Hmm.... been mulling over this a little. The reason why I cannot import my FemShep Robin into ME3 is not because Jacob doesn't want to continue with her. It is because she ceases to be FemShep in this mission if romanced. I have had a really good time with my game, I love my FemShep and really look forward to a new PT. But this one mission is really out of sync with everything else.

Jacob dumps you:
Paragon: would save the whole bunch, hopefully say something classy. If FemShep got back with Liara or Kaidan perhaps a "ohh great, you too. Yeah... it wasn't meant to be".
Renegade: I don't see my friends pretty ruthless renegade FemShep going "You're a cheating bastard... but it is ok. Grab your "friend" and we'll get you out of here. We have cookies on the ship". Hmm... not at all, there might be a crater where the building once was, but that's about it.

Convo at the hospital:
He should not talk to you in a friendly manner if you didn't part as friends. It would be nice if he perhaps was ashamed of himself, but now got to tell FemShep how it ended up like this. Here again you get to perhaps, tell him off, be understanding perhaps or a nice Shepard-punch. We can punch reporters but not a guy that cheats on FemShep? That's one missed opportunity right there. Not the naming-the-kid-after-FemShep-thing.

Last thing before the end: Clear the air for real or really stick it to him, hoping that he will wallow in guilt for the rest of his life perhaps?

I don't know, I am no writer and never will be. But I can't play through this because FemShep doesn't react to it. Don't know if FemShep's friends react to it either. Does Liara say something comforting? Joker would perhaps be angry and say that Jacob never was good enough for her. Garrus and Tali would have her back. Does anything like this happen in the game?

FemShep + Kaidan is gold. Have only heard good things about the romances with Garrus and Liara. But Thane and Jacob are really not good. It's pretty much 10/10 or 0/10 for FemShep.

I was never really a Jacob fan, but I feel for you guys, if they ever did this to Kaidan I would be peeved. My mum also plays ME, but hasn't played the new one yet because she is away; she is going to be so annoyed when she gets back, heh. >.<'

Kaidan and MShep was surprisingly good as well.

But honestly, this game is so depressing that the only import I am putting through is my FAIL!Shep, because you know, we're all going to hell anyway.

I can't bear to import my FemShep who romances Jacob because the canon just sucks.

Yeah, I couldn't do my ThaneShep. I just don't have the heart. I also had to restart my GarrusShep because...I chose wrong and got ninjamanced by Kaidan. :(

Kaidan's romance was done nicely. Too bad the rest of us ME2 lovers got shafted.

My femshep just decided to get back with Kaidan. I think she is going to name her firstborn Jacob out of spite. :wizard:

I'm on the fence with my Jacobmance femshep. Going back to Kaidan is a possibility, but I'm leaning towards Kaidan and Jacob putting her off men forever, and having a romp with Traynor.

Hard to believe straightshooter Jacob would just go off and have a fling with some other chick after a paltry 6 months. Femshep and him went to hell and back (literally), and he's just like "whatevs!"

In my headcanon, that "knocking up" thing NEVER happens for Gwen (my JacobShep).

But seriously though, ME2 characters were practically "forgotten".

And the Traynor romance got screwed by being turned into soft porn ><" I support LGBT luvin' and heck, I kinda befriended a porn couple, if ALL the romance scenes were soft porn, THAT'S FINE but by having ONLY that romance having such a risque scene, it has become a novelty fanservice ><"

Ah, imagine if Jacob and FemShep had that sort of love scene before they head off on the final mission... Hothothothot...

Have to admit it, I am a very very silly person but I just can't get how Jacob goes from his last convo to being surprised at seeing FemShep again and just dumping her in such a uncharacteristic way. For a Shepard who is a friend to Jacob, it is great. Perhaps if this was the outcome for a FemShep who cheated on either Liara or Kaidan but not if you took the time to romance him with a single FemShep.

