I love the fact that Jack is the angriest most foul-mouthed squadmate, yet her romance has the most touching and tender scenes in it. I mean, just look at those eyes at 5:59.
+LostMercenary99 I just caught that too! Guess I pretty much have to pick the destroy ending if I ever romance Jack (haven't done it in any of my playthroughs yet).
Jack: You know what it's like to think you're alone and find out you're not? Shepard: Pretty much, yeah. Jack: Well fuck, there goes the speech I had planned.
Jack isn't my favorite romance in Mass Effect, but it easily has my favorite moment. When she hugs Sheppard, tears streaming down her face.... finally accepting that somebody in the universe fecundity genuinely cares about her... that's just powerful. I think that's the most intimate moment in the whole series. That hug, right there. Jack actually placing her trust in Sheppard. It's such a beautiful moment. Well done Bioware.
I think the real Shepard got with Liara first. I think Garrus pulled Tali because she is ideal for the chill guys. Then Shepard briefly dated Ashley before getting and staying with Miaranda. Because Shepard is most likely a balanced character with rool paragon and renegade moments. Jack and Aria are for the rare and truly hardcore though. Personally think Tali is the best kind of girl though. Because they all represent real types of women irl. Liara definitely didnt last because shes a thot and a freak. She talks nice but, is crazy on the inside. The is actually like most pretty women.
@@billclark5055 Tali is too balanced, that's why I don't find her appealing. Ashley' is respectable in a few areas because she is the one who knows who she is throughout the entire game. But the vibes she gives off seem be focused on proving she doesn't need anyone and doubting everything you do and why you do it. Also won't go into detail about 'Aliens apart from the Animals'. She also shot Wrex in the back if you give her the opportunity if you fail to convince him. Liara also went from awkward, isolationist archaeologist to galaxy spanning information broker who will flay your mind if you don't pay her, but she isn't malicious by default. If anyone was thrown into a room with Morinth, I would love to see someone with the logic behind Liara being a thot or freak if you have to deal with her or Morinth. Morinth will only kill you if you're interesting enough, she targeted specific people. Liara is dynamic, but Morinth is sexier. Brain aneurisms over thot and freaky any day!
@@billclark5055 I romanced Miranda and, with the exception of Tali or Ashley once or twice, I always romance Miranda. I can't not romance Miranda. I need to romance Miranda. I know Liara is the canonical romance option and has the most amount of content written for her, but I have never done a complete Liara romance.
+Darth Serpace Wath? Makeing tattoo? BW is bunch of cowards for backing all sex scenes after ME controversy. C'mon CDP could make them in Witcher series and nobody died from hearth attack seeing them.
Jason Armstrong Even more. FBII are humans. EDI is literally ship as whole. In theory, for her to catch anybody on ship it's enough to just lock doors.
Jakomi of the Rose - With her character being as it was, I'm kinda surprised they didn't make her bisexual. I don't know why, but for some reason I think it would've been befitting for her character. The one thing I wish they would've done by ME3 is have given her long flowing hair, instead of the cut she had. Her look, both I'm ME2 and ME3, was a little to butch for my tastes.
Jack is the living embodiment of the phrase "Inside every pessimist is a disappointed optimist". Dig beneath the hardened, bitter, "fuck you" exterior, and you find someone who's extremely loving. Someone who cares intimately about a sense of family and the safety of those close to her. Once you get past her barriers (pun intended), she's close to being as adorable as Tali... just with a lot more swearing.
Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity. In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes." And let's you play her shore leave toy in the last days of your life. Blocking every other romance with people like Tisoni, who really watch your back. I like how she still spills out the "I'm the victim" shit. Turning himself in to the alliance, was a good way for Shepards crew to be acceptable too. Maybe even an ex-con could become a teacher... finding a new family ( " Those kids are mine.MINE.") But she blames him for it. Allways playing the guilt card. Harder, if he is reluctant to refresh their relation ship. Even in caring for others she can only care for herself. In the end, she's the one, who is just making out. Clever disigned. And you can't blame her for being a survivor. And she won't really blame you for being no survivor.
I really wish they'd show how each character reacts to his death giving special attention to whoever your romance choice was. Though I feel jack would be broken more then the others

Honestly, I think she would go somewhere a safe distance away from everyone just unleash a biotic wave that would level everything around her, then just break down crying. I would think though that given how she develops during the romance and the series she would have a support system to help her through it.
***** You guys got it all wrong. Miranda is kuudere as in she's cool and all business on the outside but sweet on the inside. Jack is not yandere, she'd be totally obsessed with Shepard or tsundere, she'd be acting like she hates him and never be honest with herself or him. She's her own category: jackdere. Just her crazy contradicting self and sometimes loving.
I thought that the Jack romance was the sweetest. In the end, Jack let go of her rough exterior and let Shepard in. Her crying really moved me. Sometimes the toughest people are the ones who need love the most.
gokulauri Erm no your wrong, she has a soft side however she has had a life of abuse so doesn't open up unless someone is presistant. She was on various websites that would be for soft people.
The part where Shepard cups her chin and says "It's alright. No more questions." and they embrace and she starts crying. To this day, that still sends tendrils of warmth winding around even my icy and lightless heart.
I gotta say, Jack was one of the more interesting and awesome characters in this series. (up there with Thane) In addition to being a great modified example of the "tough exterior, complex inner feelings" character type, her whole reaction to Shepard's constant lack of giving up on her is played believably and realistically. It felt much harder to get to her than the other characters, and that made conversations between her and Shepard much more interesting. Plus, if you want any other reasons, she's one of the strongest allies in the entirety of Mass Effect 2. Maxing out her biotic abilities makes her "freight train" levels of unstoppable, and she's tied with Grunt in terms of offense.
SEnigmaProductions Also, completely off-topic here, but Shepard is absolutely *deadpan* in these games. Even when his face is smiling, his tone never ever changes. It makes a lot of potentially good scenes end up being *really* awkward.
Williams is way harder to get AND keep. If you want to get Williams the best place to start is M.E. 1, then begins the hard part, saying the right things, keep in mind shes a military brat and a Marine, and most guys are not use to dealing with strong confident military chicks like her, you have to be playful, caring, a small amount of Renegade, but by a great majority Paragon. She gets jealous big time, so if she survives the bomb planting mission ( You choose Ashley or Kaiden) and you do get her in bed, and you finish your M.E.1 story with her, M.E. 2 will be torture if you want to remain faithful to williams, but if you do manage to keep your Johnson in your pants, M.E. 3 will be rewarding, and easier to lock her in compaired to if you dint lock her in in M.E. 1 or you did but you sliped up and banged another chick in M.E. 2, if you did do the later then its a uphill battle from there because of her jealousy, but its not impossible. The easiest and well rewarding that I have seen is Tali, Liara is harder then Tali because shes hardly arround in M.E. 2 unless you play the D.L.C. ( Yes I know, another finger from Bioware), but Liara is easier to get back with in M.E. 3, where as if you reject Tali, Miranda or Jack in M.E. 2 thats it your screwed in M.E. 3. Oh and one more thing, If you want to keep your crew alive at the last misstion in M.E. 2 Have all of your crew loyal, Miranda as your leader, Tali the one crawling through the vents, that fish guy Thorin I think his name is escort the survivors, the Justicar help get you through the swarm, and Mordin and Jack fight beside you the whole time, thats what worked for me, check it out and see if it works for you, and dont use Grunt at all, the firefight at the shuttle will be brutal.

