I'm curious - As the title says, how many people bother to assign talents to Jenkins?
Personally I always do so. Seems wrong not to at least 'try' to give him a fighting chance.

I put his points into combat armour. At least gave him a fighting chance. Be funny if that actually made a difference.

I don't... by the end of the game there are a lot of deaths on Shepard, so Jenkins is the first. I also vaguely remember having the idea that points assigned to Jenkins lessened the number of points available to assign to Ashley after acquiring her... but I haven't verified that notion in many, many years so I could be misremembering.

I don't even remember to put talent points in for Shepard half the time, of course Jenkins isn't getting any points.

I do. Same with Anderson in ME3. I play them as though they are regular squadmates I'll need to level up as we go.
Edit: This makes sense from a RP perspective.

For RPG purposes, I treat Jenkin's death as an unknown for Shepard … so of course, I put points into Jenkin's skills.
Same for DA Awakening DLC … I always put points into Mhairi.

I put his points into combat armour. At least gave him a fighting chance. Be funny if that actually made a difference. Plot twist: The points you put into armour, soaks up more damage. Causing the Geth to shoot him more, increasing the poor lads suffering... You monster Zarrokhai!

I usually did for Jenkins. As well as ME3 Anderson (nothin' wrong with Husks on fire, though since there's no grenade ammo around as far as I remember, these points are truly wasted)
As for Mhairi... I did re-skill her even at one point. She also levels at least once, so there's some room. Oh, and I adjust her tactics. That function meant to have her swap between Shield Cover and Shield Wall is deadly due to the latter's long cooldown.

Off topic (again) … but when I got a character unlocked in DAO and DA2, the first thing I did after point allocation was set up their tactics.
With a few specific exceptions, by the time enough powers and tactic slots unlocked, pretty much all my companions took care of themselves …
And I could count on their actions to support my HoF or Hawke game play.
I thought that was pretty cool.
I miss that.

Soldier? Given that he's in ME1, we could also further assume he would be (or become) a Commando or Shock Trooper. I'm going with Shock Trooper because of the health bonuses. Every little bit counts in keeping him alive. And he's definitely be a romance for Shep. He'd probably survive Eden Prime.

With a few specific exceptions, by the time enough powers and tactic slots unlocked, pretty much all my companions took care of themselves … And I could count on their actions to support my HoF or Hawke game play. I thought that was pretty cool. I miss that. Same here. I spend absolutely ages tweaking the tactics. The hardest one, or at least the one I've yet to truly be happy with is a proper set of tactics for Arcane Warrior/Battlemage. I typically use Velanna as my main tank in an Arcane Warrior/Battlemage build but it's hard to get the tactics right. Her best method of generating threat and holding aggro (aside from weapon runes) is to cast Entropy hexes on enemies, which generate an absolute tonne of threat but getting her to cast them automatically in combat, and in the right order is tricky.
.... that was way off topic
