At first I didn't love Vega's look. I still think he's too bulky and beefy for comfort. Earlier I was saying it'd have to be his voice and personality if I was going to appreciate him.
Amazing what a difference seeing things in action in that beta made. The way he moves, the way he speaks, and the fact that he so offhandedly ignores the fact that he doesn't have to salute you or call you Commander just gives me a burst of warm fuzzies. People thought he was going to be "annoying questions guy", but I don't get that vibe. I think they made him a real character just like all the others, and if he gets confused about something I'll be happy to enlighten him because I don't at all think he'll sound stupid when he asks, just unfamiliar with the territory. Seems like a loyal soldier and all-around good guy to me.
And frankly, he'd make a nice love interest if they go that route--I got the sense that he and Shepard were more friendly than mere co-workers. Not necessarily in the sexy way, but they seemed like equals somehow despite the fact that he was saluting and all that. There's just something about him. He's respectful, he's military, but he seems very--at home with himself and very aware that his self-worth should not be attached to his rank, that ranking is to keep everything orderly and operate on the best decisions as a whole, not to separate the peasants from their betters. But I could easily be happy if it was only friendship, because not every character can or should be romanceable.
Things could change if he's drastically different from what we saw in the rest of the game, but I think I'm very much going to like Vega. He seems just what they said, experienced as a soldier, just not as much with life off of Earth.