I don't get it at all, and it irritates me to no end. I play the game and am very happy with my FemShep who romances Kaidan, but then all of a sudden I go back to being irritated and sad. I don't know why Jacob didn't wait for FemShep, and they will probably never resolve it. How did he go from the convo above to the current situation. Glad I only made 2 FemShep's for him. But that's the way I am, if the keys are lost I turn the house upside down until I find them, I don't give up on things or questions. It has proven to be good thing in some projects I've worked on... but in this instance it's just lousy because I cannot work at getting an answer to this. It is making me too irritated and I don't want to ruin my gaming in ME3 so I just have to take a break until I'm not irritated or sad anymore. What happend to ME2-Jacob, I don't recognize him at all? Why did he give up on FemShep? Until those question stops irking me, I just need to game with something else. Perhaps getting my Bounty Hunter in SWTOR up to 50 or something like that. Then I'll be back. Torian is a sweetheart btw.

I have had more fun in ME3 than any other game I've played so I will be back. But the thing with Jacob...

There's a ME3 Suggested Changes Feedback Thread which allows spoilers and constructive criticism.

I planning to write about Jacob but I think some of you may do better than me as you've played the game thoroughly.

So Jacobites/Jacobeans/Team Jacob, go ahead and let them know how you feel. I think some of the posts here can be re-used, it's up to you really.

In more negative news, some troll thought he was being smart by posting the ME3 spoiler on one of my Jacob motivationals.

I romanced Jacob in ME and was upset by the damn 180 on everything that was good about him as an LI. I got over it, but I want to echo the sentiment that it's not even so much that he did what he did but how it was handled, especially with dialogue options that just do not give justice to what your Shep may be feeling.

Here's what I said in the ME3 suggestions thread. Beware, it's a bit TL;DR.



Thank you in advance for offering this thread for the fans that love your work, and I hope that my contribution helps you in making future content and brigning along any changes you decide to implement.

Now the endings don't bother me as much as they have other people. I have enough imagination to overcome any shortcomings they have. And I'm sure any complaints I make, others have already said, and I'm confident that you guys will resolve the issues through whatever means you think is best.

But the one thing that bothers me above all else is the treatment of Jacob's romance in ME3. To me, it was a very meaningful, enjoyable romance in ME2, and it deserved better than what it got in the sequel. Between Jacob's lack of drama as a character(a positive thing, from several Shepards POVs), the fact that he offers Shepard a chance to vent her frustrations, and the fact that he tells Shepard that he lovs her(something none of the other LIs do) were all things that made his romance unique and satisfying. And to end it by having him leave Shepard, cheat on her with Dr. Cole, tell her that "The Normandy is her first love", that he doesn't think she'll ever want to settle down, etc. is, IMO, an insult to Jacob as a character, and the people who romanced him. Given the way the romance is treated, it feels better to just kill him in ME2, and that's a huge waste of a character and a romance.

And as much as I don't want to play this card, I feel like Jacob's popularity(or lack thereof) is a serious factor in this. We Jacob fans know he's not a popular character, much less a LI. But that's no reason to treat the people that DO like him in this fashion. To us, it felt like a slap in the face, and only because we grew to like a character and a romance that you gave us. And we were the only ones who'd end up seeing this(the cheating and lack of continuation). The people who didn't like Jacob have remained relatively unaffected, other than saying "I never liked Jacob, but you guys got treated like ****." or "You know, my favorite LIs wasn't treated as well as I'd like, but at least he/she wasn't treated like Jacob." So the only people that come out of this situation hurt are thoese that alreadly liked somethign you did. This sets a serious precedent for all of us Jacob fans. Why should we like future characters you make if we end up being shown this kind of treatment?

