The Worst Possible Playthrough

If you want to enable all the recruitment missions at once, look here. (The play-through below uses the normal recruitment order without any modding, however!)

General Suicide Mission Guide here (Author - Occams Razor 17): here.

Trying to make Shepard the loneliest and most despised Commander in the galaxy to import for ME3, I killed 11 of 13 possible squadmates, with all dying after the Omega-4 relay (except Samara). Now the only remaining people on the Normandy SR-2 are a crippled pilot, an Asian thief, and an Asari succubus.

I had Kasumi and Morinth survive specifically because they are the least likely to show up for Mass Effect 3. Kasumi costs $7 to recruit (technically speaking) and Morinth is... well, Morinth.
