Worried about Mass Effect 3? Share it!

It's hard to not worry about Mass Effect 3. I don't think that it will in anyway be a bad game, it will surely turn out to be a masterpiece as its predecessors. I am going to share my worries though and I'd love to have a discussion about them in the comments. So there are two things worry about - the fact that (and please don't continue reading this if you are going to play Mass Effect 2 for the first time on the PlayStation 3) every body, including your Shepard, can die at the end of Mass Effect 2. Also, the fact that parts of the community don't even have the opportunity to play a game that sets up the entire conclusion. The combination of everyone dying in the end of the second game and the fact that parts of the first one will have major impact of the third is very weird. 
 
I'd love to see Mass Effect 3 as a straight on continuation to Mass Effect 3 with the surviving characters from Mass Effect 2 as major characters. I cannot remember the stats that BioWare released about how many people died at the end of the second game but for a lot of people I know characters who they really loved died. A dream scenario for me personally would be if I could continue having Thane, Mordin, Garrus and Kasumi part of my team together with Ashley Williams, Liara and of course some new ones. Thanes illness can be cured, as he says in the game. I'd love to see that story wrapping up. Also, if there is one scientist I'd want to have with me while trying to save earth it would be Mordin.  
 
This is of course possible for BioWare to create. But there are alot of man hours that need to put in here to have everyone happy at the end of Mass Effect 3. I wouldn't mind if the game came on four or more discs. At the same time, if they really want to make everyone happy, we could miss out on hours of story in our adventures. Again - these worries are very minor and I have a hard time thinking of BioWare skunking this up, but it's worth mentioning because let's face it - todays community teams are kind of big and someone might actually looking at this and getting inspirations for their works (even though Christina Normans latest Twitter update kind of confirmes that story game is more or less done).  
 
What is your Mass Effect story and are there some things you are afraid to miss out on only because you were in a minority of people of that choice? Share it! And also, happy new year to all of you!