I really liked how Jack became a teacher. I know a girl like her and they nail that type of personality. Both my friend and Jack just want to help people but don't know how. So to find her helping kids with their biotics, in her own Jack-type way, was awesome.
I . . . love . . . how Shepard and Jack are having this whole conversation that's, y'know, personal and really no one's business - but James and the other squadmate are just standing five feet away. Staring right at them. Classy.
My favorite thing about this romance, is the 2nd game when she first comes up to your cabin. All she's ever wanted is a genuine hug from someone who honestly cares about her and isn't interested in using or abusing her. The image of that hug, and her years of pain pouring out in the form of tears, melts even my icy and lightless heart.
My favorite part is, how she lets you go thru her biggest fear in part 3. Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity. In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes." And let's you play her shore leave toy in the last days of your life. Blocking every other not harmful romance with people like Tisoni, who really watch your back. I like how she still spills out the "I'm the victim" shit. Turning himself in to the alliance was a good way for Shepards crew to be acceptable too.

Harder, if he is reluctant to refresh their relation ship. Even in caring for others she can only care for herself. In the end, she's the one, who is just making out. To me, she was the only romance option at all and the worst in 3. Hurt like hell.
Jack and Thane are two of the best romances, the only reason I like Thane more is because it matches up perfectly with the ending, him "waiting across the sea". There's no heartbreak for someone after Shepard's story ends. It's incredibly beautiful.
Truly the most rewarding romance in the game, the way she see that for the first time someone actually care for her and she starts to open up emotionally is beautiful.
this is one of the more endearing romances. here is a girl, psychologically and physically scarred through experiments, betrayals, and being used and dumped. then in comes the hero of the galaxy to show her that someone does care and pulls her back into the light.
then she lets him live her biggest fear. to her, there must be a vicim in a romance - and it won't be her. Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity. In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes." And let's you play her shore leave toy in the last days of your life.

I think Jack is easily the best romance option, shes the one that shows the most growth and I think has some of the most touching personal moments throughout the series.
She uses Shepard as a stepping stone for her growth. Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity. In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes."

