 I've been curious about this since James Vega was revealed, so I thought it would be an interesting thread. The general suggestion is that Vega looks physically the way he does in order to appeal to the CoD fanBOYS (note: this isn't my personal opinion, just what gets thrown around often here at BSN). I'm curious to know the opinion of the ladies who play Mass Effect: do you find Vega at all attractive or appealing physically? I guess the gay posters can answer this same question for me too, but I'm mostly curious about the straight female audience here...

I think hes physically attractive, but not entirely digging the whole massive bulky muscles thing.

[AdmiralCheez]

He's kind of ugly, but in the endearing way. Looks alone isn't enough to make a call, though.

I have a feeling he will soon be referred to "that guy who isn't as cool as Grunt."

[Golden Owl]

Too bulked...he looks like a shaved Gorilla....what's that they say about a Gorilla's junk?......looks at pinkie finger with a smirk...

Saw only about 2 pics of him. Both don't quite match up in my memory. In one of them, he looks too bulky in facial structure. In another he was in a t-shirt with army fatigues, I think.
Will say this, he looks more like the marines I saw with my brother and frankly, if he was there in ME1, I would have crushed hard on him. For one, he looks like someone who wouldn't take any bull from a female Shepard and another, he's had my vote since I found out that he beat a group of batarians with a television.
Where the hell have you been all this time, Vega?! It's too late for me to change my mind now!

[Xilizhra]

He's male. Attractiveness irrelevant.

[ADLegend21]

Nota girl, or gay, but his mohawk is a nice change from the buzzcuts of the majority of the other males in Mass Effect.

[StephanieBengal]

How he looks physically from the one picture we've seen of him...I don't find him attractive. However, once I actually hear his voice, have conversations with him, see him in battle, then maybe I might feel differently.

[Heather Cline]

He's a male and I'm not attracted to him. However from an aesthetics point of view he looks like a body builder, all bulky and stuff. His face isn't all that attractive and the entire package from the images I've seen doesn't really look all that good.

So no he isn't an attractive male from an aesthetic view point.

[Sudsaroo]

Hell, I'm a guy, and even I can tell he's a chick magnet.

Ick.  Nope.

considering above, and the fact that lesbian women are not a target audience when it comes to Vega, I'm not sure how productive answers from people who don't actually find males attractive as a rule - are.

personally - I think Vega looks great. he reminds me of MMA fighters, and they are basically my type - with or without tattoos. (the again - I follow bodybuilding and I find professional bodybuilders to be good looking, unless they go for so much bulk, that they lose the whole point of bodybuilding - building a proportionate body. I like muscles, I find androgynous, slender males not to my liking, visually).

what would make him perfect if he were like Beast. and I'd love it if there were instances of people underestimating him due to his earthy appearance, only to be crushed by his intellect.

We're screwing with the OP thanks to his (I think) inaccurately wide net in the topic name.

A refreshing answer. I don't get the hate for muscular men. It's just muscle, it has no effect on one's intellect.

I don't find him attractive at all. Although I haven't seen enough of his personality to judge that further.

It's silly to think that muscles = stupid, I agree.

My issue is that he has a toad-face.  Which makes him kind of cute, maybe, but not sexyfine.  Which is great, because I really don't need sexyfine to appreciate the character.

Nope, what sold me was the TV-knife melee combo.  Freddie Shepard's body is ready.

[Lenimph]

No... I don't. His face...

[Annie_Dear]

I'd like to see an actual in-game picture of Vega before I judge his looks.

[Esbatty]

Vega has this Vin Diesel thing going on, so he's a'ight in my book. My hidden book that Ish reads when I'm gone so she can make fun of me later and addresses me as "Rainbows McSwish" when she asks me rhetorical questions.

[Milana_Saros]

Just swooping in to say my two cents on this. I don't find him attractive. At all.

The body...overboard much? My fiance goes to the gym and he is at least twice as bulky as he was when we started dating. His dad and his big brother have both had success in wieght lifting championship accross the world...and none of them look like Vega. At all. There's bulkiness and then theres "whatisinhea steroods?!"

Then there's the issue of his face...I honestly don't know if this is just a taste factor but WTF Bioware? Piggy nose and pouty lips?

Don't know if that one still render just fools peoples' eyes or if this is some kind of "what's on the inside is what matters" - attempt...

"He looks like the kids who bullied me in middle school. There better be an option for Shephard to degradingly and correctly guess Vega's entire life story from the day he and his friends got together in a vacant field in Northern Arizona and decided to play football with the new "pigskin" his daddy bought him for his special 10th birthday, to the day he enlisted in the Alliance Military after failing to get into a decent college but getting into a DUI related auto accident resulting in the deaths of two passengers in Vega's vehicle.

Or maybe that backstory crosses the line into too tragic and complex for a guy with a neck tattoo."

Hmm...something about his facial features bugs me for some odd reason. And he is a little too bulked up for my taste.

Otherwise, at first look, I do find Mr. Vega attractive. He's not super handsome, but he does have that sort of charming look about him.

[RhiPanda]

Gotta agree with Phantom, he isn't really attractive in a conventional sense but there's something about him that makes him no unattractive, heh hope that actually makes sense
