gave Jacob a simple escort job, couldn't even do that smh

I laughed and then I thought..."oh, Jacob". So..let's talk Jacob.

I have a lot of issues with the way people respond to Jacob...because I LIKE Jacob BUT I feel like his character was an afterthought. In other words, he had a lot of potential for depth that we never saw. To me, it felt like Miranda, Thane, Jack, and Mordin were intended to be the main "new" characters in ME2 (to coexist with our loves - Garrus, Tali, etc) and then the developers went "oh, f@@@" - what if someone does not like Miranda/Jack or Thane since Mordin is not a romance option? We need a proxy Kaidan/Ashley". Thus...Jacob was born.

I say this as someone who always does FemShep (praise be our goddess Jennifer Hale), I always felt Jacob was written to fill the character gaps from ME1 and put in an additional romance option for female Sheps. If so, meh. The thing is IMHO...the FemShep/Garrus romance is the best if you are are doing a m/f romance.

Other than that...if you are playing male Shep...Jacob is just there. In my time playing male shep, my "bros" are Garrus, Wrex, and (to an extent) Mordin". I digress....but it makes it feel like Jacob was a "obvious option" for a FemShep romance. Just look that the facial expressions they have FemShep do when she interacts with Jacob on the Normandy. WTF, Shep? Unless you have an interest in Jacob, her reactions make ZERO sense.

The long story longer...it feels like Jacob is just boring if you do not want to romance him. Sorry but it is how I feel...

Least favorite missions? (Contains Spoilers!) Do you consider TIM a “bad person” in me2? Let's talk about beards! You are now leader of the Quarians during the first war with the Geth. What do you do differently to resolve the war? The "Gift"? I wish Bioware had done what Bethesda did and allowed mods on the console versions of the legendary edition Why Is Control Generally Seen As The Worst Ending? Liara is a Loner List of choices to make in ME1 Legendary for best outcome in ME3? Recommend mods for Legendary Editon ? A small change that I think would have slightly improved the ending of ME3. Did anyone else’s Shepard go from optimistic Paragon to unhinged by the end of the series? I planned on having a selfless War Hero and she ended up a psycho lol (ME1/2/3 comparison) Do you guys have any lore based headcannons? Kai Leng should've been a squadmate in Mass Effect 2 How do you use your squad? Do you roll with the same squaddies because they’re your ride or die mates? Do you use specialists depending on the enemy type and their abilities? Or do you spread it around for variety?
