This is what makes Mass Effect so awesome. Everyone has different takes on each character and their usefulness. I'm gonna have to start another play through when I get home from work. I still wish Shepard could hook up with Tali, she was my favorite. As for Ashley she didn't bother me too much. I understand why she felt the way she felt and with my Shepard I managed to get her to set aside her hatred of aliens.

For some reason I never managed to be able to do that. I was able to get Liara to adopt a much more renegade outlook on life, but I wasn't able to get ashley to put aside her hatred of aliens. Oh well, I find it interesting how you can change the personalities of your squadmembers based on your actions and conversations spent with them.

Yeah you greatly influence pretty much the entire crew. Your actions greatly influence Garrus for instance.  The gender of your Shepard seems to be play a role in how much pull you have with some characters. The "choice" was uncomfortable but easy for me on my first playtrough because my Shepard was male and Kaidan doesn't open up to you as much. On my second playthrough I made Renegade female Shepard and it made the choice harder because Kaidan seems to open up more. Your back ground, choice, etc. have such an effect on the each play through. Mass Effect is by far my favorite 360 game of this generation.
