What are the names on the wall in the Crew Deck?
On floor 3 of my ship I noticed a large wall display with an Alliance logo and a bunch of names, and some empty name plaques. What are these names? Is this a memorial of people killed by my decisions?
I note Ashley Williams is on the list, and when I started the game I picked her as the one that died in this save. I didn't import an ME 2 file and no one has yet died due to my decisions in game.
Yes, this is a memorial plaque to the crew members who have been lost.
If you're particularly careless/heartless, the list can get pretty full, apparently (as LessPop_MoreFizz linked in chat):
Many names on this list coincide to fallen soldiers whose dog tags you picked up during the Mass Effect 2 Normandy SR-1 crash site assignment.
