Okay...does anyone know for sure who wrote the part for Jacob and Femshep( in her dialog with Jacob). I just have a hard time believing it was a female writer.
I have a hard time believing it was a writer who gave a damn at all and wasn't just messing with us.
I know there's some theories that he was written for guys playing FemSheps but I don't know, I haven't spoken to a single guy who likes it either. It's just... bad. Low grade porno bad with his talking about "prizes" and crap.
And Shep? Shep wouldn't act like that, Shep would kick him in the teeth. She's nobody's prize. 
Well, women on the rebound after a bad breakup tend to act very differently in the rebound relationship than they do naturally.... I didn't like the way Shep acted with Jacob, but it didn't strike me as completely unrealistic.
Also, some women (none that I like) would find that "prize" line to be very flattering. It goes to damaged self-esteem. However, as it happens, my femShep did not have any self-esteem issues and found that to be amazingly insulting. So insulting that I reloaded and went back hours to erase any inkling that femShep was at all interested in Jacob. It was totally worth it.
