I think everyone's claims of Jacob being "boring" is only as such when juxtaposed with the myraid other characters who are not only aliens, but have some serious issues going on; the dying drell assassin, the asari Justicar, the genetically enhanced krogan, etc. Hell even the humans have drama; Miranda's self-esteem and daddy issues, Jack's horrible childhood and psychotic behavior, Zaeed and his beef with Vido. Put against all that a man who deals with his issues and keeps a cool head through it all and yes, he could appear "boring". If anything, Taylor is the most sane person on the Normandy back in ME2. ME3 , however, is a different story. Then again most ME2 squadmates in 3 were shafted in one way or another so perhaps the point is moot after all.

Anyway, I gues I said all that to say that I don't hate Jacob. I just think he is the most misunderstood character in the franchise, and that's his writer's fault.

Jacob reminds me of Kayne.................nuff said.

He looks nothing like Kanye. I honestly don't know where this keeps coming from.

OT: He hasn't had really much that made him interesting or unique besides his attractiveness. On top of that, the few who really liked him got dumped pretty bad. Jacob is a jerk in ME3.

[Shajar]

I explain

1. He is nobody
2. I mean nobody
3. He is not special on anything
4. Does not add anything to story
5. Just random soldier
6. Boring guy with boring attitude
7. Compared to others he is invisible
8. He thinks he is third in command and does not realize Garrus is
9 And Tali
10. His personal story is dull
11. Loyality mission is boring and gets special attention from TIM
12. Talks always when you finished mission. Why? He is not in charge or give any advice's. ME1 did this good when ALL squadmembers were in room talking about last mission not just Jacob or Miranda
13. Talks **** about people you recruit.  Legion, Thane. He tries to get Tali hate more Cerberus than she already does

Those are my reasons, im not only one i think

I like Jacob. I just feel super awful for what had happened with his character write-up in ME3. I like him because he's a biotic. That helps in many of my missions. I also like it when he says, "Gravity's a meaaaan motha'!" But...with his dad and what happens to him in ME3, I can't help but feel that there's a huge racist undertone going on...

My FemShep didn't romance him but I always got the feeling it was purely flirtatious and sexual. She's not into younger men anyways. So when she saw him helping the Cerberus scientists I was all, "Good for you! I'm convinced you won't be anything like your dad."

But for the Jacobmanced FemSheps...holy geez. I would've wanted them to at least be given the option to kick him in the nuts or punch him in the face to redeem her dignity.

Jacob is a boring character with little character, horrible in combat and is just plain unint5resting. Then in ME3 he is not only OOC and makes no sense, he decides to cheat on you if you romanced you and then dumps you. I don't like cheaters, so Jacob can die for all I care.

[Hadeedak]

Poor Jacob. He suffers from being generic upstanding male protagonist syndrome....

But this isn't his game, and we're not playing as him, so he comes across as a bit flat.

Also he is the most suicidal member of your squad in combat (possible I wasn't using him right) and gives some hilariously bad advice. (Vents? Sure, I can do that! Let's go get the Reapers NOW.)

[Apathy1989]

Hahahahahaha wait you are serious?

Jacob is boring. He beats Kaiden at being boring, which is remarkable.
The way he talks is irritating.
In ME2 he is terrible in combat - shotguns and heavy pistol? Pull? I bring him for loyalty mission, thats it.
In ME3 he cheats on Shepard. 6 months and he's knocked up Lady Hawk. Talk about filling stereotypes. Then again I have no idea why any girl would romance him.

[Generic Screen Name]

I loved it when he trolled Tali "Don't forget to introduce yourself to the A.I." Jacob's alright. Even if he does have his weird moments. "I FEEL it...do you feel it?"

[DeathScepter]

he is not boring and not having personality flaws that stem from his daddy issues unlike the Cerberus Cheerleader or Tali. And capable in battle. Also Jacob has more authority than Garrus or Tali.

