I read that Shepard can get some of the some of the powers that you unlock for your squad members after making them loyal.  Now, are all the powers you unlock for your squad members available for Shepard to get, or is it just some of them?  Also, are there any other ways to get additional powers?

You can only get one power at a time. I used Warp Bullets, Slam and later settled on Barrier, since keeping Shepard alive was my primairy concern. I'm an Adept and I do not know if these powers change with each class.

Does the squad member need to be in your party for it to work?

Oh so the bonus powers you get are related to which characters are loyal?
 
I didn't know that.  I just unlocked my first one.  I only have Miranda loyal to me so I was able to unlock her Slam power.  Guess that gives more incentive to make other teammates loyal to you even if you aren't gonna use them.

The powers you can gain are the same bonus powers that your squad mates unlock after they become loyal.

Plus if they aren't loyal, either they'll probably die, or someone else will die, or you'll fail and you'll die. So yeah, its somewhat optional, but expect people to die if they aren't loyal. I.E. they might not back up someone under fire, and that person dies permenantly in the endgame. "

eh?  You mean in the storyline or are you just saying during gameplay?  Cuz I've been sticking with Miranda and Jacob pretty much the whole game even tho I've collected all the other teammates.  I'm missing one person....dunno who it is because the Illusive Man hasn't given me a mission to go get them. "

So, I've been asked by Miranda to go and save her twin sister... is this how I get her loyal?
