Posted this elsewhere, and posting it here, for conversation's sake:
Recently, I've heard many people mention how ME3 doesn't include the emotional aspect of Jack and Shepard's relationship. I agree with this.
In ME2, you are always at a distance from Jack, because she keeps you away. Gradually, though, you see her emotions peek through her exterior. Then, in the final romance scene, she undergoes that catharsis. After, there's the intimacy, and the smiling.
In ME3, the game does not address the emotional aspect of their relationship, and it shows, considering the ME2 arc. Jack and Shepard are physical with each other. In various lines, Jack is very forward with Shepard, expressing her desire for him. These are good, because they show that she is comfortable with him. What's missing, though, is something as deep as the scene with Jack in Shepard's cabin, in ME2.
You could argue that Jack would die before she'd let someone see her feelings for Shepard in public. That just increases the demand for a private scene, and makes me want one just that much more. That the final romance scene concludes no differently than if Shepard had just been her friend is disappointing.
if I could ask for a single scene for Jack from Bioware, it'd be something between Jack and Shepard only. It'd be them talking about the place they have in each other's life, maybe a little about their future, and a bit about what Shepard means to her. Here and there, her concern that Shepard could die on Earth should show through in the tone of her voice and in her body language. Then, some more intimacy.
