The first NPC you meet face-to-face in the entire game, Jacob is a an eerily calm character who, like Shepard, has roots in the Alliance military. In part two of this Mass Effect 2 NPC guide I will cover Jacob, Thane, Legion, Miranda, and Zaeed. Each character also now has a new “loyalty power” which is unlocked upon successful completion of each NPC’s loyalty mission.
In Mass Effect 2, Bioware has gone to greater lengths to try and make sure the each character has a very unique personality and that there is as little overlap in abilities as possible. Mass Effect 2 includes a whole new range of characters who can accompany Shepard on missions as well as two old friends.
