This is a question I am wondering about.

The CG interview with Casey Hudson mentioned that Zaeed will return for ME3 in some capacity, although he didn't specify how or why.

But what if you never installed the Zaeed DLC?

In essence, this would mean you never met Zaeed and he was never part of the crew.

So how would that affect his appearance in ME3?
Would he just not know who you are, changing his cameo to a first meeting?
Or, because the game recognizes the lack of the Zaeed DLC, would it just "remove him" from the state of play?

Personally, I made sure to not install the Zaeed DLC, because I didn't want this character in my game.
So, I'm not going to be very happy if he's forced upon me without choice.
In that case, I'll go back to ME2, install the DLC and kill him off, then start a new ME3 playthrough with that savegame so he won't appear!

i do not understand either Zaeed was a good character.

Zaeed will be enjoying his drink at a bar and watching you get your behind kicked by the Reapers because you didn't install and recruit him.
Everyone knows Zaeed saves the day. Everyone!
He's always the only one to walk out alive.

It's unlikely he'll play a major part even if he is always there so I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Killing him off would at least guarantee that he won't make it so that'd be the safest option but then you're probably just as well to take the chance of not even installing him since that way you don't have to deal with him in ME2 and you still might not have to in ME3.

If you do his loyalty mission after the suicide mission and take the Paragon route then you can leave him behind so if you find he does automatically appear in ME3 when it's released you might still be able to kill him off post-game (assuming saves made after the suicide mission can be used).

If you didn't instal the DLC he probably wont appear or you will be introduced to him in 3 some way. I like Zaeed once I played him a bit. Good character. Well written and it's nice to have a squad member who's interchangeable with Garrus and Thane in terms of combat.

It has been confirmed Lotsb and Arrival will be considered 'played' by ME3 so even if you didn't play them for whatever reasons, what happens in the two DLC's will have happened nonetheless.

Whether the same is true for all other DLC's? I think so, so he will either appear in ME3 or not at all (like Kasumi) regardless of whether you did or did not get the DLC.

Pffft. That's nothing.



One month, Jack had a "bad day". I was the only survivor.

He'll send you a mail. "You forgot to buy me dude!"

Isn't Zaeed a free download? Why wouldn't you install it?

He is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite characters. If you take him on missions involving Blue Suns (recruiting Archangel), he has some hilarious lines. I take Zaeed and Jack out on missions quite a lot, as I think they're both hilarious.

As for ME3, I wouldn't dare speculate, but I HOPE he is in ME3, so he can be a goddamn hero.

He reminds me of senechal Varel. That alone is reason enough to like Zaeed

Zaeed is a real trooper, and a badass. He can watch a refinery - full of people - burn right to death - just to get his revenge, or he will even let a 20 year 'grudge' go in order to follow Shepard.

He also knows the price of pain, having taken a round in the head and left for dead. From the looks of his scarred face, the recovery was a while in the making.

In the end you see that he just wants to retire *See Dossiers, LOTSB*. He just wants peace - the grizzled old war dog has had enough. He made his mark on the galaxy, made his cash, and just wants to chill out for the rest of his life. I can respect that.

He is also not a threat. He is not the one to try to take over Normandy, or even wrest control of the squad away. When you get into his story you see that he is a real trooper - a merc who has had a long and hard life. There is sadness and pain in his story - humanity, but he is not an evil person by any stretch.

he's got disruptor ammo , useful.
and i like his cynical attitude.

[Bugsie]

Okay, you want to kill off or not be available a character you've never actually played in one of your playthroughs... Based on what? BSN forumites discussions?

[Skirata129]

why do you hate zaeed when you've never even played a game with him in your crew? install it, see how he does, and if you still hate him, just delete that dlc. no need to limit your own options.

[Halfdan The Menace]

OP is either a fool or a troll.An ass.

Back on topic,why would you uninstall Zaeed Massani? first he's a space Arab-Turk-whatever,second he's a cool mercenary and third he's a badass guy.Even better than Kaidan.

That's enough for me to like Zaeed.

[CroGamer002]

If you don't recruit him then I think he'll be treated to be dead.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Supposedly speaking, Zaeed (and, by extension, Kasumi) isn't canon, so his appearance in ME3 may not be guaranteed if he wasn't with you in ME2 in the first place.

[Thargorichiban]

Personally I think he would be in the game either way.

He's a mercenary and it has been shown he'll work for Cerberus. So if you pissed him off in ME2 or didn't recruit him at all I'm sure he'll happily take the Illusive Man's money in ME3 to hunt you down.

Zaeed for min-boss in ME3, woo!

I don't like Zaeed, but the VA did a good enough job to make me not like him.  Same with TIM.  Bad acting makes me go meh, good acting makes me either like or dislike. 

I don't like Zaeed's attitude during his LM.  I usually play as a paragon and killing innocents isn't cool to my paragon Shep.  Which is why he got punched in the face.

I am all for him coming back.  Maybe I get to punch him again like we can with our favortie punching bag, al-Jilani.

Fixed because you must seriously be joking.
