Nothing wrong with having a 'PoV' ('point-of-view') character in the game, IMO - not only do they get to provide all the exposition for people joining the trilogy with ME3, but they also make for a good counterpoint to Kaidan/Ashley/Liara/Garrus/Tali et al, who're all old hands when it comes to Reapers and the like. Keeps things fresh, having a newbie's perspective on board.

And besides, I quite like the fact that he's a pugnacious (not exactly 'handsome', is he?), tattooed lug, as opposed to all the good-looking humans already in the game, plus he's voiced by a guy who's a surprisingly underrated actor, and as it turns out, a bona fide game and Mass Effect fan.

With all that in the mix, I expect that James'll fit into things just fine, and be a great addition to the cast. Wasn't that interested when I first saw him, but now I'm really liking him aboard the SR-2.

Someone we're capable of caring about?

I always love it when someone tries to speak for me <_<

I don't find the human squadmates automatically boring, and I don't see the logic behind saying that an alien is automatically more interesting. Especially since in ME where the only difference really are only the looks.

I too think we could have done without new squadmates and could have just stuck to the 15 we already had but it's understandable why BW created new characters and to be honest, I really don't think he's the most useless squadmate. My ship,which should have stayed my ship is the most useless squadmate and that's one squadmate slot really nobody needed filled.

I might not use Vega,but that will have nothing to do with me not liking him,I just barely use snipers. Oh and for the record? Whenever I did in ME2? I prefered Zaeed over Garrus...

This, pretty much. They have to introduce a couple new characters, if for no other reason than some people won't have many squaddies left after their ME2 playthrough! But it's also a good tactic for bringing new players into the universe - something which they have to attempt.

As for whether I'll use him much, it depends on a lot of things, mostly if he hits it off well with my Shepard, and what kind of talents/skills he has - I'm sure I'll use him for at least one mission, because I try to use all the squaddies at least once.

Why do we need to be given characters we "want"?
Why can't we just play characters that written?

As many agreed, so do I.
We are playing someone's vision of a story. All the branching options being part of that vision.
So far it's been a great ride.

Anyway, this is a game about humans. Yes there are reapers, yes there is a citadel. But in the end it's all humans, from the lead, to who you work for, to who you have to save.
There is no logic in having only aliens in the ship.
Sure, some are freaking awesome. But you also need perspective to make them so awesome. You need normal characters.
In a world where everyone is excentric. An excentric character, is just a normal character.

At first I thought he was cool, until i was informed that he was there just for the new people who never played ME1 and 2. So I just see him as a useless gorilla man. Wont even think of using him as a squadmate unless it is forced.

[fdgvdddvdfdfbdfb]

You don't realise how human the aliens actually are do you? They speak the same, have the same body language, express emotions and intimacy the same, entertain themselves the same way and have a similar cultures and technology, have given and surnames, in the right order(those aren't even standard in human culture) and even have an american sense of humour. Especially for a squadmate, they are all have to be structurally similar and share the exact same movements, because Bioware resuses everything.

Give Vega a chance, I don't think painting him green and giving him tentacles instead of pubes automatically makes him cool.

I want Zaeed, ahahaha.

[xcrunr1647]

I used Miranda almost all the time in ME2, and especially in the final mission...

+15% squad damage say what?

I will judge his character when I get the game. He could be a cool dude, but to be honest I think he looks ridiculous. The tight shirt, the mohawk, the bad tribal tattoo's. It's like they were trying to make him look like a stereotypical bro, and I'm REALLY not sure why.

Why would you post this? lol

[General User]

I wanted James Vega.

I've been hoping for more humans on the crew since ME1.

[Mecha Tengu]

james vega should have been a woman

or an android

he's so chunky and yech...

[General User]

Or he could just wear the rest of his uniform, you know pretend he's actually a professional soldier not some yob constantly on his way to or from the gym (which he may very well be).

[alex90c]

First I hated him, but I'm now actually quite looking forward to giving Vega a go.

[PauseforEffect]

Just read this and I'm surprised the OP's saying that Zaeed was the only popular human. All the times I've seen votes cast, Zaeed was the LEAST favorite squadmate.
I always have liked the human squadmates, but whether they came with me on missions was always depending on their abilities and usefulness in combat. I may like their personalities, but often I find that there are other teammates who have what I need to compensate for my class. For example, ME1 had me running around with Garrus and Kaiden a great deal of the time because of my Vanguard preferences and Ashley as a result was not needed as often. ME2 left Jacob redundant because I had the same abilities and it was just easier to fill the slot with someone specialized differently. None of it meant that I didn't enjoy talking to Ashley nor that I didn't admire Jacob's ethics from a safe sleaze-free distance.
Oh, and I'm soooooo looking forward to having Vega on the team. Beat up a bunch of batarians with a television? I like him already!

[Arppis]

Sometimes you have to work with people you don't like. Deal with it.

[Litany of Fury]

When I first saw pictures of Vega I thought he would be SOAP! in space, but he's not; that left me a bit disappointed. I like his design, though.

And if you get him before Team Dextro then I'll almost certainly use him.

Cut to 3 weeks later, after most people have finished ME3:

"How many people here actually liked James Vega?"
