Yeah, he was kinda corny, but I genuinely liked him. I don't get why there was such a backlash about his addition to the roster. After all, we got a ton of new characters added in ME2, and nobody whined about that, right? So why not have new squaddies in 3?


Where's the "not sure you serious" joker picture when you need it...

It's not even needed.

Ehh.. I kinda question why they gave us him over Javik, I understand that they are using him as the main character for the anime (interest lost for me).

The anime is not his purpose within Mass Effect 3. Also, Javik's role in the game isn't even essential.


Well according to an old game informer, Bioware says he is supposed to reflect the perspective of those new to the series.

However non-essential Javik is, I still feel he would have been a better addition to the team than Vega.. Vega is a grunt and if I had the option he would have been canon fodder, felt the same about Ashley and she always dies in my playthroughs. Though, I might keep her alive if I ever have the will to play through all the way to ME3 again..

Javik is a prothean, that race that had a rather important role from the beginning of the series, slightly less important in ME2, and again very important in ME3. Also gives us more perspective on grander things in the universe like the previous cycle.

Christ! Anderson does NOT die at the end. At least, not that we see anyway...


???

He bleeds to death right in front of you... and then the space station his corpse is on explodes.

Pretty sure he's dead...


!!!MORE SPOILERS BELOW!!!

!!!REALLY, LIKE, MASSIVE ONES!!!


Ah, I see.

Yeah, in that case Anderson does die.

Just after you walk down an actual, literal corridor on the citadel that is an actual, literal amalgamation of Shepard's memories and have an actual, literal chat with the illusive man who has actually, literally just appeared out of nowhere while actual, literal tendrils of black stuff reach actually and literally into your mind and just before you go and have a conversation with an actual, literal child who is actually and literally made of light and who actually and literally controls the reapers and who makes you make an actual, literal choice between three possible conclusions all of which leads to an actual, literal collapse of all the mass relays and sends an actual, literal shockwave out across the galaxy which only the Normandy, which is actually, literally being flown by Joker with all your teammates actually, literally on board, can actually and literally survive.

Yeah, then he dies. Literally.

This is getting daft now.

I liked Vega. Plain, simple, comical relief differing from the rest of the crew, someone stupid to make the rest of the idiots (like myself) feel a little less dumb... I also liked how regardless of the fact that he was an Officer, he still had the "junior" feel around Shepard. Total Conrad Verner, without the wife. now if only he were a LI...

I liked the fight scene with him. I destroyed him in a few hits and then dropped a line that changed his life. That's what Shepard is about.

He was an extremely offensive character. Did we really need a Hispanic stereotype? All that was missing was the bean and cheese.

I really hope Bioware did it unintentionally. I really, really hope.

If you're going to do a minority, try portraying them positively rather than as a brute.


What the heck are you talking about?  Other than occasionally using spanish, what about him was stereotypically Hispanic?

I also don't get the whole thing about him being a brute.  Did you actually use him?  Or just say "oh, he's muscular, must be a mindless thug?"   Because he's not brutish at all.

I thought he was okay ( not exactly a glowing endorsement but but at least I did not hate him ).

My first impressions of him weren't very good, I didn't begin to warm up to him until I heard/saw some of his banter with Steve Cortez. Sadly other squadmates do kind of outshine him at the end of the game, I guess it's the curse of the human male ME squadmates.

I did not really care much about him, neither liked or disliked him as he was badly developed.
To me it seemed that there was more character development with Cortez than this guy.

Dislike him. Dislike him slightly less when he crashed a shuttle into Dr Core's shuttle at Mars, but still don't like him because he's just a generic human compared to all the other squadmates who've been with you from previous games, or are prothean and therefore automatically awesome. And because he probably replaced any possibly krogan squadmate.

Personally, i hated him.


Fair enough, that's cool, but I can imagine that he would be the only peson in the galaxy to call Renegade Shepard 'Lola' and not get a new space blown between his eyes.

Therefore, he is ace.


You can tell him to never do it again. He's resentful, but so far he's kept his trap shut and calls my femshep Commander.  "this is not a Democracy."

I thought he was pretty useless, abrasive meat head. Personally I would of rather had Jack back.

I liked him, for the most part. There wasn't much development to him, though. He was a static character, but not a bad one. Too bad he wasn't a romance option.

I did no tcare for him in any way... for me the most bland personality to ever be in a mass effect tale...

No Hate no love, nothing. And that's the worst thing. They reduced the rooster of playable characters to allow the player go deep with the knowledge of those people and their psychology. But why waste one spot for such a guy like him?

Yes, he's sexy. I take him along with me often. I enjoyed the flirtation between James and femshep.

Tl, Dr. I thought vega was an interesting new character but he was underdeveloped and lacked dimension. He seemed to be only what you could see. I liked the fact that despite his uneasy relationship with my Shepard that he warmed up to his new CO and devoted himself 100 percent of the time to the cause and that he even went to my Shepard to ask about the N7 program. He seemed like if he had his own personel mission he would have been my top favorite instead of Garrus. Don't get me wrong shepards bromance with garrius is legendary but if farther hadn't made it past me2, vega would have been a fine replacement in my book and that's all I've got to say about that.

I really liked him, but his story kind of drops off quite quickly and you don't get to interact with him much after a bit on the ship. A shame really.

I thought he was a pretty cool addition, had interesting dialogue, good powers, good voice acting. Don't understand all the hate.

He was fun, but the forced flirting as FemShep felt a bit weirdish. I know it's all friendly but it's weird. Espeeeecially after "are you ready to be a one turian kind of woman?".

Awkward.

Isn't that a flaw on FemShep trying to jump his bones but never do it?


Probably learned lesson from Jacob.

You know, reading these past few posts, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Vega signature would be: "James Vega-Such a Bro".

I hated him. He felt like a stilted, one-dimensional, tacked-on charachter who added nothing substantial and I regret that there was never an option to get him off my ship. He never really developed as a charachter. He came in being one way and at the end of the game he was the same way, no matter what you did to him. Also, I didn't think Vega was particularily "bad-ass", not like Wrex, Jack or even Zaeed, so that point was lost on him too. To top it all of, he wasn't even charismatic, which might have outweighed his shortcomings in other areas. All in all, he made a bleak addition to the crew and made weak impression as a charachter. I hope Bioware shelves this character in any future installment or spin-off to the Mass Effect series.
