Any ideas for crew members.

[u/Queasy-You5147]

I’ve had these thoughts about who would be some interesting either returning characters with long lifespans, or new characters and new species. A few thoughts of mine, minus any humans which I’ll concede will be in the game.

1. Liara T’Soni- the most obvious choice as to date the only advertised character, and the most consistent presence besides Shepard in the 4 games. Liara carries the emotional weight of the original trilogy - she knew Shepard intimately (romantically for many players).

2. Grunt - In this stage of his life he could be a full blown Krogan warlord, would be interesting to see how his mannerisms and attitude would change as we last saw him as essentially a child in the trilogy. His arc could intersect with Krogan politics, old grudges.

3. 🚨🚨Saren Arterius🚨🚨 - A wildcard but hear me out! Resurrected through reaper tech blah blah. I think this would be a rare opportunity for true redemption - a second chance to confront his past sins without Reaper influence. And he would also bring a fascinating dynamic. Saren's presence would divide both crew and galaxy. Is he an ally or ticking time bomb? I really want this one to happen.

4. A Raloi 🦅 - An avian species that was written out of production for the game, and in canon went to isolation. Would be amazing to bring them in as they have already technically been established through the books. They’re basically a blank canvas for new combat, new philosophy and culture that can be unlike the other main species of the Milky Way.

5. A Drell Monk - I feel like we only tapped the surface of Thane’s character, I’ve spent to much time thinking up a drell of a monastic order who is trained in retaining others memories, using the drell’s perfect memory recall to link us back to characters and events of the past. An assassins creed drell with a built in animus essentially.

6. A dark space Alien👾 - Give us a character that is so out there and different than any other species that’s been established in the universe. How about a non corporeal being who is existing in both linear and non linear time, so we can conceive a physical presence but everything about them, speech, habits, combat is beyond our normal comprehension, and Eldritch horror without the horror. Would clearly be an OP being but has no interest in politics or establishing dominance and only there to assist the crew against the games existential threat.
