"Gravity is a mean mother huh?" Every I hear these words I want to send him back to the ship.

[Chaos Gate]

He was abit bland, and I didn't like his loyalty mission. But I didn't hate him.

[Black Raptor]

At least he isn't as lame as Thane or Jack

[MouseNo4]

I have to be honest and say that i quite like his character. After doing his loyalty mission and chatting with him, i have really grown to admire the person. I dont care that he isnt the same colour as me. I dont care if people say he is a cliched character. I enjoy learning about him, and having him on my squad. I rate him up among the top characters in ME2 - purely for the depth of his character. Not as high as Garrus, Liara or Tali, but along with Legion, Mordin and Thane.

I dont care much for everyone else. I dont hate them, i just dont 'like' them.

That might be your opinion but they're both more popular if fan threads & support groups are anything to go by.  

I found Jacob to be very very dull

I found Jacob only boring until with one of my FemShep's I did romance with him. I started to hate him then.

Yes, Here is a summation and interpretation of the come on lines from everyone.
Ashley: I like poetry, and that fine ass. (kind of cute, and I do like the fact that she's not brainless)
Kaiden: I love you, but it's hard to shake the military protocal.  (A little boring, but sincer and although he's way too boring for my character to keep around, it gives him some hidden depth).
Liara: I've never done this before, but I want this so badly.  (Cute, sincere, totally Moe, this is a major part of the reason I chose Liara as my main romance.)
Mirranda: I never settle for anything but the best, and you are the best.  (Nice, very fitting with the character, not my favorite, but still something I'd like to be called.)
Garrus: I don't really know how to woo humans, but I want to try with you. (turns the badass turian into an adorkable lug... I love it)
Tali: I want you to see me without my mask... I'm willing to risk dying just for one kiss. (This is the most organic romance in the series [though Liara's comes close], so Moe, so adorkable, so close to insanity that it must be love)
Thane: You have the same spirit, the same spark as my wife, I think I love you.  (True to form, if a bit creepy, and the way he breaks down made me feel for the guy).
Jack: I've been a closed off **** my entire life, but... look I'm sorry for pushing you away. (Though I like the tearfelt apology, there was something off about the romance... I think it was because Jack needed a friend, and I doubt could handle a romantic relationship.  Still it did tug at the heartstrings).
Jacob... I have to use the quote here, "Heavy risk, but the priiiiize," (CREEPY and a little myssagenistic... maybe the developers thought his abs made up for every "romantic" line out of his mouth was the height of creepy guy who wants to own women... He does in fact have great abs).

I was actually a fan of Jacob when I first played the game, however through each playthrough I've found myself liking him less and less, to the point that I now never talk to him past the first mission, never do his loyalty mission, subsequently letting him die in the suicide mission.

Which is a shame...I suppose....Who was I talking about again?

[Eradyn]

Jacob was alright. I'm more ambivalent toward him at this point. I hated how dealing with him to get to the awesome bro conclusion (Get loud, spill drinks) was like wading through a minefield. His "I don't have more dialogue" line is horrible, especially with how he acts towards you when you first meet him. Seriously BW? Did you want people to be turned off?

I don't think I have to say much about femShep's voice acting and animations while speaking with him, though. Yeah, that's pretty well beaten and I think most people get it. His own battle dialogue and romance lines...er...are cringe-worthy. I never brought him in a fight unless necessary (loyalty mission, in other words). And some of his judgments are very poor.

In spite of that, he was a decent individual. Once I maneuvered through the dialogue and got to the spilling drinks conclusion, I was very happy. I wish the bro-Jacob was the one we were able to get to know throughout the game, not the stand-offish, sometimes passive aggressive Jacob. He started very well in the beginning, sunk like a rock throughout the game, and it isn't until you gain his loyalty that, hey, he's back to being a bro.

I'm wondering if BW just didn't know what to do with him because sometimes it's like he's two or three different characters. I wish, whatever they were trying to do, they'd have figured it out and done it better. Well...maybe in ME3 they will. It's a hope.

I liked Jacob roughly until I first spoke to the illusive man. Things I don't like about him;

His voice, that's definitely the number 1 thing. And that's not because he's voiced by a black guy, there are tons of black movie characters with very different persona's that I like. Whenever Jacob says something it is as though he's trying to make it sound like something extreme.

His complaints. About Legion, about Thane, about Cerberus, about the Alliance, His Father, and even himself (When speaking about Miranda).

His loyalty quest. Yeah, I get that it's his father, but it seems things do take absurdly long before they start to sink in for him. And when you finally get to his father, Jacob's dialog is just weak.

Aside from those things, his back-story is fine and he doesn't look bad.

[TheCrakFox]

He's alright, his loyalty quest is one of the best.

[Niddy']

@above poster Yeah his loyalty quest was great, i got the chance to kill the father as well. That way he doesn't email me boring letters.


Jacob is like having an awkward conversation with someone you see while your out and about and run into them when you really don't want to talk to them.

I'm glad he's dead; it makes avoiding him easier.

I like Jacob. He's a bro to my manshep and the romance of my femshep. Jacob is the only LI that actually cares about you, asks how you're holding up, tells you he loves you. He doesn't burden you with his problems and expect you to babysit him. Plus he has a great sense of humour. Guy is totally misunderstood.

[Clonedzero]

i dont hate jacob. he's just not particularly interesting, there was a point where i literally forgot he existed till i recruited thane and he was all like "assassins are dangerous" and im like "WOAH i forgot about you dude!"

[Mr. C]

It's nice to have at least one normal Joe Blow to stand in the corner and say "these people are nuts!" with.

[Adhin]

I didn't find him 'boring'... I found him irritating. A lot of that has to do with the horrible B-movie 1 liners randomly popping up and how they kept using him to be angry at other squadmates when they'd join the ship. It's like they just had to use him as the ME2 punching bag. And again the horrible 1 liners..guh.

When I first saw him I was like oh Jacob, this is gonna be awesome. Then he spouted out I should let him know when to hit em with the good stuff and I wanted to punch him. But hey maybe that was a one time bad-line. So we get to a lul-in the action and he throws out 'But this is gettin' tense!' ...**** no its not, it WAS tense, now its not. It's actually kinda calm at this point.

Hell I just don't like how he talks and how they used him. He belongs in some 70's exploit film.

[Big Yam]

Jacob sucks. He's a fool, a quitter, and a walking contradiction. That makes him hard to take seriously.

He's also lousy in combat.

[wildannie]

@Adhin - really hated how Jacob or Miranda were the 'welcoming' party for new recruits. It gave them a role that my Shepards would never have appointed them, especially with the alien crew members.

No, that is their (and your) opinion.

I have no opinion, only facts.

I certainly didn't hate Jacob. I still thought he was better than Kaiden (with his soft, story book voice and mannerisms).

As far as I'm concerned, the entire ME2 cast could come back for ME3, plus the original cast, and I'd be content.

Although I personally don't like Jacob, I totally agree that it would be great if everyone from 1 & 2 returns = everyone's happy 

[Skilled Seeker]

Wildannie, Miranda is 2nd in command, Jacob is 3rd in command. That's why they greet new party members.

[Merchant2006]

Look at thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis warrents Jacob to be blasted out into space.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Jacob's the most stable character in the Game and it's a shame that he's hated for not being a whiner (Garrus) or worshipping the ground Shepard walks on (Various characters) Oh and him actually letting Shepard vent her problems instead of dumping them on her (also Various Characters)  Oh and he has a mind of his own and dumps Femshep should she try to go into "Fix him" mode that works with Garrus and Thane, but won't with Mr. Taylor.
