"But the priiiiiiiiiiiize" is the worst line of dialogue in the whole series.

But that's the most memorable line - or at least most quoted line - in series, rivaled maybe only by "Ah yes, Reapers". Strange, isn't it?

Haha mineralica, I think the same thing. Nobody is quoted like Jacob! People quote him from "good stuff", "better man than me", dissing thane, dissing Tali, dissing gaurs, "forced conversation". "look at this", "prize" etc. I can't think of anyone else who is quoted as much from either game. The worst line in gaming history? Not even close! My least favorite char's are Zaeed, thane, Garrus, Miri and Ash.

Poor Jacob. I thought he looked pretty good until he started talking.
His mouth animations were the worst! Really creeped me out. Whoever was responsible for that really dropped the ball.
He was not very sturdy in combat, so he wasn't in my squad often.
I had no character that wanted to romance him so he was pretty devoid of interesting dialog too.

id say Jacobs unattractive looks is definitely part of the reason, most people are to nice to say it openly though.

Not for me, then. I don't find him particularly attractive (nor do I any of the characters), but I don't find him hideous like I do Thane. Even if his mouth does animate weirdly.

Still, if it were mainly looks, I doubt Garrus would be so popular. Vega looks like an angry gorilla, but people are still all over that.

id say the most attractive male human character in mass effect is standard male shepard (or sheploo) and i think thats the general opinion from what ive heard. and the most attractive female (based on in game models) is probably liara (mirandas in game model doesnt do yvonne justice at all)

you cant really compare the aliens to the humans, since like i already said the people who romance the aliens do so pretty much exclusively for the novelty or if they find their personalities interesting, the physical attraction in regards to romance is pretty much limited to the human characters. (liara can be included as well because she her face is pretty much like a human)

and how does vega look like a gorilla? because of his muscles? in that case Jacob would also qualify.

Okay so being a Jacob thread  I expect this thread to die after a few responses  naturally but I'd like to know what role he may play (if any) in the upcomming came. Due to his extreme lack of popularity I knew it was all but certain he wouldn't be back but I hope there will be at least some closure for those of us who liked him as a character and for those who romanced him. I'd really like someone to explain why Kaiden is about a million times more popular when most agree that he was pretty bland and too normal(the reason most people give for not liking Jacob). Now we have this James Vega character who looks like Jacob 2.0 (minus being black) and people are already fawning over the guy and the game isn't even out yet. Granted some people are probably obsessing over JV because we all know he was likely added for the m/m sgro and that alone is enough for some people to go crazy for a particular character. I think Jacob was well rounded and decent character and I actually liked the fact that he was one of the few people in myh crew who didn't have major issues or psychological problems. Seeing as this is the last game I really hope we get more closure than something akin to the Kaiden/Ashley cameo appearences in ME: 2. I'll never understand this bizarre bias against Jacob.

Maybe it's because Jacob has a cougar activation field that causes FemShep to take on a 'bend me over the desk please' tone of voice when she speaks to him?

Jacob was Kaidan's replacement and he's replacing Jacob.

Vega is the tank teammate in ME3, in ME1 and ME2 the tank teammate was krogan, ergo he's replacing the krogans who I'd much rather have as they don't have the uncanny valley effect of Kaidan or the roid monster look of Vega

That' one of the main reasons given why people don't care for Jacob but that doesn't explain why no one really cared about him before ME2 came out. He didn't have a following at all like certain characters get before a game is even released e.g. James Vega. No real explenation for that one.

Yeah. But it's certainly not quoted for being good. It's baaaaad. hilariously so, but still bad.

Oh God... thank you for that ))) I  had never played a FemShep, so I had a hearty, hearty laugh at both the "bend me over the table now Jacob" voice of FemShep, and the "but the priiiize".. Man, this is just too hillarious.

Also, oldies but goldies, "Ah the Reapers":

I have in the past and still maintain that Jacob is the only ME character I would actually want to know IRL. (Okay, my best friend is suspiciously like Garrus, so maybe not). I just find him incredibly *bland* in a game, which is filled with interesting and complex personalities and quirky aliens. He's good as the straight man to the Normandy's endemic insanity, but while I like him I just don't find myself finding his character engaging. I'd like him to get some closure.

Jacob looks like Kenyon Glover.

And it definitely isn't his looks. He looks fine.

Holy crap, how'd they **** that up? I definitely thought Jacob was unattractive (his... cheeks looked weird? I dunno.); his model looks so much better. I never thought Miranda looked weird, but maybe people who say she did were right all along. TMYK~

[Masked Slasher]

Pretty much what's already been said: I loathe the way my FemSheps practically thew themselves at him as soon as we took off on the Normandy.

Such a stupid, poor choice.

It annoyed me so much I think I killed him on all but one of my playthroughs.

Exactly. I doubt anyone has an answer for that. Can't really use the "he's too normal/bland" or "i don't like how femshep talks to him" excuse to explain why there wasn't much excitement about him prior to release when people are already going crazy over James Vega who's just some new alliance soldier guy. Any takers?

[Razgaros]

Jacob is fine.I mean I am pretty sure I could be friends with him in real life, the only thing is that he is just too ordinary compared to the rest of the crew, especially compared to Thane and Garrus. The guy has an impressive record, yeah, but garrus is space batman and Thane is the best assassin in the galaxy, and it's kinda hard to compare to that when you are "just" a very good soldier.He is basicly the "no-risk" romance, and Kaidan is already doing that very well so...

I don't beleive he had a reveal trailer.  or voice actor spotlight with voice actor being relatively well know screen actor.  or multiple released screenshots.  or strong possibility of being s/s LI.

can't get people excited about something they might not even be aware of.
