Is that him with the Widow in the trailer?

No, he'll be a soldier and a tank.

Soldiers can use snipers, remember?

Sounds pretty bland...

Could be him. Could be some Alliance grunt with a Widow. Speaking of which, I'd like if he can use the Widow as a character exclusive weapon like Legion, because I think I have enough normal snipers on my team.

^Well Vega is Alliance grunt, like Ashley and Kaidan in ME1.


Also I don't think we ever had someone to tank in ME1 and 2.

Except for Grunt and Wrex. And Legion once you unlock his Geth Shield Boost.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

No matter what class he is, he may NOT use the Widow on my team.

Nobody uses the Widow except me and my No.1 fan Legion. The Widow is MY gun. MINE!!!

I call her Gisele.

I would just like to point out that in ME3, everyone can use any weapon. They're only limited by how much they can carry. Technically, you could make Liara a sniper specialist if you have a bit of freedom with leveling up...

Then how about the Widow and the Claymore being "prohibitively expensive" and "able to shatter a normal human's arm"? Retconned?

Anyways, what I meant was I won't give him the Widow even if he is allowed to use it.

Finally, I don't think what you said is 100% true, because otherwise sniper rifles will be the dominant weapon for every squadmate since they don't have issues with aiming OR ammo limit (if their AI runs similar to ME2's, which they do according to what we've seen so far), the two balancing factors against a sniper rifle's superior stopping power. It'd be like the Incisor sniper rifle all over again, only it's on EVERY squadmate, instead of just Zaeed, Thane and Garrus.

Finally, it'd be ridiculous for someone like Liara to suddenly become as good a sniper as Garrus or Legion. BioWare is above such obvious mistakes.

I thought they said that only Shepard gets to choose. Everyone else is set up ME2 style.

Ashley and Wrex did most of the 'Tanking' in my ME1 game. When I say 'Tanking' I mean they were really hard to kill. Wrex more so, but Ashley was no daffodil either.

I was honestly under the impression that their effects on the user's body were greatly exaggerated. Shepard can use them. Sure, he's got a few extra components, but he skeleton wasn't replaced with steel. Like Jacob said, he's still human, with just a few extra peices. His skeleton does get hardened with upgrades, sure, but since you are capable of using it even without said upgrade, I can see it being within the realm of reason that most people couldn't use it, but a handful still could.

As for your squadmates, as I look for it, it appears that was merely my interpretation and nothing actually says what I did. My mistake. Though with that said, simply being able to give your squadmate a Sniper Rifle does not equate to dominating with it. In Liara's case, her leveling up routes may make SMGs significantly more deadly in her hands than a Sniper Rifle. Honestly, except for Legion who always uses the Widow, I rarely have my squadmates use their SR.

Something that should be corrected anyway...like when that asari eclipse boss on miri's loyalty mission (enya i think?) doesnt so much as flinch when she fires the Claymore at the dock workers back.

That's laughable for any shotgun, let alone one that is supposed to have such a wicked recoil as the Claymore being wielded by an Asari.

It's probably a modified version.

She fought back pretty well for having a shattered shoulder. :blink:

I have a feeling James Vega will tie in with Cerberus in some way. Either as a hidden agent or someone who absolutely hates them. We have been told he is important to the story for new players. I don't think he will just be a boring footsoldier so I'm going to go with the theory he is a cyborg, beefed up with experimental Reaper tech before escaping from a cerberus laboratory some time in the past.

Isn't all this assuming that an Asari is as squishy as a human and isn't using biotics to somehow allow her to weild said weapon?

Asari are described multiple times over as not being as physically strong as humans are...The weapon description specifically states that its only used by Krogans because of the kickback, yet the Asari and there is a Turian on the Strontium Mule mission that use it...not to mention Shepard's ability to use it without any sort of Barrier/ShieldBoost/Fortification and not shatter his shoulder.

It should be corrected, thats that. If you are going to go out of your way to make a super powerful weapon that the 'weak' races cant use then it damn well should stay that way.

James Vega couldn't be stealthy, his giant fro would poke itself out of his tech invisibility field making him a walking disembodied fro.

It's too soon to tell and nothing else has been confirmed or announced yet for James Vega apart from the fact that he's a new squad mate.

To be honest, I think we have enough snipers already, especially if we're including Shepard. Besides, I think it's past due we get a Human-Krogan anyways.
