Perhaps there's a pattern here...

Do want. I wasn't a huge fan of Zaeed.

I'm more interested to see if ME3 will allow for a Shepard to have died in the Suicide Mission or not.

That's been answered since ME2 came out:  you cannot import a save where Shepard dies.


Well, foo that.  Shame in general.  Guess the hand-wave was in fact the answer.  I'm guessing I got confused with other comments regarding the 'danger' of bringing some fan favorites back in ME2 for a suicide mission.

Oh well.  :)

I don't see why Bioware would introduce such a cool character in an impossible situation if not to make him part of the story.  So, will he be part of a bridging DLC or will we only meet him in ME3 as we try to take back Earth?

I hope we're at least introduced to him in a DLC. Maybe he's the 2nd human Spectre!  Or at least a candidate for such given his survival in such extreme odds.

Thoughts?


I don't think he's cool at all.  I've seen him in nearly every chest pumping marine game out there.

There are any number of ways he could still be a recruited character. Use your imagination. The game could open with Sheperd on Earth, fighting on the ground, meeting up with this guy, and leaving with him  to fight another day.

It's a CG trailer. It's not like this scene is going to be in the game, exactly as you see it. Need I remind anyone of Caleston?

Are you telling me there are other rugged looking, square jawed space marines with short brown hair in other games? That somehow this short brown haired space marine with a square jaw by BioWare isn't the most original character creation ever?

Honestly that guy is super generic looking like a blend of Gears of War characters, and Call of Duty characters and any other game with a brown colour pallette.

Yes, because the sniper shown wasn't some super unique looking human we've never seen before somehow disqualifies him from being a character we might use in a DLC or ME3 right?

Yes it does because he's boring and cliched as hell. The story of Mass Effect has enough problems without shoehorning in generic white guy #472 because someone though he was kinda cool in that 10 seconds of CG trailer they just saw today.

And so it begins. He's a human male and not Shepard. What chance for long term popularity on the boards does this character have?

We know nothing about him except what he looks like, where he's located, and what he does for a living.  We don't have enough information to make a call on his character or role in the story.  He could be the next human male LI, or perhaps the next Jenkins.

His close-up made him look like Jake Sully from Avatar.

Therefore, if he ends up as a squadmate, I'll be wondering in the back of my mind if he'll leave my squad at the drop of a hat to save a stone-age culture of cliched space elves from Reapers who want their planet's eezo stocks.
If he ends up as a multiplayer skin, I'll wonder why he doesn't have a giant blue space dragon to ride around on, sniping people from on high.

He looks more like one of the first you'll get like Jacob or Kaidan.

He looks more awesome than both though :P

I think he's just some random dude who's here to tell us the premise of ME3. An NPC at best.

+1!  Big Ben Sniper is going to kick ass in this game, I can't wait to recruit him. 

Hopefully he'll be romanceable for my femshep.

 Bioware:  Please make the British sniper a DLC character as part of the "bridging the gap" between ME2 and ME3.  He has all the makes of being a complete badass and as potentially becoming a very memorable character in the game... make it happen!

What's to say there's something wrong with a gritty, white, male rifleman? Those qualities don't automatically disqualify you from being interesting or having personality. Hell, Shepard is a white male soldier.
