To be fair to everyone, none of this is an exact science. We want you to be excited about the game, but revealing some of the information being asked for would simply ruin parts of the game for you. If I went insane and starting telling everyone in detail what happens to Wrex, Tali, Garrus or Ashley etc, then I think the result would be overwhelming anger.
I love the passion, negative and positive that everyone here brings. When I read the forums I get feedback and even negative feedback, points to passion on a particular subject. That fact in one day a nineteen page post on party members appeared while I was working means we did something right on ME1.
Part of the magic of ME2 will be the waiting and searching for those moments where you get to reunite with your old shipmates. But while you are searching you will also meet some new comrades who we hope will generate the same amount of passion.
...
We have not forgotten about the squad members from ME1. Whatever role surviving ME1 squad members play in ME2, they will be treated with respect. We want people to look at where those followers are now and say, "Yep, that's what they'd do."
- In some cases, it is possible that squad members from ME1 could end up in your ME2 squad. Again, we're trying to approach this with respect for the characters. Nobody is being clumsily shoehorned in or casually written out. All surviving squad members are at least present as NPCs with important story roles.
- BioWare is not currently giving details about which squad members may possibly join up with Shepard. We hope that part of the joy of ME2 for people who played the first game is seeing what has happened to people you cared about over the last two years, and we don't want to spoil that.
