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

    @holger1405 I downloaded the save editor to check the flags, what should I look for? I have never used it before or any mods for that matter.

    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.

    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.)

  • The link @Fred_vdp posted where he linked it to Pacifen's Flow Chart is awesome! 

    Try this; I read where you tried using a save game editor to see the flags for loyalty and you stated they all were loyal. You stated you chose the proper squadmates for their specific roles where everyone *is supposed* to survive until the end. Just go through the scene after the SM with the Illusive Man and the actual ending where you stop the credit roll and go back to continue the game (not Main Menu) & make a another save (don't overwrite previous savs).

    Now open it in the save game editor & load the newest save after the suicide mission and look at the flags. All are still loyal excopt the dead one? Did you follow the flow chart?

    If one is dead, then make a copy of the last auto-save in the suicide mission. This save is made when the human reaper battle happens. If you don't have it, then you have go there again to have the game re-create it. Take that copy and open it in the SGE and look at those flags again. If one is not loyal, you could change it. If you're trying for the achievment, that may work (I really don't know, just thinking here). If you're trying to carry-over everyone into ME3, just take the after game save, change everyone to having made it through the SM and use that to import it into ME3.

  • Thank you everyone for your time and effort in trying to help me in this. I finally did it, Legion looked like he died but actually didn't. I changed some values in the save file with the editor, but I'm not sure if this worked or if I was being a fool the other times when I rage-quitted.

    Things I have learned:

    • If in doubt check your save file with the save game editor and compare against a previous playthrough (if you have one)
    • Do an idiot check to make sure you're not being an idiot
