I'm not sure what it is, but I just cannot stand Zaeed.  Can't put my finger on it.  I get it, he's a hardcore merc kind of guy, seen a lot of action, supposed to be a bad-ass, but he is not very endearing.  Maybe it's the lack of interaction with the character, maybe it's his total disregard for anything or anyone but himself....heck, maybe it's that Auzzie accent, I dunno.  I'm not saying he's poorly done, I'm just saying I can't stand him.
Anyone else feel this way?

EDIT:  "heck, maybe it's the BRITISH accent..."   for the sensitive, my apologies.

I like Zaeed, I just wish he was a little more fleshed out with actual dialogue. He had a lot of potential, but being a DLC character he didn't get the attention he deserved.

The accent has been confirmed multiple times to be English.

It's because you couldn't bond with him. He has grenades that are mighty useful though and he can shoot, unlike Jacob the Annoyer. Garrus is alive thanks to Zaeed.

Zaeeed doesn't have time for character interaction radials.  His 20 years career of being a badass began with a bullet to the head, and he's got advice for you that he dispenses with nostalgia.  Take it or leave it.

That's why I find him to be awesome.

Maybe the other one got shot off, and is one of the souvenirs in his room, with interesting story attached.  DLC addon anyone?

The total disregard for anyone but himself and general disregard for innocence is what makes him interesting.



Mass Effect needs more controversial, dark characters who cause conflicts like him, in my opinion. It's far more fascinating to have a group of people who aren't all going to get along and water pot plants together.

I adore him after his "men-in-the-hallways" line. Before that he was kinda there.



Oh, Zaeed.

I only keep him during his loyalty mission. As for him being badass;



Shepard:"So you got scars, Zaeed? Well look at my face. It's frigging glowing. You don't know the meaning of the word badass."



He think he is a boring stereotypical tough guy.

Eh, he was alright.  He was the only guy who died in my main playthrough, which is good considering I didn't really care much for him.

Maybe I wouldn't dislike him as much if he had actual dialogue.

There just wasn't enough character development on him for me to really care. He was useful, sure, for squad disruptor ammo and stuff, but he wasn't a great character like some of the other NPCs. ****, the Asari bartender had *way* more personality than Zaeed. Why couldn't we have her as a squadmate?

It's lower-class English.

The only problem I have with Zaeed is not with him personally, but with the fact there's no two-way dialogue available between him and Shepard when they're on the Normandy.

Zaeed is literally a Shepard that takes checks.



And he DOES have dialogue, check out the various things around his room, or listen to him tell his stories about the stuff he did, sure its not "Hi, how is calibrating going" "Well its good, let me tell you about this time I committed genocide on the planet Vergon 4, have a seat sonny" "Ok dad" it's still there.

Its actually British jeez, cockney to be exact

Though maybe it would be kind of harsh to assume that North Americans (another assumption)  to realise what cockney is. But still I am not impressed

BTW Anderson was born in London.
