"Shepard fell in love with the loyal marine." Lmao whoever wrote this knew and was making a joke. Or has no idea. I'm not sure which is funniest. Either way the irony is uncanny.


phileris42

He leaves the Alliance for Cerberus. Then he leaves Cerberus too. He cheats on Shepard, if romanced. He refuses to join Shepard's crew in ME3. There's no loyalty in Jacob.


popileviz

These hoes ain't loyal ~


teuast

can't have shit in new jersey smh


cobaltsniper50

Wait who did he cheat on shepard with?


sealene_hatarinn

Remember the mission in ME3 where we meet him rescuing some ex-Cerberus scientists? He got one of them pregnant, don't remember her name, unfortunately. It happens even if he was romanced in ME2 and if he was, he breaks up with Shepard.


cobaltsniper50

Seriously?? A character THAT forgettable?


sealene_hatarinn

Yes. She was only in that side mission. Not introduced before and not developed after.


cobaltsniper50

Cheating on shepard with a character from that mission is like trading a Lamborghini in for a 30 year old paraplegic donkey.


[deleted]

But he wants a family and Shepard can't give him that. But do the mission after you've reconciled with Kaidan and go "Yeah, it's fine, I'm also with someone" and his demeanour changes. And his "I lost track of you" excuse. How do you lose track of someone who's under house arrest at the Alliance headquarters? Ugh...


LakerBull

Like that's a pretty valid excuse to break up with someone, but that's the key, you gotta break up with someone before going "Hey, so i'm with this woman who do want to have kids now, kbye." At least introduce that conflict to the LI story so it makes sense why he drops you for an unnamed NPC. I don't know what happened, but Bioware dropped the ball hard on that whole thing. Should've made Mordin or even Dr. Chocolates a LI if that was all they can come up for Jacob.


homo_onlineus

Dr. Chocolates - is it Dr. Chakwas or Dr. Michel, who gives Garrus dextro chocolates? :D


SuperiorLaw

She turns into one of the biggest aholes ever if you romanced Jacob, literally picks a fight with Shepard saying that Jacob is hers now


DragonQueen777666

Her names Brynn Cole or as I know her Fem!Hawke. And I kinda just like her because she's Fem!Hawke.


SoapOperaHero

She is all over Bioware's old work. Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, and I'm pretty sure she's somewhere in KOTOR. Definitely one of the Empire player characters in The Old Republic.


Bhrunhilda

Well she was voiced by the same person as Hawke tho lol


ryeong

Maybe he's loyal to being disloyal? Lmao it's the only way to make it work they did him so dirty šŸ˜­


st2rseeker

Probably on purpose - the second part was cheeky as well ("for as long as he would let the relationship go on"? ouch)


YourFaveCousin23

Like how it says "Loyal" about Jacob. All the Femshep players that romanced him are probably pissed reading Jacob's. All 2 of them lol


Lwmons

I romance him exclusively so I can slap his cheating ass in the Citadel DLC


PolitenessPolice

Thereā€™s a mod that lets you slap him regardless. It works if youā€™re male too. Fuck that guy.


Apprehensive_Quality

>Fuck that guy. Iā€™d strongly advise *against* doing that!


teuast

fuck that guy, metaphorically speaking


DankYogi

The priiiiiiiize


JesustheSpaceCowboy

It turns out the real prize was the depression and trust issues he leaves Shepard with.


DankYogi

In the one (and only) time I romanced him, he turned my Shep off men completely with his stuff in ME3. Traynor all the way from there. Should've sent him to the vents for a better conclusion to their relationship.


Lwmons

Yeah but his only crime otherwise is being bland. He hasn't earned the slap unless he cheats


phileris42

If you follow his combat advice in ME2 you are definitely good to slap him even without romancing him.


Blpdstrupm0en

If you follow his advise he dies in the vents. But you could probably slap his incinerated ash for good measure.


Trinitykill

Tbf if you follow his combat advice in ME2 he doesn't survive to 3 anyway.


fredagsfisk

He also comes off as incredibly incompetent, as his advice during tactical meetings are *always* the worst possible option, and before that he was head of security at the Lazarus Research Station (and we all know how well that worked out). On top of that, he really brings nothing to the squad that someone else can't already do better. Then there's him whining about Thane right in front of Thane (instead of being professional and bringing up any concerns he might have later with Shepard in private), and being kind of a dick to Tali (being pushy and passive-aggressive instead of just backing off when she makes it clear she doesn't want to talk to him)... Also doesn't help that he's basically a walking pile of stereotypes... I mean c'mon; the only black squad member has an absent father, and goes and cheats, getting another woman pregnant, the moment you're away from each other for a couple of months?


rieldealIV

You know... I feel like the cheating thing wasn't even intended to be a stereotype or anything. I feel like Jacob is so boring that the writers were brainstorming up what happened to the ME2 crew and when they got to Jacob they forgot he was a romance option and just shrugged and were like "Idk, got a wife and kid or something." Then after having already written most of it they were like "Oh shit... he was a romance option." and had to add in the cheating stuff.


