I used to hate him, but he turned out alright. The VA did a pretty good job, and he just seemed like a nice guy overall.

This should explain why a lot of people hate him.

Nerds hate when new things get added to their franchise of choice.

That's my theory of why Vega gets so much hate, I quite liked him, wish there were actual conversations with him and the other crew members though.

Vega turned out to be a bro, haters hated him cause of his looks and never gave him a chance after reading all the hater threads on Vega.

Garrus and Vega = Bro squad.


This exactly.
I wish we had Vega in ME2 too instead of Jacob

To be honest, when I saw the character at first glance I thought he
would be lame but when I started playing with him, his delivery began to
grow on me.  He is much more than just a meathead as I've read on these
forums.  His delivery of his little quirps, and his yes's and no's were
quite entertaining.   I thought he was a good addition to the game, he
was JUST a grunt, not someone with a rough past and/or a leader/high
ranking member of a prior organization/gang (atleast from what I
gathered from the game) or a briliiant scientist with philosophical
knowledge so his dialogue was natural to me.


As a character he was good, like you I thought he was funny (he conversation with Javik in the Kitchen was hilarious).
The problem I have though is that he is the Krogan replacement... They gave him a Krogan's power set and even tried to make his build resemble a Krogan. If they had him there with a Krogan squadmate, I'd have no problem with him.
Having no Krogan squadmate is a crime but to replace a Krogan with another Human is an even bigger crime.

Overall, I had no problem with him other than the use of stereotypical language that the script writer made him say.....you know what I mean "Loco." lol

It seems the only people who hate him are the ones who haven't played the game yet or never gave him a chance. I think most people found him surprisingly likeable.

I really enjoyed Vega. I think it was interesting to have someone who was just starting his career vs been there done that. There were a lot of the old guard that didn't move me at all, so it was nice to have an enthusiastic marine.

I think my Shepherd needed a bit of being treated like a human, instead of a legend. I know others did that as well, (GARRUS) but the whole team was a bit tired after all they had done in the past and doubting themselves.

I thought Vega was fine. Same with the Chobot reporter. They weren't great but they didn't hurt the story for me either.

I thought Vega was pretty cool. Took him on plenty of missions.

And I laughed at all of the MST3K Space Mutiny references on these boards because of him.

Pretty much agree. I also didn't think much of him when he was announced, but it didn't take long for me to warm to the guy. Quite humerous, and more relatable.

It's a shame a lot of his dialogue didn't involve you engaging with him like you did with characters in 1 and 2. In fact, that goes the same with most characters, but James was probably the worst offender. Still, as I say, he was sound, and he did have many funny moments with Cortez and Garrus (especially the latter).

He was an awesome squadmate to take into battle, too. His 'nade and Carnage abilities were great compliments to Liara's Biotics, and my stealthiness.

I gues Vega is there as the new guy, a character that always asks the qustions new players would have.

That said, I usually get more interesting comments from my older squadmates.

I liked his character.  I think he is just getting the shaft from the "loyalists" of ME because they would have rather seen Thane, Jack, Grunt, Miranda, etc. on board instead. I thought he added a good lighthearted element to the squad when all the other characters have been carrying these huge burdens on their backs for so long.  

I also think he's improperly  compared to Jacob.  Jacob was much more bland than James, and I think James' dialogue is wittier and paints a better picture of his character.  He is also a very good squadmate, unlike Jacob who I thought pretty much every character surpassed him on the battlefield.

I thought Vega was a pretty cool guy, and as a biotic, he is a pretty good addition as a solider to my squad!
