I would like to see Mordin, Garrus, Tali, and Legion. I wouldn't be too upset for the rest if they didn't return. Its likely that many will be resigned to cameos.

Ashley/Kaiden will be back in the squad since one of them is guaranteed to at least be alive regardless of who survived at the end of your ME2 game.
Thane will be trying to spend time with his son before he dies.
Tali and Liara are confirmed, so that's pretty much answered.
Can't see Jacob returning, but possibly Miranda.
Garrus is pretty likely due to popularity.
Not so sure on Jack, Mordin or Grunt.
Unless something happens to Clan Urdnot, Wrex won't return to the squad due to his responsibilities.
But I don't really care as long as Legion returns. In my opinion he is the most interesting character just due to his nature and I really want him explored more. The fact he didn't repair himself until he discovered Shepard's armour and cannot account for why ("No data...") is just too damn interesting for me. Plus he's a gamer, can't knock that.

I want Jack back. She is so awesome. I can't decide between Wrex or Grunt, but one of them. And Liara as well. Garrus and Tali isn't neccessary, but I would miss them.

No thoughts on legion?
I'm going with legion being gone.
I think Legion has been confirmed to appear. I don't know if he is a guaranteed squad mate though. Also I'm pretty sure Miranda has been relegated to non-combat supporting character.
Not in my playthrough. She was the only one who died.

It was probably for the best though. I turned her down to stay true to Ashley. She'd better be back and she owes my Sheppard big time!

I don't know. They said the squad will be smaller, but that most of the characters will make an appearance.

I could see some of the characters just being on the Normandy, like Mordin and maybe even Tali.

But since Mass Effect 3 is going to be for "a wider audience", it'll mean less blood, less sex and less swearing.
Really? Not the opposite? I mean all "mature" gamers want some blood, n' sex n' shit. All the underage kiddiegamers really want blood 'n sex 'n shit. I think it would only do good for Bioware if they go more mature. Free PR from sex scandal n' stuff

I guess a lot of them might return for a couple missions, like Liara did in Shadow Broker.
Other than that, I am not sure. I guess Thane, Grunt and Samara has an easy way out of the team, as well as Miranda and Jacob for other reasons. Zaheed and Kasumi are not likely to be back since they are DLC characters. Tali and Garrus will be back since they are fan favorites.
And I would be disappointed if Mordin and Legion doesn't return, at least as NPCs. I really liked those characters...

I reckon Thane won't due to him being dead, but there's room for his son to show up possibly. Also Miranda and Jacob can still be back, if you tell TIM to shove it at the end of ME2 they're both like "yeahh you go Shep!"

I doubt any of the characters from ME2 will be back as playable/main characters, purely for the reason that they can die, so they can't give a major role to them as it would upset the fans who killed them off. Same with any of the ME characters who could have been killed.

As for cameos? I don't doubt there will be cameos for nearly all of them.

I know for a fact Wrex and Ashley will be back. Garrus will be if he survived ME2. I believe Mordin and Legion will be back. If you want to know how I know Gamestop sells a magazine called Gameinformer. They had a whole issue about ME3. When I find my copy will tell you for sure.

I think as long as Garrus,Legion,Miranda, and maybe Grunt are back I don't care who else is/isn't.

Oh I'm sure squadmates of 2 will be back, just not exactly as permanent squadmates. I know Wrex and Legion will join you on certain missions, but from what I've heard, Sanders, Liara, Kaiden/Ashley, and quite possibly Garrus, Mordin, and Tali are permanent fixtures.

Thane is unlikely to be back. We can all agree on that. Grunt is a coin toss... He's a krogan tank-born after all. Samara I find unlikely for some reason, but she is likely to have a major role, being a powerful figure to the asari. Zaeed and Kasumi are highly unlikely, being downloadable and all (but if they do show up, even as uninvolved npcs, I will be so so happy.) Jack will likely be temporary like Wrex and Legion. Jacob and Miranda, I really have no idea.

Honestly, as long as Garrus is permanent and I get to have a tasteful romantic cutscene with him (again), I'll be happy. Killing Kaidan on Virmire was so worth it!