@@kenkongermany7860 the amount of trash that you writed is amazing. Liara and Tali are by far the most cringy romances in the whole series, the cult of shepard is just pathetic meanwhile romances with Ash, Miranda and Jack are focused in development and supportive relationship bethween two person with traumas and insecurities, Shepard develop a real chemistry with those trhee romances because it give him something that feels true, natural and human none of them are planned to be perfect but u can find some sincere about those womans and that is they love Shepard despite everything. and the fact of Jack caring about those children is completely understable, they doesnt have family as her, they are discriminated by their condition and they find themselves in middle of a galactic war, sending them to the front is inmoral. as you can see in Thessia being a biotic aganist reapers is almost useless, unless you're a very unique biotic like Shepard, Samara, Jack, Aria or Liara being of biotic child with no experience in combat for sure you will be butchered. and the way you are speaking is like you only consider you playthrough as everybody's canon lmao, as if Shepard cannot lie, manipulate and use people for his own sake or the mission. Typical braind dead shipper.
@@dr.chocolates2630 Hm, I talked a bit ruthless about fictional charakters. You try to insult a living person. Which is kinda funny, because I share your impression of a highly manipulative Shepard. He/She is often in both paragorn/renegade adapting to the person in front of him/her. So the best way to find out, what shepard really thinks of a person, is to play him in both ways. Which I did. Veeery often. Yes, Jack loves male shep as much as she can. But... that isn't much. Ever delayed the last step to Jack visiting you in your cabin in part two until after the suicide mission? Funny little detail there : Remembering Murtock(s death), tears dwell in Jacks eyes. They are still dwelling then, when she talks to shep in his cabin. And start floating when ... you no. So, who is on her mind the most in that moment ? She loved both. Murtock and Shep. And survived both. Who knows, if Murtock wouldn't have survived if she fought at his side ? But she never tried. As with shep. Jack: Surviver first, lover second. Shepard : Jesus/Legion/Messias first, lover second.
***** If you have ultra high military and galactic readiness, Shepard may have lived and woke up in the rubble back on Earth but it is all up for interpretation (Indoctrination theory and all). It does make sense though when Jack says that she gave you that tattoo to find you under the rubble and bodies if you get hurt because she doesn't want to lose another loved one ever again, poetic if you think about it.
I've had like 4100+ EMS before the final mission, I did every possible side quest in the game. I think with like 3000+ EMS you can get that best ending, destroy, Earth gets saved and Shepard lives.
@@jamesherb4384 I'm pretty sure Edi is gone for good, but there's a good chance they could rebuild the Geth, not Legion specifically, since he was made up of thousends of different Geth, but I'm sure they could rebuild them
Dammit! this got me foggy eyed. I romanced Miranda in ME2 and 3 but seeing Jack as a character that has a tough shell but a soft soul is making me regret.
+Seth ノートン Yeah, but to most people, that would be so much work. You have to start a new game from the first or second, then you have to do a bunch of missions, while talking to your romance interest after the mission, while making sure you don't fuck it up. It just seems like a lot of work
I prefer maleshep. The sheer, cold emotionlessness in his delivery of funny lines is absolutely priceless. Especially in the third game. Shepard is the king of trolling.
look at 5:30 that scowl on her face. And then at 5:48 how her expression changed and how vulnerable she looks. Doesn't matter the texture resolution, doesn't matter the number of polygons. Not one of the Mass Effect: Andromeda characters is able to pull that out. And don't get me started on their eyes and the light reflexion 15:33
I pull the renegade move and just f*** her. I'm a realist. chicks like her do not get loved they cannot be loved and if you do love her and they try to settle down they will do something to self fulfill the prophecy that she cannot be loved. it's not possible and it's never going to work. they good for f****** though
Yeah I get that, she was emotionally damaged but it's not like she had issues with getting in relationships she just didn't trust them when she was. She trusted it with Shepard and that's what counted.
@@madkabal Maybe not by you or me, but we can't save the galaxy, either. Shepard? He's another matter entirely. If he can inspire a ragtag bunch of mercs and crazy people to fight off and die against the greatest threat to the galaxy, he can convince one woman that she deserves to be loved.
there's a lot of comments on here, but is anyone else kinda bummed at how little time we get with Jack? looking at the related videos sidebar, Cortez has even more time with Shep. dude's only in the third game.
Another reason for ME3's hate I'm sure. So little time with characters we loved. I mean, it goes from 6 in ME1, to like 12 in ME3, then they rip that all away from us and put us back at 6. Plus, the whole "wander around the ship is where most of the interaction comes from" was just a poorly implemented. They should have done the traditional ways (full character interaction and dialogue instead of just discovering them doing stuff).
Agree totally. Always eager to talk to Jack in ME2 and see her those 2 short times and wait to play Citadel (always play it after Horizon) to hear her "you belong to me" (never push paragon button just to hear and watch that scene), to hear her "tattoo" comment "it's not about nice etc". (she still has her manner of speech but it doesn't bother me at all). In these moments you really see that she loves you (too bad about endings for her, loosing a person she loves...). Of course it frustrates as hell that other characters have more content: you see Miri even more and Horizon "die" scene - if she dies of course - made as if she is ME3 squad member (at least it is for me) Or just look at Tali dialogies, or Liara: I come to Mars, my male Shep, who is SOO eager to see the only woman he loves and he doesn't even know if she is alive, looks and talks to Liara as if he is about to kiss her...WTF is this? Obviousely Jack is not popular (wrote it in another comment ), people even made HUGE mods for Miri, Tali, Ash, but Jack? Shame to me that I can't create mods, if could, would have done a huge mod for her similar to Miri or something else. Poor underestimated (but beloved my me and minority of other players) Jack.
i heard that she was initially supposed to be able to be romanced by both, but because of the outrage of by the media over sex in video games at the time, caused bioware to tone down that sort of stuff, i believe there are even voice lines in the that are for femshep as well, but not 100% on that.
Jack was one of those characters that i didn't think i would like, but i actually ended up liking a lot. Never romanced her but she's still one of my favorite ME characters.
"So what? You've ever seen me flinch? Or run? Death is easy, fucking on/off switch! But this, it just burrows in, like those husks you end up with nothing inside." - and I was positively swayed
The fact that the Destroy ending looks like it's going to be canon makes me really happy about the last scene with Jack, and the ink. Because it means Jack could be the one to find him under all that rubble. And she deserves to know he's alive.
Jack's fear of feeling love for someone and finally opening her heart to Sheppard, the only being that's treated her right and has worried about her makes this romance one of the best I've seen in a videogame. It really touches. It's so real.
Speaking of real : Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity. In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes."

Jack’s PTSD was real and I always found that dealing with her was pretty damn similar to dealing with close friends who also suffered from PTSD. Loved breakin’ down her walls and getting to know the secretly fluffy Jack ❤️
@@kenkongermany7860 I kill the quarians because as nice as Tali is and some of the people, their leadership is fucking incompetent and in ME3 the geth are just easily the better allies, especially when you go through the sequence watching their creation and “rebellion.” The quarians were dipshits. That and legion is as cute as Tali don’t @ me
Ahh Jack's the greatest. Playing the Citadel DLC after beating the game just recently makes that sequence at 15:00 all the more tragic. Really touching. I'm looking forward to ME4, but I can't imagine falling in love with another group of characters to anywhere near the same extent as in this series. Jack, Garrus, Mordin... Ahh, I wish there were more DLCs!
Maddolis INB4 EA makes indoctrination theory canon, now that would be a twist. An you take control of a new hero to actually get rid of the reapers as Shepard is MIA/dead/indoctrinated.
I still think this is the best romance in the game. Every time i either see this vid or play the game i keep thinking that this is better than Tali or Liara (although i don't dislike either of them) But the moment at 5:55 is my favourite. Throughout the game you have been pealing off one layer after the other with Jack. She built this wall around her and you took it down, piece by piece. You dug deeper than anyone else ever even tried. And now, as she shows up with tears in her eyes... at her most vulnerable... you point out that you won't peel any further. You won't force her to open up any further. She is safe with you. You finally reached her core and you only embrace it. And then that part when you hug her and you see that she is indeed crying, it just makes me want to throw Shepard away and hug her myself. And there is no sex scene here. No moment of extacy or sweaty-naked passion. Just calm and trust. It is not what you might have been wanting, but it was what she needed. Damn... the writing in this storyline is amazing.
jack - “ no matter what happens , keep shooting “ Shepard - “ what about you ? “ Jack - “ I’ll help pop your thermal clip “ That’s like the best sex ME innuendo ever .
I ended really like Jack's romance. I was originally going to do Miranda but there's a part of the game I sided with Jack and ran with it...did not regret it
UnlimitedProduction1 I have a similar experience as you except it was Tali instead of Miranda. I guess it was because I reunited with her late my ME2 storyline. By the time I got Tali, I was already engaged with Jack. Also, didn't regret it :)
Man I wish that they would make a game about Shepard and jacks romance I romanced her in me2 and me3 as well and it makes me so sad how little time you get with her it really is a shame she's such a great character and hot as hell too
Jack in 3 is such a brilliant evolution. I love her in that game, finally tapping into her potential and being just the right amount of sass, horny, and badass. Plus the mohawk hairstyle is perfect for her.
@Shaheem Grimes Gokuson first of all don’t go around calling me a fanboy cause i am NOT a man 🤢❌ second of all you know damn well most mass effect players agree that male!shep’s writing and va was bland at best
Jack is by far the best LI for a sole survivor Shepard who survived Akuze background due to the fact both Jack and Shepard have been screwed over by Cerberus in the past
Jack: Hey
Shepard: WE NEED TO DISCUSS OUR RELATIONSHIP
Meeko Harrod I was like: " Dude, why the fuck are you ordering her!!!???"
Jack: that escalated quickly
@@GhostVanguard yep