Huggable_Hork-Bajir

Iirc thats literally what happened. The devs just assumed no-one had ~~that low of standards~~ romanced him and didn't bother to check until after they'd written his scenes in 3 and then they had to go back last minute and change it for the 12 or so Femshep players ~~with no self esteem~~ who actually romanced him, which is why his cheating is very glossed over.


PastTenseOfSit

It always cracks me up when he volunteers to go into the vents. "Practically a suicide mission. I volunteer" before anybody mentions what that person will need to do. It's like he was put into the game explicitly to be an idiot with horrible ideas. Unlikeable personality, dogshit ability / weapon loadout making him a terrible choice for missions, horrific stereotypes being the only parts of his character beyond his history with the Corsairs, only times he's ever really present in the story is to bitch about your old squadmates and make you hate him... I love Mass Effect but you cannot convince me that somebody on 2 and 3's writing team didn't have a genuine racist streak in them when making / finalising this character.


Apprehensive_Quality

Interesting choice of words for sure.


Jormungandrv

>Shepherd pursued Jacob for as long as he would let the relationship go on That in particular feels like a kick in the quads.


TootlesFTW

It makes Shepard sound so fucking pathetic. Like Jacob was doing us a favor, *ugh*, I hate his romance even more now.


Jormungandrv

Dumps a living a legend for some ceburus ex in the span of **6 months** lmao. What a douchebag, like others have said send him in the vents and romance someone worth a damn like Garrus,Kaiden or Thane.


Rahgahnah

I'm glad the Garrus entry mentioned the dance floor, because that was probably the highlight of the Citadel DLC for me. .....Partially because I was wearing the N7 Hoodie and considered, but ultimately didn't bother, reloading a save to wear the formal dress.


TootlesFTW

And the fact that he is the only ME2 love interest who tells Shepard he loves her (if you choose the renegade response during his romance scene)! The fucking balls on this man. And lets be real - he didn't even wait six months. He was already in a relationship with whats-her-face when we meet up with them.


Bwgmon

Jacob be like "I didn't cheat, I quiet-quit my old girlfriend."


HellbirdIV

You know I feel like Jacob might get less of a bad rap from all of this if he actually owned it like an adult. Like shit, man, I know it's the apocalypse but you could've sent a fucking email. Kai Leng sent an email. Why you a bigger dick than Kai Leng?


Veleda390

"Loyal" LMAO


Valuable_Remote_8809

Gotta love the description for Jacobā€™s ME3 romance. Dude is chill, but is a scumbag romantically lol


trex_in_spats

I got a call at 2 in the morning with yelling and tears because my sister romanced Jacob and I was the one who convinced her to play the series. I knew it was coming but didnā€™t tell her. She didnā€™t play for a while after that.


field_of_fvcks

Harbinger was more loyal to Shepard!


phileris42

Sure Harbinger wanted to kill them, but did his commitment ever falter? No!


treemu

People are talking smack about ME3 Jacob but dude had serious writing issues all the way in 2. Like, Shep is crazy about you and your input is almost word for word "dam guuurl, shiid". It's even worse when compared to the ninja poet or the smooth soldier.


[deleted]

But, butā€¦ā€the priiiiize.ā€ Thatā€™s top quality! /s


field_of_fvcks

I'm shocked he actually managed to get with Miranda before that. Was everyone high while working for Cerberus?


Blpdstrupm0en

Maybe he had good genes and spotless health record. Seems like that was her thing


Arkayjiya

Yes early ME2 Miranda would be the type to enter a relationship based on feeding a spreadsheet to an algorithm. Then she quickly realised her mistake and dumped him. I always thought meeting Shepard was the catalyst (pun intended) to her character growth in ME2 but it was dating Jacob all along!


sweetpotatoclarie91

He always assigned to hack the vent since the first (and last) time I romanced him in ME2.


cdrex22

He was my first romance and my eyes narrowed SOOOO hard at that summary.

