Well Kaidan was a little generic, Jacob was a little more generic, so if we follow this pattern...

Kaidan was generic? Did we play the same game?

Anyway, James could turn out very interesting. I wonder though, was that actually him with the sniper rifle in the trailer?

I think Dangerfoot means bland and blander.  If that's the case, then Dangerfoot would be correct.  I do disagree Mr. Vega will be the third incarnation.

Is this the guy who would take over for Shepard if he and everyone dies at the end of ME2?

Or will they just ignore the whole dead Shepard ending and he is only going to be a companion?

You can't import dead Shepard in ME3.

Confirmed long time ago.

I don't believe you'll be able to import a dead Shepard.  So the second one.

Bah, that's lame. I wanted to see how ME3 would play out with a dead shepard.

why even include that ending at all?

[Someone With Mass]

We're not even sure if the guy in the trailer is Vega. Could just be an Alliance soldier with a Widow.

Chris said that the image of the dude on the CE is Vega.

Fail ending.

Truth is, most of this is still tentative.

Vega is soldier and we see this guy having assault rifle and sniper rifle.

It makes no sense to have 3 soldier squadmates from start. And it's bad game design.

Also we saw this guy in E3 Earth Demo. Why would they make up another squadmate while announcing Vega? And he's 100% NOT random Alliance soldier that we won't see ever again.

Actually, it's no guarantee Vega will end up a Soldier and not (let's say) an Infiltrator.  We will be able to choose which weapons we carry.  Each class will just be limited in how many they can carry.

Forgot about that, but it was said he will be tank and tanks are brutes. Which means he will be Soldier.

In ME2, Sentinels made the best tanks as they were practically indestructible with Assault Armor.  And I would certainly welcome more Sentinels on the team in ME3, especially if their builds are anything like Miranda's in ME2.

It's really silly to try and sort these squadmates into the six Shep classes.

If he does end up being a Soldier, then I'd be disappointed (especially when they can do so much more with him as another class).

sure, but to try and use the class system as a basis with which to figure things out, when there is likely a big disparity between the ability and progression systems, as it was in ME2...

Well we need a Soldier.

Only he and Ashley are Soldiers and Ash can die on Virmire.

The (admittedly very small) amount of info we have about this feller doesn't make me at all interested.

Vega, Bioware. You called him Vega and then you gave us some generic-ass space marine. Why make me hope he was going to be a dashing, roguishly sexy (and possibly bisexual) hispanic badass only to crush my hopes by giving us Flint Ironstag Blast Hardcheese Big McLargehuge?

I IMAGINED HIM WITH A PENCIL MOUSTACHE. You bastards.

No more Bi-sexual crap.

I agree.  This fad needs to stop. 

But he's a new character! What does it take to make you people happy?

Since buttloads of people have said "I'm fine with it as long as it's for new characters only", I figured one would be allowed to hope for a new character to be bi.

I'm dreadfully sorry, but teh gay has been confirmed in. You're going to have to *sunglasses* deal with it.

I won't discuss this any further, we wouldn't want Jimmy's thread to get locked, now would we? :happy:

True.  But the official list of squad mates is not yet complete.  With Wrex's involvement, I wouldn't be surprised if Grunt made a return as full time squad mate.

Zaeed. Garrus. Grunt.

Have the same setup as a Soldier.

Enough of that boring ass class. Bring some divesity instead.

I'm not against making a new LI gay or bi.  If you've read some of my previous posts on the topic, you'd know I'm one of those buttloads of people you're talking about.  As such, I am against changing the sexual orientation of any previous LIs.

With that said, does it REALLY need to be brought up in EVERY thread???

I found something interesting. Ashley's email record from the Shadow Broker references a soldier named James:

masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Ashley_Williams#Email_record

I think they are one and the same. It's improbable that there would be two different characters of the same name, both of them Alliance marines. Anyway, this gives us a better of idea of who James is and what he does, assuming that they are the same character...

I'm almost completely sure the guy in the letter is called James because that letter was a reference/easter egg to a Bioware employee called... well, James.

Also it is weird to announce squadmate just to be canon fodder.

I think it's been confirmed on several occasions that he'll be a permanent teammate too.

Besides, BioWare have never announced the guy they kill off early, so why start now?

Actually, there was Mihrahi, from DAO:Awakening.
