I think characters of DLC Reckoning showed what most players liked the most. They liked Zaeed, EDI and Nyreen, they choosed krogans over salarians and geth over quarians. Maybe Talon Merc was designed as Zaeed in Robin Sach'es memory, not just because players like Zaeed. Collector adept was a surprise.