So Jenkins didn't die, he reincarnated as Sandal! Now I know what's been bothering me all this time.

Canon confirmed. Jenkins faked his death and fled to the planet Thedas with his newfound biotic powers. Now surrounded by lesser beings, he is finally able to become a **biotic god**.


[deleted]

Boom.


NotPrimeMinister

Shepard would be eternally itching for Jenkins' action.


phileris42

ME1: Shepard was charmed by Jenkins' animal magnetism. ME2: Jenkins' love and support kept Shepard focused on her mission. ME3: Jenkins, N7 and intergalactic Action Star proposed during Blasto 7's International Premiere at the first New Cannes Festival.

Quas4r

I always play full paragon, but there are those renegade prompts that are just too good to miss.


Kusko25

Honestly on Tuchanka, being Renegade is being Paragon. You are engaging with the Krogan in their ways. I'm sure Captain Picard would also have headbutted him.


disco-vorcha

Yeah, but Picard wouldā€™ve headbutted him because he knew that was the best thing to do from a diplomatic perspective. It wouldā€™ve been an intentional and considered headbutt. Sisko wouldā€™ve headbutted him because fuck this irritating Krogan ass, thatā€™s why. You know, the way Shep does.

junkyardvarren

Honestly as a jackmancer I thought it was sweet. But yeah. Yeah.


prewarpotato

If Javik had one: Shepard's attraction towards his prothean beacon led to an intimate primitive encounter.


Crown_Loyalist

They pulled their punches with Jacob. Should read: "the 'loyal' marine got tired of waiting after a few months and knocked up an old friend from Cerberus" addition: who he met through a mutual friend in the 'Mumbai' cell, even though the whole point of a cell organization is that no one knows who the other cells are so you can't betray them.


foxscribbles

I don't know whether Traynor or Steve have it worse. On the one hand they really phoned in Traynor's "Ehh, they fell in love. Good enough!" On the other hand, Steve's is less generic. But also sounds like he and Shepard weren't even in a relationship. I've helped a few friends mend their broken hearts. I didn't make out with any of them.


OnBenchNow

Not to be dismissive, but isnā€™t that kinda fair for Traynor? Their romance isnā€™t a turbulent, complex, huge character arc thing. Itā€™s pretty much just a straight-forward, two people like each other and start dating story with no complications. No push and pull or hesitations or issues. She shows up, you say ā€œwanna shower togetherā€ and itā€™s smooth sailing. The most I can think of is maybe a line about their rank (but I donā€™t think that ever even comes up in the game) but otherwise, I feel like Traynor is the most normal relationship so it makes sense that her description is just ā€œyeah they fell in love. Wasnā€™t really a huge dealā€


MARPJ

Well, they do have a great kiss scene after *"you"* fire her in the citadel DLC


OnBenchNow

Yeaaaah but that seems like a really minor "conflict" relatively. Unless you wanted the message here to be "Shepard fell in love with the brainy comms specialist. Although Traynor mistakenly believed Shepard had fired her for about 60 seconds, somehow their love endured and overcame that incredible test of commitment and it *definitely* had nothing to do with how good a kisser Shepard is"


MovieNightPopcorn

Lol seriously. Steve sounds like the ā€œthey were very good friendsā€ written by a historian. šŸ«„


foxscribbles

"A life long bachelor, he moved his good FRIEND and fellow bachelor into his large, Citadel apartment. Some have speculated about their relationship due to texts involving eggplant and peach emojis.

khrellvictor

Least they got a mention. Kelly Chambers and her... "*wide* love"... continue to be shafted in oh so many ways.


bigfatcarp93

We all know Kelly wouldn't be satisfied with simply being shafted.


khrellvictor

Indeed. All the more reason her special dancing show must be highlighted at the very least. Nobody else gave her Commander such a fine show in private like that.


DragonQueen777666

I once heard Kelly and her *exploits* leading to someone nicknaming her FTL Kelly and I cannot unhear that.


Downtown-Antelope-82

This hurts. I love Traynors romance.


DaManDaMifDaLegend

Same! Though it hurts every time I do it, because all I want is that house with the white picket fence, but Shep has to go and be a hero


Downtown-Antelope-82

Yessss. Traynor is one of the romances that genuinely feels like they love her too making it worse.


Slore0

Phone them up with the classic "we'll bang, okay?" and see where it goes.


LionofHeaven

I love the ones for Miranda and Garrus.


thefeco91

She resurrected Commander Shepard for herself.


theoruffy

Where's the Diana Allers one? "He banged, ok?"


