Dial V for useless human male death? ...Perhaps Vega offs himself,dont know if BW would put suicide in the game though(cept jacobs dad but im assuming that was for the lulz)Kyrene wrote...
Yes. BioWare wanted him. I see a pattern here: Kaiden (Virmire), Jacob (vents), James (some nasty death involving a word starting with V)...

No, I didn't want James Vega. Why? because Bioware flaunted us something way cooler with Big Ben.
Let me demonstrate:
"Hey man! Here's this awesome character: He's a british sniper that can pull headshots like a boss from hundreds of meters away even when his target is concealed by smoke AND that's while his life's blood seeps away!"
"Really?! Man, that sounds awesome! Is he playable?"
"No. You get this football player instead. He'll ask you about Space trivia all the time."
"Wha-"
"And we made him look like the guy that tossed you in your locker in high school."
"Oh what the f-"
If they wanted us to warm up to Vega, they really should have at least given him his own trailer and allowed us to see him in action instead of just releasing a picture of him with a blank expression on his face. Yeesh.

So I posted this:
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/325/index/7897784/1
And now all of a sudden almost everyone loves James Vega.

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.

I'm actually not thrilled about having any new characters. I think we have enough interesting characters with back story that I want further explored. Games have progressed so far in story telling that they need to start being treated like books or movies. What I mean by that is that you don't generally relegate half of your cast to cameos and bring on fresh faces in the final act of a trilogy in traditional story telling. Maybe it's just me, but if I'm forced to choose between breadth and depth...I'll take the depth.

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?

Did we WANT Grunt? We had Wrex. Did we want Miranda? We already had Ashley. Did we want EDI? Or Jack? Nope. But we love them regardless. We never want something until we know it's there.
