The end credits song of Andromeda was one of the few things Andromeda did well. If you make it that far. There's always youtube, I guess. That made me guffaw. I actually could not recall the end credits to Andromeda and had to YouTube it. Meh. ME1's end credits have stuck with me ever since I first came to it. I was in a state of complete wonder.

ME1's end credits have stuck with me ever since I first came to it AND I NEED YOU TO RECOVER While I would not use his words directly, he is right. The end of ME1 leaves you feeling on top of the world - or the Citadel, sort of - lets call it the Presidium Tower. I was elated! Seeing my squad survive, seeing Anderson pulling weight and taking charge, thinking that maybe Shepard didn't make it - only to see them climb from the wreckage of Sovereign and Citadel debris with that sneer/grin yet still a little hurt by how they held their arm..... it hit the mark. We did it! We stopped the Reapers, for now... Then you are thrust into a conversation with the Council, Anderson and Udina. It is crazy and dislocating, but we have a job to do - you make your choice and get to the task. The final cut scene (or so I thought) was Guardian Shepard of the Order of Paragon, and instead of fade to black there is this amazing song while the credits roll. I watched ALL of the credits and listened to the whole song - it hit me right in the feels. These are but some of the moments that made Mass Effect what it is. It had me stoked for ME2. The ending of ME2 hit those feels too, with the whole Suicide Mission and dealing with the Illusive man and a pretty similar sneer/grin. ME3 has no moments like that - at all. Neither do Andromeda and Anthem.

Indifferent. If it's in the correct timescale and they're relevant to the plot (e.g. meeting with Wrex as krogan leader, or Tali if convening with the quarian admiralty) I wouldn't mind.
I wouldn't want random fan service shoehorns that makes the universe feel small, though. There's little reason I can think of to run into Jacob raising his kids with that NPC or James pumping iron at the gym.
I'd make an exception for crashing on Zaeed's tropical island and having a goddamn tasty drink.

You just know Jacob would be wearing his tactical wetsuit while sitting around in his house with his kid or something, probably saying the same boring stuff he usually says. ”Hah, good to see you still kicking, Shepard. This is Brin. Remember Brin? You saved us at that Cerberus fa....” ”Fucking Christ I know what I did. Hi hello congrats I was just leaving.” Too bad Zaeed’s voice actor died. I can’t imagine they’d bother to replace his VA for a reprisal.

On second thought, Jacob showing up and having a random, awkward 2 lines of dialogue like in the ME3 hospital would be something I could get behind.
He can show up, talk about cheating on the NPC he cheated on femshep with, and how he's dodging child support on Illium. Ask him about how his dad is doing. End on some inane "gotta savor the little moments while you can" platitude or something.

ah yes, Jacob 'Gravity is one mean mother' Taylor. Say what you want about the guy. He did provide cover fire for Shepard and his girl for them to get back to the shuttle safely. What were the squadmates doing? Lets ask them.
Williams and Tali: We were having drinks t'soni: I was stealing armor to add to my collection Vega: I was getting another tattoo Javik: I don't care about you primitives Alenko: I was at the drugstore getting some aspirin for my headache editbot: I was thinking of a joke Vakarian: I saw something that needed to be calibrated
He is not my favorite character, but had no problem having him on the squad in ME2. If there's to be an ME4, I wouldn't be surprised if he never shows up at all.

You have to appreciate the shitty optics of the sole black man of the roster being the one to not only move on in that time frame, but be the one to knock up somebody in the process. Like, golly BioWare. Way to handle that gracefully lol It being Jacob is mainly why so few people care. If this was Liara, Tali, Miranda, Jack Kaidan or Ashley, the salt would flow endlessly. Like, imagine if Garrus and Tali just up and got together after ME2 regardless of whether or not you romanced either of them. You just know players would go back to make sure one died lol

Yeah Shep should've just let the Reapers show up 6 months early and kill that 300k anyway, while also dooming the whole cycle (Crucible wasn't discovered yet). Jacob cheated because he was unpopular and the writers didn't want to bother with writing dialogue to continue the romance when barely anyone went after the Priiiize (too heavy risk, I suppose).

Hey I think it was the right call, but I am not surprised when people move on when their significant other is in prison. You aren't married, you've only been dating for like a few months. It was far more realistic than all the permanent mooning over Shepard stuff you get from the other relationships.

That's rather racist, I think. I mean, Jacob's entire storyline was extremely racist, to be honest, but sure. And remember, not only had Jacob cheated on you, but he had knocked her up, during his time on the Normandy, while also, potentially, already in a relationship with Shepard. I mean ... sheesh! Not to mention you should never/always have Jacob lead the fire team. Even the Collectors paused a moment.

It was far more realistic than all the permanent mooning over Shepard stuff you get from the other relationships. Jacob was the only LI to say "I love you" at that point lmao. Then 3 months away and he's already knocked a random NPC up. Like Shep's in the military, regardless of prison he'd have known she's gonna go on deployments much longer than that. I guess its "realistic" in the sense that there really are lots of flaky piece of shit people out there only interested in one thing and if they aren't getting it they'll go elsewhere pretty quick Have to admit it's bad optics that the character Bio picks for that role is the only black guy. Not the weird aliens, not the VS who lost you for 2 years and thinks you betrayed them anyway, the black guy who said he loves you after knowing you for 3 weeks. Lmao
