Re: My squad mates die even though they are all loyal

for the pipe u can use legion or tali.

team leaders miri or garrus

shield is samara/morinth or jack

send tali or mordin back with the crew since those two can die if they´re holding the line and use the other one for the final fight

and ur save

I've attached a picture that explains how the calculations are done for the suicide mission. That's how it worked in Legacy, anyway, maybe it can provide some help here.

Check the IGN guide. Only thing I can think off is that you picked the wrong person in one of the choices.

Not sure if it's applicable to you. But maybe it has to do with the ‘lost achievements’ bug after the patch update. Mainly Xbox users.

Because the achievements for completing a loyalty mission are lost. It could be that your game isn’t registering your squad members as loyal. You can check your trophies in game.

You did keep the loyalty of your team members by making the speech checks, right?  You can do the loyalty missions and then lose a loyalty if you fail the check, which MAY be influencing the outcome here.

@reidrobot  Strange, always do it like i posted before and no one dies. Only the reaper team changes depending which romance i have.

As far as i can remember i only had deaths on my first time on the PS3 and later when i wanted to check how ME3 turns out when Tali isnt loyal, she died.

Get Tali in ME2 exiled and romance her, nice little talk when she arrives on the Normandy in ME3. But no chance to get both armies at the end of Rannoch.

Then the most likely explanation would be that there some flags who are set wrongly in your savegame.

@reidrobot 

Open the Save Editor > Open > Select your ME2 Save file (Preferable the last one before you go to the Suicide Mission) > OK

Click on the "Plot" tab > click on the "Crew" tab > expand the Squad mates.

Look if "xxxx is loyal" is selected.

@reidrobot 

Did you tried to repair the game?

(Origin > Game Library > right click MELE > Repair)
(Steam > Game Library > right click at MELE > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

@reidrobotseems very odd to me. I just ran through it on a character and everyone survived like normal. Just out of curiosity, did you upgrade every single squad member, even the powers/weapons including legion's?

Also, in the cutscene where you talk with those holding the line, one on your side will get shot and go down regardless, but they actually survive. I saw you mention someone dying on 'hold the line', but in your orignal comment you say it happen after the reaper fight. Just thought I'd mention the 'hold the line' bit

This does not affect survival rate. You also previously mentioned the difficulty setting, which also doesn't affect it.

The flow chart contains all the relevant variables. If someone dies despite following the guide, then there has to be a bug or something was overlooked.

Edit: I previously credited Pacifien for the flow chart. I believe she figured out the logic of the suicide mission, but there were other contributors as well. I don't know who exactly, and with the closure of the old forum, it's harder to figure that out.

@Fred_vdp 

This chart is the best help for the ME2 endgame. 👍

Where's the chart (Iink, etc)?
