I can't help but wonder if that was because the writer(s) desperately needed to make saving Jaxo desirable and knew that giving the other prisoners backstories (or, worse, making them people you knew) would mean absolutely nobody would choose Jaxo. This case felt like a really pale imitation of that because it made the decision solely about only one half of the 'players' and left the other prisoners as an amorphous group.

There's a somewhat similar choice in the Mass Effect series that handled this type of situation much, much better because you had to choose between two well-developed characters. By that I mean the hundreds of prisoners are kept completely anonymous, Jaxo is begging for her life directly to you and she's the only named/known NPC that you have any kind of connection to - the playing field is uneven. In addition, the writer(s) then doubled down on the shallowness.the choice is intentionally made uneven to cover for the fact there's no real justification for saving Jaxo. Not that that doesn't make her sympathetic per se, but it felt really cheap. Her "arc" with a male trooper was even worse - it was such a blatant attempt to make her sympathetic that it actually made me like her less - the decision to save her or the prisoners would have been more difficult for me if my trooper's connection to her wasn't "she's desperate to have sex with me".īeing blunt - if Jaxo was less attractive or male (except, to an extent, if she was Jonas Balkar) or, to cut to the chase, didn't include having sex with a male trooper as one of her apparent primary motivations in life, I somehow doubt people would have been as affected. She gets an okay "girls night out" scene for a female trooper (albeit with a far too on-the-nose comment about duty being easier when you aren't about to die), but basically is kind of a blandly likeable fangirl otherwise. It's funny, I've always found this to be a pretty easy decision (not that I didn't still feel a little bad, though) -įirst and foremost - Jaxo was way too shallow of a character for me to care too much about her.
