Well I got a laugh out of that.

Got a funny glitch to tell you about, my friend was playing ME2 the other day and during Miranda's lines came out of Jacob. It was her voice but Jacob was saying them.

I get a similar glitch (well I think it's a glitch) during Thanes loyalty mission. When Shepard is on the catwalk and Thane is radioing in, Shepard's mouth moves to Thane's lines... perfectly. It's like the animators did it on purpose!

I have had that happen to me, it is strange.

Wow, I thought only HK-47 was capable of such feats.

Just started a ME2 character import run where Jacob was leveled up completlyand he is accurate as hell with the GPS, it was almost like he was sniping those vorcha then went "I put him down"

Jacob with the GPS is a beast. I was actually getting annoyed because he was kill stealing. 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for two specific future DLC, one revolving around the Virmire Survivor and the other focusing on ME2 LI. Jacob was really subdued in the game because he put the mission before his personally feelings, so I wouldn't mind seeing how Jacob acts during down time.

I agree, and it would give the writers the chance to fix his dialogue.

The most important things that needs to be fixed is FemShep and her "Sexy time, NAO!" lines. This is still the biggest problem with the Jacob Romance IMO.

@gashgfjaskgfkagh Your avatar is kick ass.



Anyway I hope Taylor will get personality in ME3 like in Mass Effect Galaxy.

Hale is a good VA and I wonder if it was her idea or someone at BioWare to do that creepy voice.

[Darc_Requiem]

I can guarantee that it was Bioware and not Hale. The voice director determines the tone of the dialog not the voice actor.

Or maybe Hale really liked his Abs.

[DirtyVagrant]

Darc is right on the money, in my opinion.

Bioware touts it's ability to be receptive to their fan's response to their games and characters so one direction they might take is not making female Shepard sound as sleezy around him. I think exploring his time and ties with the Corsairs has promise in injecting "excitement" into the character, I believe that has been a common musing throughout this thread.

It can't be repeated enough, from LoTSB you can see that Bioware actually looks through the fan threads. Maybe we should make a list about things we would like to change/be added?

Maybe finally giving Jacob an Assault Rifle?

But yeah, outside of tells of his adventures as a Corsair, I wouldn't mind him reflecting on his stance with Cerberus. Even though he's just the hid of security, he has to have more of an opinion on the organization. Miranda and her talks on Cerberus is one of the reasons I liked her. She was really honest about both their faults and benefits.

Shepard's reaction does indeed make it seem as though she sees Jacob as one handy slab of beef, and that there isn't more to it than that.  Which isn't really fair to him at all.  There's material there if they (the writers) try.  The only question is whether or not they will bother to give him screen time enough to be developed further.  Or perhaps they will try only to be told that his story has to be pared back to save on space.  Which would suck.

I admit Bioware did some questionable things with Jacob. The removal of Jacob's tech ability from ME:Galaxy. I would have given him 'tech heavy or area Sabotage' as a loyalty power in addition to his current skill set. It would overheat enemy weapons and inflict some damage to shields. The great thing about this ability is it would work on any enemy that holds a gun regardless of defenses.

His barrier skill should be available to him from the start as durability sets JT apart from most of the others and since a shotgun is his primary weapon. It's kind of hard to get close with a shotgun without a heavy barrier to back you up (just ask those two softies Jack and Tali). It's just common sense. I like the skill set JT has but the addition of Sabotage and Barrier available from the start would seal the deal.

Now Jacob volunteering for the vents during the suicide mission is very out of character for him compared to the rest of the game. It makes me wonder WTF they were thinking when they wrote that bit of nonsense. Very cliche in sci-fi. Intelligent, cautious Black guy sacrifices himself for no good reason.  "Sounds like a suicide mission.....I volunteer. " Really Bioware Jacob would say that?  "The prize" line doesn't bother me at all; but the volunteer bit?  C'mon.

Like a mixture between the arc projector weapon attack + Overload?
Sounds like a useful power! That would have made Jacob much more useful in combat!

Totally agree with you here. Barrier is a pretty weak from level one to three, and by the time people complete his loyalty mission they have to settle for the level one or two. They should have replaced that with Inferno Ammo (which I think is pretty useless for Jacob), at least that'll give people the chance to fill up the power bar!

Again. I totally agree with you. The line would have made more sense if he had at least one tech power.

I love inferno. Inferno ammo is best in shotguns and pistols so I wouldn't take that away from JT. It would be great if you could build your squad's powers. They could give you a choice between Jacob with pull or Jacob with Sabotage. Pull is the only power I would trade in for tech Sabotage.

The whole tech Sabotage thing would also match Jacob's job on the Normandy which is chief of weapons. Who better to disable them in combat?  Damn, Bioware should have thought of that.

[Darc_Requiem]

Hopefully Jacob makes the cut for ME3. I'm guessing we'll know that by E3.

[Sand King]

@Darc: One can only hope.



@mrsph: I have had that happen a few times but more often than not when he talks ether his mouth doesn't move or just his lips do (but this also happens to other human characters aswell).

Jacob has a better chance than most. He is a love interest afterall.

Also has anyone gotten that hilarious graphical glitch where Jacob seems to be rolling his eyes when he salutes Shepard?

Yeah I've gotten that glitch before. I've gotten the one where you go to the Armory and he isn't there before too.

I have had that one also, I wonder why there are many glitches involving Jacob.

I never ad a glitch with Jacob, I did had Miranda standing right next to TIM once though...
