When I think hard enough about it, Cryo Ammo is actually pretty cool for a squadmate to have. It's a complete waste for Shepard, imo.


The developers apparently thought Cryo Ammo was good enough to hide it behind steep prerequisites and restrict it to Shepard.  Power prerequisites won't be the same in ME3, so maybe Cryo Ammo will have been rebalanced.  We already know that it can chill protected enemies to slow them down, though, so it's hard to imagine what they will do to bring it back into line with other ammo powers.

Cryo Ammo is great on the right Shepard.  I would argue that Vanguards and shotgun Infiltrators can get more out of it than a Soldier or sniping Infiltrator.

The reason I want it on Vega is that it might fit his survivability focus more readily than the damage-focused ammo powers.  And it would make him into a very valuable squadmate.

Cryo ammo for Vega?

Now that's a good idea.

I love Cryo Ammo, but I'm a sucker for pretty ice effects.

I agree. It'd really fit Vega if he had cryo ammo, I can really picture him with it :D.

Probably by saying that when he has cryo ammo it makes him very "icy" or something.

Considering how hot-blooded he is, maybe he needs some Incediary Ammo.

Though I suppose he does need to cool down.

I'm so witty.

All this talk about how cool Vega is reminds me of the Nostalgia Critic's review of "Cool as Ice", and now I can just imagine him using those lines on Shepard...

"Aww Shepard, you're just meltin' mah heart... 'cause it's made of icccccce!"

I think that Vega should have a power similar to the krogan "blood rage" imo where he just goes berserk and gets a bost in heatlh and weapon damage, the comic clearly shows he can handle himself even when out numbered

Does anyone know has the name Vega been chosen for 'coolness' factor or is he going to have hispanic origins?

I just hope he's a romance option. Failing that, I hope we can have a deep, engaging relationship arc with him. He's the only new character we know of. I really don't want to be stuck with the same old characters. It's a new game, and I want something new.


That's a refreshing sentiment.


And one I can agree with. Bring on the new.

Getting new character for a new game seems to be inevitable.

I wonder how much the negative reaction to James was caused by the fact that for now he's only confirmed new squadmate? How much it's "don't want new character, I'm good with existing ones!" and will this hate lessen if there will be another confirmed new squadmate?

That was actually about half of the hate equation most people had against Vega. "Why is he here? Focus on the already existing characters! Blah, blah, blah, cluck, cluck, blah, cluck."

The other half of the hate equation was "he looks like a CoD/GoW-reject" and "he'll hit on my straighter-than-an-arrow mShep".

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the perfect equation! ;]

Seriously, this was the entire hate train behind Vega in a nutshell. "WAHHHHH! He looks like he belongs on Jersey Shore! WAHHHHH! Why include a character to help new players to the series? WAHHHHH! My vagina hurts!"

Do you think Vega will have specific backround dialogue, probably idolizing one Shepard more than the other? Similar to how Ashley respects more War Hero Shepard.

I'd like that. (I had no idea Ashley did that with War Hero Sheps...Hm. Must go back and explore ME1). I think bringing in the backgrounds would be a good move as it would
help to individualize each Shepard playthrough (unless someone always
picks the same background regardless).

He may feel more of a connection with Shep if they have the Sole Survivor background too because it seems like he went through a pretty rough time on Fehl.

For a War Hero or Ruthless, depending on his personality, he may repsect Shep because of that.

This has a lot of potential. I do hope they have done something like this with his character.
