OMG!!!!

OMG, I just high-pitched squealed that at the TV while playing through the ending for a 3rd time.

Aw... got excited over nothing. I knew they didn't bother to fix the Liara glitch, but I hadn't heard that the other ME1 LIs would show up as well.

Still, it was nice to see Kaidan there. <3

I heard they were cut due to budgetary/timing concerns. Hopefully they'll include the assets for the others in the EC.

I heard that they had trouble implementing the other LIs in the flashback for some reason, so instead of fixing it, they just cut them out due to time.

I hate that rumor just as much as any other explanation.

I find that rumor so suspicious. I can buy not being able to get Thane, Miranda, Jack, or Kelly because of some odd ME2 issue that they probably should have found time to fix. But Garrus, Tali, Samantha and Steve are all "truelove" flagged during ME3. Samantha and Steve don't even exist until ME3. How were they having problems putting them in?

[evilsherbear]

It was some sort of flagging issue. When it comes down to crunch time in fixing bugs, leaving out someone's LI is a pretty small thing in the grand scheme of the game. It's not something that's game breaking, and it makes sense to just cut something like that than to spend resources/time on it when there are more pressing bugs.

Then they should have taken out Liara, Kaidan and Ashley flashbacks

If everyone doesn't get their LI flashback then no-one should get one

This.

What causes the flags to trip up appears to be kind of random at times. The Ken and Gabby conversations some how got tied to an Ashley conversation flag, so the result is that if you don't have Ashley in your party (either if Kaidan was the VS or she dies during the coup/is sent away), then Ken and Gabby never get together. All because the flags got mixed up somehow.

At this point, I'd settle for anything beyond a token acknowledgement of the ME2 LIs. /bitter Jacobmance

How does the truelove flag differ from normal LI flags? Is there another point at which it comes up, or...? I always find flagging bugs interesting for some reason.