I love the fact that Jack is the angriest most foul-mouthed squadmate, yet her romance has the most touching and tender scenes in it. I mean, just look at those eyes at 5:59.
SpikeJetEdFaye "It's most fun to corrupt the most innocent beings" also works the other way round
SpikeJetEdFaye yeeaa. I did. Is something maan...
This is exactly what made it such a great romance, in my opinion. That juxtapositioning of the two. No one could soften her except her Shepard.
Aahh maan! Romancing jack is the best!;)
@@neomatrix6749 odd taste. She looks like a human with barcodes all over. Just my opinion, don't judge
"lying in a pile of rubble at the ass end of this war"

At least Jack can find your body... I guess? Still sad that she was right.
Aw... Lmfao.
Never noticed this thank you you kind soul
+LostMercenary99 I just caught that too!
Guess I pretty much have to pick the destroy ending if I ever romance Jack (haven't done it in any of my playthroughs yet).
nik Bahtin spam and noodles
Each time Shepard says "the best" under his/her breath I get all emotional. We had a damn good ride with you shep. Thanks for that
I agree.
i was disappointed that the new game isnt shep.
Dammit, now you got me all emotional.
I remain eternal
I will say this romance option seems to be the most rewarding. I always went for tali, so I never saw this side of her.
I feel like Jack has one of the most underrated romance. I wish more work went into it.
Lol the speech is robotic obviously.
Jack: You know what it's like to think you're alone and find out you're not?
Shepard: Pretty much, yeah.
Jack: Well fuck, there goes the speech I had planned.
It was a good speech too, about how we're so different and things were going to go ass-up if we tried anything. Like a good way to let you down hard.
Jack isn't my favorite romance in Mass Effect, but it easily has my favorite moment.
When she hugs Sheppard, tears streaming down her face.... finally accepting that somebody in the universe fecundity genuinely cares about her...
that's just powerful.
I think that's the most intimate moment in the whole series.
That hug, right there. Jack actually placing her trust in Sheppard.
It's such a beautiful moment.
Well done Bioware.
Yeah my favorite is Tali but I know she really gets with Garrus
I think the real Shepard got with Liara first. I think Garrus pulled Tali because she is ideal for the chill guys. Then Shepard briefly dated Ashley before getting and staying with Miaranda. Because Shepard is most likely a balanced character with rool paragon and renegade moments.
Jack and Aria are for the rare and truly hardcore though. Personally think Tali is the best kind of girl though. Because they all represent real types of women irl.
Liara definitely didnt last because shes a thot and a freak. She talks nice but, is crazy on the inside. The is actually like most pretty women.
@@billclark5055 Tali is too balanced, that's why I don't find her appealing. Ashley' is respectable in a few areas because she is the one who knows who she is throughout the entire game. But the vibes she gives off seem be focused on proving she doesn't need anyone and doubting everything you do and why you do it. Also won't go into detail about 'Aliens apart from the Animals'. She also shot Wrex in the back if you give her the opportunity if you fail to convince him.
Liara also went from awkward, isolationist archaeologist to galaxy spanning information broker who will flay your mind if you don't pay her, but she isn't malicious by default. If anyone was thrown into a room with Morinth, I would love to see someone with the logic behind Liara being a thot or freak if you have to deal with her or Morinth. Morinth will only kill you if you're interesting enough, she targeted specific people. Liara is dynamic, but Morinth is sexier. Brain aneurisms over thot and freaky any day!
@@billclark5055 I romanced Miranda and, with the exception of Tali or Ashley once or twice, I always romance Miranda. I can't not romance Miranda. I need to romance Miranda.
I know Liara is the canonical romance option and has the most amount of content written for her, but I have never done a complete Liara romance.
@@gammadion Liara only works in ME1. In ME 2 and 3 her character is lacking. There is much more to Miranda.
That awkward moment when you realize EDI was watching the whole thing.
+Darth Serpace Or Kasumi annnnd Kelly annnd the the whole SR2 engineering staff just a howler away.
+Darth Serpace Wath? Makeing tattoo? BW is bunch of cowards for backing all sex scenes after ME controversy. C'mon CDP could make them in Witcher series and nobody died from hearth attack seeing them.
she's like the FBI, she's watching EVERYTHING!
Jason Armstrong Even more. FBII are humans. EDI is literally ship as whole. In theory, for her to catch anybody on ship it's enough to just lock doors.
NemoTheEight she better hopes nobody brings a light saber on board
"Your trauma is unimpressive" is easily the funniest dialogue wheel snippet in the game.
The dialogue snippets are way more dickish than the actual lines lol
I always liked Jack. She had it rough and deserved someone to love her.
She likes it rough
Jakomi of the Rose yeaaa!;) ive realy love this carrecter. She needed. To be loved...
Jakomi of the Rose - With her character being as it was, I'm kinda surprised they didn't make her bisexual. I don't know why, but for some reason I think it would've been befitting for her character.
The one thing I wish they would've done by ME3 is have given her long flowing hair, instead of the cut she had. Her look, both I'm ME2 and ME3, was a little to butch for my tastes.
Vale Sauce yeah they weren't really fleshed out but I'm not salty cause I got the game on a sale
Me to man...;)

*REKT*
That moment when your teacher tears you a new one
Elisabeth Hawke I'm still laughing!
You underestimate my patheticness!
Elisabeth Hawke haha so clever
Jack is the living embodiment of the phrase "Inside every pessimist is a disappointed optimist". Dig beneath the hardened, bitter, "fuck you" exterior, and you find someone who's extremely loving. Someone who cares intimately about a sense of family and the safety of those close to her.
Once you get past her barriers (pun intended), she's close to being as adorable as Tali... just with a lot more swearing.
Grymbaldknight INDEED
And with more real tattoos rather than "omni-tat omni-toooooo" as Tali would say
Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity.
In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes." And let's you play her shore leave toy in the last days of your life. Blocking every other romance with people like Tisoni, who really watch your back.
I like how she still spills out the "I'm the victim" shit. Turning himself in to the alliance, was a good way for Shepards crew to be acceptable too. Maybe even an ex-con could become a teacher... finding a new family ( " Those kids are mine.MINE.") But she blames him for it. Allways playing the guilt card. Harder, if he is reluctant to refresh their relation ship.
Even in caring for others she can only care for herself. In the end, she's the one, who is just making out.
Clever disigned. And you can't blame her for being a survivor. And she won't really blame you for being no survivor.
@@kenkongermany7860 who hurt you?
@@IAMNOTRANA Jack obviously.
It's funny, cause in the destroy ending he IS lying under a pile of rubble barley breathing.
I just noticed that
oh my god I wanna cry now. you just made me realize shepard has a happy ending sortof
Yeah if you have a very high/maxed warscore and choose the Destroy-ending, Shepard survives. It's what I chose to be considered "canon" :V
at the end of the game if you survive he is in the same state jack was worried about.
Of course I survived, what you think ?
"Anyone screws with my students, I will tear them apart." If she ever has a child, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR LIFE do not bully it in school.
So true.
you truly think the child of Shepard and Jack can actally be bullied? you are a funny guy :-)
RaitonUser Love that response!
Agreed.
True... Okay, let me put it in another way then... you think anyone DARES to bully the kid of Shepard and Jack?
Her voice actress is SO good! There's an audible difference in tone between 3 and 2 but you wouldn't notice it if they weren't back to back like here.
In fact she sounds more lively and happy in 3

Something about the delivery of those lines cracks me up.
Jack: "If you're asking about a boyfriend or girlfriend, no, it's a waste of time and it never works"
Shepard The Seducer: *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?*
Even Samara couldnt resist him. Yet i really like Samara.

Liara definitely didnt last because shes a thot and a freak. She talks nice but, is crazy on the inside. Liara is actually like most pretty women.
Honestly, I think she would go somewhere a safe distance away from everyone just unleash a biotic wave that would level everything around her, then just break down crying. I would think though that given how she develops during the romance and the series she would have a support system to help her through it.
You can see her mourn the kids at least if they die in the end.
@@billclark5055 Liara is the only one who believed in Shepard, looks for Shepard and actually makes the most canon sense though
@@billclark5055 what in the fuck did I just read💀might as well straight up say you get no play wtf is this
Jack has got a hard shell, but once you crack it, she's an awesome partner for male Shep.
I think Liara is better
first American tsundere lol
***** I thought Miranda is a tsundere. Jack is more like a yandere
***** You guys got it all wrong. Miranda is kuudere as in she's cool and all business on the outside but sweet on the inside. Jack is not yandere, she'd be totally obsessed with Shepard or tsundere, she'd be acting like she hates him and never be honest with herself or him. She's her own category: jackdere. Just her crazy contradicting self and sometimes loving.
Nadira Laukili I never heard of a kuudere before.
edit: reading its meaning at tv tropes. kuudere does sounds like miranda
Shepard seriously cannot dance but he does get points for not caring
He and Williams deserved to die for their act on the flux dancefloor. Tisoni close behind.
This is why i always visit yt comment section
I thought that the Jack romance was the sweetest. In the end, Jack let go of her rough exterior and let Shepard in. Her crying really moved me. Sometimes the toughest people are the ones who need love the most.
gokulauri Erm no your wrong, she has a soft side however she has had a life of abuse so doesn't open up unless someone is presistant.
She was on various websites that would be for soft people.
***** That is exactly what I just said
"You just have to know where to put it"- she should be dating Jon Snow
😆👍🏻
+Sergesh Dimitri She would be perfect for Jon, Jack would just push him around all day like Ygritte did jajaja
I know it’s late but current Jon Snow likes to be pegged by his muh kween
Jon snow isn’t manly enough for Jack lmao
"You know nothing, Jon Snow."
-Jack, probably
I like the idea that after the Red Ending, Shepard is lying there thinking "Well hot damn, this tattoo really worked."
If it's still there. Harbinger might have singed it off a bit.
I emptied my thermal clip that day. She gave me a hand.
Just a hand?
Lmao Shepard we all know you have the biggest blaster!
I bet you used your plasma burster as a tool.
We'll bang ok?
The part where Shepard cups her chin and says "It's alright. No more questions." and they embrace and she starts crying.
To this day, that still sends tendrils of warmth winding around even my icy and lightless heart.
Manning Damant That was the moment my heart melted. I couldn't bring myself to romance anyone else after Jack.
Yeah, nothing better then the selfish tears of those who crave to be loved. And are unable to love you back. But we only realized that in part 3.
The second sentence had me in the first half not gonna lie.
I gotta say, Jack was one of the more interesting and awesome characters in this series. (up there with Thane) In addition to being a great modified example of the "tough exterior, complex inner feelings" character type, her whole reaction to Shepard's constant lack of giving up on her is played believably and realistically. It felt much harder to get to her than the other characters, and that made conversations between her and Shepard much more interesting.
Plus, if you want any other reasons, she's one of the strongest allies in the entirety of Mass Effect 2. Maxing out her biotic abilities makes her "freight train" levels of unstoppable, and she's tied with Grunt in terms of offense.
SEnigmaProductions Also, completely off-topic here, but Shepard is absolutely *deadpan* in these games. Even when his face is smiling, his tone never ever changes. It makes a lot of potentially good scenes end up being *really* awkward.
SEnigmaProductions It even rubs off on femshep too
Williams is way harder to get AND keep. If you want to get Williams the best place to start is M.E. 1, then begins the hard part, saying the right things, keep in mind shes a military brat and a Marine, and most guys are not use to dealing with strong confident military chicks like her, you have to be playful, caring, a small amount of Renegade, but by a great majority Paragon. She gets jealous big time, so if she survives the bomb planting mission ( You choose Ashley or Kaiden) and you do get her in bed, and you finish your M.E.1 story with her, M.E. 2 will be torture if you want to remain faithful to williams, but if you do manage to keep your Johnson in your pants, M.E. 3 will be rewarding, and easier to lock her in compaired to if you dint lock her in in M.E. 1 or you did but you sliped up and banged another chick in M.E. 2, if you did do the later then its a uphill battle from there because of her jealousy, but its not impossible. The easiest and well rewarding that I have seen is Tali, Liara is harder then Tali because shes hardly arround in M.E. 2 unless you play the D.L.C. ( Yes I know, another finger from Bioware), but Liara is easier to get back with in M.E. 3, where as if you reject Tali, Miranda or Jack in M.E. 2 thats it your screwed in M.E. 3. Oh and one more thing, If you want to keep your crew alive at the last misstion in M.E. 2 Have all of your crew loyal, Miranda as your leader, Tali the one crawling through the vents, that fish guy Thorin I think his name is escort the survivors, the Justicar help get you through the swarm, and Mordin and Jack fight beside you the whole time, thats what worked for me, check it out and see if it works for you, and dont use Grunt at all, the firefight at the shuttle will be brutal.

