Jacob has to be one of the worst companions in the game... besides cheating on fem-shep after 6 months and attempting no contact... literally everything he tells you to do is wrong. There's the premise of a good character in Jacob, but it's squandered at every opportunity. Personally, I think the progression of his and Miranda's stories should have been mirror opposites. At the start if ME2 Miranda is the true believer in Cerberus and Jacob is somewhat on the fence. By the end of the game I feel that while Miranda loses her faith and quits, Jacob becomes more dedicated to the cause and in ME3 he is The Illusive Man's right hand instead of Kai Leng. Yeah, it being Jacob would have had more feeling than oh and here's this new guy... that you never saw before but trust us he's cool and awesome! and not at all totally lame >_> but he's totally a bad ass that has been here the whole time... you probably never heard of him though

The Garrus romance is perfectly fine, but the bro-friendship you eventually develop with him if you stay platonic is much more fun and interesting. The one I see people most excited about is Thane, which IS pretty good, but then a lot of these people were apparently extremely surprised and betrayed about the fact that the guy they knew was dying ends up dying. Liara's a bore, James is a meathead bore, I usually end up forgetting the fact that Jacob's even romanceable. Kaidan is Kaidan (though I hear a gay romance with male Shepard in 3 has some more interesting nuances). Kelly isn't even supposed to count. I can see some people potentially being annoyed by Traynor's flibbertigibbetness, but she's way better than anyone else on the table. Jacob has to be one of the worst companions in the game... besides cheating on fem-shep after 6 months and attempting no contact... literally everything he tells you to do is wrong. He is also mean to Tali, which I won't stand for.

Few things that came to mind over the past few days when I’ve been playing
I normally avoid regendate but after the geth ship mission I press that button so fast. F*** Gerrel man lol
Also forgot how much of a bunch of a******s Quarians are. I mean not Tali obviously, my Shepards one true and all ha but pretty much the rest with a couple of exceptions
Sheps distain for Dr Archer just struck me as hilarious…..Like I get why but to be that upfront about it was great
Kei Lungs passive agressive email was just sad…..Like is that your best shot?
I’m onto the last mission and where the f*** did this Major Coats come from…..like was he in the books or something because I get the impression I’m meant to give a s*** about him
Don’t think I appreciated how good mass effects Vigil them is. Just so good
And the opposite is true for the dialogue wheel. Don’t think is struck me before how jarring it is at times

I also love how much of the disdain for Archer. No other character gets that treatment and it's brilliant.
In terms of Coates he's from the trailer but he's also a leftover of a much more complex and involved final Earth mission that got cut for time.

I've been really enjoying the LE...until ME3 when it keeps crashing in the spot during the Attican Traverse mission.

I guess Shepard has a soft spot for autistic people and how Archer treated his brother really rubbed them the wrong way.
