 My bwoy jacob was a true to life P.I.M.P. He had both Femshep and Kasumi on his jock and abs that I have been working to get my whole entire life. People say jacob was boring but lets be real here, the fact that ME fans are still talking about his "The Prize" moment in ME 2 shows that he is one of the most popular characters in the Mass Effect universe.

Also, last I checked he still owes Manshep a drink on the Citadel being that we never got to get live and kick it in ME 2. Yo bwoy Blue supports Jacob for Mass Effect 3 and I know that I cant be the only one that wants to see the most prolific African American soldier make a return.

BTW, Wouldnt it be nice to see how much the "most boring guy on the Normandy"  grew.I really hope Bioware dont leave Jacob out of Me 3 because of how misunderstood his character was.<_<

His theme song?

[Vez04]

I agree Jacob was very cool and i personally liked his opionions when talking to him about SM/crew thoughts, and the ''We live, we get loud and spil some drinks on the Citadel.'', is just a qoute that i cant get out of my memory from him in ME2 , i have a small hope of seeing him in ME3 through

PS (Stupid question, just ignore it if you don't care) why did BW make a character with my name ? in a video game:P

While I don't really like him as much as the others, I definitely like him more than Kaiden (with his soft, story-book voice). I just hope he's funnier this time.

! In all honesty I could get jiggy with that.

[Harmless Crunch]

I'm sure he will appear in ME3 but I doubt he would be a squadie.
Sure he didnt have the most interesting of personallitys but he was still a nice guy.

"The Prize" is the butt of all Jacob jokes. It doesn't show he's one of the most popular characters at alllll.

And sorry, I'm not interested in his drinks on the Citadel. I'd drink with Conrad Verner before I drink with Jacob.

I'll give you the last bit though. Garrus in ME1 wasn't particularly eventful, but became wildly popular with 2. There's hope for Jacob. But I'm not holding my breath.

Because Mass Effect totally needs the token funny black guy, right?

He needs to have funny stories, and he needs to avoid being a stereotype.

What is there to 'misunderstand'? Jacob lacked enough substance to understand him, much less misunderstand him.

I don't dislike him, I blank him. He's nothing to me. I'd take him over a few other squadmates I actively dislike, but I really could care less if he shows up again.

I'm not saying that he is a stereotype currently. I'm saying that he needs to be funny, and avoid becoming a stereotype in the process.

I'd like to see him try. It's been a while since the last time I shot him.

I think Jacob is a bit of an underrated character, mostly because of how..strangely FemShep acts towards him (and to the guys, he's probably fairly flat and boring in comparison to other squaddies). It's a shame, he could have been really cool as a fellow ex-Alliance soldier that is dstrustful of Cerberus. He gets more hate than he deserves but I don't think he has enough good qualities to merit being a major character again, either as a squad-mate or otherwise.

Why does Jacob in particular need to be funny? Why not someone else?

Because Jacob is utterly unremarkable in both personality and back story. If it wasn't for the unintentional hilarity with femshep he'd be as forgettable as a random Blue Suns mook.

your all just racist, Jacob is the greatest.

They would't dare bring race into this. Jacob was the best out of that group.

So "funny black guy" is the first way anyone can think of as a means for distinguishing Jacob from the rest of the crew?

The problem as I see it is this, everyone has a different favourite character granted some are more popular than others, however everyone wants their fav to return as a squadmate or at least in a large role, its not going to happen, I think some people might be dissapointed.

It doesn't have to be about him being a 'funny black guy' stereotype. Humor is just a quick and easy route to likeability, especially if the character is supposed to be a 'buddy' type. Look at Alistair and Varric from the Dragon Age games, or heck, look at Joker. If you're the laid back, drama free character, that usually goes hand in hand with humor. Besides, it can never hurt to be funnier. People like funny.

Note: I'm not even agreeing with the previous poster that Jacob should become a funny guy, I don't think cracking jokes is his style (which is probably another reason why I don't care to see him back, I like the funny). I'm just saying, there are other ways of interpreting that than jumping to the 'you want him to be a stereotype!' conclusion.

Don't turn this into another "X characters can't come back/yes they can" debate.

Is Garrus comic relief? He's one of the most liked characters, and he's pretty much never used as such. He has some witty lines here and there but 'humor' isn't one of his defining characteristics. 

I'm just wondering why several people think Jacob needs to be made "funny."  I think I know why that is, I'm just curious to see if people can approach the reasoning honestly.

too be honest I like Jacob (not for his LI) but I did find him the most real character of them all.

He was one of those characters you could relate to alot but its just that their was not that many iconic moments with him apart from for the LI with him actually asking shepherd how she is and the priiize
