 I for one do, even though it was denied by Chris Priestley. If you look at the video that BioWare released at VGA's, in the clip we see the Big Ben Sniper, we see his armour, the most important part. He also has a sniper rifle. 

Now if you look at the actually in game model of Vega on the CE of Mass effect 3 you will see the armour is almost identical to the Big Ben Sniper, he also has a Garrus-esque visor, which would denote he is also a sniper. 

I wish I knew how to post pics so I could back up my statement, but if you look it up, you will see. Anyone else agree? 

P.S Sorry if this has already being discussed.

It's confirmed it's not him.

By Chris Priestly, the same person who said there was no Kasumi DLC and that Legion is not a squadmate.

Yep. The first reply nails it. Let me also add that it is physically impossible for "Nigel" to be in London a week after the onset of the invasion and on board the Normandy after it just set sail to gather allies, departing from Vancouver.

*raises hand*

I don't care what some dev says. 

The sniper himself doesn't have to be Vega, but I got this feeling that atleast the voice is James.

And after speculation is swiftly crushed, in comes... denial.

That's profoundly true, Shepard Lives, to so much more than this thread.

Nigel Fish'N Chips should be a seperate squadmate from vega, just for that name.

Wouldn't be the first time Bioware retconned a CGI trailer. In the 2010 E3 trailer for SWTOR Bioware said that female jedi was NOT Satele Shan... At the 2011 E3 they said it WAS Satele Shan. Not to mention that Blur (or whoever makes the CGI) are capable of making cool scenes but things like Grunt being an ancient warrior recruited on Tuchanka or Thane single-handedly eliminating a room of opponents or even Jack escaping cryo by herself fail to make the transition.

Point is: Yes, I believe that Vega is Nigel FishnChips. My proof: in the E3 trailer there was a sniper dressed in the same armor as the man who helps Shepard onboard the Normandy and the trailer had the same voice actor as Nigel FishnChips

Confirmed ages ago that James Vega is not Big Ben Sniper.

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

It could be, but until we see a official character reveal for all we know it could be Shepard's mom after a sex change....okay, bad example


But i still think it's him

Good grief. If we can simply ignore logic, then anything is possible -- which means these forums are an even bigger waste of time than believed.

Let me point out -- again -- that "Nigel" is in Big Ben in London. He talks about millions more dead "In the first week." So at least a week has passed since the Reapers arrived. The trailer concludes with "unless Shepard brings help soon, there won't be an Earth to save."

How can James Vega be in Big Ben in London and be the same James Vega who's gone with Shepard to recruit that help, departing from Vancouver?

Now, could James Vega and Nigel have the same face and the same voice actor? You bet. It would be weird (seperated at birth, perhaps?) but why the heck not? But that does not change the fact that "Big Ben" sniper and Jame Vega simply cannot logicially be the same person.

Not to argue, but seeing as Vega is confirmed to be Alliance, it'd be no surprise if they had similar armor. And if you look at the ME2 alternate appearance packs, just about everyone from Grunt to Tali got a visor--that hardly makes them snipers. I'd say you need more proof than that to call something confirmed by Casey Hudson fake.

[Oblivious]

You didn't read the first paragraph where I used examples to explain that Blur rarely gets information right 100%. Grunt should have been on Tuchanka single-handedly fighting Thresher Maws, the Warden should have been fighting darkspawn and dragons near the Sacred Ashes, Thane should be clearing rooms single handedly in Illium.

I don't mean he is literally the Big Ben Sniper, but that he was based off him

[xSTONEYx187x]

Can someone post a pic of Big Ben Sniper and the character model that is present on the CE of Mass Effect 3, just to make a comparison of the armour?

That's perfectly possible -- and largely pointless.

That would actually be of some use.

[Oblivious]

W/E dude, believe what you want. I was asked for my opinion and gave it, also giving examples as recent as just a week ago to back up my stance.

[BinaryHelix101]

I think the third post (second reply) to this thread is worth a visit before you shoot this down so fast

[TheCrakFox]

If he's your squadmate why would he be holed up on his own in westminster palace?
You could say that you recruit him there but he's on the Normandy at the start of the game in the demo shown (I presume that allience sniper guy is him anyway).

I doubt Nigel will be in the game at all, although it would make a decent side mission storyline I guess if Nigel and James are brothers and you can rescue him.

Then we don't really disagree, Oblivious.

If we accept that the Big Ben trailer is a lie played for maximum dramatic effect, then James Vega could be the same character face with the same voice actor. In fact, I could see that as a deliberate manipulation to get us to like the guy.

It's a whole lot easier to be sympathetic with a wounded man saving a couple and their young child from a husk with a very good long-range shot than with some elite sniper you just met on the Normandy.

So we can agree on this: The trailer has to be a lie for "Nigel" to be James Vega, and Bioware trailers often lie — which is what you just said.

Therefore, I apologize.

I will leave one quibble: For all we know, Thane did clear a room single-handed.

I understand the confusement over this issue of the guy in the trailer.

But who is this Nigel Fish'nChips?
Is he/she an actual character in the game?
I have been sporadically on the boards lately so if someone could clear it up I'd be greatful. I did a google search but came up empty. I just don't get it.

Nigel is a fan nickname for the sniper in the mass effect 3 reveal trailer, we don't know if he's an actual character but i doubt it, he's also been nicknamed Big Ben, which most people don't realise is the name of the bell inside the tower and not the tower itself

Sorry, I just realised how ridiculous my title sounds when read out loud. 

Nigel Fish'N Chips is a borderline stereotype because he is British and apparently Nigel is a common British/English name and Fish'N Chips is a well known British, more English, dish.

Lucky for me I grew with a thirst for knowledge and knew about the bell from an early age even though my teachers in school didn't teach it, ran across it in a book that a teacher told me was inaccurate(they need some reeducation of teachers here if you ask me<_<).

Thanks for the knowledge about the food dish I thought it may be something along those lines.

I guess reading it as an american impervious to the catchphrase before makes for a whole other avenue of thought.

If I were to name him based on similar food servce found here in the US it would probably be: "Nigil Captain D's"

Thank you both for the clarification.:innocent:
