Just wanted to lend my support for Jacob.
I'm making a Shepard for him right now. I like that you can make him say he loves you (Thane's letter was beautiful but I wasn't supposed to see it until after he died) and that he is so... level-headed. The thing a little bit annoying is the whole Normandy crew is that it's kinda like a who-can-have-the-most-messed up- traumatic-weird history contest, and I'm glad that Jacob doesn't take part in it.
His loyalty mission is about what his father did, not some tragic thing that happened to him. While I am getting sick of Daddy issues (Tali,Wrex, (Ashley if you count Granddaddy) Miranda,Jacob,Grunt, jesus christ!) but I felt that the theme of the difficulties of command could really apply to Shepard. Resurrected only to immediately sent on a Suicide Mission, with the loving attention of the Reapers and Collectors and all the universe their enemy, Shepard could crack. Probably SHOULD crack.
And like the rest of the crew, Jacob could also. But he's focused and determined and fun to be around, not to mention wary, watching his steps around Cerberus and TIM. He's almost the "good side" to Cerberus: he acknowledges what they've done, but also recognizes the support they can lend to the anti-Reaper effort, while (generally) being polite and professional to the myriad of aliens Shepard adds to the crew.
I uhh... abdomen aside, I wouldn't mind it if they gave him a bit of a redesign in ME3, though. Just his face. Nothing major, maybe lighten up his eyebrows a bit- looks like he taped blackboard erasers above his eyes. It's just that he had this uncanny-valley look through a lot of my other playthroughs, like Miranda.
Go Jacob!
