    I sent Zaeed down a tunnel by himself & he wasn't loyal to me.  
     
    He died quick & painless.

    None of mine dies, though half the crew did. I was sort of cut to see Kelly die right in front of me.
     
    I though Garrus was going to bite the dust because he came through the door and seemed to wince, double over and grab at his stomach (?). But no, he was fine.
     
    I kind of want to intentionally have people die on my second playthrough, it seems like it would create more emotional resonance if that happened.

    Miranda died for some reason. I havent quite figured it out... Think it might have something to do with the fight between her and Jack about half way through the game. Well, half way through might not be very accurate since it depends on which missions you take on and in what order you do them.

    Nobody died for me. Had full loyalty and all the ship upgrades. Sent Tali through vents, Garrus lead team, Samara did biotics, and sent Mordin back to escort. I brought Tali and Miranda with me for the final battle. Apparently, the stronger the people you leave behind at the final battle the better (prevents random deaths I think), and if the people you bring are loyal, the two won't be dead when you check on them after the battle.
    @Captain_Insano:
     I think Garrus doubling over is his little idea of a joke there, since I know if you send someone foolish, like Tali or something to lead the team, they die there even if loyal, with a similar animation.

    I'm glad such a larger portion of people had no one die at the end.  Good for you.  I wonder if I asked this question to more recreational gamers, (Giant bomb's pretty hardcore)  what the result would be.

    None. I consider the side-quest apart of the main quest and anyone who doesn't do them is just plain crazy. I had to try to get people to die. It really boggles my mind that people are accidentally getting their squad killed somehow. Play the game, and use common sense.

    None. No party members, no crew members. I finished up all of the side quests before I went for the IFF.

    Alright, this is something that has been bothering me lately and you all may think I'm crazy for it too. 
     
    During my first playthrough I wanted some of my crew members to die but none did.
     
    There I said it. Realize though, that I loved everyone and while I really didn't want them to perish because of my bad decision making, I wanted my playthrough of Mass Effect 3 to be a little different than the conventional masses. I said this was bothering me because I find that people constantly reloaded their saves just to get everyone to survive the mission. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I understand you want to save everyone, but do yourself a favor and make an extra save! Playing through the game with the decisions you make and dealing with the consequences brings you into a much deeper state of immersion than constantly reloading your save so you can get exactly what you wanted. It takes so much away if you just straight shot it and went full paragon or renegade too. Make those snap decisions that sometimes lead to a paragon/renegade decision. These things are what make a game like Mass Effect 2 great!

    No one died in my original ending. But that's because as soon as someone died, I was like "f this," and started the mission over. But hey, I did it before the actual ending so it counts. HA!

    Grunt died in mine, I had him in my party because I thought he was badass but he got killed by the swarm :(. I have a save just before the end that I'll probably go back to before ME3 and keep him alive though.

    I lost legion since he got hit in the head by giant ball of fire in a cut-scene :\. At least I didn't lose anyone I really thought was worth keeping. 
     
    Also blew up the base...which might make for some interesting contacts with Cerberus in ME3.

    Yoeman Kelly Chambers doesn't have to die?? I just found this out.
    When I first found her dead I was like NOOOOO NOT Yoeman Kelly Chambers! WHY COULDN'T DR CHAKWAS DIE INSTEAD?
    Infact that's when I started really hating the collectors. Shit, I didn't care when Grunt or Jack died, but Kelly :(

    I was hella paranoid for the ending of that game... I did everything i possibly could've to keep everyone alive. It turns out that it's not terribly difficult keep people from dying. I'm playing a second time through without upgrading anything and i'll see how many of my guys die this time.

    Garrus died in my first play through of the end mission. It wasn't even his fault, I just made the decision to have Miranda do the biotic shield instead of Samarra. I boned that one. I even managed to keep the whole crew safe, but not Garrus. :(
     
    Also I totally blew the shiat out of the collector ship at the end.

    I don't know why, but the first time i played the last part of Mass Effect 2, i brought Grunt and Zaeed (by mistake) finished the mission just fine, but Mordin died. Now i had done every quest, all the sidequest, even the Firewalker en Kazumi DLC missions, and i don't know why he died. So i loaded a previous save game and brought Mordin with me in the last fight, after i did that, everyone lived.

    4. 
     
     I tried to kill the bald thing and the masked bitch.  It worked and was really sweet to watch.  The scientist got it and so did wrex, unfortunately.  Which made it all bitter sweet because Wrex was a squad mate.   I thought he should lead the other team.  Got it as we were pulling out.  Like a champ.
     
    I will play again before 3 and make sure Wrex lives.  No way I am playing more Mass Effect with out my team.  Wrex and the bug are my team.

    None. I was trying to ensure that none of my team died. I didn't use a FAQ or anything like that, so I was never sure if I made the exact right choice. There were a few times that I was biting my nails, but everyone made it through alive.

    I romanced Miranda, retained all loyalty, lost no members, or the doctor but did not flirt with Kelly and she died. Also, I kept the station.
    Did everyone lose Kelly?
