Based on Mass Effect: Conviction. I'm not sure if it would be alright to post the comic here, since it is only intended to be available as Dark Horse promotion, so it may be grounds for moderation.

Comic was only 8 pages, and incredibly simple, but there were some details revealed.

*Spoilers?*



Vega is apparently suffering from PTSD, unable to get over being involved in some incident on the planet "Fehl." He was pissing his life away on Omega.

That is, until Anderson shows up to provide him with an opportunity, as he clearly admires Vega's skill as a soldier. Turns out Shepard has turned himself in only days after the events of Arrival, and Anderson chose Vega to guard Shepard.

That sounds... Extremely bland and uninteresting. Yeah, a character with a traumatic past. Exactly what I was not hoping for.ME2 was way too much of an overdose of that garbage. Also I should point out that the Krogan bar owner in the apron was the best thing about that comment...

Who cares, he's probably just the token gay character anyway.


Or he may just be a token straight character considering the enfatuation with bisexual LIs.


Either way, it doesn't seem particularly interesting.


"Hey, guess what? I'm gay/straight/whatever term you would like to use, and I'm all screwed up!" That's the kind of writing I'd expect from a shoddy comedy. And.....?

When you get down to it, the background of characters can always get boiled down to a basic summation. The difference is always in portrayal - Jack has childhood trauma, Miranda wants to get away from overbearing daddy, Garrus has trust issues, Thane is someone's daddy issue, et cetera, et cetera. You want to boil people's issues down to their basic elements like that, there isn't a whole lot of variation.

And of course he's going to have some kind of issue. I mean, that's one of the things that happens in the party of any game. They've tried making a party member without issues, and people were calling Jacob bland because of it.

He beat up a batarian with a television screen. He's a winner in my book.

And I really don't think PTSD is "boring" or "overused." It's a legitimate topic in a game about war.

Seems to me Anderson set Vega to guard Shep so the two could get to know each other. From the looks of it, Vega could use a serious mentor, and Shep fills that roll perfectly.

[MACharlie1]

Got news for you guys:

If he didn't have some sort of troubled past then he'd be Jacob Taylor. Just sayin.

Get to know each other or "get to know each other"?

[Elvis_Mazur]

Vegas' LM.

The one without quotations around it.

Well, that's no fun, is it?

[Mr. MannlyMan]

I'll have to wait to see how he's written/acted in ME3, but so far I find him to be pretty forgettable.

:happy:

But seriously, I like the idea of Vega being brought on to "guard" Shep if only as a cover for him to eventually team up with Shep.

"Hmm.. somebody needs to guard war hero during high profile trial and then help him save the galaxy... how about a random ****** drunk screwed up washout?! Can't think of anything better! "

Typical overly dramatic past and an **** to boot...

Can't really see myself caring about this character.

As I said on the other Vega Comic thread that's twenty pages long,

Once again, we have the whole "batarians are bad" thing clearly shown

Someone with psychological issues...again. This is not new. I think almost every character has some huge psychological fault line in their life just waiting to crack. Does the new one really have to be that way?

If there's anything you don't want, you DON't want a man with PTSD on your covert ops/stealth reconessaince, whatever Shepard's job is, team. Very bad idea.

*rolls-eyes* Yes, 'cause we all know that Shep is big on stealth.

Actually, he murders a batarian with a TV Knife combination

[Gh0st_00]

So Shepard has a squad member with a troubled past and/or phycological problems? Might as well add him to list with all the others.

[RPGamer13]

It's obvious Anderson views Vega as a third party and thus, the only person he can trust to help Shepard escape.

[The Interloper]

He's a male human soldier with a troubled past. I don't think he's intended to be revolutionary.

You think so? Personally, I felt that Vega was the bad one there; those batarians did absolutely nothing wrong, and this aggressive ape just starts insulting and beating them.

maybe I am not picking up sarcasm Kaiser, and I'm sorry, but I think the comment was in reference to how a load of people are saying "those batarians had it coming"

He never insulted them until after they'd attacked him (one guy with a knife, with clear intent to kill Vega).  Yes, he was provoking them with the TV stunt, but the simple fact is, the first person to actually attack anyone was a batarian.
