Your average dudebro who buys the game for its pew-pew combat, gets talking to badass Vega then discovers he's open to a bit of Shep lovin'? Might not react well, if what we've seen on the forums is anything to go by.


Yeah, but Bioware trolling dudebros would almost be as funny as them trolling Talimancers. Plus, look at that fauxhawk.


I am kinda hoping that maleshep gets treated to a little femshep/Jacob interaction. Then maybe they will understand how those that played femshep felt instead of just saying, "What? She wanted some of that."
Really? She wanted some Liara, Ash, Miranda ... Jacob? Hell, no! Posted Image

I hate eyepieces, for one thing, and this getup makes him look like a refugee from the Borg (Star Trek). And he's got that steroid "inflexible" look, like his muscles are so bulky that he can't touch his torso with his hands anymore. And he's got a pig nose and a huge mouth. I'm sure he's going to have worse Chiclet Teeth Syndrome than Jacob did.

And his cheeks look puffy. He's Jimmy Hopkins all grown up.

That bully who kissed boys? A coincidence?

A coincidence? I think not.

That would be amazing XD! And it could give the ME universe a chance to hear some of the sauciness Mark Meer brought to DA2...

P.S. There's a lot of Vega-bashing based on one picture. Everyone takes a bad photo now and then. I'll wait and see in the actual game.

I really hope this isn't Vega's final look, assuming he's a s/s option. That particular kind of hunka meat isn't right for my Sheps at all.


It isn't the end of the world, assuming that Kaidan is bi as well.  You can choose "pretty" or "beef."  It's more of a selection than they've given the community in the past.


I agree, however I have a nasty sneaking suspicion that if they're going to cut out content again it'll be Kaidan s/s option that gets thrown out again but that aside I'm kind of hoping the other m/m option if indeed there is more than one is going to be an alien so we'd have the choice between a very pretty Kaidan and an (hopefully) awesome alien. If we really must have a "beef" option I'd much rather have Wrex.

The more options the better.  I'd prefer a human, though.  And I think I'd prefer someone new over Kaidan.  I'll wait to see, though.

To be fair, it's hard not to make fun on him in that shot. The man looks like he accidentally fell into a car crusher.

It also saddens me just a tiny amount to see an ever increasing succession of male characters with rippling musculature.

I'm going to wait until the game comes out before passing true judgment on Vega. I thought Garrus was a stupid looking dinosaur from early release photos and now he's one of my favorite characters, although CERTAIN fans, like the other Abispa, can't seem to shut up about him. I, however, will not take advantage of any dinosaur s/s feature in ME3.

I shudder to think of the consequences. Many reptiles stimulate their sex partners by biting. Have you seen Garrus' teeth? Hope you remember to buy those upgrades for Shepard.

I don't know, he looks to have about the same build as Kaidan does. A little wider at the shoulders, maybe, and the boots make his feet look much bigger than they really are. Honestly, my biggest complaint about Vega based on the picture is, again, the faux-hawk. It just doesn't seem very soldier-y. Really, can't we just get him as a regular jarhead with a buzzcut?

They better not. They've already dangled him as a gay option in front of our faces with ME1 just to take cut it out, doing it again would be just stupid trolling from their side.

Having his hands balled up into fists just exacerbates the illusion of Chris Redfield Wannabe. I hope he has a casual outfit, and I hope his writing and voice acting isn't as full of fail as this alternate appearance is. Of course, pretty much all of the AAs in ME2 seemed to have been rather silly designs, hopefully the "standard" design for JV will look a little more legit.

James Vega is the only M/M LI. Your reaction?

Edit: Just to be clear, this is hypothetical. There is no confirmation on the subject.

MAKER NO

(actually I was just using this because it's Mark Meer and there's never enough Mark Meer, I wouldn't necessarily react like this)

(actually yes i would)

Looks like the Galaxy is going to have a few more celibate heroes.
However it wouldn't be unexpected for me since it's exactly what I both fear and expect from this particular Bioware dev team, make the only m/m option so unattractive that almost no-one will romance him and then use the statistics of that romance as justification for not including m/m romance in any future Mass Effect franchise games.
