I will give Vega a chance since the actor seems like a nice guy who knows his stuff.
I wonder how its going to play off if you play as Femshep. I know chicks can fight, but it wouldnt seem realistic with Vega taking out his frustration on a chick like that... or maybe it does. And I'm guessing/hoping its an optional thing like he says, "Want to spar with my Shep?" and you say, "Fuck off".
Yeah same here. I don't really get the hate for Freddy, I mean he seems really passionate and such about the games, and his character. I have faith he'll do his best for sure.
Guy's just as dead-eyed and robotic IRL, so don't blame Bioware.
The problem is that he doesn't really look badass, Bruce Willis looks badass, Viggo Mortensen looks badass, Gerard Butler looks badass, heck maybe even Eric Bana looks badass in Blackhawk Down, this guy just looks like an old male supermodel which is what he is, he doesn't look like some hardass military commando dude at all, and that voice.
I think that was kinda the point. He was supposed to look sleak as that fit into the 70's Sci-Fi theme the original had going.

That march release date is killing me.
I don't get the vega hate.
If I were to form a group that is going to fight giant robots from space I would rather have the dudebro soldier that knows how to handle a gun than the multifaceted guy with too many issues to pull The trigger.
But that's just me, I want to survive.
He looks rugged enough. Not every soldier has to be a roided dudebro.
Shepard's expressionlessness is the current-gen equivalent of everyone in Final Fantasy X calling your main character 'star player of the Zanarkand Abes' over and over again because they let you name him.
Is it nice to be able to customize your character's appearance? Sure. But don't be surprised when there are some MASSIVE trade-offs in animation and expression quality.

Uh, what?HP_Wuvcraft said:Sadly, people will blame this on EA.
But this is also a video game with lots of other alien races. If I wanted to play a game with more human allies, I would pick up one of the dozens in stores.
Wasted opportunity, is all.
Reminds me of:
Yeah it's weird. I'd actually prefer FPJ over Vega in my team.What I don't get is if FPJ voiced the character, why didn't they just model Vega after him? At least he'd be good-looking as opposed to the monstrosity that Vega looks like now. My guess is the voice acting casting call was made after the modeling?
Yeah it's weird because when I imagined Vega's voice it wasn't even close to FPJ.Yeah it's weird. I'd actually prefer FPJ over Vega in my team.

Maybe they will remodel him again because his current model (as of in the video) still stands out because his head is like the size of Maleshep's torso.
The game will be gold in like 3-4 weeks tops.

Because he is a bland, generic, boring marine type dude in a game that due to genre alone has almost unlimited possibilites. I don't think that many people were initially attracted to the ME series because it offered a hard military shooter experience on space filled by a human crew mainly, or at least I would like to think that is not the case, but Bioware sure is set on pushing it hard that way. Besides, Jacob kind of already filled that role.
Fist fight aside, the animations look really good.
I like the idea behind the character, but knowing Bioware I feel like they won't handle the character well at all.
One of these days Obsidian needs to do a Mass Effect game. I fell like they could do something amazing with this universe.
No Jacob does not fill Vega's role. Vega's role is to show the effect the past years and current events are having on society. His role as the PTSD soldier gives some sort of emotional depth to the game. Look at Halo, regular soldiers are seeing entire fucking planets razed and yet PTSD is rarely if ever brought up. He also can easily work as a foil for Shepard to voice his/her feelings on previous events. Now as to whether he had to be human? My guess is that this was done in order to more easily connect with the audience.

These reapers sure look like the Turrets from Portal in this shot.
what.
Where did the PTSD part come from?

Nothing I've seen suggests what you say. Sure, he brings a soldier's perspective to the game (like we don't have enough of those already), but he's shown to be just a more loyal-than-most and hard, marine. That's it. (I did not read the leaked script before anyone goes that way). If they manage to make something interesting with the character I can accept it, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe the compaison to Jacob wasn't apt, I'll give you that. I was talking more about having the soldier type, fit, weapons dude.
And yes, I was coming from the position of having more interesting aliens in your team, not just human soldier types again and again.
They're really rubbing those masks into my face....
