I also echo the whole Zaeed is great in a fight/and great VO. He's also got an interesting back story and his dialogue is interesting. He should have been implemented better however.

HE IS JUST A GUN. that is all no impressive back story

[jimmyjoefro]

He's there to help you make the wrong decision for the fire squad leader...

[ruleonecardio]

He does have good Voice Acting, too bad his character face model doesn't fit with it in the slightest, not to mention those nasty looking lips. Just doesn't even look like they fit with that voice at all lol. Edit* 'm not knocking his char model either, it looks great, just doesn't go together.

Indeed. Poor Legion...

Anyway, I'm taking Zaeed along on my second playthrough, and I think his foul-mouthed old badass personality fits in well with much of the ME2 atmosphere and Shepard's mission, and many of his comments are hilarious (to me at least). I would have liked him to have standard conversation options, but on the other hand it does fit in with him simply being hired muscle who will likely take his Cerberus cash and bolt as soon as the job's over, assuming he survives.

I'd also like to add that after playing the whole game with Zaeed his VA differentiates more with the dialogue than a few of the other characters in those moments where there is the token "say stock line for clarity" deals

He needs more dialogue sure but his back story is hilarious. If you listen to his war stories you figure out pretty quick that he is always the only one of his team that comes out alive.

Then on his loyalty quest he lies about the refinery and without any warning reveals his true intention which is to kill a former associate which he does by blowing up the refinery and nearly getting the squad killed.

Add these two together and you will see why I laugh when people make Zaeed a fire team leader in the suicide mission. I'm laughing right now just thinking about it.

If there was face to face dialogue with Zaeed and a [punch him] option everytime he does something reckless I'd field him in the squad every mission.

I think price of revenge is a pretty cool guy. eh kills geht and doesnt afraid of anything.



Got a minute? You might learn something. Zaeed's perfect the way he is. Could you imagine him opening up to you and talking about his feelings? Nonono, his purpose in life is to be a bat**** insane old man, which he does flawlessly. The only downside to Zaeed is that we only got ONE mission centered around him! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. If we DO get an extra mission with him, some day in the distant future, and the writers make him anything but MORE bat**** insane, I will quit life. Zaeed is my partner in badassery. Together we explore the stars, unloading thermal clips on various flying vehicles.



I shud let you go. Toak mo' lay-uh, Sheppehds.

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

He's good for punching in the face.

[JayJayTG]

Proper buzzKill. He should retire.

[Alien1099]

Zaeed is my favorite squadmate. I don't know why, but I like taking him along as much as possible. I like his commentary and accent. He's a hoot.

[pelhikano]

I keep wondering how a guy with an arabic name who is a space mercenary ended up with a sort-of cockney accent.

[MutantSpleen]

I love Zaeed. To each his own I guess. I love his voice. He fits well with my Renegade. No back-story? He founded the Blue Suns, got shot in the face point blank and lived. He is just as interesting as other characters, and twice the badass in my opinion.



I love taking him on the Krolus mission where Jedore is always smack talking over loud speakers in the background and he says " Will someone shut this **** up!"

[Dezhem]

I didn't like him at first, he seemed to be kinda rushed. But I warmed up to him once I realised that it really suits him. He's a hired gun. He's not there to cry on your shoulder or you on his. He's lived a long time and done a lot of things. The Merc life suits him just fine; To him, this is just another job.



His VA does a great job and his character design was very well done. There's nothing wrong with Zaeed.

Lawrence of Arabia maybe?

[masterthehero]

I actually think Zaed is quite awesome. When it was time to pick who would lead the 2nd team, Zaed was the man for the job. Sure you may not get to know him very deeply, but he really reminds me of Canderous from Knights of the Old Republic. Had he interactive dialogue options he would have definitely been a favorite character of mine.

[GnusmasTHX]

I like him.



It's obvious the whole point of Zaeed was to please me, seeing as how BioWare loves me.

Thats no excuse, Shale was a great DLC character.

Yeah, Shale was amazing. I was expecting Zaeed to be just as well done, essentially a character made for the original game, but then taken out to be supplied as DLC (just like Shale).

But oh, how wrong I was. Zaeed is a craptastic NPC with no real character to speak of. It's like some kind of fan mod someone came up with in an afternoon. No dialogue, no character, no recruitment quest. That was a really low blow by Bioware. It has really been going downhill in certain departments these past few years...

[FutureBoy81]

Zaeed is a gun for hire no fuss, just kick ass and take names, also he throws a bit of comedy in my missions especially when a krogans coming lol, "Take that Effing krogan down " , dunno why so many people are complaining he was awesome , i found a team of him and jack were just unstoppable ...

[BARRAGE 74]

He is in the game because he is so sociopathically cool.

I really like Zaeed. And like others have said, he's funny and has a great VA. Do i wish he looked slightly different? yes. Do i wish he had better lips? yes. It would be really nice to have a recruiting mission for him and to actually talk to him with dialogue options maybe. But overall, I'm kinda glad that I don't have to be his flippin therapist. You're whole crew is crazy and needs you to deal with it, while Zaeed knows He's crazy and has moved on.

[Fulgrim88]

Believe it or not, i like that guy. In my books, he was far less bland than, say, Jacob.



There doesn't have to be the option to talk about how he's got a hard time as a kid, whats his favourite food, why his armor is yellow and whatnot.

He's a goddamn sociopathic Mercenary - why the heck should he tell you?



Actually i was pretty glad to have a normal guy around that ship, with everyone else telling you their life story without barely knowing you.

He's still well developed in his own right. Try bringing him with you on missions, he's got a lot of great comments & little stories going with most situations.

Zaeed is not a sympathetic character (that's the difference between him and the rest of the crew). Story wise - he doesn't bring anything to the table (even with his loyalty mission... though i do have to admit i wished all loyalty missions were like his 'the probability of you failing to gain their loyalty if you choose a certain path' only other one that you could possibly fail is Tali's/Samara's was more a cool twist).

Gameplay wise - I haven't tried the more challenging difficulties. But I barely found use for him throughout the whole entire time.

Next to Thane, he's the best sniper in the game.  Unlike Thane, you can also equip him with a Vindicator.  And more importantly, he has an AoE effect (2 if you count Concussive Shot) and Disruptor ammo, making the Geth easier to deal with.

From the time that you first get him, he makes a pretty solid companion to take along.

All the things you mentioned about Thane. Replace him with Garrus and your points are void. Garrus can carry an assault rifle. He does have the concussive shot and has two ways to deal with Synthetics... Overload and Armor Piercing Ammo when it comes to the big synthetics. Sadly you don't face a horde of synthetics since they are cleanup as "council member" Anderson would say. Haven't played Insanity yet (played hardcore) and didn't have trouble when recruiting Tali.
