I think to a certain extent all your squadmates were whitewashed a bit in the transition from ME2 to ME3, to accommodate the different feel of the respective games.
Jack's character seems to lack psychological consistency. In her loyalty mission on Pragia she describes being explicitly conditioned with narcotics to kill, describing a warm feeling. In other conversations, Jack's violent tendencies are far more indicative of her being abused. She chooses the hold because it's safe, she approaches sex casually to avoid intimacy, and she claims that what fascinates her about killing is simply that her odds of survival go up.
What I smell in Jack's writing is two separate conceptions; we have the Jack described on the Purgatory, who even the worst of the worst is afraid of, whose opioid receptors light up in response to bloodshed.
Then we have the vulnerable Jack, who was tortured as a child and is consequentially impulsive, distrustful, paranoid, and very averse to authority.
Grunt is a far better example of a personality conditioned to kill; and appropriately, he ends up finding purpose the krogan's heavily tribal society. If killing is rewarding, you submit to the authority that lets you do it consistently.
If you whitewash some of the statements from the Purgatory and the part about conditioning from Pragia you get the kind of Jack who could be rehabilitated and find purpose in ME3.
I think the whole love of killing and everything is more just a front Jack puts up to not seem vulnerable.
The same way Liara seemed all cold-hearted the first time you met her on Illium.
Retour en haut
explicitly describes being pumped full of narcotics and says in a very sensual way, "I still get warm feelings every time I kill."
Yeah, I'd forgotten about that conversation. That's a bit creepy in hindsight.
