So now SZ is the whipping girl of ME, first it was Ash, then it looked like it would be Miranda, now it's SZ, yet everyone loves Tali/Liara.... Bloody racists/speciesists.
What I don't like, is that with SZ being in, that makes it less likely we are going to see Ash as a squadmate in ME2, we already know Wrex is just a side character, so chances are, Garrus will most likely not be a member and those are the three characters I used the most in ME1. I have to ask what is the point of, getting rid of most of the cast for the sequel?
Chances are, Miranda, Thane, Grunt, Jacob, SZ and the Salarian scientist won't be seen after this game. Since it's possible anyone of them can die/not be recruited.
