I'll start out by being blunt. In most people's games James Vegas will rot on the Normandy. Why do I think that? Because that's what happened with Ashley, Kaidan, Miranda, Jacob, and Jack.

You'd think by now the devs would have some understanding of it's fanbase by now, with all the Tali fanservice and in-joke during LotSB. We don't want squadmates that are boring, and human squadmates are ALWAYS boring. In a scifi game full of interesting and exotic xenos we want to see THEM, not something we can see by looking out a window. The only human squadmate that people liked was Zaeed, because he was designed to NOT be boring. Even though he wasn't that involved in the game compared to the rest we got a personality, a past, and a understanding of him out of him.

But Vega isn't going to be Zaeed. At E3 he was confirmed to be an everyman, a veacle for new players to understand the ME universe (yes, apparently ME3 is aimed to draw in new players, because that's how trilogies work! Way to blow months of assurences to ME1 fans out of your ass. This is right after the DA2 fiasco to boot). So basically for anyone who has played a previous game he's going to be a bore, he's going to bog down the game, and he's going to take a squadmate slot that could've been given to a xeno that's automatically attention getting or, if you absolutely have to have a human squadmate, SOMEONE WE KNOW. Someone we're capable of caring about?

Oh, and he's a sniper? So's Garrus. Guess which one ME fans will use?

I didn't want him. But to be honest anyone beyond Tali and Garrus wont be seeing much voluntary usage by me.

But far to early to tell if I'll like him more than other previous squadmates that didn't get to rejoin this time around.

Well, Garrus is dead in some people's playthroughs, so they need another sniper.

Good catch, although I couldn't care less about vega. Unless he's somewhat interesting he'll be on the normandy full time.

In most existing players games, yes, I agree.

Er... personally I don't like any of those characters much, but they do have their fans.

I'm not really seeing where the rage is coming from. If you don't like him, just leave him on the Normandy, problem solved. Personally I think/hope that Vega is there to give the gays something to bumfuk without p!ssing off the now-infamous "straight male gamer" by having Garrus hit on them.

I for one am not as annoyed by the humans as some other posters might be. That said, it's too early to tell whether Vega will be annoying or boring. Sure, the everyman description doesn't count in his favor, but besides that, we know next to nothing. Whether I use him in squad is dependent on personality. If I he's grating and questioning me at inopportune moments, then yes, he'll sit on the Normandy.
