Jacob didn't make a lot of sound tactical decisions in game.

Like volunteering for the vents. The funny part is, given his survival rate, apparently most players' reaction to that is basically: "Sit down, Jacob. I'm sending someone else."

Makes me wonder if that's some sort of survival strategy on his part.

"Shoot me in the face!"

Not this again...

Poor Jacob.


Ok my last one for today :

[Skullheart]

For some reason Jacob always dies in the fight against that heavy mech when I'm playing.

[hot_heart]

He always moves in aggressively. Heavy risk...

Statistically, at least one of you has made a Chuck Shepard. Who confesses?

(Yes, I apparently just caught the end of an episode on the TV. It had cuddles.)

[Skullheart]

Nope, chuck is too pathetic to stand at Miranda's side.

Haha. I don't doubt that.

Not me though.

The Phalanx is like a Carnifex for people who like to pull the trigger a few more times.

Miranda is a Cowgirl. For another reason too.

After I get another squadmate Jacob goes into storage in the armory. I somehow forget that he exists and by the time the SM rolls around this sort of happens.

About Miranda .. 

I really miss my favorite character in action, alongside Shepard :

I miss the days when the Kassa Locust was the most powerful SMG in the game, or an actual useful gun for that matter.

Ah the Locust. Used it because Kasumi gave it to me (well one of them anyway). And I still have one on my Fury. Call it tradition.

One thing I've always found odd is now ME characters hold SMGs like pistols. The more large and elaborate they get the weirder it looks.

Miranda- "Everyone got to play a solid role in the fight against the Collectors... "


Just imagining if every squaddie got to play a special part in the Suicide Mission except him.

Pretty much the same. And everyone except Miranda gets a lot of downtime after I pick up Kasumi.

It was the same with Kaidan in ME1. And I actually did forget about him until Vrmire. Which made the "choice" laughably easy. More lulz were had after when Shepard acts all broken up about it.

[Taboo]

I guess I'm not the only one. Jacob only goes with me for three missions. Freedom's Progress, Mordin's mission and his loyalty mission.

It's absolutely hilarious bringing him along for the last one, as it shows me just how useless he is to me. He has so many things to upgrade and none of it matters. At all.

[krukow]

why do you take him on Mordin's mission? I usually take Miranda...

Teaser


Moss stopped outside the door to Dr. Jacobs’ office and let me enter. Jacobs was a picture perfect doctor, with an impressive mane of gray hair and a spotless lab coat. That would explain how he had risen to the rank of major despite being a complete quack.

But it was the woman in the room with him that made me catch my breath. Miranda. Her hair was blonde now, almost gold, and pulled back in a way that practically begged a man to pull the pins from her hair. She carried herself differently, her posture loose with easy confidence. Whoever she was pretending to be had nothing to prove to anyone. But I would know that intelligent, measuring gaze anywhere. Heat sprang over me as memory flooded my senses.

Miranda was irritated, but not angry. She didn't tap her foot like that when she was angry. "Do you actually plan to accomplish something by awakening the geth, or were you also born with the desire to poke hornet’s nests and press the big red buttons?"

"So says the only woman who can put resurrections on her resume. A talking geth, Lawson! This could be the greatest scientific discovery since we found the Archives, and I want in on it. Don't tell me you don't."

Lightning fired through her eyes as curiosity warred with caution. It was lightning, not her body, that made her so damn close to irresistible: that desire to see, do, and experience the impossible. And it didn't get much more impossible than a talking geth. "I suppose someone should be on hand in case you botch the interrogation." She smiled, and I suddenly wanted to punch Jacob for ever being a big enough idiot to let her slip away. "I'll meet you in the AI core in five minutes."

But also…

Wilson had called Miranda an ice queen when we first met, but her mouth was hot and soft under mine. My shoulders scraped the metal of the bulkhead. We’d barely escaped being blown up on Heretic Station we doing the most alive thing we could think of to celebrate. Blood flowed southward, and my pants were suddenly way too tight. I reached for the zipper at the front of her jumpsuit.

But she put her hands on my shoulders and pushed me away, gently but firmly. "No."

"No?" I repeated incredulously, trying not to think about how good she looked with her hair mussed.

She started pacing the length of the captain's quarters. "We know how dangerous this is, how likely it is that the Collectors will kill one or both of us. Now’s not the time to let our hormones compromise the mission."

Her words somehow managed to penetrate the fog of lust, and my brain started working again. Cerberus didn't have fraternization regs, but the reason those regs existed was so that commanders could do what was necessary and not have to worry about sending the woman they were sleeping with to certain death. That went double when the enemy was a Reaper pawn. "No, it isn't." The words tasted like sawdust. "I hate the Reapers.”

"Getting killed doesn't motivate you, but the desire to sleep with me does? I'll have to remember that."

And suddenly it was all too much. I closed the distance between us and seized her hands in mine. Her hands were mostly gloved, but the knuckles were tantalizingly exposed. I brushed my lips against them like the knights in the stories I used to read. "After the war is over…”

But then Jacob had gotten killed and Miranda had gotten reassigned, and there had been no after. I hadn't even known whether she was alive or dead. Until today.

"And here he is now," Jacobs said. "Mr. Shepard is suffering from severe posttraumatic stress disorder. Hardly worth your time, Dr. Solheim."

"On the contrary." She’d adopted a slight Norwegian accent, just enough to be exotic. "Mr. Shepard's implants alone makes this a fascinating case study.”

I heard the message as clearly as if she had spoken aloud: the cause of my headaches had something to do with my implants and Lazarus Project director was here to fix it.

I get Mordin first.

I have Jacob and Miranda.

Maybe I'll bring Zaeed the next time...

Jacob can just sit there.

Yeah, thought of that after I posted.  Thought you meant Mordin's loyalty mission...

Um, no. If I was to do it, it would be in honor of Chuck Norris (and that would make Shep look too old).

[Taboo]

I like what I've read jtav, I just need more context.

But that's what a teaser is I guess...

[Taboo]

Jacob is nice, I guess, I've just never found a use for him. There are far more capable people on the squad than he.

He's just there.

[Skullheart]

I only used Jacob for he incendiary ammo for my no-soldiers shepard, but after I got Grunt, well u know what.

[Taboo]

I got hilarious results in ME2 when using Reave with a Vanguard. But yes, using Grunt to give the squad ammo is useful and he lasts a lot longer than...Jacob.

I'm not sure what to do use as a bonus power for a Sentinel though. Warp Ammo?

[Skullheart]

slam, of course.
