Mass Effect 2
maxusy3k:
I definitely intepreted Jacob's comment to Tali as being a pretty snarky remark. She was being pretty anti-Cerberus for that whole meeting and there wasn't a whole lot he could do to come back on it, so I think that last comment was a purposeful kick in the ribs to her, otherwise there doesn't seem to be any sort of point in saying it whatsoever.
Still need to get around to completing a Paragon playthrough of this. Kinda sucks though that every time I think about starting a brand new character, I feel like I sort of have to get the same character through ME1 as well, just so I can build some kind of concrete narrative across both stories. Kinda want to do a playthrough where everybody dies, as well.
Alex C:
I have to warn you that I think I'd rather try pulling off a non-import Mixed or Renegade than a non-import male Paragon (fem Shep has an edge here via VA). As much as I hate to speak ill of the tweaked body language,* it does have the unfortunate side effect of emphasizing just how much of a ginormous space pussy a straight up Paragon Shep can be at times. I could handle the boy scout thing much easier when the talking head would just woodenly spit out some by-the-book bs and then be forced to shoot people. The friendly animations kinda reinforce the notion that he really does try to talk down half the criminal assholes in the galaxy, and it's not really terribly convincing. It's part of why I'm glad I imported-- with that big fat pile of renegade/paragon points I had laying around from the first game I felt pretty comfortable just being a snarky asshole whenever the situation warranted it without having to worry too much about not being able to complete some random ass quest conversation. On the bright side, there's a few more tough-but-fair Paragon options in ME2 than there seemed to be in ME1, which is a bonus. Plus, there's always the chance that I'm overestimating just how many conversation points you likely need to accomplish whatever you want, but you'd probably have to ask KvP or someone else more knowledgeable to know for sure.
*Seriously, please believe that I'm not trying to be combative about the body language tweaks that have been made. I am thrilled that progress is being made in this area at all.

Something that actually makes sense.
All Kaiden did was whine about being pushed around by a Turian in his school when you talk to him, but otherwise his interactions outside of the Normandy with you are incredibly... Plain. Like Alex C pointed out, all he has to say about things are just general, good two shoes thing. Ashely, on the other hand, has a much stronger moral code but at the same time it's at odds with a lot of things. If she were Shepard she wouldn't be entirely Renegade or entirely Paragon - she'd be a realistic balance.
Kaiden, on the other hand, is just boring to me. He mildly complains when you do something he doesn't like - Ashley goes, "What the hell, Commander?"
As for Jacob: I like him, but he does seem like a fish out of water with Cerberus. It still kind of makes sense, though: if you ask him why he joined Cerberus despite its past, he says they've changed some and he wants to be with them because they're actually doing something, whereas he felt like he was wasting his time in the Alliance and with the Corsairs. I also like him because he's an awesome squad member (pull, squad inferno ammo and high survivability? Yes please!) and I like his theme.

Jacob is basically paragon shepard.