[Landon7001]

I just think Jacob is cool, he came of very well from me from start of me2, hes a bro for shep, a good biotic {vastly prefer him to kaidan whose one of my least favorite characters neway}, he had a decent story, i really liked his pairing w/ miranda-tose 2 as the cerberus leaders worked very well IMO, hes one of the truly good guys in al me an showed there are good ppl in cerberus
....zaeed-now hes one dimensional, now vega-hes one dimensional, now udina hes one dimensional....jacob was never designed to be one of te most interesting characters like legion or mordin, but an anchor and friend/kindred spirit for shepard.....in my top 10 and hope we get more of him in dlc

 His character was pretty awful in ME2. I thought he does improve in ME3 though. I don't think that him moving on from romanced femshep is a terrible thing either, so I don't hold that over him.

But even then, the improvement is not very big. He goes from a gun that Cerbeurs hired in ME2 to a guy who defends Cerberus defectors and does a little wet-work for Admiral Hackett. I was hoping to see him in more of a leadership role. Also, while his character is more likeable, I had to laugh at him a few times because of the voice-acting. Particularly, those bits in the hospital. The guy that voices him is kind of amateur if you ask me.

- Spends his life second guessing my judgment over who I bring to MAH ship.
- Is overshadowed by all the other men, even Zaeed, who as a character is as flat as it gets.

1st-there are several new recruits in me2 he enthusiastically approves of like semara, the main ione he didnt wa stane, an assasion we didnt yet know. and jacobs a moral dude,so...

2nd-saying other men{james? kaidan? please} especially zaeed overshadows jacob makes me think youre on drugs

His character was pretty dope in me2, and he did sound odd in the hospital in me3, but it was the same actor whose always done him great before, so i dont know

[MrStoob]

Most of the squaddies in ME2 bring something new of the ME universe to the table, Samara, Thane, Legion, Mordin, Miranda, etc. They have tales to tell, generally interesting loyalty missions, and deep brooding characters. Jacob has little of this. I'm in the 'boring' camp.

[gearseffect]

I always liked Jacob T. He was just a normal dude much like my Shepard, didn't share much of his back story (BW's fault for assuming we all would play the Iphone game). He was upfront with his reasons for not trusting Cerberus, reasons I shared given I played ME1 and saw what monsters they were.

When he wanted to throw Legion out an Air Lock, I honestly wanted to do the same thing, Hell I never wanted to even grab the thing and take with us off the Reaper. But I was forced to do it for the sake of the story. I wanted to still throw it out an airlock, in fact my first time I played ME2 I didn't do anything with Legion until after the Suicide Mission. I kept him deactivated.

Jacob T. was often like the dude in the game who said what ever I was thinking, and basing my judgements on from what I knew and did in ME1. I always liked him for that reason, and I really felt like he was more of my 2nd in command than Miranda ever was. Given Miranda was so loyal to Cerberus I didn't trust her as far as I could throw her. Jacob T. on the other hand I liked, and was quick to trust him.

[lunamoondragon]

 I never disliked Jacob, but there has been a lot of outrage over his character in ME3.
You cheat on Shep, you get fan-punched. 

[s17tabris]

Before ME3, I never hated him but neither was he one of my favorite characters. I never had any of my Sheps romance him but when I learned of what they did to the Jacob romance in ME3, I reloaded my ME2 suicide mission save file and let him die there. Since he's already dead, I no longer have any reason to hate him.

- He shouldn't be in the comm room in the first place. His job consists of making guns and doing push ups, why is he, a gun for hire, even there giving his opinion about people as if he mattered? If anything I'd rather have Miranda's opinion, you know, the second in command, and someone with tactical knowledge and leadership.

- Even Zaeed has better character development in his loyalty mission. We get to learn something about his background, what he stands for, what he's willing to do. His final scene killing Vido pretty much summarizes who he is, so it was meaningful.

Now, Jacob before meeting dad: I received a signal but I don't care about my father. That wound is already closed. It's just that maybe it's not automatic.
After meeting dad: Still don't care. I already mourned him ten years ago.

Yup great development there.

Jacob was clearly the next in command after miranda for cerberus, thats why it was always he and miranda in the comm room, in fact jacob was there more than mirana w/ mordin being like the third after those 2.....and zaeed was 1 dimensional as could be though i didnt hate him {or any me character},  Jacob was a very moral, good guy who was drawn away from the alliance by their bs and ened up with cerberus JUST LIKE SHEPARD, he was a bro, a kindred spirit....and its always obvious theres alot going on w/ him, he seemed to be a deep thinker, he did talk about bars a bit much though, buy thats nitpicking