Here are the things that don't make sense to me, or just plain pissed me off, as far as how Jacob was treated as a romanced character(I have no problems whatsoever with his character direction if he wasn't romanced. He's spot on as a 'bro' for most of my Sheps):

1. There have been many hints that he offers Shepard stability. This is a term used when Liara mentions his romance in the LotSB DLC. "He's stable. You may need that mrre than you think in the times ahead." This is perfect for Shepard, and exactly fitting for Jacob as a character. If he is truly the stable man we saw in ME2, he wouldn't just ditch Shepard like he does. He would wait for her. He might be a bit impatient, certainly, but he would wait for her, because he'd know she was worth it. And the idea that Jacob would be there for her, through everything else that heppens, would be a great comfort. He doesn't have to be a part of her squad to be there for her. A few emails now and then, maybe him asking if she wants a family, like he does. Jacob cheating on Shepard throws this whole wonderful character direction on its face. He offers no stability for Shepard, just bitterness and resentment.

2. Dr. Cole is spoiled as a character to me after how she talks to a romanced Shepard. She says that Jacob still loves Shepard, and that she knew they were together when she went after him, but that 'he's better off with me'. This makes her come off as man-stealing ****. Even when I play my Shepards that don't get this dialogue, I don't like her, and that is a shame, since I'd love to enjoy the "Ex-Cerberus Scientists" mission, as I thought it had a lot to offer. But Dr. Cole's dialogue towards Jacobmancing Shepard is just plain mean.

3. One of the key things with romance in the Mass Effect series in general is that it is something under the player's control. I don't like to sound like a control freak, and I know that the real world romance is hardly something under anyone's control, but it is the mechanic that we as players have come to expect with our romances. And Jacob cheating on Shepard and leaving her for Dr. Cole is not something that is under Shepard's control at all, and that does ****** me off. The only other LI who is treated similarily to this is Thane, who's death lies outside of player control, but it doesn't feel nearly as bad as this. Also, none of ManShep's LIs get treated this way, and FemShep loses out on two? One of Bioware's messages in their marketing is that they want to cater to their female fans, and this seems to fly in the face of that. Just something to consider here.

Now, for the way to make this right, dialogue included(this is just the best theory I've got. you could simply chnage a few dialogues for him during his mission, but that might cause some timelyine problems with his relationship with Dr. Cole):

Have Shepard meet up or have a holocall with Jacob on the Citadel prior to the end of the Genophage Arc, like she does with Miranda. This would allow Shepard to end/continue the romance, keeping it within player control. Jacob could mention Dr. Cole(including her making advances), and the work he's doing saving Ex-Cerberus personnel. And they could make-up or break-up amicably here if the players wants that. Like so:

Shep: You seem to be happy there, Jacob. You like Dr. Cole?
Jacob: Yeah, we've got a lot in common, Shepard. Still, she isn't you. Couldn't reach you when you were with the Alliance, but I'm thinkin' about you. Are we still good, Shepard?
Break-up:
Shepard:Jacob....I don't think this will work. With everything that's going on, the chances of us both living through this war....
Jacob: *pained, dejected look* Yeah...I get you. Doing what we do, it's hard to hope for anything real. For what it's worth, Shepard, I love y- loved you. Even if you don't feel the same, I want you to know that. We still friends?
Shepard: Yeah, still friends, Jacob. Take up that doctor's offer for drinks. She sounds nice.
Jacob: Yeah, I might do that. See you around, Shepard.
Make-up:
Shepard: Oh, we're still good Jacob. I've missed you. Saving the galaxy won't be the same without you watching my back.
Jacob: *smirk* Yeah, but we both have things to do, Shepard. These people are counting on me to protect them. They need me.
Shepard: Wanna trade?
Jacob: *chuckle* Thanks Shepard, but I'll pass. I don't envy you, saving the galaxy by playing politics. But I'll keep in touch, if I can.
Shepard: *sultry smile* Calling your girlfriend from a secret location, Jacob? Kind of like sneaking into the captain's quarters....
Jacob: *playful smile* Yeah, it's a heavy risk....
Shepard: But the priiize......
Jacob: I'll see you soon, Shepard. Goodbye. I love you.

That's how I think Jacob's romance could be continued before you meet him on the mission. and if you don't take this chance to talk with him, he does end up cheating on you. That would keep the situation in the player's control, but still have the opprotunity to have Jacob decide to leave Shepard. I think it would be another case of Jacob being a unique LI in that he will do that if you don't talk to him.

Going through with this meeting would change quite some dialogue in the 'Ex-Cerberus' mission, since Shepard would already know what Jacob is doing there, and who Dr. Cole is. And when she talks wih Jacob, he'll still be loyal to her, and Dr. Cole could even say something congradualatory to Shepard, like 'I asked him out, but he wouldn't take my offer. I thought he'd be better off here, with me. But that man loves you. Take care fo him, will you? We owe our lives to him.'

And when Shepard and Jacob meet back up on the Citadel afterward, they could talk about the future, and what they want. Jacob can mention starting a family, and they can have a chance for a fade-to-black.

I know this is a lot of content to ask for, post-release. but this is how I could see you guys doing justice to Jacob's romance. It's not any more than what was given to the Miranda/Jack romances, and it would undo the one major flaw i've seen in the entire game. Even if you don't do any of this, at least try to recover Jacob's romance for his fanst. We're feeling pretty bitter about this, and it would be nice not to hold those kind of feelings towards a develper whose games we all enjoy.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yeah, I went in and made my voice heard as well Trivia. Okay everyone, we are a smaller group then most, but if stick with each other, we might just pull something off, we owe ME2 Jacob that much. So everyone, go to the link above and follow Trivia's example and tell Bioware your displeased.

That is a good post.

If anymore of you have something to share (or already shared) on the changes thread, it would be nice to know :)

I wouldn't mind if they could make Shepard a bit angrier/vindictive at the Jacob-Cole situation. Maybe even the option to just head back to the Normandy and tell the "Cerberus cell" to ****** off, even if it leads to a hit in your war assets.

Ohh wow guys... if you are ready to fight for Jacob then I'll join you. I had pretty much given up.

And Caston, that post was great! I think it was a really good idea that a FemShep who works at keeping Jacob in her life can continue with him. Good work   =)

Well, I'm guessing that since it was Jacob and Thane who got the ax in ME3, FemShep would be feeling lonely. Trying to get a laugh from it. Here's a little gallows humor for you   =)  



At a bar somewhere on the Citadel a man, BroShep, is enjoying drinks with his lover Ashely. A few tables away from them FemShep is sitting all alone with a beer. At the bar a few people are talking and that is where we join in.

Jacob: Hi guys, sorry I'm late, what did I miss?
Cortez: Not much, they cancelled the game.
Joker: Well, the galaxy going straight to hell might put people of gaming. By the way, what's up with FemShep, she just looks... kind of pitiful

FemShep raises the her hand towards the glass, goes still for a moment and it falls back in her lap.

Vega: She said something about a turian dying on your last mission. Her last chance at love, and then she started crying, it was pretty embarrassing to tell the truth.
Jacob: Ahh Garrus, yeah, that has got to hurt

Everyone sits quiet for a minute, sipping their beer. A beautiful brunette walks into the room closely followed by a female quarian. They are arguing and snippets can be hard as they pass the bar

Tali: Keep you Cerberus hands to yourself Miranda, he is mine!

The men at the bar watch as the two women descend on the once peaceful table with BroShep and Ashley. In the background FemShep cries quietly

Jacob: Miranda, yeah, she deserves a better man than me. Hope he's up for all that
Joker: It kind of makes you sad to see her this way, but right now she's pretty much our best hope. That guy has too many women to have time saving us. Ok, one of us will just have to do it, romance FemShep. Just to get that would-be-hero out of that mess.

