Save TWO friends!

I thought about that too, and then I went all "let's get the Alternate Universe out of control!".
That way some people can choose Ash and Kaidan at the same time, or choose people is impossible to take with us because they are present in ME3...

AU! AU! AU! AU!

Saw last line of post in thread ... thought ... "gold, gold, gold, gold" ... then read post in context to quote ... umm, no dude, that's "Alternate Universe" ... not gold.

Slinks out of thread.

You have no issue dumping Shepard and going for me?
I'm nostalgic, not dead.

I'd like to write-in a candidate: Maeko Matsuo, from Noveria. I've always liked her, and it was a bummer that we never heard from her again after ME1--a bummer that has now transformed into something of an opportunity, as her lack of involvement in the later games makes her the perfect candidate for an Andromeda cameo. There'd be no need to retcon anything - not that I'm against all the AU suggestions up-thread , nor necessary retcons in general - and, in fact, it actually makes a whole heap of sense that the corporate-run Andromeda Initiative might recruit some of its security staff from Noveria. (My second-choice is Lorik Qu'inn, by the by.)



I think a lot of people miss a lot of her dialogue - I definitely did my first few playthoughs - 'cause the only way to get to the bulk of it is to double-back after you first talk to Gianna Parasini, but before you leave the docking bay on the way to Anoleis.

EDIT: dalinne beat me to it.   I got so incensed by the sheer injustice of her having been bumped from the poll that I came straight here before reading the rest of the thread.

Well, count me as another vote for Matsuo-sama!
