Mass Effect 2 - Jacob's loyalty mission - Dealing with Ronald Taylor - All options + squad comments

At the end of Jacob's loyalty mission you will finally meet the man in charge - Ronald Taylor, Jacob's father.
There are three ways you can deal with him - leave him on the island either at the mercy of his former crew or with a half-charged pistol which he will then use to end his own life. Finally, you can take him in to have the Alliance arrest him for his crimes.

This video includes all options of dealing with Jacob's father and the short conversation you will have with Jacob on the Normandy about his father's fate.

"Untrue. Intention easy to predict. Just don't care."
Well said, Mordin. Well said.

Jack's line is so metal. The others can imagine what the hunters will do to Ronald, but she knows from experience what people who lost their sanity and are extremely angry are capable of.

1:16 Damn! Legion can be scary in that sequence! With his head and back turned away from the others, willing and interested to see anger driven violence, with creativity to examine...

[rhenvao]

Legion's comment is my favorite for how unnervingly curious it is.

[iamthepatient]

honestly, this mission almost made jacob likeable. too bad he goes back to his boring, bland and unlikeable self right after

[azkar]

I love how everyone is sarcastic if you choose to leave him to his fate while Thane is just: oh, they will kill you

[fishmob]

It's nice to see someone posting all variations of Mass Effect things again. It's been awhile since somebody did that. This is one of the things I've been dying to know the variations of. Hopefully soon, I will find the last two variations I've been looking for, for awhile.

[zurcus]

Damn, every single squadmate approves of violence. That's how you know you messed up, when even someone like Tali agrees.
Also, I find it absurd abandoning him is the neutral option, while "shooting" is renegade. One is over in an instant, the other will leave him to suffer who knows how long. Which of the two is truly worse?

[tristanjorritsma]

Zaeed is always good to have around for Renegade responses, he’s so cold blooded

[blueshit]

I think it would've been a cool detail to have Samara shoot him herself without warning, with the justicar code dictating so, and all that

[kogarashi]

Honestly? One of my favorite loyalty missions.

[abyssalsage]

I just got done playing this mission and I decided to let his victims have at him with the neutral option at the end. I came to see if you'd done the other squadmates comments and you blessed us all with this lovely video.

That wonky punch with that sound effect caught me off guard and had me actually burst out laughing. Such a serious moment where Jacob finally shows SOME emotion and his father goes from disgruntled/irritated to accepting his fate with sadness and then just.... WHAM 😂

I hope making these videos is enjoyable for you because I (and dozens of other people, surely) am hella reaping (lol) the benefits from them.

I think the Paragon choice is the most painful one, idk what prison is like in the ME universe but if it's anything like here, people like him have a very bad time for a very long time

[Sktman]

<Aboard the Normandy.> Shepard: Don't even give them the tail lights.

[TayRich]

2:03 😂😂😂😂 they made the punch so dramatic 😂😂😂 when i got to that part i was rollin yo fr😂

[vikoct]

Renegade Shepard : I would have forgiven you for all the other crimes but you are jacob's father, for that alone you must die.

[wolfeusmc]

Only negative detail in this scene for me is that leaving him a half charged pistol should've been the neutral choice...leaving him with the ferals, slow torturous and ritualistic death.

[ChampionElCid]

1:05
For all squadmate reactions to abandoning him. They're all pretty great, though Mordin, Jack, and Thane I feel are the best.

[gabematthews]

Arrest: 😒
Leave him: 👌
Suicide:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
