Revelations said:Highly doubt that. Some of those characters are main stays otherwise what would be the significant point of the choices you made to kill them off or keep them alive? I bet Liara returns, Tali, Wrex and either Ashley/Kaden.
While I hope for this to happen, I have a very strong feeling that this won't happen.
HK-47 is right, returning party members creates some very particular problems that I'm just not sure Bioware and EA has it in them to solve. Lets not forget the EA factor, my guess is that EA is going to want this on PS3 somehow..and thats probably one of the main reasons they are already being wishy washy on the Shepard character, and it's another reason why I don't expect them to emphasize the first game TOO much.
For instance, if Ashley comes back, and you romanced Ashley in the first game, then I would assume that you get to continue this relationship in the second game? If so, does this mean that for those characters that are continuing their Ashley relationship, that new romance subplots will be off limits? Or will Bioware write dialogue that allows you to cheat on whoever you chose as your significant other? Keep in mind that this is a TRILOGY, so basically, lets assume that half the gamers kill Ashley in the first game, and the other half kill Kaiden...Bioware, either way, is going to have to write both scenario's into their story. This doesn't even take into account the other choices that you make during the game, nor the things that could happen in ME2 (What if Ashley/Kaiden can die in EITHER game...that would essentially leave Bioware having to write the third game with either each character alive, or with neither alive).
There is other problems, but I'm not going to get redundant about it.
I would LOVE for ME to end up as a trilogy where you forged bonds and friendships, that you were able to influence, and that continued and built upon each other until the end of the series. But I'm not going to get my hopes up for it.
