    So far, we've seen 3 new party members - Thane, Miranda and the new krogan (forget his name). On top of the older characters, who do you think you'll take with you? 
     
    For me it's going to be Garrus and either Thane or the krogan. I really wish Wrex was in it, but I'm interested to see what Thane's personality is like. He looks to have kickass potential. Garrus is my favorite character from the first and I don't know why he just has this awesome way of saying things and his comments are always so smart and composed. I also hope that he will listen to the advice I gave him on the first game.

    I haven't seen much of the game but is Thane basically their to replace Wrex as the badass who doesn't give a fuck? Hmm, I'll probably take Garrus with me.

    From the only video I've seen of him (I'm trying not to look at videos or articles), Thane seems to be more of an assassin, sneaky type character whereas Wrex was all, "Fuck this shit".

    We also have Jacob, Mordin, and Subject Zero. From the looks of  all of them, I'm mostly interested in Mordin and Thane. 
     
    Here's a more complete list. All the bottom six are confirmed, plus Tali.

    Miranda, Thane and Grunt look most interesting. However, I do usually play as a biotic, so I'll need to see what each character's class is before I can make a real choice.

    Just like Nihlus, my Shepard runs faster on his own!

    Garrus is not a squad mate. 
     
    And I'm so confused really. Tali looks damn interesting but so does Subject Zero. Thane and Mordin are pretty cool too. But if Legion's a recruitable bro, then I need him as well.

    Probably either Grunt and Tali, or Samara and Jacob for some biotic mayhem.

    I'll probably just choose randomly every time I pick party members.

    Since I'm playing Vanguard, I'm going to want somebody with sniper rifles backing me up from a distance. So I'll probably go either Thane and Tali, or Garrus and Samara, so I have a balance between biotics and tech stuff.

    Thane & Miranda seem pretty mysterious so I'm inclined to roll with them.  I haven't seen enough Grunt to get a sense of any personality out of him.  Subject Zero is a bit obnoxious. The Asari biotic (Samara?) could be interesting too.  I plan on using a Sentinel, maybe Soldier if I want a really easy time... so whatever ends up complimenting my skills the best, I suppose.

    Tali and whoever else I feel the need to bring along I think, I'm pretty torn on the second person. Might just go with whatever, so long as I have Tali and her HIPS along for the ride.

    No idea. I'm not going to think it over too much though. I'll simply look at their stats in comparison to mine and see what makes the most well rounded team. If that's not possible, I'll just pick the cool looking ones.

    Garrus and either Tali or Thane. Maybe Jakob will be in the mix.

    I'll roll with a biotic with combat skills and a biotic/tech specialist. Subject Zero/Thane and Miranda will probably suffice.

    Garrus + Subject Zero or Tali would make an interesting combo.

    I'll probably be playing this several times with different squads, just like in Mass Effect. I'll probably go with whoever has the best traditional combat skills, as that was the path I most appreciated in Mass Effect. The Salarian on crack looks amusing though, and Miranda is fucking hot. The only person I really don't see putting in my squad is Tali. I hate her... Subject Zero also looks very ridiculous to me, and not in a good way.
