If / When there is a sequel, they will almost certainly follow the formula of keeping a couple of companions and making the rest conveniently unavailable as companions. So what are some good ways to get rid of each?
Drack - He's going to be my most controversial...so he's first. Drack should die. Now before you get out the pitchforks and torches, I love the old man and would miss him, but he's old, even for a Krogan. I think we should have a bring down the house tear jerking scene of Drack dying of old age, something almost unheard of for a Krogan, he should be surrounded by Kesh, Vorn, the great grand kids and the Tempest crew. Yes, I think it should be a peaceful death on the Nexus or on Elaadan. I know many would opt for the "heroic sacrifice" death, but that is beyond cliche.
Peebee - She could be off studying Prothean Remnant ruins with Dr Aridani or another team.
Cora - She couldn't really stay with Ryder because Alec chose Ryder over her as the replacement pathfinder. She could be with the Asari training a new generation of Huntresses to augment security and Apex.
Liam - He's an easy one, creating a HUSTL group to aid colonial operations.
Jaal - He's a harder one, maybe leading a branch of the resistance and Evfra's second in command. Helping clear remaining Kett after the death of the Archon.
Vetra - She's another that's a bit of a challenge, maybe have her acting as a liaison dealing with trade with Kadara and whomever you left in charge there.

Cora will probably want to lead her own team to prove to herself she can be a great leader like you or your dad.
Liam said he wants to rebuild something similar to his old group back in the Milky Way so he could do that
Jaal could just be fighting Kett somewhere else.
Vetra is probably dealing with her annoying sister.
The only companion I could see staying with Ryder is Peebee honestly. You the only one who can option Remnant vaults.

Just have them all in the med bay on the Nexus, so you can go and visit them occasionally. Jaal - shot by his sister (cause she is trigger happy) Cora - infection from cut on her finger that went septic when she didn't get it treated...likely from a rose-thorn Liam - flea bite from the stinky couch he brought = plague...or soccer ball to the nads = exploding testicles Peebee - space racoon bite Vetra - mandibles caught in helmet, ripped off, requires replacement and donor Drack - dramatic death scene Lexi - treatment for raging alchoholism Suvi - finally ate something she shouldn't have Gil - everybody wants his sperm, so he can't leave the med bay Kallo stays with me!

Having the same characters over and over would be boring as crap and make any sequel feel like a DLC. Most people aren't afraid of change. Also need I remind you (again) how many great companions we would have missed if they stuck with the same ones from ME 1-3?

beyond cliche is only your only opinion, other peolpe inthe galaxy think different, heroic death for krogan is the best way to go, but i want Drack to stay
PB can go study or whatever, Liam can be in another human team or whatever, Jaal can go back to his planet
Cora, Vetra and Drack can be in the new game, I like them
but we don't even know if there ill be another game and what kind of game will be, if sequel , new story, galaxy, everything new, etc too early to try to foresee the future

Or in the Lord of the Rings how Aragon and Legolas and Gimli all just disappeared without a trace halfway through. I totally see it now.

Also need I remind you (again) how many great companions we would have missed if they stuck with the same ones from ME 1-3? I would honestly keep this squad but add a member or two in the next game or DLC. I would add a Quarian and/or a new alien to the team. I really like the current team we have and it would great to see them grow together in another game. If I had to get rid of someone it would probably be Drack tho. Drack is my favorite squadmate but I wouldn't mind if they gave him a big sendoff or he just flat out retired because of Lexi.

Drack, dieing of old age? Kind of fitting. Kept killing anyone in his way until there simply was noone left to stand againist him. Thus died of old age, no enemy to give him a warrior's death.

But, I dunno, why not go over the the Character and Romance forum and ask them?

Most of the Crew, with exception of the pilot, doctor and the science lady have their own agenda and priority. It wouldn't require any contrivance for them to leave the ship.

Yep I guess a part of our crew will be met occasionally if MEA receives sequels. The most obvious would be the non humans, as they came during the adventure in MEA and could go as easily do their things, but really, anyone could leave. As for Drack, yep, pretty obviously he is in first line if BW decides to kill some of its characters. emotionaly speaking, the public would be triggered to it as we already know his time is coming, and some discussions have already happened on the subject.
As for a "heroic death", I do agree it would be very cliche, but this has never stopped any script writer in the past, at the end, we love our cliches I think. But still I think it might be in this case more interresting if it comes from Drack himself, feeling his last strengh is leaving him, and asking Ryder to accompagny him to go through one last "good fight", some dark loyalty mission in a way. If written well, this mission in which we know from the start Drack will go could be emotionaly very strong.

With a new escape pod on the tempest, Ryder lures peepee into the pod and launches it while traveling in space. The asari is never heard from again
Drack realizing he is near the end, enters the arena to fight several fiends. He dies after defeating a few of them
Cora being so obsessed with the asari, leaves the tempest to join a commando unit
Liam locks himself in a container. He is found days later dead
Vetra learns her sister tried to stop mercs from kidnapping a few colonists, but ended up being killed. Vetra left the tempest for an unknown location
Jaal realizing that none of the squadmates remain, heads back to Aya to be with the resistance

Depends on your point of view I guess. If they don't bring the crew back there really isn't much point in bringing the Ryder's back either. If they aren't going to do a continuous story I'd rather see them just time jump ahead a couple hundred years so we can see the results of the Atmo Processors on the worlds we colonized and see some cool new Milky Way and Angaran cities. In which case there really isn't any need to explain away the old crew.

The Tempest and its entire crew were abducted by the Remnant and it's up to YOU to find out what happened to them!
And then in MEA3 we return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Oh, my plan for Drack, independently of what MEA does, is that I entrust him with leading a team of hand-picked Krogans to settle New Tuchanka (Eladeen, whatever)… Gil created a portable hacking tool for Vaults (thanks, Gil) and… yeah, they have rations, so they can cope. They are Krogans, blah-blah-blah. Suvi is sent to help too. She likes licking rocks, and New Tuchanka has a lot of rocks.
The other five… well, it’s just five, so adding a couple more is not going to hurt. I am sure I can borrow a potted plant from Cora to replace Suvi for all the important things she does around the ship. It might even have the same sort of deeply spiritual nature. Except he will stay blissfully silent about it.

The collectors could have just as easily been a spin-off where you had a choice to play as either Miranda or Jacob and nothing about the game would really have changed. The story Shepard started in ME1 and was integral to didn't really come back around again till ME3, at which point they brought the old crew back oddly enough.

There is no point in bringing back Shepard unless they make a prequel to Mass Effect 1, besides I likely wouldn't like the MET as much if they left Shepard and his crew story at Mass Effect 1. The one thing I hate about Dragon Age is we get a new protagonist every game. If I could still play as my Grey Warden or my Inquisitor in the next game I would in a heartbeat.