I really liked how Jack became a teacher. I know a girl like her and they nail that type of personality. Both my friend and Jack just want to help people but don't know how. So to find her helping kids with their biotics, in her own Jack-type way, was awesome.

They did this romance so well. I was always a Liara kind of guy but Jack may be my favorite romance. You can tell the writers loved Jack.
Jack is beautiful as hell.
I was thinking that as well. The fact that she is bald and all those tattoos can be a little intimidating, but she's really good-looking.
@maciejl20 Yes, I can see it now. When I wrote my comment almost two years ago I did not quite see it, but now is clearer than ever
@maciejl20 that may be the best comment I've seen in a while. So much truth in that and it's sad.
Wow. Oddly prophetic of her. Lying under a pile of burning rubble indeed.

I . . . love . . . how Shepard and Jack are having this whole conversation that's, y'know, personal and really no one's business - but James and the other squadmate are just standing five feet away. Staring right at them.
Classy.
My favorite thing about this romance, is the 2nd game when she first comes up to your cabin. All she's ever wanted is a genuine hug from someone who honestly cares about her and isn't interested in using or abusing her. The image of that hug, and her years of pain pouring out in the form of tears, melts even my icy and lightless heart.
My favorite part is, how she lets you go thru her biggest fear in part 3.
Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity.
In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes."

Even in caring for others she can only care for herself. In the end, she's the one, who is just making out.
To me, she was the only romance option at all and the worst in 3. Hurt like hell.
Jack and Thane are two of the best romances, the only reason I like Thane more is because it matches up perfectly with the ending, him "waiting across the sea". There's no heartbreak for someone after Shepard's story ends. It's incredibly beautiful.
"We need to discuss our relationship" so pushy Shepard
Truly the most rewarding romance in the game, the way she see that for the first time someone actually care for her and she starts to open up emotionally is beautiful.
this is one of the more endearing romances. here is a girl, psychologically and physically scarred through experiments, betrayals, and being used and dumped. then in comes the hero of the galaxy to show her that someone does care and pulls her back into the light.
then she lets him live her biggest fear. to her, there must be a vicim in a romance - and it won't be her.

@@kenkongermany7860 the amount of trash that you writed is amazing. Liara and Tali are by far the most cringy romances in the whole series, the cult of shepard is just pathetic meanwhile romances with Ash, Miranda and Jack are focused in development and supportive relationship bethween two person with traumas and insecurities, Shepard develop a real chemistry with those trhee romances because it give him something that feels true, natural and human none of them are planned to be perfect but u can find some sincere about those womans and that is they love Shepard despite everything.
and the fact of Jack caring about those children is completely understable, they doesnt have family as her, they are discriminated by their condition and they find themselves in middle of a galactic war, sending them to the front is inmoral. as you can see in Thessia being a biotic aganist reapers is almost useless, unless you're a very unique biotic like Shepard, Samara, Jack, Aria or Liara being of biotic child with no experience in combat for sure you will be butchered.
and the way you are speaking is like you only consider you playthrough as everybody's canon lmao, as if Shepard cannot lie, manipulate and use people for his own sake or the mission. Typical braind dead shipper.
@@dr.chocolates2630 Hm, I talked a bit ruthless about fictional charakters. You try to insult a living person.
Which is kinda funny, because I share your impression of a highly manipulative Shepard.
He/She is often in both paragorn/renegade adapting to the person in front of him/her. So the best way to find out, what shepard really thinks of a person, is to play him in both ways. Which I did. Veeery often.
Yes, Jack loves male shep as much as she can. But... that isn't much.
Ever delayed the last step to Jack visiting you in your cabin in part two until after the suicide mission?
Funny little detail there : Remembering Murtock(s death), tears dwell in Jacks eyes. They are still dwelling then, when she talks to shep in his cabin. And start floating when ... you no.
So, who is on her mind the most in that moment ?
She loved both. Murtock and Shep. And survived both. Who knows, if Murtock wouldn't have survived if she fought at his side ? But she never tried. As with shep. Jack: Surviver first, lover second. Shepard : Jesus/Legion/Messias first, lover second.
@@dr.chocolates2630 Miranda, Jack and Alenko
God damn it. I just realized that after all this, Jack still ends up losing the person she loves. That will undoubtedly mess her up big time.
Aaaand THAT'S why you pick the destroy ending xD
***** If you have ultra high military and galactic readiness, Shepard may have lived and woke up in the rubble back on Earth but it is all up for interpretation (Indoctrination theory and all). It does make sense though when Jack says that she gave you that tattoo to find you under the rubble and bodies if you get hurt because she doesn't want to lose another loved one ever again, poetic if you think about it.
I've had like 4100+ EMS before the final mission, I did every possible side quest in the game. I think with like 3000+ EMS you can get that best ending, destroy, Earth gets saved and Shepard lives.
my issue with the destroy ending is that you also kill the geth and edi, and i worked to dam hard to bring peace to the quarians and geth dammit
@@jamesherb4384 I'm pretty sure Edi is gone for good, but there's a good chance they could rebuild the Geth, not Legion specifically, since he was made up of thousends of different Geth, but I'm sure they could rebuild them
"come on we know you cant dance" truer words have not been spoken, his dancing could be counted as war crimes im sure
Why is it the less "normal" the relationships in this series get, the more sincere they feel?
Because oddities are sexy and intriging. They demand content.
Because normal is boring, cmon that should be obvious
Honestly the tattoo scene got me right in the feels. Especially when I did the destroy run and saw the rubble scene.
I kinda liked Jack more than Miranda... and Ashley
Davis Grant the crazy chick with a heart of gold, who can resist
When you can't decide, take them all.
No one likes that bitch Ashley. Jack is the best.
Ashley is just jealous She's a pain in the ass.
StephySon I like Williams.
Jack: Really, just leave me alone.

