Can I kill off squadmates?

Question

James really annoys me. I think I'd like him more if he died heroically. It doesn't even have to be heroic, really. Any death will do. Bullets, knives, fire, plague, chin-up bar accident, EDI "accidentally" opening an airlock on him... whatever. Mass Effect 1 had a few characters that could be killed off (Wrex, Ashley/ Kaiden), and Mass Effect 2 had a way to kill off almost every NPC party member, though not until late in the game.

Is there a way I can kill James off in this game? If so, what's the fastest way I can do this?

Answer 1

Only two squadmates can really die in Mass Effect 3 — and only because of in-game choices you make along the way. James isn't one of them.

The two squadmates that can die are:

• Tali: she will commit suicide if you side with the Geth
• Ashley or Kaidan (whichever survived ME1): your squad will shoot them if you can't talk them down at the part where you kill Udina.

Answer 2

!!!!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS IN LINK!!!!!!!

This link has a list of characters that can die in ME3, I am not sure if this list it 100% finished or accurate, but I fear James never even makes an appearance on the page. You may be stuck with him eternally.

Answer 3

try resetting all his skills equipping him with the weakest weapons as possible and repeatedly sending him directly into enemy fire (it at least makes me happier)
