Jacob is the most generic character in ME2. The only thing going for him is that he's black, but otherwise I don't think it would be possible to create a more boring character. If I wanted perfect realism, then yeah he's the sort of person that would probably be on the crew of a spaceship. But he's hardly a compelling character in terms of the narrative. Games/movies/books/etc are allowed to take liberties with realism in order to create more interesting stories- and they should.

He was more interesting than Miranda.

Allistar was hardly generic. In-fact Allistar was one of my favorites. It's not that Carth was generic or didn't have anything interesting about him it was that Carth was a complete asshole.

I didnt like Dragon Age xD Oh well. Mass Effect 4 Life

lol are you serious? they might as well be the same game. same storyline, same gameplay, same everything

Dragon Age and Mass Effect? Ya your right, BESIDES THERE 2 DIFFERENT STORY LINES AND WORLDS AND TIME. xD

One has lazers and one has magic. Yup

I'd say they were both on par in terms of how boring they were.

on some level all bioware games are the same. Still, the combat in dragon age is very different from the combat in mass effect.

And now that bioware doesnt give a shit about story and just want to rehash everything for a quick buck, combat is all we have.

ONE MEDIOCORE GAME AND BIOWARE IS EVIL.
DA2 wasn't even that fucking bad.

I was talking more about how Mass Effect 2 was a GEARS OF WAR with haphazardly spliced in bits from love hina, but you know.

The fact that DA2 was an Gauntlet Legacy with updated graphics wasn't really the best solution.

Also lol@womb's chart. I guess you didn't know that Joseph Campbell wrote for bioware. We should add Adam and Eve, Aeneas

Not every rpg has to be completely 100% original to be good and/or fun.