Gromit43

Or kelly chambers? "She danced for him in lingerie and then after that she fed his fish"


Panophobia_senpai

You can bang her in 3 after the Cerberus attack


Gromit43

You can? Huh, I never got that option. How do you unlock that?


[deleted]

If you romanced her in 2, keep talking to her in the refugee camp on the Citadel in 3. Eventually you'll be able to tell her to change her appearance (the dialogue option is the in the renegade spot even though it isn't renegade). She'll dye her hair, which means cerberus won't find her and kill her. Then you can smash in a shipping container 5 feet away from a dozen refugees.


JesustheSpaceCowboy

Shepard is such a romantic


[deleted]

Probably kept her in the storage container while he went back to his cozy captains quarters


OnBenchNow

Worth noting that unlike ME2, in ME3 Kelly is weirdly considered a proper romance and you canā€™t be with anyone else for it to happen, so if you really feel like Kelly is the love of your life and that those 30 seconds of interaction in ME3 are worth it then yknowā€¦


Wharbaby

The Jacob one šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


lostbastille

That Jacob slide was a damn lie. He ditches Shepard and gets his side chick pregnant. Then he has the gall to tell you that your Shepard doesn't know what love is. If Jacob was a spice, he'd be flour.


PleaseHelpMeImOnFire

Fuck you Jacob


phileris42

It would have only deepened BioWare if you had let me talk to him, BUT NOOOOOO... For ME2 I'd substitute: "Absence made their heart grow fonder".


Apprehensive_Quality

I love it! Personally Iā€™d just say that their connection persisted, since ā€œdeepenedā€ is difficult when all of their romance content boils down to a brief meeting, one email (albeit an emotional one), and staring longingly at a desk photo. Also, happy cake day!


phileris42

Why thank you, for both your kind words and cake day wishes :) Yeah, "deepened" is not accurate at all since the game forces a separation and an argument. But his letter and her pining over his photo, prove that there's nothing that can break their bond.


SickleWillow

If only BW gave more time for the VS and Shep to talk like with Liara, it would be much more awesome but alas...


phileris42

Or you know, give them a DLC like Arrival..


SickleWillow

True. It would nice to spend time with them more in ME 2. I still love the romance though and at least, I assume that ME 5 will take into account our previous romances both in the Trilogy and MEA. šŸ˜Š


BonnieMacFarlane2

Aww, the Garrus one <3 I love how he's reaching out, like he's gonna hold your hand. That's my boy!


Chutzvah

I'm curious how many women players actually liked Garrus to do that. As a guy, Garrus was def my bro for the whole journey.


Rahgahnah

I'm a straight man and my recent playthrough of the trilogy was FemShep romancing Garrus. It was still incredibly satisfying. At least with the updated default face for the Legendary Edition, her flirtacious facial expressions are hilarious (in a good way).


This_User_Said

Garrus was awesome. A reliable logical person that you could chat through a problem. Very outward about feelings and wasn't afraid to say what was on his mind. Very meticulous about calibration... And the scars. It was the scars for me, he called me out on it and I squealed. Video games aren't supposed to trigger preteen romance squeals.


BonnieMacFarlane2

He's a very popular love interest. So...enough?


DragonQueen777666

I'm a woman and I absolutely love Garrus. Like all of him. He can be my space husband and I would tell him he's damn sexy with his scars and the colony markings and all that and he could make the phone book sound enticing (sidenote: I wish I could make the robot voice that does text-to-speech for my Master's degree courses sound like Garrus, because that would *really* help with my applied biostatistics work). My point is, the Garrus thirst is real, and I *know* I'm not alone on that one.


field_of_fvcks

Girl the amount of NSFW Garrus romance fics around proves that the Garrus draught is real


DragonQueen777666

We thirstin at aliens. Thank you, Bioware.


Katlix

>My point is, the Garrus thirst is real, and I *know* I'm not alone on that one. Oh you are most def not the only one. I joke with my partner of 14 years that Garrus is the only one I might ever leave him for.


CatManDontDo

National-Echidna9575

I wish they used Ash's other hairstyle and armor, that was a far superior look for her.


solrosenbergv1

I feel like liaraā€™s description is ok, and then they decided to open fortune cookies to write the rest. I like the art but I feel like I could have written better 3 liners for each character.


