Double LOL.  Still no love for Jacob.

out of morbid curiosity what seems to kill Jacob for most people? I think he's a likeable enough guy, the whole AI comment was kind of out there, but still...

He's just too... bland, I guess. Like they took a stereotype machine, fed some information, and voilà, there he is.

First thoughts? He doesn't like Thane, and he had a thing with Miranda

I like the dude.  He was cool.  That said, there are many other people with shotguns I would rather have in my party.  If he had something besides shotgun/pistol, even, I'd consider it.  I mean, heck, Jack is a better shotgun biotic.  Add how the higher difficulty levels make most biotic powers a bit "meh," and he's a tough choice to logically make.

I guess people don't like how FemShep flirts with him, too.

I actually thought his comment about Thane was legitimate.  Hypocritical, coming from a guy in a terrorist organization, but legitimate nonetheless.

Oh yes, that too. It's just too in-your-face.

I think his loyalty mission did him no favours, i didn't connect with the character at all really, don't know why

Or maybe i was put off by a man in basically posh leather overalls...

I really don't wanna start a big fight or something, this is honestly a thought that just came to me regarding the whole interbreeding bit.
Although I've never taken an biology courses, I've taken a lot of physical anthropology courses which dealt a great deal with miscegenation (breeding between races/species). Here's the thing: everyone's always arguing that it's in every basic biology course that the dna of seperate species can't combine. I don't deny that at all. but here's my point; in any of these courses, did anybody ever learn about a race of sentient machines liquidating biological life forms to somehow, through some unknown process, propogate their own mechanical species? Yes, science fiction has to be roughly based in scientific fact, but at the end of the day, the it's still fiction, and fiction will always take over at some point. There's always a point in science fiction where you have to suspend you logical beliefs and just give in to the narrative, take a leap of faith and emerse yourself in the story. If we can't do that, then we had might as well all go out and get texts on genetic sequencing and discuss that, because that's all that will be left.

So bottom line, here's my stance on the subject:
Modern science says species cannot, under almost any circumstances, interbreed and produce viable offspring. (I say almost because technically, according to nomenclature, wolves and domestic dogs are seperate species, though they can still interbreed). But we're not talking about modern science, or even this world at all. We're discussing a world in which all technology is based around a fictional substance, which doesn't exist in our universe, and has various near magical effects on anything and everything with mass. If the writer's can come up with that, and have it accepted, I don't see why we are arguing so often and vehemently over the postualted use of some other fictional technology that could allow interbreeding. Who knows, maybe Eezo has some weird side effect that allows different DNAs to combine somehow:huh: it doesn't really matter, because it's science fiction. What the authors say is true is true, regardless of how it's viewed from a human perspective.

just my two cents^_^
.............actually, that looks a bit more like a buck fifty:huh:

Or
bend Garrus over the main battery, whichever ../../../images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png See what you
started jkthunder, the thread just got 3% more gay. I said Thane cuz I
read that he was gunna be a M/M LI in ME2 but then decided to make him
married to a girl. Unless that is completely false in which case those
people were just making **** up ../../../images/forum/emoticons/ninja.png

Thane's
wife is dead, he IS a femshep LI 

I'm talking about
Thane being bisexual. I read on the S/S Romance thread he was designed
to be bisexual then they scrapped it. Wait a minute, those same people
said the same thing about Tali. Confused.

Well
after Shepard leaned back against that table while talking to him I'm
like "omg it's a gay romance" then I did the same thing when talking to
Garrus so DERP they give the same animations to both characters. I
wonder how many people still think you can shishkabob Jacob and Garrus
because of Shepard's posture when in conversations lol

OK, there was some reason to doubt Thane's trustibility but when Femshep was there I get a feeling that he was jealous...

Interesting bit on the wolves and dogs. Bioware could easily explain it, but what's the point altogether? You want there to be a pregnant scene? Or you want at the end of ME3 Tali says "Shepard, I'm pregnant". The latter would be legendary, but of course not a gamebreaker.

Good point.  I don't play FemShep, so I wouldn't know.  As far as Miranda goes, Jacob is more than welcome to her.

You pictured a Shepard, Jacob, Thane, and Garrus shishkabob didn't you ok just to be clear I'm not a homophobe I just find some things...humorous.

His loyalty mission was freakin epic, man.
Idk if it was the music or the story in general, or the way Jacob says
"what the hell", but it was pretty dark, and the end scene is legendary.
Shepard and Tali pacing around while Jacob talks to his dad and the
sick males are creeping up. It's the little things that make a story. Tali's loyalty mission was this big --------------------------------------------------------------------------- everyone else ----------------------------- and Jack's loyalty mission was ------.

I'm not necassarily for or against that kinda ending, I'm just saying that it's a fiction, so the reems and reems of arguments over the past near-5000 pages is really kinda pointless. What is is, what isn't isn't, and that's just the way fiction goes.


Tho that ending would be kinda sweet:wub:
