No one. Without Shepherd they all die. Thats why if you die in ME2 you can't import into ME3. Cerberus isn't into reviving you again apparently.
Garrus Vakarian is not an option? F************K!
OT
It would be kinda cool to see Joker charge into the fray. No, it would not. Breaks my hearth (not to mention bones). Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Anderson? To old, to political (my play-trough paragon).
Williams? To much of a bigot Christian xenophobic.
Liara? Isn't she to busy being broke? I meant being the Shadow broker?
Wrex. Now there's a interesting option... That might actually work.

No Liara BECOMES the Shadow Broker to help Shepard, if he/she dies (depends on how you feel about alien lesbian sex scenes in space) she will use her new found powers to blackmail/supply races to follow her into battle. Information is money, and in Liara's position, she has a lot to spareKiltguy said:
Tried to travel back in time via the internet to do that but apparently information on the web is incapable of going back in time. it bull%#$@Yoh3333 said:well.. It IS shephard but whatever:
IF your scenario is correct, then i would say this:
Anders is a no-go. He have laid off of combat in ME2 and he's occupied. If Earth get invaded by Reapers, he would be the last guy i would expect to be on the front lines.
Joker, according to your prediction, would be the new leader appointed by Cerberus. Problem here is that Cerberus IS an enemy in ME3, atleast that's what i gather from the screenshots + info. Could be wrong but heck, i thought he was waaaay too injured to be fighting.
Wrex is Krogan... i don't think we will ever have a main character who is not a Human for Mass Effect, considering the major themes throughout ME2 of racism (i guess that's what it was) towards humans by almost any other race. It was the point that Shepard, despite his renown was being hated by some simply because he was a human. Hence useing a figure whom we would relate to (since we are humans, last time i checked) put ourselves in the shoes of the subject of racism. It's kinda one of the deep themes i thought of while playing through the game... Back on track:
Wrex is not a possibilty either, he's krogan, he has an army at his disposal which i can't seem to get to work with the game. Combat experience is a yes but also a HUUUGE yes. He would be an unstoppable killing machine if a player were to be him. He is a krogan, and a damn strong krogan too so no. Too imba
Liara is also a way too strong and succesful person for it to be fair for the player. too imba. With all the military and money at her disposal, it would ruin some parts of the game. Also, her entire arc is sort of a side-character... As you said, her desire is to finish what her lost love started, allready there don't we know 100% of what she means. bioware would have to make up a loooooooooooooot of story to cover up that part i think...
Williams / Kaidan are the most qualified one here. They are both decently trained, as was Shepard, They have met the reapers first hand which is also great. They dislike Cerberus, the enemy, which is also a goot point. They are not too "strong" or anything so they would make the perfect fit for Shepards role if you ask me. Not too might and not too weak to be the main character.
At the end of the day we still know that it IS shepard who we will play as, was interresting though... would've been more interresting had you posted this the second we got the announcement about ME3
Garrus for sure.. but obviously he'd follow Shepard to the death.
I'd say Joker (voted). In the Battle of the Reapers, it seems from the VERY LITTLE we know/and have seen of the Reapers, they are gigantic robotic creatures. I doubt a single soldier would do ANYTHING.. If anything, a tactical & genius pilot with the skill & willpower to blow a massive hole in the Reaper's lines would win the battle. Joker has that skill.
We saw in ME1 how he alone dealt the final blow to the REAL Reaper. In ME2, Shepard and his team killed a baby reaper, if that.. in human terms, a featus . It meant NOTHING that Shepard was able to kill it, hence made the meaning of ME2 mundane.
A soldier would do little, if any, damage to a real Reaper. Only pilots & big ships. This leaves Joker and the fleet to win the battle. I really don't see how Shepard could do anything.... hence why I'm sure the Reapers won't be the main VILLAIN of ME3. (NOT THE MAIN ENEMY... HUGE difference)

to everyone saying you can't import a dead shepard cause of a tip on a loading screen, it read "Don't forget to import your game into Mass Effect 3, if you survive." That doesn't mean it can't be done, it means you might mess up the canon and you wouldn't see the game the way it was meant to be. If Bioware actually made a statement saying "you can't do that" then never mind
In all reality, if any of these people led the team, the universe would be screwed. I voted Williams/Alenko because that is the most likely person to be allowed to take over the Normandy.
Reasons why no-one is suitable:
Any of the Normandy crew from ME2: Dead. Only way Shepard can die is if they all die (Except Joker)
Joker: Even with his current enhancements, he's extremely weak and can barely walk. I doubt Cerberus would spend a ton of money to fix this problem and get the galaxy a saviour. Again. Other than this, he would be an excellent choice; from the fact that he managed to kill a couple of Collectors with the assault rifle at ME2's escape from the collector base, he seems to be naturally good at using weapons (I assume that was his first man to man armed combat, as his Vrolik Syndrome would not allow him to fire a gun before this), and his witting one-liners would win the whole galaxies love.
Anderson: He is stuck as councilor, he is old, and he has likely not had any actual combat for many years. He would be a tactician if anything, not joinng the fight but directing those that do.
Liara: Stuck as the Shadow Broker, and she won't even give that up to be with Shepard. She might be useful in negotiating peace between all the nations by blackmailing them with selling their secrets if they don't co-operate.
Wrex: No one would trust him. He may have the galaxies best interests at heart (even though he seems more concentrated on Krogan survival, I'm sure he would see the Galaxies survival would help the Krogans) but he is Krogan, so nobody would listen to him. Maybe he could be a field commander and combatant.
Williams/Alenko:
Williams believes that humanity should stand on its on, without the help of aliens, and because of this would find it hard to make alliances with other aliens to have them help Earth. Definate option for front line soldier or Squad leader in combat, but she probably wouldn't be able to handle the diplomatic relations too well.
Alenko died in my canon, but if he had lived he would probably be the best option of the lot. Nothing really remarkable about him, but nothing too bad either. Would probably be better suited to being an on field commander and biotic specialist though.
Alenko or Williams would probably be the best leaders for the Normandy, however better still would be if all the options joined together and used their individual strengths to augment the team. That would stand a chance of defeating the Reapers.
