Jacob seemed like a good man and good friend, just wasn't as interesting as the other characters. Of course, compared to whom he was being compared to, like Jack, Samara, and Thane, well that's just tough competition.



That said, I would definitely trust him on my team and I almost flirted him up but decided to go after a little red head yeoman instead and didn't want to cause chaos among the crew. Too bad I guess but then again my heart belongs to Liara.

We really need to make a Jacob support group, like everyone else has one, why not good old Jacob Taylor?

Um...technically, this is the Jacob support thread.

I might be able to throw together a couple Jacob banners, like my Commander Shepard one (I didn't do the Blasto one, a friend of mine did). Any suggestions as to what sort of color scheme might represent Jacob best?

[Prophet of Rage]

well they match ingame, might as well match banners.

I'm cool with Jacob. It's just frustrating talking with him on a Femshep. Every dialogue option feels like sexual harassment.

[Siansonea]

My issues with Jacob are simply that his voice acting isn't the best, and the facial animation is rather odd at times. Miranda never looks bad, but Jacob looks weird sometimes.

[Cloaking_Thane]

Jacob is my boy, I use him frequently, Insanity or not, game is easy anyway.

[BurstAngel75]

I like him too.

But I avoided talking to him after my first "I want to get to know you remark" After his loyalty mission, I finally got the nerve to talk to him again and I really like him alot, he has boundries and won't even let Shephard tread on them. A man with a a backbone always get my respect. I only wish I can romance him without feeling like a sleaze. Someone needs to redo that romance for us ladies.

Jacob's great, I don't understand why people don't seem to like him. He's just a solid dude, and one of male Shepard's closest buddies (along with Joker and Garrus) by the end of ME2. I still want to go get loud and spill drinks on the Citadel with him.

That's because you didn't play as femshep.

If you go with the neutral femshep responses you get the bro-hug as a femshep

To be clear...this is a thread that supports Jacob as a great wingman...and not a love interest?
If so, I support Jacob. He could be my beer pong partner against Doctor Chakwas and Joker.

If they add beer pong as a mini game aboard the Normandy I will literally urinate myself with glee... I kid you not, start a thread on this and I will sign it every day until ME3 comes out... I am tearing up just thinking about it

I am planning to involve Jacob in my fanfiction. It will not deal with him primarily, but I am guessing there will be more of him in it than many other fanfiction.

Jacob has one decent skill (Incendiary Ammo). I can't see why anyone would ever chose to take him over ANY of the other squadmates. As a character he is just bland and uninteresting.

Sorry guys, the Bro comes in last place out of 11 squad mates.  He seriously needs a red Star Trek uniform, IMO.

That's because you don't know how to use Jacob. Incendiary Ammo is Jacob's least valuable skill. If you dumped any points into that skill besides the default  point already given, you're not using Jacob to his best potential. Pull Field, Heavy Barrier (Makes him very tough to kill), and Cerberus Veteran (gives him a health boost) are the the only skills Jacob needs. Incendiary Ammo panics organics with only one point allocated to it. You don't need the damage bonus of Incendiary Ammo because organics don't attack while panicking. That gives you the opportunity to attack them safely.

Jacob is far from the least useful in the squad. He's the toughest member on the squad after Grunt. Pull Field is one of most useful biotic skills in the game period.  Heavy barrier means you don't have to micro manage his ass in battle to prevent him from going down. Inviscerator shotgun gives him good range and power. Combine that with Incendiary Ammo and he can tear up panicked organics.

I can think of several reasons to take him on missions over Jack and other members who are not as tough. Jack doesn't have a skill that ranks her higher than Jacob. She's a close combat vanguard with no barrier skill so she's pretty easy to take down. Shockwave is not as useful as pull field. Jack has pull field but she can't take damage like Jake. At least Tali has combat drones but she's weak as hell too. I'd immediately rank him higher than Jack. I always take Jake in the final reaper battle because of his toughness.

Bottomline: Jake and Grunt are the toughest. The others require more micro managing and medigel.

The drinks part is the best line he has in the game, and even though I don't use him, as a character he's good.

Why, does he turn into the world's biggest douche if you have ladyparts?

Jacob gets hated on an awful lot and he was one of my favorite characters throughout. Garrus seemed... more distant, than ME1. I thought Jacob was a legit guy, and I appreciated his honesty right off the bat. I like that he doesn't care for Cerberus, and he was the first character Shep could really trust at all.

I don't see why not having deep emotional issues or psychological scars make him any less interesting, I liked that he had his s*** in order and his head on straight.

Jacob is my boy, enough said

Hells yeah...  I loved Jacobs character.  I just wish he had a different weapon besides a shotgun.  He always seems to die on me really easily.

[Cypher0020]

I think Jacob's ok. Agree with Joker about him- waaay too polite for the ways he knows how to kill people tho



Here's hoping Jake and Ash can be my new squad in ME3. If my Femshep can get then and Liara back she'll be one happy woman

From what I've heard his romance path is rather sleezy and unappealing, but that's just from mere heresay since I have yet to actually take the plunge and attempt to romance him myself. That'll probably what I do with the next character I import.
Frankly I played as Femshep and while Hale's 'flirty' voice annoyed me immensely, I found Jacob to be a rather solid friend. He's like the morally ambiguous younger brother my Shepard never had.

Sleazy on his part or Shepard's, though?  I just can't see Jacob as a scumbag.  Does not compute.  I do know that Shepard gets some cringe-worthy lines in some of the romances, though.
