Why don't you like Jacob? Is it because of the cheating if you romance him? (which is, admittedly, super shitty. Great job on that one, Bioware.)

Oh my god, whoever wrote those dialogue lines were on something powerful to think they were good. At least we got a good laugh out of it???

Honestly, everything about that romance was underwhelming to me. (Which I was disappointed about because he's hot.) I didn't actually play it after I saw cutscenes.

The dialogue was so unsexy and irritating to me and I couldn't take him seriously. "But the prize" is possibly the most embarrassing dialogue in a Mass Effect game.

The cheating...ah, I'm annoyed by how the romance ended for sure (agreed, great job BioWare) and I certainly don't blame characters for moving on with their lives after a period of time (though I can't recall how long it had been, or if Jacob and Shepard had even 'broken up' by that point; I don't think so, which isn't okay), but it didn't sit right with me.

The romance stuff stands out more than the rest of his interactions...I guess I found him pretty forgettable.

Shep's dialogue was pretty cringe-worthy too, like goddamn. I never romanced him (too stuck on Garrus) but yeah, the Shep/Jacob dialogue was pretty fucking embarrassing.

If I recall correctly, Shepard was gone for six months. When I found out about how that romance ended - and that he knocked up someone else?!?!?!? - I was really, really disappointed. I guess it's because I always thought of Jacob as a really level-headed person, so the fact that he would cheat seemed out of character. Though I've heard that he's a total asshole if you flirt with him and then tell him you decided to go with someone else, so maybe not???

Anyway, he always came across as a very reserved person to me, at least compared to other squad members. I can definitely see how people would find him forgettable when compared to someone like Jack, or Wrex.

That is very true; everything about that romance was pretty bad. Poor decision making, BioWare.

Though I've heard that he's a total asshole if you flirt with him and then tell him you decided to go with someone else, so maybe not???

Not sure if I saw that scene, but I did always think that "prize" scene was skeevy. Idk, the wording of the dialogue (again with how bad it was, lol), the way the VA played it...it was a no for me. And if Shepard says, "We're not gonna fuck right now" he seems a bit angry and has a bitchy look on his face when he leaves. The whole thing rubbed me the wrong way, so although I was surprised by the cheating (six months is not that long! At least tell Shepard you want to break up before getting another woman pregnant!) I feel like I shouldn't have been.

Yea. Being reserved is not an awful thing, and a few of my favorite BioWare characters are pretty low-key (Kaidan, who most people hate, lol), but Jacob didn't stand out for me.

Ahahah oh wow, that's really shitty. Okay, now I understand the Jacob hate a bit more. I mean, the cheating was REALLY bad (doubly so but only fem!Shep gets to deal with that), but hearing that just makes him sound like an entitled asshole.

Sob, I love Kaidan so much, it makes me so sad that people hate him for no good reason. :C He's a genuinely nice guy who has his shit together. The fact that he's a beast out in the battlefield is a definite plus.
