that's true. He's also the least interesting character in the whole game. I hate how bioware always a generic character in their games: eg Jacob in ME2, Kaidan in ME1, Alistair in Dragon Age

How dare they have a relatively stable human being who exhibits decent judgement most of the time and isn't wildly eccentric in some way, completely ruins the immersion.

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.
