I saw in some poll someone had done that 38% of people would choose Zaeed to be cut from the game. Am I the only one who liked him?

Maybe it's the fact that I'm also from England? He sounds a lot like my uncle, except my uncle is a plumber and not a renowned mercenary.

Well, as far as I know...

I didn't mind the fact that he doesn't converse (would have preferred it if he did, but hey). I love his stories about Jessie. Just reminded me a lot of Jayne Cobb and Vera.

Anyway, who else liked him? I can't be the only one.

I love Zaeed. The most badass guy on the ship.

I think more people would like him more if you could have conversations with him instead of just clicking on him for some dialog.

I liked him, his stories were fine, but Garrus and Thane both can use sniper rifles and each have other good skills that he doesn't (overload, throw) so when picking people to take with, it's usually better to take people with skills that will aid you more than being able to shoot a little bit farther.



I went and talked to him after every mission, but I only ever used him on his loyalty mission.

I wanted to shove him in that trash compactor thing.

I liked him the best.



Mostly because his loyalty mission didn't involve how he never played catch with his kid or how his dad never played catch with him.

I think Zaeed was awesome. A bit cliche, reminded me a lot of "psycho" from Crysis in his own way (mostly the accent + bravado) but he filled a certain cliche that was most welcome to me. Also, watching him light his nemesis on fire by EJECTING A HEATSINK into a pool of gasoline, followed by him walking http://tvtropes.org/...OutOfTheInferno OUT OF THE INFERNO was just too awesome. Immediate +10 for Zaeed and i used him every chance i got from then on.

Also is it just me, or does his particular set of scars + that bad eye resonate with anyone else? I mean the man's hideous visage is actually fixating. Awesome, well made character. Far more interesting than Jacob, Miranda, or even Jack to me.

Zaeed was my favourite, my friends and I affectionately refer to him as Grandpa or "gramps"



Actually I lied a certain Solarian doctor was my favourite, but Zaeed was second favourite! I really hope to see him in ME3

Psycho? Huh, didn't remind me of psycho. Too sadistic. If Colonel Quaritch from Avatar was british, though, he'd be Zaeed... :ph34r:

I think he's hard to like because he is selfish enough to let civilians die for the sake of a grudge. Bastard. I'm going to let him die holding the door.

He's allright, aside from the fact that you can't really interact with him.

The main problem that I have with him, is that he's the pinacle of the "old mercenary who doesn't give two quarters of a rats ass about anything because he's so old that he's see and done everything" stereotype.

hes a case of missed potential, he has no story relevance (i swear i didnt even see him in the suicide mission), no dialouge that include shepard actually responding, and a loyalty mission that while awesome gives utterly no character insight; yea he is a hardcore merc, anything else to you zaeed? not helped by the fact that his inferno grenade is useless. he couldve been an interesting character, but as he is he is little more than decoration for the cargo bay and one fun sidequest.

He's fine, I only had to put him back on track during his loyalty mission, I wouldn't stand there letting people burn alive for a single ass hole in the universe, he wasn't worth it, I said screw it, took Zaeed by the collar and showed him who was boss, no way he's gonna walk on my ethics and morals because he screwed up his own life and because TIM basically forced him upon my crew and my goals, if he wants to be part of the team he certainly wants to be on my side of the medal.

After that, he remained loyal anyway. I like some of his stories on the Normandy when he speaks to you, he has that grandpa story teller ability thing that others on the ship don't have in my opinion. One of the fun stories was about cigarettes and how I shouldn't smoke because he can kill, I was like "heh, I heard that one millions of times", then resumes on the actual reasoning behind that, then I laughed, I thought "good one BioWare, hehe".

I like Zaeed, he's alot like me, but takes checks. Aslong as its not my money, we're ok.

That, and the fact he's the only one that gets punched with a Paragon interupt, and has one of the best loyalty abilities in the game (I so had to make that ability my own).

There's nothing wrong with a cliche character, but the lack of character interaction and development just made him feel like an afterthought bolted on to the side of the game, which he is, given that he's a DLC character. This is why I don't like DLC -- the content never feels "right" with the rest of the game.

He feels like a disconnect only because he's DLC. He's the new kid, essentially. At first I was annoyed with him, but dammit if he didn't kind of grow on me.

You just don't get the opportunity to get to know him the same way that you do the other squadmates.

The only issue I had with Zaeed was that there was no lead up to meeting and recruiting him. He's just same random guy donkey punching a batarian hobo over and over at the dock entrance of Omega Station. That didn't instill any love of him with me.

His stories and in-cabin interaction was nice and a good throwback to what I loved about Wrex conversations, but that was all he was.

Don't care one way or another. DLC mission fine. Inability of further interaction problem, however.

Hopefully you think that the Normandy Crash Site is one heck of an exception to that rule (which I do agree with most of the time). Because that one sent me chills up my spine, it was very pognant.