Shepard: We need to talk about us.
Dammit! this got me foggy eyed. I romanced Miranda in ME2 and 3 but seeing Jack as a character that has a tough shell but a soft soul is making me regret.

James Ross Yeah, the fact that you have to play through Mass Effect 3 again is a huge turnoff
Seth ノートン ikr
I prefer maleshep. The sheer, cold emotionlessness in his delivery of funny lines is absolutely priceless. Especially in the third game.

He's also technically undead, so do your worst.
look at 5:30 that scowl on her face. And then at 5:48 how her expression changed and how vulnerable she looks. Doesn't matter the texture resolution, doesn't matter the number of polygons. Not one of the Mass Effect: Andromeda characters is able to pull that out. And don't get me started on their eyes and the light reflexion 15:33
I really love Jack as a character, but she's so emotionally damaged in ME2 that romancing her always felt uncomfortably close to exploitation to me.
thats what makes it so good.
She's by far the most active in bed.
I pull the renegade move and just f*** her. I'm a realist. chicks like her do not get loved they cannot be loved and if you do love her and they try to settle down they will do something to self fulfill the prophecy that she cannot be loved. it's not possible and it's never going to work. they good for f****** though
Yeah I get that, she was emotionally damaged but it's not like she had issues with getting in relationships she just didn't trust them when she was.
She trusted it with Shepard and that's what counted.
@@madkabal Maybe not by you or me, but we can't save the galaxy, either. Shepard? He's another matter entirely.
If he can inspire a ragtag bunch of mercs and crazy people to fight off and die against the greatest threat to the galaxy, he can convince one woman that she deserves to be loved.
there's a lot of comments on here, but is anyone else kinda bummed at how little time we get with Jack? looking at the related videos sidebar, Cortez has even more time with Shep. dude's only in the third game.
+Mike Spud True, that's the reason why she doesn't make it that far up on the LI ladder. Too little screentime.

