First off let me say, I really do enjoy Zaeed. Hes got some great lines, every once and awhile. He seems like a pretty interesting character.

Seems, however, is the key word. He is the only character on your ship that doesn't have a dialogue tree. Theres no character development. He just is as he is!

When i heard they were releasing him, I was hoping he would be handled like Shale from Dragon Age: Origins. Shale was an extremely interesting characters with her own quirks. She had a personal side mission, and is tied directly into one of the main missions if shes in your party when you do it! They handled her DLC extremely well.

What does Zaeed do? he gets a few one liners, and shoots a Batarian in the leg. The fact that you get his Loyalty Mission right off the bat seems like a lack of effort. Overall a waste of a potentially good character.

Bioware, I love your games, and most of the extra content you release but, please, I'm beging you, don't let us down on future DLC characters like you did with Zaeed!

Do you go down to talk to him in The Normandy? He tells some really great stories that let you get to know him. He's actually one of my favorite squad members.

Yeah I do, but you don't get to respond to him. I love the character but i felt kind of short changed.

He has VERY interesting ol' Warstories! :D

Mr Z was very well done (his face and voice), and his character surely shows he is a hardened battle-scarred veteran.

He has quite the efficiency in combat as well, his Loyalty Skill isn't half-bad either! :)

Great character!

Only thing is missing is a romantic storyline for our mature female-playerbase that wants a man fine like old wine! :D

He was FREE. Don't complain, or they might start charging us for cerberus net content

He was free AND great... seriously. He had alot to say but just didn't have a tree. Which in a way... is perfectly fine.

A tree was deem un-necessary. I have no problems with it, save that I can't space bar through the conversation.

I think the DL was only 48mb. Shales was like 400+? For them to make a full mission all the dialog that he says throughout the game for 48 mbs I have to say that is a great job on Bioware.

Ooo, Zaeed has a bunch of dialogue in the Archangel mission if you talk to the Blue Suns.

He was free because he should've been included in the game to begin with.

Well so was Shale, for pretty much the same deal. I would've happily given up more room on my harddrive for a bit more interaction with Zaeed.

Except Shale was in because of the console delay, since there was no such thing for ME he was added as DLC, not something that would of been in the game otherwise.

I just have to add, Zaaeed was a GREAT character in almost every aspect.

The look, the voice-acting, his story and efficiency in battle etc.

I can understand that the audience wants more of Z though! (since he is so well-done)

Oh, I was unaware of this. Thanks for that little fact.

I like Zaeed, but I wish that he had a recruit mission, and that his conversations were interactive, but he was an interesting character, no clue how what I did got his loyalty, apparently he has a soft spot for extraordinarily charming men

He was DLC, you can't expect that much. I thought he was a cool character.

Zaeed is my favorite character to roll with in the early game.

Yes, he was my first Loyal SquadMember! :D



A GREAT addition to the Squad!



Not one but TWO people tossin' Inferno Grenades all over the place surely turned up the heat for Blue Sun!

He was meant to be on the disc, but was cut. You are getting him as is, hence the free. They didn't have time to fully flesh him out, as they did with Shale. So instead of getting nothing. You get something, even if he isn't as fleshed out as the other party members. I prefer this, rather than it being cut. Sometimes the cut stuff is really great, like the factory in KOTOR II and that zoo in FFXIII(heck they cut an entire game out of it, don't tell me none of that stuff is good.) Deadlines are evil necessity, but a necessity nonetheless, it's good to see that with the rise of DLC we can get those "deleted scenes" as it applies to our medium.

I wouldn't mind purchasing a future 2 gig DLC focusing on Zaaeed, with some added places to go, people to meet etc.

I'm just happy he could participate in the suicide mission.
