28? In Galaxy it said he was a veteran


If he joined the military (or began mercenary work) at 18, then he's been through 10 years of experience.  That pretty much qualifies a veteran title.

Kaiden pissed me off at how boring he was (and how he sounded like a fricken dweeb). But Jacob seems a little more interesting. He is probably one of my favorite characters so far, yet BioWare seems to be giving him the shaft.

While he agrees with Cerberus’ goals, he is can be conflicted over their means.



Typo.

The marketing focuses on the most radical of the characters.

SuZe - the violent psychopath, a lot of violent sexuality about her

Miranda - perfect sexual figure, lust

Grunt - brute force, hard-ass

Thane - mysterious, quiet, assassin

That is no way indicative that any of the other characters are any less fleshed out and interesting (subjective interests aside).

Besides, wasn't he the protagonist of the Iphone game?

Jacob=Kaidan=> boring.


And how is he like Kaidan, because he is a male human NPC? I think Jacob is going to be a interesting character and way better than Kaidan in every aspect.

It's not hard to best Kaiden's character.

And here comes the ''I hate Kaidan'' team to spew their nonsense once again.



I'm looking forward to working with Jacob. Too bad there is no video.

As long as he doesn't turn out to be "the black guy" I think I'll enjoy him.

So he agrees with Cerberus' goal of strengthening humanity but questions their methods, eh? Maybe the two of us will get alongImage IPB.

I suppose some people are fans of characters with absolutely no substance, emotion, or purpose?

Let's keep it on topic.  We are discussing Jacob.

Isn't he about the same age as Shepard?

He is.

Jacob is 28, Shepard still is 29 (you know, with him being dead and all.)

Do they explain his magical ability to inflate his cheeks between shots?

Now give us a video.
And I want to see if the man can carry a shotgun. Between my setup of my Engineer with Rocket Launchers (And if possible burst action Assault Rifle), Miranda for biotics and pistol stuffs I need someone who can do CQC.


Well, he's been using a shotgun just about every time we've seen him in a video, so...

Yes. Jacob has a shotgun.B)

From the way they word the characters on the squad page I would say that Jacob and SuZe are vanguards, Miranda is a sentinel, Thane is a sniper biotic variant, Samara is an adept, Tali is a engineer and Grunt is a soldier.

Did he and Miranda have relations at the end of Galaxies? If so that might have some impact on any potential Shepard/Miranda hookup, depending on how long ME2 starts after Galaxies.

I liked Kaidan. He was introspective, clever, and managed to be hardcore despite being nothing but support in combat. Hopefully, Jacob won't try to latch too hard to the 'tough guy' role.

That’s a good summary of Kaidan.

With regards to Jacob, even though I haven’t played Mass Effect Galaxy, from reading the story and its outcome I think we’ve already been given a strong insight into Jacob’s character. At his core I believe he’s a good and courageous man who’s just been spooked one too many times by dire situations. First at Eden Prime then during the time that encompasses Galaxy. I don’t believe that Jacob was very high up on the Systems Alliance command chain like Shepard was and thus as a simple soldier, albeit a biotic one, I doubt he’d be as well trained/prepared to deal with the endgame level catastrophes he’s encountered.

Such desperate situations can make a person feel small and weak, these vulnerable individuals are ripe pickings for insidious (fascist) organisations that prey on those looking for answers to make sense of their hardships and seeking power to make things “right”. Unfortunately, these organisations (Cerberus) often have differing ideas on what is just and how best to utilize power that are far from noble.

So I’m glad that he’s conflicted about Cerberus. Hopefully I can convince him of their evil intent and turn him from the “Dark Side” as it were, because I’m going to take every opportunity to crush them for what they did to Shepard and Toombs on Akuze, Kahoku and those numerous eezo “accidents” that they had a hand in (read Ascension).

Who knows what other sins they’ve committed not to mention any diabolical schemes they currently have planned in the name of “Human Supremacy”.
