' Jessie here. I was the only one to make it out of that base alive."

    You wont be able to import a game if you have a full wipe. Since Shepard is needed to tell his story

    Seriously, how did the baby Reaper not make sense in the plot? You have machine gods, space magic, and faster-than-light travel. Is using people to make a genetic/machine hybrid immortal really that much of a stretch?

    And Zaeed is awesome.

    I sincerely hope that if you romanced Tali, she falls deathly ill and is bedridden for the entirety of ME3

    I want a spin-off game that is us as Zaeed playing through his greatest adventures. Also, if Garrus isn't the #1 party member everyone deserves to BURN.

    They should make an HBO miniseries starring Zaeed & Jessie touring the galaxy, murdering countless aliens, and finding love with each other.

    The predictions for character popularity across all games are:

    1. Tali
    2. Garrus
    3. Mordin
    4. Wrex
    5. Liara
    6. Legion
    7. Thane
    8. Zaeed
    9. Miranda
    10. Jack
    11. Grunt
    12. Samara/Morinth
    13. Jacob
    14. Kasumi
    15. Ashley
    16. Kaiden

    Not my personal feelings, but how I would expect them to come in if Bioware is polling character popularity across all games.

    It tracks who people took on missions, so Miranda is going to be way the hell up there, because of her passive bonuses + warp + overload. Poor Jack and Jacob are probably hanging around near the bottom.

    My list would look like

    1. Garrus
    2. Mordin

    Everyone else I used for their loyalty mission and that was it. Except maybe Thane. He got a little use. And Zaeed at the beginning.

    Are we doing a list thing now? A popularity contest? I was really bad at these back in high school but I guess I'm not an option in this one so I can play without getting burned:

    1. Wrex
    2. Garrus
    3. Mordin
    4. Legion
    5. Tali
    6. Thane
    7. Grunt
    8. Kaidan
    9. Kasumi
    10. Jacob
    11. Samara/Morinth
    12. Jack
    13. Miranda
    14. Zaeed
    15. Liara
    16. Ashley

    I guess that turned out to be a pretty sexist list with all the women stuck near the bottom. So hey, high school again, I guess. Wooo. I feel like Zaeed and to a lesser extent Kasumi get a little shafted because as DLC characters their interactions with you outside of their missions are a little one-sided, what with Shepard trying out the whole mime impression or whatever the excuse is.

    I don't like Zaeed at all and I hope he doesn't come back for ME3.

    Conversely, I find Kasumi a really fun character and want her back as a baseline squad member in ME3.

    I'd think using their Cerberus tracking system thing to monitor squadmate usage would would be more indicative of utility, rather than their popularity.

    Kasumi should be near the top, simply because she's awesome. Why can't more teammates be like her? Well adjusted, funny, and fun to hang out with.

    I doubt they're just tracking usage statistics. Otherwise they'll conclude that no one likes Legion, because you get the best character in the entire game when the game is almost over (yeah, please don't do this again by the way BioWare, you have to sacrifice your crew if you want to get all the dialogue with him, which is a stupid choice to have to make).
