SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ME1 CREW?
Your bosom buds from the beginning. They stuck it out for years, never wavering. And you repaid their loyalty by never getting them killed (well except that one loser), never failing to help them out. So let's see how they ended up with this handy guide!
Garrus Vakarian:
Hopes: This turian C-Sec officer was tired of the small time and dreamed of becoming an elite Spectre agent. When Commander Shepard recruited him, Garrus knew he could make his dreams come true.
Result: Garrus never became a Spectre, even though the Virmire Survivor who probably distrusted Spectres did. He was stranded on an unknown alien planet that lacked the dextro foods that turians like Garrus requires. He was probably tempted many times by hunger delirium to feast on the corpse of his good friend Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, but instead resisted before slowly fading away while all his friends watched.
Tali'Zorah nar Rayya vas Normandy
Hopes: Like many quarians, Tali was devoted to her people. She dreamed of reclaiming their homeworld, Rannoch, and building a home there so that her species could live in peace.
Result: Tali was stranded on an unknown alien planet, cut off from the society that quarian life revolves around, doomed to know that she would never again see her people, and that the quarians would be centuries away from ever returning to the homeworld they spent so many years longing to return to. Given Tali's previous possible behavior, she most likely committed suicide rather than succumb to starvation.
Urdnot Wrex:
Hopes: The leader of the krogan Clan Urdnot, Wrex hoped to reverse the fatalistic attitudes of his people and the effects of the genophage, restoring their proud warrior culture.
Result: Wrex was stranded on Earth. He would probably never see the children he fathered with Eve, for the political upheaval on Tuchanka caused by his absence and the collapse of galactic society would most likely result in chaos. Left on Earth with once again fatalistic krogan, Wrex has been dealt the ultimate emasculation of his manhood by fate. Most likely disillusioned, Wrex will either spend centuries fighting back to find the desecrated graves of his family on Tuchanka, or be unceremoniously gunned down by human soldiers after going wild in a fit of blood rage.
Dr. Liara T'Soni
Hopes: To study the galaxy's past and leave hope for the galaxy's future.
Result: Liara was stranded on an unknown alien planet. Apart from the AI, EDI, Liara would outlive all of her friends, watching many generations of human survivors be born and die, possibly never knowing exactly what happened to Shepard or the galaxy, forced to live a long, lonely, and loveless life.
The Virmire Survivor (Major Kaiden Alenko/Lieutenant Commander Ashley Williams)
Hopes: Eh
Result: Eh
So keep up the galactic adventurin' Sheparinos, and we'll catch you on the flip side!
