Has anyone completed these game without anyone of the crew dying, even Yeoman Chambers etc.???

I can't perfect it, and it really annoys me....

The problem is after I activate Legion, the IFF will be activated, and either I will not gain the loyalty of legion and he will die in the suicide mission instead of the other crew members, or vice versa. Man... I've tried like 6 times and I still fail... Can anyone help???

Offtopic:
I can't seem to notice the motion blur, except when storming. Any help? Thanks a lot!

yes, not too hard....you might have a bug...not sure...here is what i did
Spoiler:

Thanks... I'll try the other tips. Though I have done some of them. I've already done all the other missions before getting the IFF, but after I get the IFF and activate Legion, EDI updates me that the IFF is nearly installed then my crew members gets abducted and only after that, Legion will talk to me. Happened to me like 2 times, still my other crew members gets liquified... ZzzZzz.. Still thanks, I'll try another time!

I'm not sure if I'll be adding anything helpful or not, but most times I've done the reaper IFF mission to get Legion on board, then I've been able to do Tali's loyalty mission (leaving it till late so I can take Legion to the Migrant Fleet) and then Legions mission, THEN the cutscene for the final mission is initiated (it still baffles me why everyone would need to get in the shuttle. I know it's a plot device, but still...).

yea..now i remember. after i get Legion on board then i complete the loyalty missions and my entire crew did not die. but i'm not too sure about that. Legion is the first to die..and usually 2 more members after that

Yeah, tried that too. It's funny when Legion sits aside while the trial was ongoing. He looks like a little school girl!

Well, I'll be trying different combination. ME3 will not be realeased yet, till 2011.

the big thing is... if you want to do tali's AND legions's loyalty missions then DON'T accept them till after you get back from the IFF....then remember to get ONE of them...and IMMEDIATLY go do it....then get the next one...

however...i recommend getting and doing ALL the loyalty missions from the characters you got before the IFF....then the IFF then legions loyalty...

soo....events go like this

all missions possible (including loyalty)
remember to have all upgrades done (the ones from character dialog - cheating these does not count)
IFF mission
meeting in the com room
talk to kelly - nothing new (i might have marked all my messages read at this point)
go downstairs and turn legion on
talk to legion...get ALL dialog...investigate before personal
go up and talk to kelly - legion wants to talk to me (this is the other point i might have marked all messages read)
go back down and talk to legion...get as many dialog options as i could before accepting....tried to talk with him after a few times to make sure i got as much dialog as possible (remember to do his [upgrade] option)
went back upstairs...approached galaxy map....EDI says still installing will update...click map....does NOT trigger joker...go do legions mission...come back...talk to legion as much as i can....go to map....when i click on it it triggers the joker mission....

then i just do optimium choices for the suicide mission

no matter what you do Lilith will die (as far as i can tell only chance of saving her would be to immediatly do the collector ship then IFF right after horizon and i dont know if thats possible)
so long as you dont do any missions AFTER the joker mission none of the crew should die
so long as you pick optimum characters for the suicide mission none of the squadies should die

if this doesn't work then your save might be bugged...(for getting all the missions done AND saving the crew and sqaudies)

Thanks again... I'll try what you did in another account to avoid the bug, if I have it. Again thanks.