Another reason for ME3's hate I'm sure. So little time with characters we loved. I mean, it goes from 6 in ME1, to like 12 in ME3, then they rip that all away from us and put us back at 6. Plus, the whole "wander around the ship is where most of the interaction comes from" was just a poorly implemented. They should have done the traditional ways (full character interaction and dialogue instead of just discovering them doing stuff).
Agree totally. Always eager to talk to Jack in ME2 and see her those 2 short times and wait to play Citadel (always play it after Horizon) to hear her "you belong to me" (never push paragon button just to hear and watch that scene), to hear her "tattoo" comment "it's not about nice etc". (she still has her manner of speech but it doesn't bother me at all). In these moments you really see that she loves you (too bad about endings for her, loosing a person she loves...).
Of course it frustrates as hell that other characters have more content: you see Miri even more and Horizon "die" scene - if she dies of course - made as if she is ME3 squad member (at least it is for me) Or just look at Tali dialogies, or Liara: I come to Mars, my male Shep, who is SOO eager to see the only woman he loves and he doesn't even know if she is alive, looks and talks to Liara as if he is about to kiss her...WTF is this? Obviousely Jack is not popular (wrote it in another comment ), people even made HUGE mods for Miri, Tali, Ash, but Jack? Shame to me that I can't create mods, if could, would have done a huge mod for her similar to Miri or something else. Poor underestimated (but beloved my me and minority of other players) Jack.
It's because ME3 has way better character interactions than 1 and 2, but since Jack isn't on the Normandy in 3, she can't benefit as much as Steve.
"That's why they call it a surprise, dumbass."
Jack is the best.
Shepard is charismatic as Fuck. Ever notice that?
GODZILLADRAGON111 Obviously lol, his charisma is what carries the entire plot of Mass Effect 3
You know how many playable characters in ME3 can kick more arse than Shepard? Lots.
None of them are leading the joint-species fightback.
"Nobody else ever mattered enough" - so casually said, such the reality of her whole universe now.
i love the fact that bioware makes jack say "boyfriend or girlfriend" when talking about relationships but ccan only b romanced by a male shep
She is open but she seems to prefer guys.
They call it being bi-curious.
Raptormann0205 that sounds pretty cringe to me guy
@@Raptorman0205 not curious enough for fem Shep tho...
i heard that she was initially supposed to be able to be romanced by both, but because of the outrage of by the media over sex in video games at the time, caused bioware to tone down that sort of stuff, i believe there are even voice lines in the that are for femshep as well, but not 100% on that.
Jack was one of those characters that i didn't think i would like, but i actually ended up liking a lot. Never romanced her but she's still one of my favorite ME characters.
There's something about the music and the way Male Shep says, "The best." It just lines up so perfectly and gets me in the feels every time
"DRINK YOUR JUICE, RODRIGUEZ!"
"So what? You've ever seen me flinch? Or run? Death is easy, fucking on/off switch! But this, it just burrows in, like those husks you end up with nothing inside." - and I was positively swayed
"Okay, what the fuck, Shepard." Is basically Mass Effect summed up in one sentence 😂
Always loved Jack. Would love to meet a real life version of her.
Look up pictures of megan fox when she shaved her head it's almost identical
The fact that the Destroy ending looks like it's going to be canon makes me really happy about the last scene with Jack, and the ink. Because it means Jack could be the one to find him under all that rubble. And she deserves to know he's alive.
Jack's fear of feeling love for someone and finally opening her heart to Sheppard, the only being that's treated her right and has worried about her makes this romance one of the best I've seen in a videogame. It really touches. It's so real.
Speaking of real :
Jack has the selfishness of an early abused. In part two she tells you her ugly deeds and craves to be loved anyway. Hence the tears of self-pity.
In part 3 you are "fair game" as she said in part 2. Shepard even says : "I'm game" in 3. She answers "God, you make the best mistakes." And let's you play her shore leave toy in the last days of your life. Blocking every other not harmful romance with people like Tisoni, who really watch your back.
I like how she still spills out the "I'm the victim" shit. Turning himself in to the alliance was a good way for Shepards crew to be acceptable too. Maybe even an ex-con could become a teacher... finding a new family ( "Those kids are mine.MINE.") But she blames him for it. Allways playing the guilt card. Harder, if he is reluctant to refresh their relation ship.
Even in caring for others she can only care for herself. In the end, she's the one, who is just making out.
Never considered romancing Jack before but I might do it in future play throughs, the interactions are great, especially throughout ME3
Jack’s PTSD was real and I always found that dealing with her was pretty damn similar to dealing with close friends who also suffered from PTSD. Loved breakin’ down her walls and getting to know the secretly fluffy Jack ❤️
jack is what eleven is going to grow up to be
I was thinking about the exact same thing haha. 11 is so cute
Jack is one of the coolest characters
Jack's character development is so beautiful throughout the romance
"I've only had these students for a day and a half but if anything happened to them I would kill everyone in this room and then myself." - Jack in ME3
I feel like her emotional acting is cheapened by male shepard's robotic acting.
SA2112 i thought it was hysterical LMFAO!!!
@zadose I think that is kinda the point of Shepherd tho, the guy is kinda a robot with blood and bones
You've obviously never talked to any military commanders..
Yeah, but in the end, he is probably a Cerberus KI who only deems himself human. That's why most of us killed the Quarians.
@@kenkongermany7860 I kill the quarians because as nice as Tali is and some of the people, their leadership is fucking incompetent and in ME3 the geth are just easily the better allies, especially when you go through the sequence watching their creation and “rebellion.” The quarians were dipshits.
That and legion is as cute as Tali don’t @ me
Jack would likely handle Shep’s death the worst out of all potential partners
Jack is alot more adorable than I had thought.
As soon as my female character said "Fuck you!" in Fallout 4 i knew it was same voice actress as Jack :)
I like how jack gets flustered when shepard takes intrest in her. Its funny how everyone has a crush on shepard even if they dont admit it.
Jack is my favorite lover in ME. She reminds me of someone who was very special to me. RIP Elyse Blanchard, I love you
I love how at the end of me2 it’s not sex like with the others, they’re just holding each other like the love birds they are
And the tsundere award goes to Jack
I gotta say, Mark Meer's delivery drastically improved in ME3
Ahh Jack's the greatest.
Playing the Citadel DLC after beating the game just recently makes that sequence at 15:00 all the more tragic. Really touching. I'm looking forward to ME4, but I can't imagine falling in love with another group of characters to anywhere near the same extent as in this series. Jack, Garrus, Mordin... Ahh, I wish there were more DLCs!
Maddolis INB4 EA makes indoctrination theory canon, now that would be a twist.
An you take control of a new hero to actually get rid of the reapers as Shepard is MIA/dead/indoctrinated.
14:14 this bit makes this romance just that much special to me since in the destroy ending that is exactly what happens.
I still think this is the best romance in the game. Every time i either see this vid or play the game i keep thinking that this is better than Tali or Liara (although i don't dislike either of them)
But the moment at 5:55 is my favourite.
Throughout the game you have been pealing off one layer after the other with Jack. She built this wall around her and you took it down, piece by piece. You dug deeper than anyone else ever even tried. And now, as she shows up with tears in her eyes... at her most vulnerable... you point out that you won't peel any further. You won't force her to open up any further. She is safe with you.
You finally reached her core and you only embrace it. And then that part when you hug her and you see that she is indeed crying, it just makes me want to throw Shepard away and hug her myself. And there is no sex scene here. No moment of extacy or sweaty-naked passion. Just calm and trust. It is not what you might have been wanting, but it was what she needed.
Damn... the writing in this storyline is amazing.
Ong bro u can feel it
Is the voice actor of Jack the same voice actor for the female protagonist of Fallout 4? Cause she sounds exactly the same.
+JK193765 Yep.
Oh snaps, i didn't even know....
Yeah I can hear it.
Especially in the end when she finds… well, you know… and says, "Bullshit!" If you choose it
Goddammit I didn't even notice. Now that's all I can hear.
jack - “ no matter what happens , keep shooting “
Shepard - “ what about you ? “
Jack - “ I’ll help pop your thermal clip “
That’s like the best sex ME innuendo ever .
Here in 2019 and I still replay the trilogy a few times a year. By far the best games I've played to this day.
8:20 I love how she calls out shep for being a womanizer. Jack’s charisma is unparalleled except by shep himself
I ended really like Jack's romance. I was originally going to do Miranda but there's a part of the game I sided with Jack and ran with it...did not regret it
UnlimitedProduction1 I have a similar experience as you except it was Tali instead of Miranda. I guess it was because I reunited with her late my ME2 storyline. By the time I got Tali, I was already engaged with Jack. Also, didn't regret it :)
Man I wish that they would make a game about Shepard and jacks romance I romanced her in me2 and me3 as well and it makes me so sad how little time you get with her it really is a shame she's such a great character and hot as hell too
I swear me too
The jack romance is actually pretty fucking cute
Jack in 3 is such a brilliant evolution. I love her in that game, finally tapping into her potential and being just the right amount of sass, horny, and badass. Plus the mohawk hairstyle is perfect for her.
Jack is the closest you get to tsundere in this game.
Wait, the Romance leaves out Eezo the Badass Biotic Varren?
I call bullshit.
Maybe she never adopts Eezo. Maybe she's worried if Shepard is allergic to varren?
I love how jack changes for the better the longer you know her
Yeah, one of the most interesting character in gaming history (manly tears)
Jack: I don’t want to be in a relationship with you, it’s gonna hurt both of us.
*Shepard The Galactic Seducer* : Yes, you do.
Jack: Yes, I do, daddy.
Lmfao
Shepard: We'll bang, okay?
Thermal clip is now what I shall call it.
This is the only romance that makes Male!Shepard show some emotion.
Male Shep has unspoken emotion with Tali.
Unspoken is the best kind ^^
tali is Garruz^
isabel vazquez ashley is muscle dude who's name escapes me
Paragon shep lira
mid Mirada
Renegade jack
@Shaheem Grimes Gokuson first of all don’t go around calling me a fanboy cause i am NOT a man 🤢❌ second of all you know damn well most mass effect players agree that male!shep’s writing and va was bland at best
I would like to have a girl like this, damn
Wineax There are no girls like jack
***** why?
Wineax because jack is win.
You'll need to be as badass as Shepard if you want to chance to even talk to her.
You wouldn,t
Jack is by far the best LI for a sole survivor Shepard who survived Akuze background due to the fact both Jack and Shepard have been screwed over by Cerberus in the past
