At first, he just looks like a douchebag with his cool hawk and big muscles, but then I realized: James Vega is BioWare's attempt at combining what will appeal to their new players, GOW and COD-loving dudebros, and the nostalgia of a Donkey Kong Gameboy game. That's right. Vega's favorite things are Mountain Dew, Madden NFL 2185, and being shot out of a barrel into a trail of bananas.

But in seriousness, this is one of the aspects of a more realistic aesthetic approach in video games that developers should be wary of; characters being funny-looking or reminding the player of an idiot they know in real life. It's a small possibility, but it's an off-putting, if still hilarious, issue to run into. I wouldn't say any other approach fits Mass Effect more, though.

I think it's good that he isn't a threadthin supermodel.

He has no Derp face, if you want a Derp face play GoW3 and take a good look at Cole when you enter the store.

The title mentions a character, but the topic, if you read it, is about aesthetic style of the game.

It looks better in the game, IMO.

Has any male in the Mass Effect universe ever been a thread-thin supermodel?

Still can't believe this guy is ME3's male lead.

Hell, it gets even worse: we don't get a new female one this time...

You just noticed that? I think he looks like a douche bag and meat head myself. I'm also pretty sure he was brought i to appeal to casuals and the GOW COD crowd... But I will reserve judgement until "I play the game. Hopefully his personality has some substance to it.

He's focustesting the character. He's got steroid induced muscles, a Soap Mactavish mohawk and a neck tattoo.

I've played COD. I play GoW. I still think he looks like a tool in that picture.

Well technically we kinda get new female characters but I dont see why we need a new female lead when key characters like Liara, Ashley, and Tali is playing a bigger role.

Well, every human male squadmate but Zaeed + Thane is.

Even Commander Shepard's Default face is based on a supermodel.

I'm always interested in how characters will pan out in-game once I see them, but BioWare has a way about making the macho guy the same as the other macho guy from the last game.

So main characters are good-looking. What's new? I was more focused on the threadthin part. I know Kaidan is supposed to be a total hunk, and I even think Vega is supposed to be a hot guy, kind of.

Is Mass Effect 3 the first Mass Effect you'll have ever played?

Brilliant plan! Except I wasn't judging him, I was having fun with his absurdly flat facial expression.

But, is ANYONE going to actually talk about that whole aesthetic style thing I mentioned...or?

I'm not necessarily sure who you're counting as "Macho", but I can't see this.  Was Jacob the same as Sten or Black Whirlwind?
