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.

I liked the fact that the main cast from the first game re-unites in this one. I loved having my squad as Garus and Ash again. The new characters are pretty terrible though. Except Javik. That guy is pretty darn cool and he has some interesting things to say. Perhaps better new characters is something they really should have looked at.
Also, I am not saying the game needed more side missions I am saying it needed better
quality side missions. Landing in a tiny box and fighting waves of enemies is dull and lazy. We don't need loyalty missions again but something along those lines would be a nice break from the main story.
