It seems like people are quick to assume he's worthless. BUT, he may prove to be the most kick-ass crew member combat-wise, so try to keep an open mind.
Reminds me of when they first revealed Jack for ME2. My friends were all "she's so lame! I can't believe they made such a stupid goth girl for Mass Effect!"
Now? They're complaining that Vega isn't going to be anywhere near as awesome as Jack was (who, by the way, ended up being both of their romantic leads because she was "such a more interesting character than anyone else in the game."
Seriously, there just isn't any pleasing some people until they have the game in their hands. Next year I'm sure it'll be all "Vega was so cool!"
If there's one thing Bioware EXCELS at, it's making interesting, multi-layered characters. I'm more concerned about having the 10 billion variables tying together coherently. There is a TON of data for them to keep track of and account for. I don't know how Casey Hudson sleeps at night. He must have a team of cyborgs whose only job is to track every one of those variables and slap him on the wrist every time he tries to move the plot forward without taking all 10 bajillion of them into account. *shudders*
