Nope. Searched Mass Effect, Mass Effect 3, Paragon Lost and every combination you can think of and found nothing. Of course, if it were a dupe, you guys would only notice if I did it. ;)

Vega really? why make a movie focused on the most bland and uninteresting character in the ME universe? The smoking Elchor would have been more interesting than this,or how about a Blasto movie.

@3 I’m sorry, but Vega was a huge step up from Kaiden and Jacob, who easily *are* the most boring characters in the Mass Effect universe. They could barely even come up with anything to do with Jacob, unlike 90% of the cast.

I never met Kaiden, since I had the PS3 edition and he died in my comic (same with Wrex), but Jacob and Vega are both awful characters.

Well i am glad he has his fans but to me he was like a Jersey Shore reject.Ans yes i do agree Kaiden and Jacob are pretty uninteresting also,in fact i never found any of the human crew to be of much interest.

@6 As they say, never judge a book by its cover. Regardless of how he looks, Vega most certainly doesn’t have a “Jersey Shore” personality.

The character was presented in a very humbling manner, which took me completely off guard, since I *was* just expecting a obnoxious, overblown hardass.

But he was a complete jughead, flying a shuttle suicide like into another and “dancing” with Shepard to drinking,playing cards and just spouting nonsense about being the ultimate badass,what about his character did you find humbling?

@8 You completely ignored half his story if that’s all you see.

He admits that the N7 is a lot of hard work, questions if he’s ready for much that responsibility, feels guilt over his efforts not measuring up the results, lots of other stuff. He’s far from a jughead. The “badass” thing is just silly oneupmanship. He fully admits his own concerns of failure to you on numerous occasions.

Having a drink and socialising with some colleagues doesn’t make you a jughead. Geez.

I didnt ignore any of his story,i have played through the game multiple times.He came off as a completely predictable bore to me,pretty much how i thought he would be since seeing early previews of him,there was nothing in his character that made me stand back and think maybe i had misjudged him.In your opinion he is an interesting character,to me he is the least interesting in the Mass Effect trilogy,that is all their is to it.At least i am happy they are making a Mass Effect anime, perhaps they can springboard off this and make more about other characters that would be of more interest to me.

@10 That’s what I find quite funny about this. I had the exact opposite reaction. I thought I’d hate him, but didn’t. Hahaha. Oh well.