FemShep all of a sudden gives a big sob, snot running down her nose. She starts looking around the table for a napkin

Joker: Jacob, come one, you did her in the last game. What about now?
Jacob: Nahh... I waited for her, 3 weeks you know. But then Brynn told me that I was better of with her. Vega, how about you? You're single, right.
Vega: Sorry man, she ain't looking so lola right now

FemShep finally found a napkin and blows her nose, loudly. It is difficult to hear over the noise of Ashley, Miranda and Tali screaming at each other over at BroShep's table. It has drawn the attention from the entire bar at this point. No one sees a lonely drell walk in through the door. The Drell looks at FemShep crying at her table. He makes a start towards her and then grabs his chest and falls down dead behind a big plant without anyone noticing. (Because really, no one notices Thane dying in the game either: author's note)

Jacob: What about you Joker, you know her, I bet she would go easy on you
Joker: Sorry, I'm more into metal
Vega: music?
Joker: A.I. Cortez, how about you?
Cortez: Not my thing, I'm heading over to BroShep. Looks like he could use some help. With luck he might even be tired of women at this point.

Cortez get's up from the bar and his seat is taken by Kaidan. Over at BroShep's table Ashley, Miranda and Tali are now screaming, at BroShep. It is entertainment enough for the rest of the bar, except for Femshep, still sobbing away

Kaidan: Sorry that I am late, is the game on yet?
Vega: No game, but plenty of action over there   (pointing towards BroShep's table)
Joker: Jupp, one has too many women-problems and the other can't stop crying, we are never getting saved. Speaking of saving, Kaidan, you're single, right?
Kaidan: Well, I was daiting this doctor but it never...
Joker: Great! Then you can date FemShep! Look at her, she needs someone... with a pulse
Kaidan: What about Jacob?
Jacob: Got a new girl, sorry
Kaidan: Thane?
Joker: The rumor is that he is dead, but who knows. It's not like we would notice him dying
Kaidan: Vega, would you...
Vega: Nope, strict policy to tease only
Joker: Kaidan, with Garrus gone, you're the only man left. Come on, do it for the galaxy
Kaidan: But I...

Kaidan looks longingly towards BroShep's table and sighs. Then he get's out of his chair and grabs a few napkins

Jacob: Taking one for the team, thanks man
Kaidan: Well, if I won't, who will?

Kaidan walks over to FemShep's table, hands over the napkins and sits down

Joker: So... no game, what about cards?
Vega: Maybe we can play at some other place. That woman looks pissed, I'm guessing it's trouble

Vega points at a heavily tattooed woman hurling herself at the ball of screams that is BroShep, Ashely, Miranda and Tali

Jacob: Jack, yeah. It's getting messy. Let's go to my place, Brynn is making dinner


The End

SilentK, where's Kelly/Liara/Sam in all that? They need to mention that they would romance FemShep if she'd let them, but...you know, not all girls are bi, despite what Veania would lead them to believe.....

Ignoring the cheating portion, Jacob's story in ME3 was pretty damn good. Especially when you consider he saved Shepard's ass at the end of the mission.

@ Caston     =)    jupp, some of us just prefer to romance human guys, which is great RL but has proven to be a bit of problem in ME3, lol  But I have heard that Veania is great!

@ PrinceLionheart  I couldn't agree more.

For a friend of Jacob it is great! You help your buddy get away from Cerberus, he has found someone to be with. Together those two get to work for the Alliance, Brynn with the Crucible and Jacob get's stuff done for Hackett. On my FemShep that romanced Kaidan I was really touched when Jacob mentioned how great it was to see Brynn together with the other scientists. And at that point he felt like the old Jacob, one who is sure of himself. He doesn't have a problem with his girl being really really clever, like he said, "I'm smart but not like them" or something to that effect. He is proud of her. It was great! Playing with a Shepard who has Jacob as a friend, that was one really great moment  =)

There as been so many little moments that I have loved when playing ME3   =)    laugh, cry or have goosebumps every evening pretty much. Now if I could only get my FemShep's hands on Jacob again...    =)

And... because I can, and everyone need a good laugh everynow and then

I still don't think so. it sounds like he went to Brynne's Cerberus cell, THEN it defected which doesn't make sense seeing as he'd just quit along with Shepard, he also sat on his ass for 3 months doing nothing which is also unlike him. He also doesn't contact Shepard or go back to the alliance until after he helps Brynne. I hate everything about Jacob in ME3. one of my favorite characters was assasinated by the writing team.Image IPB
