Yeah, kinda hard to confront femshep while she's locked-up on Earth, where the Reapers have attacked in force. How many other squadmates talked to her? Not one. Not even Shadow Broker Liara who the writers otherwise LOOOVE to force onto you.
Let me reiterate: femshep is locked-up and Jacob has no way of contacting her. I mean, you think the Alliance will want her talking to her old friends from Cerberus? Then it's hit by the Reapers, who are killing millions by the day, and targetting big cities. Shep is in Vancouver, big city and Alliance hub. Jacob has no reason to think he'll ever see her again. That's what he says when you see him on Gellix, something like "never thought I'd see you again" iirc, LI or not.
Again, not exactly reasonable of BW given straight-femshep's lack of options, but it does make sense.
This happens irl too. Those prisoners thrown in Guantanamo Bay without a trial have wives too. Said wives bang their heads against the wall trying to get to them. Some move on. Others just wallow in depression. For a man who's redeeming quality is "stability" and not being weak-minded, I would expect he'd do the former, not the latter.
you are missing 2 crucial points.
1. he went right along with having sex with Bryn.
2. he knocked her up, that guy who takes it slow and carefuly, that smart steady guy who knows there's war going on and its no time to have children.
the way bioware set it up, he didn't even try to write to femshep. you get absolutely nothing. moreover - he's STILLwaffling about it "I love you, I mean loved you" and the only way to even get to call him bastard for just.. is to try to hit on him even knowing that he just very unceremoniously dumped you without even telling you first.
you know, there's a third option in there, with those prisoners.
keep loyal and keep trying. people wait for decades for their loved ones to come back. if you are so damn hard up about the celibacy thing, you know there are ways to take the edge off WITHOUT banging someone else.
what they did here is retcon the crap out of Jacob. they decided, well he's not popular enough, so screw it, we're just going to use the same development for every Shepard. he's not popular enough romance to bother.
and so in unromanced playthrough, he's still that steady guy, who simply fell in love and is trying to do the right thing by his lover and the people she works with (pregnancy crap is still dumb though). and Bryn is a nice, remorceful scientists trying to atone. while in romanced playthrough, she's a predator who knows the guy she wants is in a relationship but goes after him anyways, and he's a weak willed lying cowardly sleezebag.
thank you so much for that one Bioware.