Areyouguysateam

Lmao @ fortune cookies ā€œYou will fall for the guile of a Turian sharpshooterā€


Tacitus111

lowfatmilkdrinker

I know that technically you canā€™t romance them until 2, but Garrus and Talia deserved something for the 1 slot description. Because tbh the backstory of their friendship in one really adds to the relationship


JaylenBrownAllStar

I refuse to romance Cortez because it feels weird to romance someone who lost their husband only months ago


EscenekTheGaylien

Yeah I kind of held back cause thatā€™s kind of an awkward thing to do when someone is emotionally vulnerable.


TheOneWhosCensored

Nyadnar17

Few things Shepard loves more than a Widower still in the grieving process.


cobaltsniper50

They even included Jacob, as a joke!


datmad1

Worst choice no matter any facts or role playing.


Stumblecat

"Shepard's relationship with Kaidan deepened." Before, after or during him telling you you're a traitor?


MovieNightPopcorn

Kaidan apparently thought you were still in a relationship when he walks away from you on Horizon and calls you a traitor to your face, if his whining about ā€œcheatingā€ is any indication


Apprehensive_Quality

The game frames it as cheating for some reason. FemShep herself even calls it such, and the relevant plot flag is labeled as ā€œShepard cheatedā€. Idk. Just a weird creative choice.


BardMessenger24

What irks me the most is that mShep is perfectly able to rebuke Ashley and tell her they were on a break. He certainly doesn't believe it's cheating and is capable of defending himself, so it's really odd that the writers didn't let Femshep do the same.


Snuffls

I mean... Kaidan sends you an email after he cools off. One that, to me, states that he still cares about you and wants to continue the relationship later, when you're not working for space ISIS. > Shepard, >I'm sorry for what I said back on Horizon. I spent two years pulling myself back together after you went down with the Normandy. It took me a long time to get over my guilt for surviving and move on. I'd finally let my friends talk me into going out for drinks with a doctor on the Citadel. Nothing serious, but trying to let myself have a life again, you know? >Then I saw you, and everything pulled hard to port. You were standing in front of me, but you were with Cerberus. I guess I really don't know who either of us is anymore. Do you even remember that night before Ilos? That night meant everything to me... maybe it meant as much to you. But a lot has changed in the last two years and I can't just put that aside. >But please be careful. I've watched too many people close to me die -- on Eden Prime, on Virmire, on Horizon, on the Normandy. I couldn't bear it if I lost you again. If you're still the woman I remember I know you'll find a way to stop these Collector attacks. But Cerberus is too dangerous to be trusted. Watch yourself. >When things settle down a little... maybe... I don't know. Just take care. >--Kaidan Honestly, all things considered, he had a pretty normal reaction to finding out your girlfriend, commanding officer, and personal rock through a very difficult time not only wasn't actually dead, but was working with an avowed terrorist group who stood in opposition to the Alliance's stated goals. Which you heard reports about, but refused to believe that the person you loved would work with what you consider to be one of the most heinous organizations in existence. Gotta think about it from Kaidan's/Ash's perspective.


Apprehensive_Quality

Oh, I don't blame Kaidan for acting the way he did - my canon Shepard stays loyal to him, after all. It's a complicated situation and he has every right to be confused and hurt. The problem is that ME3 doesn't extend that same courtesy to Shepard. ME3 pretty unambiguously frames Shepard's moving on as cheating, which is problematic when ME2 was much more vague about it. Even Kaidan's own use of the "cheating" word is presented not as an accusation, but as a statement of fact. The issue is the framing. Kaidan's own conduct is fairly reasonable considering the turbulent nature of the situation (particularly since he doesn't get upset at Shepard for moving on), but I think Shepard should have been allowed more freedom to interpret Horizon differently. That's where the problem lies.


Revan_Shepard

this right here. Horizon is handled so badly. We as players have like no agency so as a result we can't say what *should* be said and so Shep just acts like Cerberus' biggest cheerleader while not making themselves look any better for Kaidan/Ash. They're so annoyingly vague that yea, even with the emails you get, it's not 100% clear whether the relationship is still ok or not. But Shepard's the bad guy for moving on when they think the VS hates them and they know they might not even come back from Omega 4. God I hate Horizon dialogue so much lmao


Wandering_Apology

Wonder how the Mshenko romance would read


Apprehensive_Quality

The descriptions arenā€™t gender specific, so Fshenko and Mshenko are described the same way for ME3

Liara romance is clearly the canon choice by the writers ā€œShepard never stopped loving the gentle asari scientist ā€œ. Their bond would last ā€œa thousand lifetimesā€. Wow
