I voted other (Aria). She would've been an awesome squadmate. I would've gladly had her rather than EDI or James (my least favorite companions in the entire trilogy).

She likes to be in control. Remember "I am Omega"? Seems like she wouldn't be a good team player. If you're looking purely for power than I'd say she's a good choice.

You're right about her not being a good team player. It must be a common trait for the asari. Just look at the stowaway in MEA. The only reason why she follows Shepard on Omega is because she wants to get back what she had before Cerberus kicked her out. She does has power, but she would do best to keep her temper in control otherwise she will end up in the same position as she was when she went charging head first into the lounge.

Grunt or Zaeed. Those two almost exclusively go everywhere with me. If I don't have both of them, I usually have one of them.

There should have been another A/K scenario but with Aria and Nyreen. Save one and the other dies. In my case save Nyreen and leave Aria behind.

The only reason I wouldn't do that is because Aria is way too powerful of an ally. Even without Omega, she has a lot of resources. Then once she gets it back she's got even more. Nyreen can't offer the same.

I wish Legion was a permanent squad member. Like Javik, Legion has interesting insights in the main story. I wish that would have been expanded. Besides being useful, I love Legion's dry humor.

He could have been part of your squad in the Geth Conscience approach mission: imagine him and either Ashley or Javik talk as they approach the Geth hub. Javik has the memories of what happened in his cycle while she has the experiences of what went down with her squad and now that she is finding out the ones taken out during the hunt for Saren were a minority.

Miranda and Wrex are the only choices here.
Wrex is ty he only ME1 squadmate that isn't in your crew even if it makes sense. Miranda could have had a much larger and more important role in ME3 rather than just repeating her ME2 loyalty mission for the entire game.
If she is being hunted, the safest place for her would be the Normandy. I'm also assuming a romanced Shepard would be plenty willing to help her find her sister. She could have provided valuable knowledge of Cerberus. Maybe have meaningful dialogue with Alliance members. Instead she is all about her useless sister who nobody cares about.
As for the rest, they don't matter. Jack is a terrible person who deserves to die (I always let her die unceremoniously before getting to the base). Her character development into ME3 is asinine and makes no sense. Samara is boring and I hate her hypocrisy. The rest are too unremarkable (Zaeed, Grunt, Kasumi) or are fine as is.

Her character development into ME3 is asinine and makes no sense. Samara is boring and I hate her hypocrisy. The rest are too unremarkable (Zaeed, Grunt, Kasumi) or are fine as is. I think it would have been better if they had done this with Miranda: Switched Miranda with her sister Oriana. Her sister is the one your actually dealing with the whole time. Yes, she is the one you first encounter on the Citadel.
Miranda is the one being held captive -technically playing possum till Shepard gets there...
It would have been a more fitting character arc for the "Miranda" we got in my opinion. Would also fit the dialog of the ME3 "Miranda" better in my opinion.
Would have definitely changed the final encounter -for the better I think:
Shepard: "Oriana?"
Captured Oriana: "No."
*Biotic throws her father out the window. Looks at her sister and Shepard*. Captured Oriana: "I'm Miranda."
*Shepard looks at the one beside him/her that through this is revealed to be Oriana* Oriana: "WHAT?! It was HER plan! Shepard: "Figures." *Miranda walks by -almost ignoring them* Miranda: "Took you both long enough. Lets move!".
It would have added the usual Bioware plot twist I expected...

Very much Miranda. Not only was she my favourite character in ME2 but her whole being limited to a repeat loyalty mission vibe in ME3 felt like a disservice. I very much view having someone who believed in a different version of Cerberus could have been versus the corrupted indocrinated ME3 would have been a really great thing. Some fabulous opportunities for intercrew interactions too.

Miranda, hands down. I always thought she should've been a companion because of how central she felt to 2. She could've potentially improved the Cerberus plot-line greatly. Yep. She could be back in her office calling in favors to figure out why Cerberus is doing what they're doing. At least she wouldn't have to worry about Cerberus chasing her. The one mission she would fit well is Cronos. But again it falls back to the well she could be dead thing. The same could be said about the turian and quarian yet they ended up on the roster even if they were dead in ME2.
