Its just a big slap in the face to me, like why did i even bother doing those side missions, they didnt impact the game all that much... just stupid IMO.
I wish they had brought back most of the "main cast" and that you moved forward with relatively the same team you did in ME2, especially because ME2 just seemed like a bridge into ME3 and not really like its own game/plot.

You forget the main cast from ME1. People are even more attached to those characters. ME2 already had maybe too many. So obviously they had to make some choices. Ashley, Kaidan, Liara had to be there because they used them to blueball the players in ME2. Tali and Garrus had to be there too. That's the real "main cast" for most, not Miranda or Legion.
I wasn't interested in listening to their life stories again, to be honest, even though I did like them. I would have welcomed more new characters. I didn't feel any need to have any particular person with me since I could talk to everyone anyway.
On the side missions, I thought it worked really well. I never got the feeling that I needed more missions. The game was just the right length. The N7 missions were meant to provide some action when the player required it. At certain points I felt I needed to get away from all the talking and shoot something. Every other mission was very meaningful and more carefully crafted than what was in the previous games.
