What didn't you enjoy? Back when I was playing Fallout 3 it was the best game ever for me, something that should've gotten GoTY every year lol. Then I saw people mentioning some game called Mass Effect and saying that it is great etc. Then I saw ME2 getting GoTY in 2010 (I was still playing Fallout 3 then). I decided to check it out, started from ME1. Well, now I'm here
Interesting... have you delved into older Bioware games since?

Nah, only Dragon Age Origins (which is newer)

Fallout 3 was the first game I bought when I got my ps3 in 2008. Good game.
Looking forward to hearing CourtenayTaylor's voice when I get Fallout 4

You might like Kotor. Since you said you liked the slower combat of DAO elsewhere, Kotor was even better at the whole tactical thing.
And that was Courtenay's first game... just to keep it on topic.
I'd like to recommend NV to you (which was Obsidian, not Bethesda), but I get the feeling you may not like it either. It's better though.
Hopefully you'll like FO4. I think they've probably learned a lot from Skyrim, so I imagine this will be just as accessible...if not moreso.
Hmm. I'll think about it. Right now the biggest challenge for me is finding the time for games.

I do not really enjoy open world settings. I quickly find myself doing nothing for long periods of time, and get bored. I need direction.
Also, lots of the creatures in the game really creeped me out.

I wonder if Jennifer Hale is in the game too. She posted a pic with them together in a booth.
It looks like we'll get Courtenay no matter what. I think the two protagonists might be a couple. Maybe I'll just play a male then.

Well, you can follow the quests. But yeah, Bethesda games make player freedom their trademark. You can do what you want, when you want.

She'll do voice acting for a ghoul:
"I'm commander Shepard and the Lazarus project didn't end well"
I love this picture of Shepard & Jack. It looks like a Paparazzi caught a great moment of them having fun at the beach:
I can totally see paparazzis following them everywhere
Ok, this might have been posted before, but I just stumbled upon it while googling Femshep's casual outfits, so I thought I'd post it.
Such a brilliant picture, I love it! 
I was about to post in a thread asking which squadmates work best with Vanguard, but off-topic there, more relevant here...
Jack + Sentinel!Shep = <333333333
The gameplay synergy is pretty obvious. Jack can Pull, Shepard can set off combos with Throw and Warp. Also, Jack can provide ammo power for the squad, something that you lack as a Sentinel unless you make that your bonus-power.
On a thematic level it was even more enjoyable. Jack is built like a destructive Vanguard, Shepard OTOH is this literal knight in shining armor. And, in my canon (** HEADCANON ENGAGED!! **), Shepard starts out as an Infiltrator, but Cerberus rebuilds him with eezo to grant biotic abilities (Cerberus is kinda obsessed with biotics). I played to this further with one dialogue-option where Shepard says "I noticed a few upgrades," imagining that was one of the things he referred to. Sentinel was the way to go because it preserves the tech powers, and the biotics (Throw and Warp only) seem pretty basic -- just some forceful application of the mind, nothing fancy. Combat powers? Pfft! Shepard is a good shot, that is all the reflection needed. Pistol/SMG only for the first half is weird, but getting the Kassa Locust really eases that transition. One can see it as a more efficient AR.
In the beginning I do not invest anything into the biotic powers, imagining that his powers are too unstable to use in combat reliably, and then over time I unlock those abilities. Then comes the next fun part of my headcanon: I imagine Jack continually giving him some pointers on how to use his powers (plays nicely to the way her character-arc progresses, I would say).
One of my imagined tidbits of advice Jack gives to Shepard, on casting Warp: "when you see an enemy, imagine two more standing behind him, and aim for the third."
In ME3 I thought of having Shepard's biotics progress even further -- perhaps even supplanting his use of tech -- and switching to Adept or Vanguard, but I found that Sentinel was still more enjoyable an experience for me and stuck with that. I took Energy Drain as a bonus power, and the damage-reduction bonus from that, Tech Armor, and Melee Synergy made CQC really fun. Shepard was pretty much as durable as a (multiplayer) krogan.
Guys, since you're kinda the experts here on Jack, how well would she work with the soldier class?
I still have 2 achievements for ME1 open (Lv60 is one of them, so I need to import) and on my next run I wanted to import my soldier I made when I played ME1 for the first time, only now on Insanity. And with him I wanted to romance Jack, which likely means she'd get a permanent place in the squad. Is that a stupid idea? 
So far I always took Miranda and Mordin every time, for every mission whenever possible. Now, Professor X said Sentinel is great, yet I kinda want to avoid switching classes in-between to experience the whole class run. So what if I just take Miranda again? Would maybe result in some great catfights 
What do you think? In theory I guess every squad combination should work out, right? I just wanna know if this could be a pain... especially the husks on Horizon etc.
You took Miranda and Mordin, right? I assume you used Mordin for his crazy-fast Cryo Blast? Well, Jack's Area Pull functions in the same way. But even better, it primes targets for biotic explosion with Miranda's Warp. It also instakills husks Other than that, her Warp Ammo is the best ammo power in the game, though it might be somewhat redundant for a Soldier.

I mostly used Incinerate with Mordin But that sounds good, instakilling huks, uuuh, I like that!
I had Warp Ammo as my bonus power last time, and it was indeed amazing. And I could switch to Disruptor Ammo when dealing with shields, so I'd be covered for both them and barriers.
I read about Concussive Shot. That would also work well with Pull, right?
It should though I never tried itI mostly used Incinerate with Mordin

I find the power to be near to useless in ME2. It is amazing in ME3 though

Eh. I'll see Gonna be some time before I get there anyway.
Thanks!
Yesterday - their last moments together 
Replaying the trilogy now, going to go with Jack again. Seems like all my male sheps I play now go with Jack, I completely love the Citadel content she gets, especially the tattoo scene, the dialogue in that fits perfect with a high EMS destroy ending. Jack will be going on every mission, with Garrus running second in the main story/recruitment mission, except for a non loyal Miranda for the final fight.
