I don't drop by much with character threads (other than the obvious) but just thought I've give my two cents that I was surprised by how much I actually liked James. He was cool and I loved the sparing match even though my Shep always just goes "No nicknames, kay?"

[FoxHound109]

I'm so annoyed with Bioware. I liked James, but not enough, and a lack of a romance is the reason. The problem is that he doesn't have a back story like the rest of the characters, so he has to shine in one game, and that's hard when they limit your interactions with him. What's worse is that ME 3 doesn't treat conversations like the previous games in the series: you can only have so many of them with certain characters and then it's just Zaeed level stuff. I got to see James as a jokester and a badass, but I never got see him truly vulnerable. I hate that I probably never will because I can't romance him at all. Being able to romance him would have made him a much better character, IMO.

*Sigh*

I think the fact that James wasn't a romance option worked out pretty well. The occasional flirting and teasing between him and FemShep was great, especially since nothing much came of it.

But I don't play femShep, and his bro-friendship is only so-so. He suffers from Jacob syndrome, except that he can actually be an interesting character if given the chance.

Ah, yes. "Heterosexual Female Gamers." We have dismissed this claim.

Just another slap in the face from BW.

Yes he's flirting openly the first hald of the game, and that stop after the tattoo scene at the citadel... First I was wondering if it stopped because meanwhile I swear love to Garrus, my romance from ME2... But apparently it's not reliable...

So so disappointed No more Lola for the second half of the game, except before the final battle when you say to him "hey your a good man and a good soldier !"...

Hey, can I ask you a question bothering me for a long time?
I mean Vega is super-awesome, my biggest spacebro and I totally would have boned him with some sideShep, but what is the origin of Vega and kittens meme?

[Gexora]

P. S. I think he was originally a romance option and they left the conversation as they were, and in that N7 discussion moment something was supposed to happen... I mean just look at the way he steps forward and then runs away

That's not what that other quote is saying, just sayin'.

Well, I don't know about that "I like to follow internet generalities like a tool" poster is trying to do, but...

I felt it was a low blow that Vega wasn't an romance option.

So I finished the game late last night (early this morning?) and all I have to say is...I liked the ending.
GAH! *Dodges thrown tomatoes* I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry! It's just, the fantasy author in me really connected with the artisticness of it. The final scene after the credits (I still don't see a problem with using stock images if they work) was very reminiscent of a classic fantasy trope. The idea of an ancient culture more advanced than your own. We see it with Atlantis in real life. The Numenoreans in the Lord of the Rings. The Star Child reminded me of the sorta mythical qualities of both the Reapers and Vigil. And while the 3 choices thing was bunk, it fit with the Star Child line. It was cool to see the choices played out. Destroy was Anderson's way, Control was The Illusive Man's way, Synthesis was Shepard's way (or not).

Some of the plot holes are plot holes, but simply things that needed to be explained better. Why didn't the Star Child open the Citadel in ME1? Maybe he couldn't. The Protheans had altered the signal sent to the Keepers. Perhaps he couldn't change it back. Maybe he was waiting for someone to come along and change things up and simply allowed the change to stay. After all he gave up pretty easily once you made it there. He could have just left you on the one deck to die.

All of the fleets left in the Sol System? Well, sometimes war has crappy consequences. My own point of how the Turians and Quarians starving? Hopefully the Quarian world-ships survived. Sucks, but not a plot-hole.

Here *is* where there's a plot hole. How did ANY of your ground crew end up back on the Normandy? Normandy had dropped them all off on Earth.

Not a plot hole is Joker in the Relay network. It's weird and unexplained, sure. Also, he can't have been in the Charon relay since that's the first one to shoot 'the beam' and he was shown AFTER it had sent it's signal. Which means not only had he left the battle early but was somewhere on the other side of the Galaxy in the Relay network.

Still, I understand (and the more time that passes since I played it the more I agree) the need to change the ending. Too many unexplained things.

Actually, as much as I personally dug that, I didn't like that it was automatic and without input.

I was sad. I wanted to work out all my angst with him. After Thane was written off died, I didn't have a...shoulder..to cry on.

Okay, we all knew Thane was dying since the first game.  That coupled with his being able to die during the end of ME2 required a diminished role in ME3.

I'm not happy about it either, but there it is.

I'm watching someone Let's Play From Ashes DLC.


Vega like dinosaurs.

[SilentK]

Vega is wonderful and really fun to bring along to different missions. Have some stupid hope that he will a LI for FemShep one day when I logg on to my game. That would make me really glad.

[mnomaha]

@Mesina...it's funny. I just took Garrus and Liara with me for that. Garrus apparently likes them too. Only one extra line from him about her catching the jokes quicker now.

Everyone could die in the second game, so that point is moot. 

Was Vega inteded to be an LI originally? I remember everyone was saying he was an LI, so I'm wondering where that came from. Was it in the leaked script? i was severely disappointed when I learned the rumors weren't true

Hey guys, would someone be able to tell me around what part of the story Traynor tells you that James wants to talk, or you get that email from him?  I'm about to start the Priority: Citadel mission and haven't triggered the N7 talk yet.  I think i may have missed it.

I think Vega is human version of Garrus.
