 No. This is not a Vega hate thread. I dislike Vega but that's not going to be a part of this. 

But... let's take a look at Vega for a sec

-Gigantic, Burly dude
-Soldier class
-Resident dumb brute of the Normandy

Vega is Wrex without any of the charm.

It seems very obvious that Vega was created to be our new Krogan stand in.

But, we had a perfectly servicable Krogan already!

Who is Wrex?

-A Shepard Veteran
-A Close friend of Shepard (Seriously, replay Tuchanka in ME2. He ****ing loves you.)
-Someone Shepard has had a lot of personal history and experience with
-Loved by the fanbase
-Pure Badass
-Leader of the ****in' Krogan.

Now, I know every poster is about to yell about how Wrex is pre-occupied.
This could've been easily retconned or shoehorned.
E.G) Have Wrex reveal he's been training Grunt as a protege. Grunt is in charge in Wrex's abscence.
Have Wrex command the Krogan through Normandy computers


So, I just ask.... Why did Bioware choose to replace the slot of a well loved character with some new guy who's pandering to the Gears crowd?

James is the odd one out on the Normandy. Literally everyone else on the squad is an old friend (or lover) of Shepard, not counting Javik(As he is DLC, I don't count him) Hell, with the exception of EDI, it's the ME1 squad minus Wrex.

So, why didn't Wrex get off his ass and get back in the Storage Bay?

The answer is simple any character you had the option to kill couldn't be a character in 3.

Garrus and Tali were still valid party members, but they were also available in the first.  Although, now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if he was added just to make sure you had a valid party of 3 at all times.

Although I have no major issues with Vega.  I was actually pretty impressed with Freddie Prinze Jr.'s performance.
