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.
