Mine was Legion, and I consider that choice the easiest of all my crew decisions. I'd had him the shortest amount of time, don't care for the Geth in the first place (makes me mad to hear about technology besting its designers :P) AND how can you possibly improve over a super-smart AI's computer programming skills? He was clearly the hacker to pick.

First Team Leader


Garrus. C-sec, my mission in Mass Effect 1, his Mercenary squad, and then was one of my first recruits. No one had a more impressive leadership resume than he did.

First Team


Hmm. . .I forget. I don't remember the exact scene for these teams. I BELIEVE I picked Garrus and Mordin, though.

Second Team


Same here.

Escort for the crew (if applicable)


Grunt. Krogan aren't suited for leadership, and I sure didn't want Grunt with me, so this was a natural fit for him. Best pure warrior in my group should have something to do. He made it back fine.

Biotic


Samara. The game never really clarifies whether Samara or Jack is the most powerful, but Samara had hundreds of years of experience under her belt, and seemed the most focused. I felt she was the most reliable.

Casualties


Only Mordin, which was sad. I didn't even see him die, either. Just sort of panned over his body after a fight. I suppose he must have died in the firefight that went on while I fought the boss.

Woo. My Shepherd survived. Anyone know what determines that?


Mine did too. As I understand it, team loyalty is the primary thing that goes into Shepard's survival. The other characters get knocked off when you don't get all the ship upgrades, or when you make bad choices for the teams and whatnot. As to my one death, I've been told that happened because I took too long fighting the boss. The other guys are caught in a firefight while you're doing that, and apparently if you're slow, you can lose people. I haven't looked that up myself, but it makes as much sense as anything else. I wasn't particularly fast during the fight.

So, what was your team's story?


Twas a happy one with a single tragic moment, I suppose. Honestly I was just excited to get my crew back. I panicked when the Collector ship nabbed 'em all. :P
