    One tone, but some dudes are just bastards and they don't need to have some soft side or hidden good motivations. I liked it.

    really speaks to the voice actors performance that a character like zaeed apparently resonates with a good bit of people.

    Yeah I liked him. The only shame was that he was gimped in his dialogue on the ship.

    I think he had plenty to say, just never in a dialog wheel. Like Kasumi, you go back after every story mission/new squadmate and he'll usually have something new to say. Which I didn't figure out til my 3rd play-through, making him WAY WAY cooler.

    I wasn't a fan of the character of Zaeed but his voice work was fantastic. I'm also rather fond of Galaxy Quest and Buffy... so, yeah. That blows.

    The voice definitely made the character, rather than the other way around.

    I really enjoyed his voice as Zaeed. When I had the choice to leave a party member with Garrus while under attack, I knew Zaeed would make sure Garrus stayed alive while I was gone. That was a pretty awesome moment, that feeling that he had my back and I could trust him to get the job done, even if it's a minor moment in the grand scheme of that game.
