Don't really "hate" Vega or anything, but I prefer Jacob's look over his. Vega looks too much like a typical Call of Duty army character to me.

Dont drop the Soap now.
(see what I did there, hehe)

man soap was friggin scottish

not even the same continent as vega

He has silly hair.

It's not a very good thing to judge someone on, but it's basically all we know about him.

[Harbinger1985]

Vega is the dumbest, most meatheadish character I have ever seen. The fact BioWare, who up until now I respected and admired for their writing and characterization, would create such a stupid character (and yes, he will take the place of one one of YOUR favorites on your squad) is partially indicative why ME3 is different for the worst.

[Chuvvy]

I don't hate Fridge Beefchest, his character doesn't seem to conform to the stereotype he physical appearance gives off. I hate what he stands for. He's pandering to the lowest common denominator. "OH LOOK A MEATLOAF WITH A MOHAWK!" Vega more or less sums up biowares new direction. Mainstream, not saying it's an inherently bad thing, it's just that their games will appeal to me less and less. I'll just take my money to CDPR after ME3's said and done, doesn't really matter.

I have not really paid any attention at all to ME3 beyond the issue of Origin, but I am at least peripherally aware of James Vega and no, I wouldn't call myself a fan. I would say my issue with him is that 1) We already have a sizable number of beloved characters that have a history with Shepard (me) and some of those characters were certainly sacrificed in ME3 so that we might have Vega in their stead and 2) he seems SO vanilla based on what I've seen. Do we need another meat-head soldier-type in the shooting genre? Do we really?

This ^2

Well I do expect Vega to play as a different style of Solider from Ashley or SoliderShepard while being no less of a badass.

Vega, despite looking like a meathead, has potential to be a Heavy weapon Solider that kick ass and takes names.

I wouldn't be surprised He would love a S.A.W. and heavier weapons.

i'm not a James Vega fan, i really don't care either way but I just wanna know why ppl hate him/dislike him so much?

because he wasn't in Me1 everyone seems to hate everything that's not from ME1 around here since ME1 was obviously a perfect game that had no faults or shortcomings at all.

If he can wield the Claymore shotgun and use it properly, I will use him all the time

The only reason I can think is that they have "judged a book by its cover" and think the is not an interesting character.

When I first started play ME3, I didn't use him much as I focussed on teh characters I knew from ME1 or ME2. Now that I have started using him, I have really grown to like him. I see lots of people calling him "fauxhawk" or "meathead" or whatever. Just like all of BioWare's other charac ters, there is a lot more to the person than what they look liek on the outside.

I expect most fans who have played ME1 or ME2 will do just what I did and do a playthrough with their favorite charcaters from before. I'm hoping that once they play a second pass or whatever, they give Vega a chance. He's much better than people seem to think.

You've been providing some pretty intriguing responses lately. Much more fleshed-out than before. I guess it's in part because the game is right around the corner so you're a.) allowing more beans to spill (not that there's anything especially spill-worthy here, but it's heartier than usual) and b.) the game's so close to done now that you have a lot to chew on and in turn provide for us.

Regardless of why, I really appreciate it. 'Tis fun reading stuff from the devs and community staff.

Bah! They are just jealous!



We need more sexy Latinos in science fiction in my not so humble opinion.

as long as its not Liara, Tali, Garrus, i really don't care (not saying i don't like the other characters like Wrex, Mordin, Miranda, etc) but Garrus and Liara are already confirmed, and i'm pretty sure they're not going to leave Tali out, so i'm not too concerned

I've got high hopes for Vega, he seems like he'll be a pretty cool guy to me.

Brilliantly said. Vega indeed sums up BioWare's new direction.

[iRAWRasaurusREX]

Personally he looks like a typical grunt and there is noting wrong with that, but I will hold all judgement till I play the game. It depends on his personality

[Tazzmission]

i kind of feel bad for vega because he's getting the jacob treatment by the fans

I'm pretty sure he can use the Claymore, since a fair number of weapons restrictions for squaddies have been lifted, and as to using it properly...well, he has Carnage.

I said looks. Visual design. Physical appearance.

Personality or accent has nothing to do with how a person looks.

It's this... Many of them do exactly this. One look and they go "Vanilla meathead" or "Gears of War" and don't think it out any further...

Yeah, wish people would at least wait until he says something stupid before they label him. Though honestly, I won't use him probably in my first playthrough either. Because there are others I already have attachment to.

Jacob should get a better reception. He was a level headed guy in the middle of psychopaths. He also managed to stay calm during the reunion with his father.

I don't see what is wrong with him.
