I hate to bring this up but did anyone else think Jacob's romance was a little sterotypical? I mean he cheats on you with a nother chick and gets her knocked up. And he's all like "Sorry trick it happens."

It felt like a episode of Maury Povich.

LOL! They are.
They need to take a class on sterotypes. As a black person I was rather pissed at the whole Jacob thing. I did not romance him but it was a cheap shot.

Also Vaga dose not need to say "loco" all the time!

Wait, what? This is absurd. Jacob was never in love with Shepard, they were a hookup. He fell in love with Brynn, and they're having a kid together. He's WITH the woman he got pregnant. How is that stereotypical of anything?

so much spanglish

but the treatment of jacob's character  was definitely the most offensive thing they've ever done and it's sad that they either didn't realize what they were doing or that they did and thought it was suiting

i about broke my keyboard when it happened

[MissMaster_2]

It's almost like they said.

"Asians fight with swords all the time!"

"Black men cheat...dur."

Hm.

Has anyone considered the fact that it was coincidental that the black man cheated on his girl? I admit it's an unfortunate implication but I don't think it was done purposefully. It was done because Jacob was the most disliked and boring character in ME2 and they had no way of continuing the relationship in an adequate job. So they trashed it.

No he says he loves her in ME2. It was not a hook up. It was clearly BW playing in to the black guy sterotype that they cheat and get women knocked up.

Baby mama drama.

gurl no

sit down

he was written to say "i love you" in the romance

and no he didn't "do" any of those things, bioware mistreated his character arc because they didn't feel inclined to spend resources on another less popular female romance 

don't try to act like this was thought out anymore than that

[MissMaster_2]

It just looks bad on them the only LI that cheats on you is black, shame, shame, shame.

This is probably accurate.

Grow up?

He clearly said he loved her. It was cheating the only black love intrest plays right in to a sterotype. Don't tell me to grow up, it was wrong and racist.

You do NOT speak to me that way, child. Anyone who thought the Jacob romance had depth in ME2 was really projecting. It wasn't exactly Titanic.

Jacobs romance before the suicide mission.

"We're our last hours, heading straight into the enemy. I wanted...I want you. Before we win, lose, whatever. Doesn't matter. I love you."

I'm pretty sure this is it. The implications are unfortunate, but I can't see it actually being deliberate. I think, like a lot of other things in this game, they didn't really think it through. Doesn't make it suck any less though.

Oh God....the race card. 

Listen: it's pretty sad when a man can't be written as a jerk without it being racist because he happens to be a black man. Thats basically what your saying - you can't write a cheating man if he's black because it's racist. <_<

[TheSixthghoul]

No... yeah! I can't believe people didn't notice that in me2.Couldn't you tell when femshep was whoring herself?

Followed by 6 months of nothing, during which he met another girl. It happens.

Also this.
a) He admits you're his fallback after Miranda dumped him.
He's the only LI that can break up with you without another lover being involved.

He is not as into you as you think.

In his defense, TItanic had a pretty shallow love story too. Nobody falls in love that badly in three days....

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that he was the only LI that cheats on you and not only dose he do that he gets a chick knocked up...it just looks bad.

And he was not the only one that was writen sterotypical.

it just looks bad.
