I love the proportions on his upper body. His hands seem so tiny compared to his chest and shoulders. I know its the armor, but its still hilarious.Y2Kev said:

It's more akin to an overly tight tunic.
Still looks completely out of place and inappropriate for someone like Ash.

Is the the dude on the right or left of Ashley? The guy on the left doesn't look that bad. (That's Kaidan isn't it)

How did I miss this thread?
Good lord. I mean, my mouth just dropped in aw at the image. What is this? What on God's green earth is this?
I just... geez. I'm just shaking my head. I don't know what else to say.

He doesn't look buff to me. He looks like a fat bully.

I'm not really sure why they couldn't have just kept Zaeed. He was a fun character that deserved some more content and lines.

James Vega is the reason the Reapers want to destroy humanity.

Pretty much. Shame that so many felt emasculated by who I thought was a pretty dynamic character.
Anyways....something interesting about Ashley's design is that they actually show her neck. Usually the characters have some kind of choker and I remember reading that this was done because the characters looked funny without them. Guess they found a way to fix it?
Vega is like.....everything I hate about games like this. Come the fuck on.

Ok seriously the bridge of Ashley's nose is all kinds of fucked up.

Good thing there's an infinite supply of characters and wasting time on shitty looking ones doesn't take away from good ones.

The new character bioware was promising.Ezalc said:
Dang it. Ashley's got a freaking mini skirt and high heel combat boots. Bioware, I want my soldier ashley back. What's wrong with all of you?
Yeah... so if given the choice to axe one of your squad in some suicide mission I'm pretty sure most people are going to choose the new dudebro with the mohawk they haven't seen before.
Since the cast of characters is going to be limited to begin with, why the heck is this guy introduced as opposed to simply returning another character in his place?
Something tells me Vega is going to be the gay romance for Shepard and I feel bad for gay Shepard.

Dear lord, don't give Bioware any ideas.
You have to admit...it wouldn't be shocking if she was now a Justicar.

I didn't even notice Ashley was in heels. What the fuck, no, the professional soldier does not wear heels to a firefight.

Ash looks great, I find a lot of the complaints about her redesign are over the top. Hell, even Kaidan looks pretty good, Bioware have done a much better job with hair.
Vega looks god awful, but I pretty much expected that from when we saw that tiny image of him from the collectors edition stuff. Body proportions are weird and looks bland.

I guess at this point it's impossible for the industry to create a tough muscular character without them being labeled as a "dudebro".

Anyone feels it necessary to get that "muscular" is a dudebro.The Xtortionist said:
Samara said:
The problem is that it kind of goes against what we know of her as a character, which leaves us wondering if Bioware did it just to please that LCD crowd they're chasing right now.

Yeah, I would love some new alien squad members, and there is still a lot of potential there. I'd love to team up with a narcissistic Volus or really anything but another unremarkable human.

No, but crucially they cannot create tough, muscular, generic characters without them being labeled dudebro. When your character is wearing slate-grey armor that looks like it weighs more then he does and features a haircut that is either the generic model that comes with the modelling software or the style sported by most bullies in feel good high-school movies, your character is going to be labeled "dudebro"The Xtortionist said:

Or maybe, I don't know...ridiculous physical strength might be a good thing to have in combat?

It makes perfect sense for a random Alliance soldier to be "generic". I haven't seen anything to suggest that Vega is special.

100% right.X26 said:
Whether or not you liked her because of her personal beliefs, you can't deny that she wasn't a step up from most female characters in games.
I would take just about anything over this.Ezalc said:
I don't want to jump the gun and start assuming stuff, but what can we really expect to get out of this character that the other human characters haven't already given us? Ugh....
Shoot, a batarian squadmate would be crazy interesting just to have some sort of conflict/resolution content between humans and batarians on board.
