I would argue that Nyreen's sacrifice was pointless -- she, Aria, and Shepard together could have probably taken those Adjutants. I'm indifferent to the idea of more squadmates, but as for the other deficiencies of the Omega DLC, I think those have been discussed elsewhere on this page.

As for Vega ... he's a meathead, a grunt who doesn't know anything about what's going on. He also has some definite discipline problems, and if I could I'd kick him off the Normandy because of that. And in addition to that, his unnecessary, American-accented Spanish annoys me and causes me to put him squarely in the "token ethnic" box. (And Mass Effect has shown it can do a good job with other ethnicities, too -- Kasumi and the Japanese cop on Noveria spring to mind. My personal interpretation of Vega is that he's not actually the least bit Hispanic, and his use of Spanish is just an affectation because he thinks it sound cool.)
